Provides temporary corporation business tax and gross income tax credits for certain employer-provided child care expenditures.
This bill provides New Jersey employers with a temporary tax credit of 50% (up to $50,000 per year) against corporation business and gross income taxes for costs spent building, renovating, or improving real property used to operate on-site child care centers. The credit directly affects businesses that construct or maintain facilities primarily serving the children of their own employees. To qualify, employers must commit to operating the child care center for 60 consecutive months and enter a binding agreement with the state director to verify expenses and maintain compliance. The credit is available for three calendar years following the bill's effective date and requires documentation to prevent misuse.
