HARTFORD, Conn. (WTIC and AP) - A package of tax changes, including a plan to prevent 110,000 Connecticut commuters with out-of-state jobs from being double-taxed because they’ve been working at home during the pandemic, received final legislative approval on Monday.
The bill also helps welfare recipients with liens on their properties and to steer more funding to communities with non-taxable property.
The package, which already passed in the House of Representatives, cleared the Senate by a bipartisan vote of 28-7 and now awaits Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont’s signature.
Supporters said it was unfair their constituents who work in New York and Massachusetts faced the prospect of having to pay taxes to those state and Connecticut.
