Allows small employers to claim tax credit for paying certain health benefits plan premiums.
This bill allows small New Jersey businesses with fewer than 20 employees to claim tax credits when they pay for their workers' health insurance premiums. Employers get up to $250 per employee for single coverage or $500 for family coverage if they pay 100% of the premium, with proportional credits for partial payments (50-99%). The health plan must meet federal Affordable Care Act standards for essential benefits. Credits cannot exceed the actual premiums paid and expire after the tax year - no carryover to future years. It applies to both corporate business tax and gross income tax credits.
