What’s in it

This bill provides small businesses with income, franchise, moneys and credits, and gross premiums tax credits for providing child care benefits to employees of the small business. DIVISION I —— SMALL BUSINESS CHILD CARE TAX CREDIT. The bill defines “small business” to mean any enterprise which is located in this state, which is operated for profit and under a single management, and which has either fewer than employees or an annual gross income of less than $4 million computed as the average of the three preceding fiscal years.

Read the full explanation

The child care employee benefits include the following: building or rehabilitating an existing structure at or near the small business as a child care center for employee use, or operating or leasing a child care center for children of employees to attend at or near the small business. The amount of the credit equals the costs to provide the benefit up to $3,000 per employee per year. The aggregate amount of tax credits authorized pursuant to the bill shall not exceed a total of $2 million per fiscal year, and shall be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. The credit is nonrefundable but any excess may be carried forward for up to five tax years. The division applies retroactively to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2021. DIVISION II —— APPROPRIATIONS. The bill makes an appropriation from the taxpayer relief fund to the general fund of the state for fiscal year 2022 in the same amount as the amount of small business child care tax credits allowed in the bill for that fiscal year.
