The Breaks Businesses Bill
New Hampshire offers tax breaks for businesses helping families
Creating tax credits for businesses that have on-site child care services and for businesses that provide health care coverage for certain employees.
Good for everyday people ·
This bill would give businesses money back on taxes if they help pay for child care or health insurance for some workers, making these benefits more common.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill is good for working families because it would make it easier for businesses to offer child care and health insurance. If businesses get a tax break for these things, they might be more likely to offer them. This could help parents work knowing their kids are cared for and help more people get health coverage. However, giving tax breaks means the state would collect less tax money, which could affect other state services. It also only helps certain employees with health care benefits, like those working specific hours.
