Hire a Veteran…Receive Tax Credits.

by FAPHCC on 12/02/11

As reported previously, President Obama has signed legislation that not only repeals the 3% withholding tax but includes a tax credit of up to $5,600 for hiring veterans who have been looking for work for at least six months and a tax credit of $9,600 for hiring veterans with disabilities. For a detailed description of the tax credits, click here.

Payroll Tax Cut Directly Impacts PHCC Members.

by FAPHCC on 12/02/11

Though both political parties want to extend the payroll tax cut, the debate in Congress and the Administration is more around how to pay for it (offsets in the budget). If Congress fails to extend the cut, it will expire on December 31st of this year and the payroll tax cut will return to 6.2 percent from the temporary 4.2 percent rate. There is also talk on Capitol Hill about reducing the rate to 3.1 percent. Democratic leaders want to pay for an extension by raising taxes on millionaires while Republican leaders have said they would consider extending a freeze on federal salaries to cover the cost. Stay tuned for further developments! 

Victory! Congress Repeals 3% Withholding Tax.

by FAPHCC on 11/30/11

95 – 0 in the Senate and 422 – 0 in the House….now that’s as good as it gets! Congress passed PHCC-supported legislation to repeal the 3% withholding tax, and also added jobs legislation to encourage companies to hire veterans. The repeal action was supported by a very successful PHCC grassroots letter writing campaign. President Obama has already said he will sign the legislation, so we are now awaiting that final step. Thanks and congratulations to all PHCC members who expressed their opinion on this legislation.
