repealing the business enterprise tax.
HB 1629 repeals New Hampshire's business enterprise tax (codified as RSA 77-E) and removes all references to it from state tax laws. The bill eliminates this tax from statutes governing tax reporting requirements, penalties for late filing, tax credit calculations, and funding for the education trust fund. Businesses that previously paid the business enterprise tax will no longer be subject to this specific tax code. The legislation makes technical changes to remove outdated references without altering other tax rates or creating new obligations.
