The Property Credit Bill
West Virginia bill lets tax department set property credit rules
Relating to authorizing the Tax Department to promulgate a legislative rule relating to income tax credits for property taxes paid.
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would let West Virginia’s tax department set rules for a credit that lowers income tax based on the property taxes you pay.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Homeowners could see lower income taxes if the department creates a credit, but the bill gives the agency more power to decide who gets the benefit, so public oversight matters now.
