S 1941 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act allowing for the deduction of business interest

This bill allows Massachusetts businesses to deduct interest expenses from their state taxable income, even if those expenses exceed their earnings. It achieves this by exempting corporations from the federal limit on interest deductions that took effect in 2018. The law applies to tax years starting after December 31, 2017, ensuring that businesses can fully deduct interest costs without reducing their net income for state tax purposes.
