That sentence, in plain words

The rate of 25 percent is taken out. The rate of 40 percent is put in. A small business gets 50 percent.

What this is about

The rate sets how much of the cost the credit covers. A higher rate means a bigger credit. Small firms get the better rate.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
