State Rep. Adam Scanlon hosts meeting on the senior circuit breaker tax credit
State Rep. Adam Scanlon is planning to host an informational meeting at the North Attleborough Council on Aging (204 Elm St, North Attleborough) on March 15 at 10 a.m. with a representative from the Department of Revenue to discuss updates to the senior circuit tax breaker tax credit.
Last year, the state legislature passed legislation that was signed by Gov. Maura Healey that welcomed much-needed reforms to tax laws to provide relief for residents. Scanlon is particularly proud of the positive reforms made to the senior circuit breaker tax credit.
The senior circuit breaker is a refundable state income tax credit that is designed to prevent low to middle-income seniors from paying more than 10 percent of their income to local property tax bills/rent and water/sewer bills. Scanlon had been advocating for improvements to the program through his own sponsored legislation ever since his first day in office. His legislation was included in the omnibus bill that doubled the maximum allowable credit ($2,590 for the 2023 tax year) and mandated that it be indexed to inflation going forward.
