The Hidden Property Bill
Tax credit boost to help renters with hidden property tax
Increasing the working families' tax credit to reflect the economic impact of property taxes incorporated into rental amounts charged to residential tenants.
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would raise the working families' tax credit to offset the extra property taxes landlords add to rent.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
More money could ease rent burdens for families, but the state will need to fund the credit, possibly raising other taxes.
