In case you missed it: State Sen. Andreas Borgeas (RFresno) revved up a push to deem Paycheck Protection loans tax-free for purposes of State of California taxes. In his view, an added tax hit on coronavirus relief undercuts the purpose of the forgivable loans for struggling small businesses to cover payroll, rent, utilities and other key expenses while they were either partially or fully shutdown under Newsom’s orders.... And, more importantly, Borgeas is concerned about the perception of California skimming small business relief funds amid a pandemic all in the hopes of padding the state’s coffers. Borgeas is in the midst of introducing a new bill to establish full deductibility for coronavirus relief loans issued to small businesses, amending a different tax bill Senate Bill 265 to address the Paycheck Protection tax liability issue. http://sjvsun.com//received-a-ppp-loan-buckle-up-for-sur/
