NIH funding gets refundable tax credit in Minnesota
Receipt of National Institutes of Health funding income tax refundable credit authorization
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, people or groups that receive NIH money could claim a refundable tax credit, lowering their taxes or getting cash back.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
The bill could help research labs keep more money for science, but it also means the state loses tax revenue that could have funded other services.
