Legion Protests Vermont Tax Exemption Revisions
The Vermont Department and American Legion oppose changes to veteran property tax exemptions passed this year. The new law ties eligibility to net income and raises the exemption base from 2000 to 6000 in appraised value, increasing the tax base for nearly all eligible veterans while some disabled veterans may lose the exemption. Bennington Sisters seek clarification on net income definitions as applied to the law.
