发帖数: 29846 | 1 CA Promised Tax Breaks in 2008, Now Fining Investors Who Took Advantage
Back in 2008, the government of California promised substantial tax breaks
to businesses that invested in certain types of business. After those tax
breaks were struck down by a court, however, the Franchise Tax Board is
clawing back all of that money from businesses, which in some cases may
amount to up to $250,000.
“They relied on California law as it was written,” said Sen. Ted Lieu (D-
Redondo Beach), that they would get a tax break.” But now those
businessowners are being penalized – up to 2,000 of them. The total amount
could be $210 million. “They obviously can’t go backwards 5 years in time
and change their investment or change what they did,” said Lieu. Investors
worried about being targeted have said they do not want to talk to local
media, afraid that the Franchise Tax Board will single them out. |
