Allows corporation business tax and gross income tax credits to businesses employing certain persons with developmental disabilities.
This New Jersey bill allows businesses to receive tax credits for employing individuals with developmental disabilities, including those with intellectual disabilities, autism, cerebral palsy, and other neurological conditions. The credits apply to both corporation business tax and gross income tax, providing up to $2,400 per employee based on 40% of the first $6,000 in wages paid annually. The legislation includes safeguards to prevent abuse, such as denying credits if a company replaces existing employees solely to qualify for the benefit or if wages are already claimed under other tax programs. Businesses must apply for these credits through the state director, who will determine eligibility and ensure the total credits do not exceed 50% of the taxpayer's liability.
