Rep. Doug Gilliam

Maddy summaryThis 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. Veterans must provide documentation to claim the credit, which is nonrefundable (it reduces tax owed but doesn’t create a refund). The credit applies to tax years beginning after 2024 and directly affects South Carolina veterans with VA disability ratings.
