The bill amends the Tax Reform Code to exempt certain awards and settlements for victims of Nazi persecution from personal income tax.

  • Section 303

    (a.11) The following awards or settlements received in reparation for the seizure, theft, requisition or involuntary conversion of the income of victims of Nazi persecution shall not be subject to tax under this article: (1) Amounts paid as a substitute for taxable income accruing after one of the following: (i) May 30, 1971. (ii) If the right to receive the income was acquired from a decedent by bequest, devise or inheritance or by the decedent's estate, the later of May 30, 1971, or the decedent's date of death. (2) Amounts awarded as legal interest for periods after one of the following: (i) May 30, 1971. (ii) If the right to receive the income was acquired from a decedent by bequest, devise or inheritance or by the decedent's estate, the later of May 30, 1971, or the decedent's date of death.

    This change exempts specific income and legal interest awards related to Nazi persecution from being taxed.

  • Section 303

    (a.12) Awards or settlements received in reparation for the seizure, theft, requisition or involuntary conversion of the property of victims of Nazi persecution do not constitute proceeds from the disposition of property and shall not be subject to tax under this article. No gain is realized on the recovery of involuntarily converted property of victims of Nazi persecution.

    This new provision clarifies that property awards related to Nazi persecution are not taxable and no gain is recognized.
