The Scholarship Donations Bill
Vermont may end tax credit for scholarship donations
An act relating to opting out of the federal tax credit program for contributions to scholarship granting organizations
Bad for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would stop donors from getting a federal tax credit for giving to scholarship groups, so they would pay more taxes.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Citizens who fund scholarships would lose a tax break, making charitable giving more expensive. The state could collect extra revenue, but donors lose an incentive.
