Expands the District of Columbia renter tax credit, allowing monthly disbursement options and adjusting eligibility criteria.

The Renter Tax Credit Expansion Amendment Act of 2025 modifies the District of Columbia's tax code to separate property tax credits for homeowners and renters. It introduces a new renters' tax credit, allowing eligible claimants to receive a credit based on the amount of rent paid, up to a specified percentage of their household income. The bill also permits claimants to choose between a lump sum payment or monthly disbursements for credits over $1,200. Additionally, it adjusts the eligibility income threshold for the renter tax credit to 60 percent of the area median income.
