UNIONTOWN – Governor Josh Shapiro also highlighedt how the new Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit (WPTC) will deliver $193 million in tax relief to 940,000 working Pennsylvanians beginning next tax season. Modeled after the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), the new state-level credit equals 10 percent of the federal credit. Anyone who qualifies for the federal EITC will now automatically qualify to receive both credits, helping reduce taxes owed and put more money back in hardworking Pennsylvanians’ pockets.
