I am a one person design company and made $12,000 last year. I am the only income for me and my wife. $250.00 not only hurts, but I have trouble with coming up with it.

This tax is an enormous stress on small businesses such as mine. Paying the sales tax should be enough remuneration to the State of Ct. for enterprises such as mine.

It's obvious the sole purpose of the origin of this tax was a way to increase revenue for the state, not to regulate businesses. It is long overdue to be repealed.

I dissolved this LLC at great expense becasue after having it, and not even using it during that time, I grew tired, and poor, of paying this ridiculous tax when I wasn't benefitting from it. If I had known it was going to be an ongoing expense....It cost me $$$ to establish the LLC, $250/year for 3 or 4 years, and then some sum to dissolve it. Never even using it! Now, when I am ready to start my next business, I must pay AGAIN! And I am certain that I have lost that name to someone else.

The economy has put a financial strain on all Americans. Raising prices of products and services to offset the rising utility costs will drive customers away. Repealing the Business tax is a small step in the right direction to help us small business owners succeed. I endorse this change

Any way the government can lesson the tax burden for small business & individuals is great. I think the government employees should be paid for production not hourly. Each & every job has a statistic you can track to monitor that persons output & pay them by their output. Watch the slackers cry foul. That is another way to trim the fat by putting the responsibility back on the shoulders of the state & city employees. The ones who cannot cut it fire them. The rest will fly and give great service.

I have been in business two years. As you know starting a business in very strenuous and more times than not, unsuccessful. This store is my dream. I began with too little capital and made many mistakes, but I'm still here, learning and growing. I am a minority business that wants to stay in business. This Business Entity tax is one strain on Small Business that should by eliminated.

I form LLCs for business and real estate clients - they hate the tax! Especially real estate investors who-for asset protection purposes-= should form a separate LLC for each properety owned.

Connecticut is one of the most expensive states in the nation in which to operate a business. The business entity tax is just one more straw on the camel's back. We closed a 2nd business we owned five years ago in part to eliminate the expense this tax imposed redundantly on us.

I work with small business owners all over the state, and the tax and regulatory burden is excessive and getting worse. Business owners need relief, or more of them will leave the state. Note the article in the Hartford Courant last week reporting on a record number of business closings in the state. When these businesses close, the state loses jobs, and tax revenue. It is self-defeating.
