Bob Ferguson on Tax Reform

 

 


Surtax on big banks makes state's tax system fairer

The Washington Supreme Court unanimously upheld a new tax on big banks aimed at providing essential services and improving the state's regressive tax system. The 1.2% business and occupation surtax--a tax added on top of other taxes--was passed by the Legislature in 2019. Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson called the ruling "a win for those fighting to make Washington's tax system fairer."
