New Tax Relief Formula Cuts Bills for Low Earners
The proposed plan sets benefits for homeowners earning up to 3500 dollars a year with property tax bills of 300 dollars or more. Commission director James McMichael explains a 2500 dollar earner with a 200 dollar tax bill would compute a relief, applying 3 6 9 and 12 percent to 500 dollar increments after the first 500. The result reduces the 200 dollar bill to 50 dollars, with the state paying 60 percent of the 50 and issuing a 30 dollar deduction as a state income tax relief.
