SB106: Bill Text

This bill creates an income and franchise tax credit for a business that recycles mattresses in this state. The credit is equal to 10 percent of the amount a business pays in the taxable year for machinery and equipment used exclusively to recycle mattresses. If the amount of the credit exceeds the claimant's tax liability, the claimant does not receive a refund, but may claim the amount of the unused credit in subsequent taxable years.

For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
