What MA founders need to know
Massachusetts imposes a corporate excise tax with both an income measure and a non-income (net worth) measure.
MA has a 4% surtax on personal income above $1M that affects founders and equity holders on liquidity events.
Biotech and R&D-heavy companies should evaluate both federal and MA R&D tax credits, which can be substantial.
