Trump received tax credit for middle class taxpayers
– canadianbusiness.com
WASHINGTON – In three consecutive years, Donald Trump has received a property tax credit for people with incomes of less $500,000.
The perk from the New York State School Tax Relief Program, known as STAR, was small — only $302 off of Trump’s tax bill of more than $175,000 for his penthouse apartment in Trump Tower. Normally, the benefit only is given to people who both apply and demonstrate that their incomes are below the half-million-dollar threshold.
But late Tuesday, New York City’s Department of Finance said that it believes Trump received the tax benefit in error. Trump had previously qualified for the state tax break before it was eliminated for upper income taxpayers in 2010. Due to an apparent error by either the city or the state — which jointly oversee the tax break — Trump began receiving the benefit again in 2013. The tax break is a partial exemption from school property taxes.
New York would now like its money back.
“Mr. Trump should not have received this benefit after the income limit law changed, and he should immediately return its value to state taxpayers,” said Amy Spitalnick, a spokeswoman for New York City…
