The Pass Through Bill
Refundable tax credits for pass‑through businesses proposed in Rhode Island
Provides that credits issued pursuant to § 44-11-2.3 relating to pass through entities would be refundable.
Bad for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would let certain business tax credits be paid back to owners, reducing the money the state gets from those businesses.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Citizens could see higher taxes or fewer services because the state would have to return money to businesses, while the businesses get a cash boost.
