Reducing the personal income tax

HB 225 proposes to lower West Virginia's personal income tax rates for individuals, families, and estates starting January 1, 2025. The bill establishes a new tax schedule with lower percentages for various income brackets and reduces withholding taxes on nonresident income and lottery winnings. Additionally, it allows for a further five percent reduction in tax rates if specific economic criteria are met, while maintaining the ability for future adjustments based on existing laws.
