Job Growth Incentive Amendment Act of 2025

The Job Growth Incentive Amendment Act of 2025 provides a tax credit to businesses that create at least 25 new jobs for District residents with wages at or above the average DC yearly wage between 2027 and 2032. The credit equals up to 100% of the business's FICA taxes for those employees and can be claimed for up to ten years if the jobs are retained beyond the first year. This updates the 2010 program, which required 10 jobs, a 120% wage threshold, and a 50% credit rate.
