Memorandum
The stated purpose of this bill is to phase-in a reduction of the corporate net income tax rate from nine percent to six percent by reducing the rate by one half of one percent per year, commencing January 1, 2006.
The bill, as written, indicates that “beginning the first day of January, two thousand six and on each first day of January after that for six successive years, the rate will be reduced by one half of one percent per year, with the rate to be six percent on and after the first day of January, two thousand ten.” However, if the tax rate is reduced by one half of one percent per year beginning on the first day of January, two thousand six, the tax rate would not be six percent until January 1, 2011.
