Sussman Shank Managing Partner and Tax Group Chair, Heather A. Kmetz, was featured in an opinion published by the Portland Business Journal titled “Will Washington’s newly inked ‘millionaires tax’ law return residents to Oregon?” In it, Kmetz opines why the newly signed Washington “Millionaires Tax” (SB 6346), which imposes a 9.9% tax on earned income over $1 million, is unlikely to send wealthy Washingtonians to Oregon.
