Delaware bill would make overtime pay tax-free for some
An Act To Amend Title 30 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Personal Income Tax.
Good for everyday people ·
This bill would stop the state from taking taxes out of the extra money full-time hourly workers earn for working more than 40 hours a week.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If this bill passes, full-time hourly workers in Delaware would get to keep more of the money they earn for working extra hours. The state would not take income tax from their overtime pay for two years. This could mean more money in their pockets for things like groceries or bills. It is important to know about this bill now because it is still being decided by lawmakers.
