OnCentive can offer guidance and streamline the capturing of the Georgia Quality Jobs Tax Credit.
Companies in all industries in Georgia can qualify for the Quality Jobs Tax Credit. If the jobs your company creates pay at least 10% above the average wage of the county in which they are located, they are considered “high-paying jobs,” and may qualify for an even higher jobs tax credit.
Don't miss out on the opportunity to grow your business, create jobs, and contribute to Georgia's thriving economy. Discover more about the Georgia Quality Jobs Tax Credit Program and learn how OnCentive can help your business capture these credits by filling out the form.
Once a company qualifies, there is a 7-year window in which each new high-paying job may earn a credit ranging from
$2,500 - $5,000
per new job, per year, for 5 years.
Overview of the Georgia Quality Jobs Tax Credit
To qualify, a business must create at least 50 full-time (working at least 30hr/week) high-paying jobs in a 24-month period.
- For employees hired on or after January 1, 2020 and located in a rural Tier 1 county, only 10 NQJ’s are required within 1 year from date wages first withheld.
- For new quality jobs created on or after January 1, 2020 and located in a rural Tier 2 county, 25 NQJ’s are required within the first year.
- Excess credits may be applied toward withholding liabilities.
The more you pay, the greater the credit.
The Georgia Quality Jobs Tax Credit is an incentive designed to attract and retain businesses that create high-paying jobs in the state. This credit provides tax savings for companies that create jobs paying above-average wages, and the value of the credit is determined based on how the wages of these new jobs compare to the average wage in the county where the business is located.
