Tax Structure Commission
The Vermont Tax Structure Commission consisted of three Vermonters who were appointed in fall 2018 and delivered their final report in February 2021.
The Vermont Tax Structure Commission was created by Act 11 of 2018 to analyze Vermont’s revenue system, recommend improvements and modernization, and provide a long-term vision for the tax structure. Independent from both the legislative and executive branches of government, the Commission aims to make the tax system more understandable for the public, help policymakers compare the merits of various options, and offer recommendations that can help Vermont’s revenue system work better for Vermonters.
