HB 2452 Pennsylvania House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of March 4, 1971 (P.L.6, No.2), known as the Tax Reform Code of 1971, in personal income tax, further providing for classes of income; in corporate net income tax, further providing for definitions; and providing for personal health investment tax credit.

This Pennsylvania bill creates a new tax credit for active-duty military personnel, National Guard members, and reservists to encourage fitness spending. It allows these service members to claim up to $600 per year against their state income tax for costs related to sports and fitness activities, such as gym memberships or exercise equipment. The legislation also adds specific rules to the tax code that permit businesses to deduct the cost of providing free or discounted gym memberships to qualified military individuals, provided the discount does not exceed the standard membership price paid by others. These changes apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2023, and are administered by the Department of Revenue.
