There’s another push to end Wisconsin’s personal property tax.
A pair of Republican lawmakers, state Senator Duey Stroebel and state Rep. Dan Knodl, have a new piece of legislation that would end the state’s tax on certain things that businesses buy. Stroebel says the personal property tax is a drain on small businesses, and is one of the business communities most hated taxes. Knodl says there is no reason for the tax to exist. Lawmakers have suggested ending the tax in the past, but it has survived.
