MONTGOMERY, Ala. - The Alabama State Senate on Thursday voted along party lines to give final approval to legislation slowing cities' ability to pass local occupational taxes.
The Senate debated the bill for more than three hours before passing it on a 27-7 vote. It now goes to Gov. Kay Ivey, whose office previously signaled support for it.
"It does not unduly restrict occupational taxes," Chambliss said on the Senate floor. "It simply gives those subjected to the tax a vote."

Money Matters: Common tax questions
Nevertheless, different clients often have the same questions over and over. Here are a few of the most common to consider:
If I take a certain deduction, will I be audited? The IRS uses a discriminate information function (DIF) system to determine which returns to audit. If the information on the return doesn't make sense, the return will be flagged. The return then may or may not be chosen for audit. If a deduction is legitimate and supported by evidence, then there should be no worries as to whether or not an audit is on the horizon.

"It is outrageous that a corporate executive in America can get unlimited, special tax privileges on hundreds of millions of dollars in savings, while an ordinary worker can only get tax deferment of up to $19,500 on a 401(k)," Sanders said in a statement released by his Senate office.

Baker cool to House transportation tax increase - The Boston Globe
A day after Massachusetts House leaders released a transportation funding plan that raises taxes and fees, Governor Charlie Baker expressed dismay about the bill and defended his own transportation financing plan. He argued his proposal would result in greater investment in the MBTA and other transportation projects, without raising taxes on gasoline or businesses.
Democratic House leaders on Wednesday unveiled two transportation bills: one raising up to $622 million a year through a combination of increases to the gas tax, Uber and Lyft fees, and corporate taxes; another authorizing $14.5 billion in borrowing to fund projects including rail expansions, transit modernization, and various road and bridge improvements.
