The High Wage Bill
High-wage job tax credit dates under review in New Mexico
High-wage Job Tax Credit Dates
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, the bill would set dates for a tax credit that rewards companies hiring high‑pay workers, affecting who gets the credit and when.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Citizens should watch because the credit could shift tax revenue away from schools or services, while helping big firms save money on payroll taxes.
