Bill overview
This bill creates a tax credit for West Virginia retail food distributors who donate surplus food to nonprofit organizations. It builds upon the existing Good Samaritan Food Donation Act by incentivizing distributors to donate food rather than discarding it. The credit is equal to one-tenth of the original retail sale value of the donated food, and eligible taxpayers can apply it to either their corporate or personal income tax liabilities. The Tax Commissioner will create rules and forms to administer the credit, and the Department of Human Services will distribute information about its availability.
