Causer Reminds Emergency
Responders of State Tax Credit
Active volunteer emergency responders in Cameron, Potter and McKean counties may be eligible for a tax credit worth up to $100 on their 2008 state income tax return, Rep. Martin Causer (R-Turtlepoint) said today.
"Emergency responders provide a great service to our communities each and every day," Causer said. "The tax credit is a small token of appreciation for a job well done."
Under Act 66 of 2008, active members of a volunteer ambulance service or fire ore rescue company can receive a credit of up to $100 against their state personal income tax liability.
Eligibility is based upon how active an individual is within his or her company. Points are awarded to volunteers based on activities such as obtaining certifications, attending training courses and organizational meetings, and through response rates, sleep-in and standby times, holding elected and/or appointed positions, lifetime membership, military leave, and other related administrative and support activities. A volunteer responder must have earned a total of 50 points between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31 of last year to be eligible for the 2008 tax year credit.
