Bill Summary

Amend The South Carolina Code Of Laws By Enacting The "small Business Emergency Preparedness Income Tax Credit Act" By Adding Section 12-6-3830 So As To Provide An Income Tax Credit For A Small Business That Purchases A Generator.

AI Summary

This bill introduces a new income tax credit for small businesses that purchase generators, aimed at improving emergency preparedness. Specifically, the bill allows businesses with 25 employees or fewer in certain essential sectors (including food sales, home improvement, medical supplies, and fuel providers) to claim a tax credit equal to 100% of the generator's cost, up to a maximum of $10,000. The credit can be carried forward for three years if not fully used in the initial tax year, and will become applicable for income tax years starting after 2024. The legislation is designed to help small businesses maintain operations during potential emergencies by providing financial assistance for backup power equipment, with the tax credit serving as an incentive for businesses to invest in emergency preparedness infrastructure.
