Dear Chamber Members...

The 2013 Legislature enacted three new business-to-business (B2B) taxes during the last session after Governor Dayton indicated these taxes would not be part of his budget. The B2B taxes are on labor costs for repairing and maintaining equipment; business storage and warehousing; and purchase of telecommunications equipment.  These new taxes will increase costs for many businesses in Minnesota, especially industries including printing, manufacturing, agricultural, medical and mining.

Right now, the Governor and legislative leaders are discussing what issues may be included in a special session of the Legislature on September 9.  You might want to contact your legislators, the Governor and legislative leaders to urge them to include repeal of all three business to business sales taxes.
Please call or email Tom Snell at the White Bear Area Chamber if you need the phone number for your Representative. My email  address is tom@whitebearchamber.com and phone number
651 429 8593.

Make it a great week!

Tom Snell, Executive Director
White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce
