Mark Green on Corporations Former Republican Representative (WI-8, 1999-2007)

Reapportion corporate excise tax to favor businesses in TN

Tennessee's current formula uses a combination of sales, property and payroll. It's a strong example of a tax scheme that functioned in the 1980s but today creates a disincentive for businesses to create jobs and invest in our state.

Many of the states with the fastest job growth have changed to a sales-only apportionment formula. My bill brings Tennessee in line with these forward-thinking and growing states with which we regularly compete for capital investment and job growth.

Voted YES on replacing illegal export tax breaks with $140B in new breaks.

Voted YES on Bankruptcy Overhaul requiring partial debt repayment.
