Special Member Ballot: Keep the B&O Tax or Replace it with a Margins Tax?

Most small-business owners consider the B&O tax one of their bigger frustrations. Would replacing it with a Margins Tax simplify things or is it a classic case of the devil you know being better than the one you don’t? NFIB has sent its Washington state membership a special ballot, and if you haven’t voted already, please do so immediately. For more information on the issue, check out this story on the NFIB webpage. Among the links it contains is one to a tax calculator for you to get an estimate on which plan is better for your small business: B&O or Margins? It’s vital you vote.
