Massachusetts Software Tax Could Impact NH Business? I have a Solution!

CONCORD, N.H. —A Massachusetts sales tax applied to computer software design services may affect some New Hampshire businesses with a presence in the state.

The tax took effect July 31. The 6.25 percent sales tax in Massachusetts now applies to “certain services relating to computer system design and to modification, integration, enhancement, installation, or configuration of standardized or prewritten software.”

New Hampshire’s Business and Industry Association said the tax may inadvertently capture New Hampshire businesses with a presence in Massachusetts.

I already provided a great solution.  And it works just as well for New Hampshire companies with a presence in Massachusetts as it does for Massachusetts companies still in the Bay State.  Move that business to New Hampshire.
