Executive Summary
PUERTO RICO WAGE TAX CREDIT (SEC. 30a) WOULD BE PERMANENT AT 60% under a proposal in the FY 1998 budget released by the Clinton Administration Feb. 6. Sec. 30a is the new tax code section created in 1996 to house the wage-based credit available to companies operating in Puerto Rico and other U.S. possessions. It was established under the phased-in repeal of the Sec. 936 tax credit enacted by the 104th Congress ("The Tan Sheet" June 17, 1996, p. 9).
