Senator Proposes Tax Credit for
Telecommuters
By CNET News.com
U.S. senator today rolled out a new proposal that would give
telecommuters a tax credit.
Sen. Rick Santorum's bill, the Telework Tax Incentive Act, will
provide a $500 tax credit for every worker who telecommutes at least 75
days per year. The credit will go to whoever--either the employee or
employer--pays for setting up the home office.
"The purpose of my legislation is to provide an incentive to encourage
more employers to consider telecommuting for their employees,"
Santorum, R-Pa., said in a statement. He announced the proposal at the
International Telework Association & Council's (ITAC) Telework
America Action Summit.
