34th annual survey: '50 legislative climates.'

Article Abstract:

Site Selection magazine conducted a survey on economic development officials of the 50 states and Puerto Rico to track state legislation that affects companies' decisions to either expand existing facilities or relocate. Arizona, for example, passed legislation to reduce vehicle license and business tax rates while increasing R&D tax credits, which will fuel its success in attracting high-tech companies. Colorado legislated corporate and personal income tax reductions and tax refunds as well as sales tax exemptions for biotech equipment.

States aim to make tax climates an advantage

Article Abstract:

States are restructuring their tax policies to lure foreign investors. Experts say that investors are partial to states that impose taxes on a separate company basis and shy away from those with personal property and employment-related taxes. They suggest that states focus their attention to eliminating or reforming franchise taxes as well as assure investors that they will not be taxed for investing in a partnership. They also cite Nevada and Idaho as states with competitive tax structures.

State budget surplus trigger fifth consecutive year of tax cuts

Article Abstract:

Most states have generated substantial budget surpluses because of a booming national economy and high employment levels. They are expected to receive even more money when the tobacco industry remits its settlement payments to the various sates before the end of FY 2000. These excess funds are part of the reason why all 50 state legislatures have granted tax cuts for the fifth straight year since 1994. Aggregate state tax reductions for FY 1999 totaled $5.5 billion.
