Credit for Multi-State Organizations

Massachusetts’ Single Sales Factor tax apportionment significantly reduces the tax burden for manufacturers and other qualifying companies. The Single Sales Factor adds to the attractive tax environment for businesses in Massachusetts – while many states use a three-factor apportionment formula to determine the net income, creating a greater burden for businesses, Massachusetts only uses a single sales factor apportionment formula.
