Official Summary

Congressional Research Service summary

Rewarding American Investments to Support Employees Act of 2023 or the RAISE Act of 2023 This bill allows employers a tax credit for 10% of the excess of the aggregate amount of wages paid to specified employees (i.e., continuously-employed employees whose earned wages do not exceed $75,000 in a calendar year) in a taxable year, over the aggregate amount of wages paid to such employees during the immediately preceding calendar year. The amount of such credit may not exceed $500,000 for any employer in any taxable year.

Key Points

Main provisions of the bill

Employers can claim a 10% tax credit on the increase in wages paid to continuously-employed workers earning less than $75,000 per year.
The tax credit is capped at a maximum of $500,000 per employer.
The goal is to encourage employers to raise wages for their lower-income workers.

How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

If passed, this bill would provide financial incentives for employers to increase wages for their lower-income, full-time workers. This could lead to higher incomes and better living standards for millions of Americans. However, the impact may be limited since the credit is capped at a relatively low amount for large employers.
