Taxation

The North Dakota Chamber believes appropriate taxes are acceptable to the business community in order to adequately fund the essential services of state and local government. The North Dakota Chamber supports fair and equitable taxation of all businesses operating in North Dakota.

The North Dakota Chamber will:

• Support efforts to reduce property taxes when coupled with safeguards of no significant future increases to other taxes.
• Support efforts to maintain North Dakota's compliance with the streamline sales tax agreement.
• Continue to support reducing the income tax burden on North Dakota businesses.
• Support using tax dollars to assist self-sustainable projects that will increase North Dakota's tax base.
• Oppose unjustified tax and fee increases on businesses.
