To increase fairness, employers should have the ability to offset pass-through credits against taxes on income from other businesses and other years. In addition, more clarity is needed to determine what business expenses qualify as cost of goods sold (COGS) in the limited liability entity (LLET) tax gross profits calculation to make it easier for businesses and tax preparers to comply. To simplify compliance and increase fairness, the Chamber urges the General Assembly to align Kentucky’s COGS definition with that of the COGS definition for federal tax purposes.
