In Fayette County, Governor Shapiro Highlights New Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit that Will Cut Costs, Deliver $193 Million in Tax Relief for 940,000 Pennsylvanians

Governor Josh Shapiro, alongside legislative and community leaders, visited Fayette County Community Action Agency (FCCAA) to highlight how the new Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit (WPTC) - created in the 2025-26 budget signed by the Governor this month - will deliver $193 million in tax relief to 940,000 working Pennsylvanians beginning next tax season.

Modeled after the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), the new state-level credit equals 10 percent of the federal credit. Anyone who qualifies for the federal EITC will now automatically qualify to receive both credits, helping reduce taxes owed and put more money back in hardworking Pennsylvanians' pockets.

The Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit is the seventh tax cut signed into law by Governor Shapiro in just three years and reflects his continued commitment to cutting taxes and lowering costs for working families.

"From day one, I've made cutting taxes and lowering costs for working families a top priority," said Governor Shapiro. "Pennsylvanians are feeling the impact of rising costs, and while federal policies have only made that harder, my Administration is focused on cutting taxes and helping working families get ahead. This new Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit will put up to $805 back in the pockets of hardworking Pennsylvanians, giving them more resources to support their families. "

Speakers Include:
KIM HAWK, CEO, FCCAA
GOVERNOR JOSH SHAPIRO
ROSE COMPORT
FAYETTE CO COMMISSIONER SCOTT DUNN
SENATOR PATRICK STEFANO
