The WOTC targets demographic groups most in need of employment, including those receiving welfare or food stamps, those living in a household where someone is receiving welfare or food stamps, certain veteran groups and exfelons, among others.
Businesses can save up to $9,600.00 with WOTC. The benefit begins to accrue once an eligible employee has worked at least 120 hours and reaches a maximum limit at 400 hours. This is a one-time benefit. Unused credits will carry forward for up to twenty (20) years.
NEW: We now offer new hire screening services where qualified WOTC employees are identified through a 5-minute live screening at the time of hire. We generally incorporate the screening process into the job application and/or onboarding process and once screening is complete, we handle the rest.
Investment tax credits are also available at federal and state levels. These credits help small businesses grow by making it more affordable to expand and improve facilities.
Georgia State: Companies in manufacturing or telecommunications support that have operated in Georgia for at least three years may be eligible to earn investment tax credits for upgrades or expansions.
Federal: The investment credit consists of the rehabilitation, energy, qualifying advanced coal project, qualifying gasification project, and qualifying advanced energy project credits.
A company can recoup up to one half of all training costs for eligible employees up to $1,250.00 per eligible employee, per year, and up to one half of the company’s Georgia income tax liability. Unused credits will carry forward for up to ten (10) years.
Training must be directly related to software, equipment or technology . Eligible costs include, but are not limited to, trainee and trainer wages, conference travel expenses, training class development, training materials and training room equipment. Training for soft skills, HR policies or regulatory requirements is not eligible.
These include Opportunity Zone, Military Zone and Less Developed Census Tract tax credits which allow companies in any of these designated areas to potentially save on their income taxes.
R&D tax credits are available at the federal and state levels. These credits help businesses offset the cost of research and development for certain types of products and solutions.
Georgia State: Brand new companies, existing companies embarking on R&D for the first time, established companies expanding their R&D budget – all are eligible for R&D tax credits. The tax credit earned is a portion of the increase in R&D spending. The credit can be used to offset up to 50 percent of net Georgia income tax liability, after all other credits have been applied.
Federal: You may claim an R&D credit against tax for certain qualified R&D expenditures, and combine the credit as one of the components of the general business credit.
A job credit, available at the state level, helps fuel company expansion by rewarding job creation. In Georgia, job credits provide as much as $4,000 in annual tax savings per job for up to five years. They’re available to businesses (or their headquarters) in seven strategic sectors:
The exact value of the job credits depends on two factors – how many jobs are created, and where. You can view and download a map showing how all Georgia counties and census tracts rank as “economic tiers” based on three factors: unemployment rate, per capita income and percentage of residents whose incomes are below poverty level.
