Introduced Text

Pennsylvania HB2116 amends tax relief provisions for senior citizens, adjusting income limits and property tax rebates.

Pennsylvania HB2116 modifies the state's tax relief provisions for senior citizens by increasing income limits for eligibility based on the Consumer Price Index. It also adjusts the calculation of income for property tax and rent rebates, reducing income by the amount of property taxes paid on the claimant's primary residence. The bill sets a maximum property tax or rent rebate of $500 for eligible claimants and establishes a schedule for property tax rebates based on household income. Additionally, it specifies that claimants receiving public assistance are ineligible for rent rebates.
