Budget & Taxes (Sales Tax)

HF 9 is a comprehensive tax reform bill that modifies multiple tax provisions across Minnesota. It directly affects individuals (through changes to income tax brackets and credits), businesses (including data centers losing electricity tax exemptions), and local governments (by eliminating cannabis aid funding). Key provisions include making the research and development tax credit partially refundable, increasing taxes on cannabis products, and removing the sales tax exemption for electricity at data centers. The bill also adjusts property tax exemptions, modifies corporate franchise taxes, and makes technical changes to various tax statutes.
