Great Northern Tax Break Costs Minnesota Big Losses
R J Farrington testified in Minneapolis at the state rate hearing that the Great Northern pays a 3 percent gross earnings tax under an old charter and thus contributes less than half of what it would if taxed like farm property. Minnesota lost about 500,000 annually, with last year’s shortfall near 8.5 million. Farrington estimated Minnesota property value at 40,045,400, suggesting a tax due of about 10,110,000 under a 2.60 percent rate, while the road paid 527,058.
