This bill creates a South Carolina income tax credit for disabled veterans. It allows veterans with a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs disability rating to reduce their state income tax liability by a percentage equal to their disability rating (e.g., a 50% rating would reduce tax by 50% of their tax bill), capped at $5,000 annually.
