Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to allow a tax credit for the cost of spaying or neutering a dog or cat.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to create a new tax credit for West Virginia residents who spay or neuter their dogs or cats. Specifically, it allows a taxpayer to claim a credit equal to 100 percent of the cost they paid for the procedure, which can be taken in the same year the spaying or neutering occurs, as long as they provide a receipt from a licensed veterinarian as proof of the expense. This aims to incentivize pet owners to sterilize their animals, potentially reducing pet overpopulation.
