2023 Advocacy and Issues Forum - April
Minnesota Taxation Changes and Proposals
Join us on April 6th, to hear about what is being proposed and what has already passed this Legislative Session regarding both tax increases and reductions from two tax experts. This is your chance to hear of all the potential changes coming but also ask your buring questions. This forum will cover the budget surplus and if any of it will go to tax reduction, the Governor's budget and its impacts on taxes, issues that may result in raised taxes including Capital Gains Tax changes, 24 week paid leave mandate, and 5th Tier Income Tax, and where we currently are in the Legislative Cycle.
