Question 2

The Senate Finance Committee is considering a health tax legislative provision. Currently, there is a provision for businesses with 25 or fewer employees that offers significant tax credits – in the form of an Income Tax Credit – for paying a portion of employee medical expenses. Because many businesses are experiencing declining income, legislators are considering changing the Income Tax Credit to a Payroll Tax Credit. Would you support or oppose this change?
