Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich recently asked the U.S. Supreme Court for permission to file suit against the State of California over the $800 minimum business tax imposed on investors in certain LLCs. Brnovich contends that the California minimum tax, and California’s related collection efforts when investors or businesses do not pay, is illegal because the investors have “purely passive investments in California companies.” In addition, since the $800 minimum tax is deductible on Arizona tax returns, the California practice is costing Arizona more than $484,000 annually.
