If I recall correct Kentucky used to do the same with workers from Tennessee, because TN does not have a income tax either.
“Freedom from income taxes is among New Hampshire’s delights:”
Not for long, wait till the Rats get into office. IMO
Instead of suing Massachusetts, wouldn't New Hampshire be better off simply giving Massachusetts-based companies an incentive to establish a legal presence in New Hampshire so those employees don't have to be paid by a Massachusetts entity? That would eliminate this problem entirely.
On the other hand, people working remote will get a refund on their Kansas City income tax. Go figure.
no standing
1. If a person living in New Hampshire works in Massachusetts, that person is taxed as a MA worker. The law is clear on that. If a person living in NH works for a MA company but never sets foot in MA might be a different story. But how is the MA government supposed to distinguish between the NH-MA commuter and the NH resident working at home if the company is domiciled in MA and the payrolls are processed in MA?
2. It seems to me that the easiest case for NH to make is that these people began working from home in NH after the MA government ordered the businesses in MA to close. It seems that MA has a very weak legal argument here on this basis alone.
“The power to tax is the power to destroy”
I was wondering where this whole issue stood.
I know people affected by this and it would be a good thing for them to get their illegally stolen money back from Mass.
Taxing wages is a form of slavery.
If I exchange 40 hours per week for a payment from my employer, why should government get a share?
We should own 100% of our labor, government should be funded using other taxes, not taxes on wages.

Every few months they confirm the “office of origin” for my wife’s company.
She is assigned to Hartford, CT, but works in MA. Although that is good for taxes, her insurance comes out of CT. This means that our Docs are almost all in CT. I live on the border, so its not a bad thing—in fact in most cases the docs are closer in CT.
Its just weird how all of this stuff works out. It takes a little bit of time to get used to it.
But getting taxed in MA, and having to pay property taxes in NH would be a nightmare. For while NH doesn’t have an income tax, their property taxes will make your hairs curl.
It is a tough case that doesn’t involve sex. The Surpreme Court will deny standing.
On a much smaller scale, I live in the County but have a mailbox in the town ....
As a result I get to pay the town & County taxes (not all that much)
Now if the town or state TAXES you and you can’t vote in both, isn’t that the TRUE FORM of taxation without representation?
The districts are such that my State & Federal Congresscritters do not represent the town AND county....

They should have taken a different approach in my opinion.
Nothing Prevents the AG from going to a Grand Jury in NH and INDICTING the MA Legislature, issuing a Governors Warrant for Fraud, Extortion, Grand Theft, Money Laundering,... and FORCING MA to Deliver them up to Face the FELONY CHARGES and Stand Trial.
