密苏里提议将食品库捐赠者的税收抵免提高到70%, Missouri proposes boosting tax credits for food pantry donors to 70% to combat rising food insecurity.

密苏里州立法者提议扩大食品储藏室捐赠者的税收抵免, 将信用从50%增至70%, 并将国家信用池翻一番至350万美元, Missouri lawmakers are proposing to expand tax credits for food pantry donors, increasing the credit from 50% to 70% and doubling the state’s credit pool to $3.5 million amid rising food costs and declining donations. 该法案由共和党立法者Phil Amato和Jamie Burger提出,旨在解决当前信贷上限造成的限制问题。 The bill, introduced by Republican lawmakers Phil Amato and Jamie Burger, aims to address limitations caused by a current credit cap. 倡导者说,随着需求的增长,这一变化将有助于维持粮食分配。 Advocates say the change would help sustain food distribution as demand grows. 然而,如果密苏里州采取行动取消其所得税(总督Mike Kehoe设定的一个目标),长期可行性仍令人关切。 However, concerns remain about long-term viability if Missouri moves to eliminate its income tax, a goal set by Governor Mike Kehoe. 由于所得税占国家收入的60%以上,且报告警告到2028年可能出现预算短缺,法案的命运可能取决于州长即将出台的预算计划。 With income taxes making up over 60% of state revenue and a report warning of potential budget shortfalls by 2028, the bill’s fate may hinge on the governor’s upcoming budget plan.
