The Income & Child Bill
Vermont looks to boost earned income and child tax credits
An act relating to the Vermont earned income tax credit and the Vermont child tax credit
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, the bill would increase tax credits for low‑income workers and families with children, giving them more money back on their state tax return.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
More credit means working families keep more of their earnings, helping them pay bills and avoid poverty, so voters should watch this bill as it moves forward.
