The fiscal year is designated by the calendar year in which it ends; for example, fiscal year 2006 begins on October 1, 2005 and ends on September 30, 2006.
A. There shall be a credit against any Louisiana income tax for qualified donations made to an eligible maternal wellness center. The credit shall be an amount equal to fifty percent of the donation. Any credit shall be taken as a credit against the income tax for the taxable year in which the donation is made. The total amount of the credits taken by any taxpayer during any taxable year shall not exceed fifty percent of the taxpayer’s tax liability.
