To Honorable Board of Aldermen,
To provide additional tax relief to our National guardsmen and reservists, I recommend that your Board vote to adopt Chapter 59, section 5L, "Deferral of taxes due by member of the Massachusetts National Guard or reservist on active duty outside commonwealth."
Upon acceptance of this section, notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter to the contrary, any taxes due under chapter 59 by a member of the Massachusetts National Guard or reservist or a dependent of a member of the Massachusetts National Guard or reservist shall be deferred while that member is on active service outside the commonwealth and for the next 180 days after that service. No interest or penalties shall be assessed for any period before the expiration of those 180 days.
Respectfully submitted,
Joseph A. Curtatone
Mayor
