Fiscal Detail and Notes
Providing an income tax credit for employment of qualified student interns applied to compensation paid during the taxable year will reduce General Fund revenue and will reduce revenue sharing starting in fiscal year 2011-12.  This bill includes a one-time appropriation of $33,000 in fiscal year 2011-12 for Maine Revenue Services to add a credit line to the individual, fiduciary and corporate income tax returns to accommodate the new credit.  The bill also schedules the income tax credit to sunset on December 31, 2015.
