Abstract
The General Services Administration (GSA), in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, is amending the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) to authorize Withholding Tax Allowance (WTA) and Relocation Income Tax Allowance (RITA) to all individuals who receive relocation allowances paid by the Federal Government. This amendment is in accordance with legislative changes to GSA's statutory authority for taxes on reimbursements for travel, transportation, and relocation expenses as enacted in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020, and as further amended by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021.
