Legislative update for PFFASC: repost from PFFASC's Director of Government Relations, John Baker II "S969 has officially been signed by the Governor! This will increase South Carolina Firefighters tax deduction:
Tax deduction
SECTION 1. Section 12-6-1140(6) of the S.C. Code is amended to read:
(6) a subsistence allowance of sixteen dollars a day for federal, state, and local law enforcement officers paid by a political subdivision of this State, the government of this State, or the federal government, for each regular work day in a taxable year and full-time firefighters and emergency medical service personnel may deduct as a subsistence allowance sixteen dollars a day for each regular work day in a taxable year;
An amendment was proposed that would make this deduction take 4 years to make $16/days.
The Professional Firefighters Assocation of SC was against this as soon as the amendment was proposed and was ultimately taken away!
Continuing the grind! 2025 will be great!
Thank you to both sides of the aisle in the House and Senate for getting this done!"
Fantastic legislative work done by your PFFASC board/Leg team and our supporters!
