Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill eliminates the definition of “relative” for the purposes of the state lottery.
The bill modifies the definition of “taxable property” for purposes of tax incremental financing by deleting the reference to personal taxable property located in a tax incremental district.
The bill adds tax withholdings from nonresident members of pass-through entities and deposits made with the Department of Revenue by nonresident entertainers or entertainment corporations towards the end of the computation order for determining liability for the individual and corporate income tax.
The bill eliminates a provision that prorates the economic development surcharge for businesses that begin or cease doing business in Wisconsin during the taxable year based on the number of days they do business in the state.
For further information, see the
