Credits for Growing Businesses

Article 3J Tax Credits offer several types of tax credits to eligible taxpayers that undertake qualifying initiatives. These credits may be used to offset up to 50% of the taxpayer’s state income and/or franchise tax liability, and unused credits may be carried forward for up to five years.

Note: Article 3J Tax Credits should not be confused with William S. Lee Tax Credits.  Article 3J is not a revision of the Lee Act; it replaces it.   In general, William S. Lee Credits are repealed for business activities that occur on or after January 1, 2007 and Article 3J Credits take effect for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2007.
