A solution to many of the municipal challenges is to find new revenue sources that don’t hurt every day working people or small businesses. That’s why we are in support of Corporate Fair Share!
Raise Up Massachusetts is a grassroots coalition committed to building an economy that works for everyone. As a longtime member, the AFT Massachusetts is proud to have played a role in the group’s important campaigns in recent years including Earned Sick Time, Paid Family Medical Leave, raising the minimum wage, and the Fair Share Amendment. The Coalition recently launched a campaign to help generate new sources of revenue to support working families across Massachusetts. Right now, multi-billion dollar corporations are allowed to hide their profits in off-shore tax havens to avoid paying taxes in Massachusetts.
The Corporate Fair Share bill, An Act combatting tax avoidance, S.2033 and H.3110, would increase the share of those offshored profits that Massachusetts collects tax on -- bringing our policy in line with federal tax policy and what our neighbors in Rhode Island, Vermont, Maine, and New Hampshire already do.
