Info
With a sweeping tax overhaul taking effect, state policy makers must assess how the new provisions impact their residents and businesses.
The consequences will vary significantly as households in high-cost, high-tax communities will bear the brunt of changes to the state and local tax (SALT) deduction, while low-tax regions could potentially benefit from these changes.
Please join us in Madison, Wisconsin for a luncheon presentation by REMI Economist Peter Evangelakis exploring the REMI Tax-PI model’s ability to measure these impending tax code changes. REMI Tax-PI is the leading tool for estimating the total economic and revenue impacts of policy changes.
