My company used to have plants in New Hampshire. Joy it would be to get a job there. It I move there, I get a longer commute and get to pay higher real estate tax and the same high Massachusetts income tax. Sucks.
Absolute worst of both worlds, tax-wise, to live in NH and work in MA.
I still don’t understand how it’s constitutional for one state to tax the income of the resident of another state, REGARDLESS of where they earn their money.
Here in NH, the ownership of the Portsmouth Naval Ship Yard has been in contention for years. NH said they own it, Maine said they own it. Maine has an income tax (8%!), and they were taxing the NH residents who work in the ship yard.
The Portsmouth Naval Yard is in Portsmouth Harbor, the harbor that separates Portsmouth, NH, from Kittery, Maine.
Guess to whom the Supreme Court gave the Ship Yard. Yup, the taxing state of Maine. It just seems that the SCOTUS almost always rules to screw the working man.
