INDIANA LEGISLATURE LOOKS TO IMPROVE CHILD CARE TAX CREDIT

Indiana lawmakers are considering legislation to improve child-care access by creating a tax credit in 2023 for employers who help provide those services.  Senate Bill 186 would provide a tax credit to company owners who provide child-care to their employees.  Some small businesses could also qualify by paying for tuition at a center that already exists.  The tax credit would fund up to 50% of expenses, and is intended to improve overall access to child-care for working parents.  The Senate Appropriations committee could vote on the bill as shortly as later this week.
