Ridgefield Tax Collector Office Sees Massive December Haul
December 2017 won't be forgotten anytime soon in the tax collector's office.
RIDGEFIELD, CT — December 2017 will not be forgotten anytime soon in the Ridgefield Tax Collector's office. Many property owners wanted to squeeze as much benefit out of expiring federal tax laws before the new year. The office took in $16 million compared to $5 or $6 million in a typical December.
The overall amount of tax revenue collected will remain about the same as many people won't have to pay in January or April, according to the Ridgefield Press.
Under new federal laws state and local taxes only up to $10,000 can be deducted from a federal return.
