What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under this bill, generally, a business that hires new full-time employees may

begin receive a tax benefit, if it applies to the Department of Commerce (Commerce)

to receive that benefit. Under the bill, an eligible business may, rather than submit

the amount as withholding taxes, retain an amount that is equal to the increase in

the business's payroll attributable to new employees with full-time jobs. A business

is only eligible for the tax benefits if it employs no more than ten employees during

the year. Under the bill, the Department of Revenue (DOR) considers all amounts

retained as tax benefits to be amounts submitted to DOR as withholding taxes.
