Introduced by Sen. Samuel B. Thomas, III (D) on May 25, 2005, to increase from $350,000 to $500,000 the Single Business Tax “cliff” or filing threshold for a small business in its first or second year. This is the amount of annual gross receipts that subjects a business to the tax. Below the “cliff” a business pays no tax; above it, a business pays SBT on its entire tax base, which is why it is called the “cliff”.
Referred to the Senate Finance Committee on May 25, 2005.
