Governor Ned Lamont will include a proposal in his budget to eliminate a $250 biannual fee businesses are required to pay every other year, along with certain filing requirements. Bethel state Representative Raghib-Allie Brennan also proposed a bill this session to eliminate the business entity tax. Lamont hopes these proposals send a powerful message to entrepreneurs, small business owners and CEOs alike: that Connecticut state government wants to be a partner, not a roadblock.
