The ADA News (9/15, Garvin) reports that a House bill is proposing “a $25,000 tax credit for businesses, including dental practices, purchasing personal protective equipment to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission.” The ADA voiced its support for HR 7216, the Small Business Personal Protective Equipment Tax Credit Act, in a Sept. 10 letter to leaders of the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Select Revenue Measures ahead of the hearing, Consequences for Inaction on COVID Tax Legislation. “The Association also asked lawmakers to pass several other tax-related bills to assist dental practices in recovering from the economic impact of the pandemic.”
