Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey wants a candy tax -- a proposal that is already facing backlash.
Healey included the candy tax proposal in her $61.5 billion proposed fiscal year 2026 budget; the tax would raise about $25 million in revenue annually.
Maura Healey’s attempt to cap charitable deductions from the Massachusetts state income tax is an attack on non-profit organizations.
Instead of the unlimited deductions they have been allowed to take since 2023, taxpayers will now be limited to $5,000 per person and $10,000 per couple if Healey’s money grab makes it through the state legislature.
