2005 Senate Bill 633 (Cut SBT tax rate) (Senate Roll Call 510)

Passed in the Senate (22 to 16) on October 25, 2005, to lower the Single Business Tax rate from 1.9 percent to 1.84 percent, and make more restrictive the thresholds that allow a firm to use the alternative gross receipts tax calculation method, or to claim an "excess compensation" SBT credit. This becomes part of a business tax cut proposal offered by Senate Majority Leader Ken Sikkema as an alternative to a larger tax cut passed by the House. [History, Amendments & Comments]
