Department of Revenue Services Commissioner's Office

A MESSAGE FROM COMMISSIONER MARK D. BOUGHTON January 2026

I'm pleased to present the Annual Report of Taxes and Fees collected by the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services (DRS) during the 2024-25 fiscal year. Our report provides a comprehensive overview of the revenue DRS collected, thanks to the tireless efforts of our dedicated staff. Our agency reached significant milestones this year as we focused on our most important mission: Achieving the highest level of taxpayer compliance and contributing to Connecticut's fiscal and economic well-being. Our Education and Outreach team continues to set the bar higher with a singular goal in mind: Meeting Connecticut taxpayers where they are. We've expanded upon our popular webinar series and served thousands of residents in the process. Additionally, we've expanded our in- person outreach to libraries and senior centers. We encourage folks to reach out to us if you'd like our expertise in your community. Email DRS.EducationandOutreach@ct.gov to set up a visit. Technology is at the forefront of what we do, and we're proud to offer the very best in customer service via our myconneCT portal. This year, we launched our new eAssistant, which provides 24/7 support for taxpayers to get quick answers to their questions. Accessing information from a database, the eAssistant provides step-by-step instructions on topics like obtaining the status of a refund, how to file state tax returns, and how to make tax payments. It's another example of our commitment to outstanding customer service. Our agency is guided by data-driven decisions. That's why I'm proud of our partnership with the state legislature to produce several reports that we hope will help guide lawmakers in crafting state tax policy. During the past fiscal year, these reports include the state's first-ever tax gap report as well as our recommendations to mitigate the tax gap. Both documents are available on our Statutory Reports page. I hope the information contained in the Annual Report is helpful and informative. Should anyone have questions regarding the report, my staff and I are ready to assist.

Sincerely,

Mark D. Boughton Commissioner, Connecticut Department of Revenue Services

In Connecticut, deposit initiators - including certain distributors and manufacturers - are responsible for collecting a refundable deposit on each beverage container sold within the state under the Connecticut Bottle Bill. For more information on the state bottle bill, see the Bottle Bill FAQ on the DEEP website. Deposit initiators must maintain a special bank account to hold the collected deposits.

CONTROLLING INTEREST TRANSFER TAX Chapter 228b

A tax is imposed on the transfer of a controlling interest in a corporation, partnership, association, trust or other entity, where an entity owns an interest, directly or indirectly, in Connecticut real property with a value of at least $2,000. In a corporation, "controlling interest" means more than 50% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock in the corporation. For all other entities, "controlling interest" is an amount greater than 50% of the capital, profits, or beneficial interest in that entity. See Controlling Interest Tax Information on the DRS website.

CORPORATION BUSINESS TAX Chapter 208

A corporation carrying on or doing business in Connecticut is subject to the Corporation Business Tax. Most corporations in Connecticut must file returns and pay corporation business tax although some corporations are exempt. Corporations must calculate their tax under two alternate methods and remit the higher tax. If a corporation owes less than $250 under both methods, it pays the minimum tax of $250. See Corporation Business Tax Information on the DRS website.

Corporation Business Tax

$1,600,000,000 $1,551,647,724$1,550,000,000 $1,519,011,011 $1,500,000,000 $1,450,000,000 $1,399,096,398Revenue $1,400,000,000

$1,350,000,000 $1,300,000,000

Net Income Base Method

The method under which most Corporation Business Tax revenue is derived is the net income base. Corporations compute their Connecticut net income by starting with federal taxable income and then applying the adjustments allowed or required by Connecticut. For Connecticut net income purposes, corporations must add back certain items deducted in arriving at federal taxable income, such as:

  • Exempt interest income;
  • State and local income taxes;
  • Royalties or interest paid to a related member; and
  • Bonus depreciation.

Certain other deductions are then allowed, such as:

  • Certain dividends;
  • Capital loss carryovers not deducted in computing federal gain; and
  • Deferred cancellation of debt income. Page | 13

Companies that conduct business in multiple states are allowed to apportion their net income based upon the percentage of their sales made in Connecticut. Market-based sourcing rules consider sales of services and most intangible property to be made where the customer is located. Special apportionment rules are provided for certain industries such as financial service companies and broadcasters. Apportioned net operating losses may be carried forward for 30 successive income years. The carryforward period for such losses had been extended from twenty (20) years to thirty (30) years, beginning in 2025. The net operating loss deduction may not exceed 50% of the taxpayer's net income. Connecticut net income is taxed at the rate of 7.5%. Capital Base Method Corporations must also compute their tax under the capital base method. The capital base is the total value of the average capital stock, surplus and undivided profits, and surplus reserves, less the average values of deficits and stockholdings in private corporations. Multi-state corporations multiply their capital base by an apportionment fraction. The capital base is taxed at a rate of 3.1 mils ($0.0031) per dollar. Under the capital base method, a corporation is limited to a maximum tax of $1,000,000. Financial service companies are excluded from the capital base method but are subject to the minimum tax. For income years beginning in 2024, the capital base tax rate is reduced from .0031 to .0026. Corporations are subject to tax on the greater of the net income base method or the capital base method calculations.

If a corporation's calculation of the tax is less than $250 under both two previous methods, it pays a minimum tax, which is currently $250. The majority of corporations pay the minimum tax. Surtax For income years 2018 through 2025, corporations, other than those paying the minimum tax of $250, pay a surtax in an amount equal to 10% of the tax due before credits are applied. Corporations whose gross income is less than $100 million are exempt from the surtax unless they file as part of a combined unitary return. The total amount of surtax reported on income year 2023 returns was $125 million.

Page | 14

Combined Unitary Reporting

Commonly owned corporations that are engaged in a unitary business, where at least one corporation is subject to the Corporation Business Tax, are required to file their Corporation Business Tax returns on a combined unitary basis. Under combined unitary filing, a combined group's tax liability, prior to surtax and credits, cannot exceed the amount calculated on a nexus combined basis by more than $2,500,000. This is referred to as the aggregate maximum tax. If the aggregate maximum tax is less than the tax on the standard combined unitary basis, the group is subject to the aggregate maximum tax. Otherwise, the group is subject to tax on the standard combined unitary basis.

Exemptions

For exemptions, see Corporation Business Tax Information, Exempt Entities, on the DRS website.

Pass-Through Entity Tax Credit

Members of a Pass-Through Entity (PE) were entitled to a credit based upon their respective shares of the PE's tax liability. A corporate member could claim the PE Tax Credit against the Corporation Business tax. For taxable years that began on or after January 1, 2019, the PE Tax Credit is 87.5% of the member's share of the PE Tax. Beginning on or after January 1, 2024, the credit against the corporation business tax for pass-through entity tax paid by an entity on behalf of a corporate member was eliminated.

Overpayments Applied to Estimated Tax Liability

Corporations that overpaid their corporation business tax in 2023 elected either to receive a refund or to apply a portion of the overpayment toward their 2024 estimated tax liability. In total, $841,367,300 was carried forward to 2024 estimated tax.

PENALTY AND INTEREST RECEIPTS

Failure to pay taxes or file tax returns in a timely manner generally results in a penalty to the taxpayer of $50 or 10% of the tax due, whichever is greater. If the taxpayer is subject to a penalty for late payment, the late filing penalty is not applicable. Penalties can also be imposed on tax returns which are not submitted as true, complete, and correct; either through negligence or an intent to evade. The penalty for the late payment of Sales and Use taxes is 15% of the amount due, or $50, whichever is greater. The penalty for failure to pay the use tax with the Connecticut income tax return is 10%, reduced from 15%, to parallel the rate for the income tax. Interest is also charged on any amount of tax due that is not paid on or before the due date or on the underpayment of estimated tax requirements. Interest is charged on a monthly basis at a rate of 1% per month from the due date. Generally, tax payments satisfy penalty first, then interest, then tax, in that order.
