The Worcester Regional Research Bureau in May outlined a formula it said could move Worcester towards a more equitable business tax rate, rather than a lower rate for residential property and a higher rate for businesses. WRRB recommended either a unilateral transition, which would freeze the business tax levy, resulting in a gradual shift back to a single rate as the residential tax increases, or a bilateral transition, which would establish a timeline for a single rate.
How has Worcester's dual-tax rate affected your business?
We have to be extra conscious of our overhead costs because of the high tax rate.
We have avoided Worcester as a site for possible expansion or relocation.
We have taken advantage of tax-increment financing to reduce our tax burden.
It doesn't impact us directly.
