He will support extending certain expiring tax provisions, including the New Markets Tax Credit and Work Opportunity Tax Credit, while providing disaster tax relief.

Finally, we will also consider the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act, which provides needed certainty for businesses making use of tax provisions that expired in 2017 and 2018, as well as some set to expire this year. I’ve long championed two of these provisions in particular – the New Market Tax Credit and the Work Opportunity Tax Credit. The legislation also provides better and more dependable support for victims of federally-declared disasters.

Neal committed to considering legislation extending expired or expiring tax provisions, highlighting the New Markets Tax Credit and Work Opportunity Tax Credit, and improving disaster tax relief.
