Without Tax Break Extension, Dunkin Donuts HQ Could Move from Canton

According to the Boston Globe, the Dunkin’ Donuts headquarters in Canton could be moving if it does not receive a tax break extension.

The company is asking for a five-year tax break of 20 percent on its property taxes.

The tax break would be the last bullet point to Dunkin’s 15-year lease agreement.
