The CERTS Tax Exemption Act seeks to ensure that these entities are not burdened with additional taxes on the financial assistance they have received through the CERTS program. By providing tax exemptions, this bill aims to support these transportation service providers and help them recover from the economic challenges brought on by the pandemic.
Overall, the CERTS Tax Exemption Act is designed to provide much-needed relief to transportation service providers who have been struggling due to the COVID-19 pandemic. If passed, this bill could help these entities recover and continue providing essential services to the public.
