The Debt Wiped Bill
Tax debt wiped for fraud victims in Vermont
An act relating to tax debt forgiveness for victims of fraud
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would erase tax bills for people who lost money to fraud, giving them a fresh start.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Victims would get relief from tax debt, but the state would lose revenue, so taxpayers might feel the impact later.
