Taxes & Fees

The Twin Cities North Chamber of Commerce supports:

Government has a responsibility to provide only those services that businesses and individuals cannot provide for themselves and to levy the lowest level of taxation and fees necessary to provide those services. Therefore, the Twin Cities North Chamber of Commerce will hold government officials at all levels to the highest burden of proof that current and proposed spending is necessary and that the level of taxation they demand is as low as possible.

Governments have a duty to ensure that businesses are not assigned a disproportionate burden of the cost of government services. Therefore, the Twin Cities North Chamber of Commerce expects government officials at every level to tax businesses in proportion to the cost of the services they consume and not disproportionately in an effort to shift the tax burden from those who demand more government services.
