Massachusetts state Representative David Nangle has proposed a property tax on nonprofits with top earning employees.
The bill would require major nonprofits with large budgets to pay a property tax, to ultimately help cities and towns “meet their budgetary needs.”
“The largest nonprofits could and should be the perfect partner to accomplish this,” said Nangle.
If the combined salaries for a nonprofit’s top 5 staff members exceeds $2.5M, then the org will be required to pay a property tax to the state.
