AI Summary

This bill provides certain tax credits for the charitable donation of apparently wholesome food. Specifically, it amends the Massachusetts General Laws to allow individual taxpayers and business corporations to claim a 15% tax credit on the fair market value of any charitable contributions of apparently wholesome food from their trade or business. Apparently wholesome food is defined as food that meets all quality and labeling standards set by federal, state, and local laws and regulations, even if the food may not be readily marketable due to factors like appearance, age, or surplus. The bill allows any excess credit to be treated as an overpayment and refunded to the taxpayer or corporation.
