* The Budget Support Act as passed by the Council will lead to a 17% reduction in the District’s business franchise tax – from 9.975% to 8.25%. On January 1, 2015 the rate will drop to 9.4%. Beginning January 1, 2016, additional decreases in the rate (in 0.2% to 0.25% increments) will be triggered based on revenue growth realized after each fiscal year’s budget is approved. The projected annual franchise tax savings shown in the chart above are based upon a fully implemented decrease in the business franchise tax rate to 8.25%, which is anticipated in the next 3 to 5 years.
