Modifies provisions of the Missouri empowerment scholarship accounts program tax credit
HB 568 modifies Missouri's tax credit program for contributions to educational assistance organizations that fund scholarships. It allows taxpayers to claim a 100% tax credit (up to 50% of their state tax liability) for donations made after August 2021, replacing previous rules. The bill sets an annual $75 million cap on total credits, adjusted yearly based on school district aid changes, with credits allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. This directly affects taxpayers who contribute to scholarship programs, enabling them to reduce their state tax bill while supporting student scholarships through designated organizations.
