An Act amending the act of March 4, 1971 (P.L.6, No.2), known as the Tax Reform Code of 1971, in tax credit and tax benefit administration, further providing for definitions and providing for tax credits relating to economic development.
This bill amends Pennsylvania's tax code to create a new economic development tax credit designed to support business growth and infrastructure improvements within the state. To receive this credit, entities must hire only Pennsylvania residents, use 100% materials sourced from within the state or the United States, and comply with prevailing wage laws. The Department of Community and Economic Development is tasked with auditing recipients annually to ensure they meet these requirements, and any entity found non-compliant must repay the full amount of the tax credit.
