LB 6B: Tax credits for RLWT

You could also call this:

“Getting a tax credit for RLWT paid when selling residential land”

You can get a tax credit if you sell residential land. The credit is equal to the amount of Residential Land Withholding Tax (RLWT) you paid when you sold the land. This tax credit applies to the tax year that matches the income year when you sold the property. The credit helps balance out the RLWT you’ve already paid.
