Subject: | Made in Pennsylvania Jobs Package |
I plan to re-introduce the Made in Pennsylvania Jobs Bills – this legislative package will include four bills designed to provide tax incentives to retain, create and stimulate jobs in Pennsylvania. The bills will focus on incentives for manufacturing, construction and renovation, renewable energy and clean energy jobs. I hope you will join me in this effort to put Pennsylvanians back to work. |
Introduced as HB832
Description: | Manufacturing Tax Incentives would provide tax incentives for qualified manufacturing facilities or qualified suppliers that create or retain jobs in Pennsylvania. A qualified manufacturing facility would be permitted to retain 50 percent of the withholding tax from retained jobs for a period of 10 years. A qualified supplier would retain all withholding taxes from new jobs for a period of three years (or for five years if the supplier pays wages equal to or greater than 120 percent of the industry average wage). The total aggregate amount of the retained withholding tax from this program would not be allowed to exceed $35 million per year. (previously HB 2181) |

Description: | Renewable Energy Jobs Income Tax Credit would provide an income tax credit of $2,000 for each renewable-energy job created for the year after the job was created and for the two succeeding years, if it is still filled. (previously HB 2183) |

Introduced as HB831
Description: | Clean Energy Jobs Tax Credit would allow a $500 income tax credit for the creation of “clean energy” jobs created for the taxable year in which the job has been filled for at least one year and for each of the four succeeding taxable years, provided the job is continuously filled during the respective taxable year. Each taxpayer is allowed a credit for up to 350 new clean energy jobs. Virginia passed a version of this legislation in 2010. (previously HB 2184) |
