AGENDA
1. Introductions

2. A Conversation with NH Department of Revenue Commissioner, Lindsey Stepp
​There was a lot to unpack from the recently-passed compromise budget, especially for tax policy. Profound changes, such as moving to "single-sales" factor for BPT apportionment, and using a "market-based" nexus definition moving forward are just two of the changes that will impact how and when business taxes are collected. 

And that's just the beginning. Other changes include tax conformity with federal IRS regulations and something called GILTI (Global Intangible Low Tax Income).  And we have all heard about the business tax rates compromise, but what are the thresholds and what does it all mean?

Department of Revenue Commissioner Lindsey Stepp and the Department's tax policy counsel, Shaun Thomas,  will be our guests and will walk us through all the changes. If you have an interest in state tax policy or if you want to know how the changes will impact your business, you will want to be at this session.

3. 2020 BIA Public Policy Priorities
​We will report back on BIA Board decision-making regarding committee work on BIA's 2020 policy priorities document.

4. Adjourn
