Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to exempt personal income tax on overtime pay.
AI Summary
This bill seeks to modify West Virginia's personal income tax law by exempting overtime pay from taxation. Specifically, the bill would insert a new section into the state tax code that declares overtime pay completely tax-free. Overtime pay typically refers to the additional compensation employees receive when they work more than a standard 40-hour work week, often at a rate of 1.5 times their regular hourly wage. By removing taxes on this additional income, the bill aims to provide workers with more take-home pay and potentially provide an incentive for employees who work extra hours. The proposed change would apply to the existing income tax article in West Virginia's state code, creating a straightforward exemption that would benefit workers across various industries who earn overtime compensation.
