Tax Credits for Small Businesses

Between 2010 and 2013, businesses with fewer than 25 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees may qualify for tax credits if:

• They contribute to their employees' health insurance
• Their employees' wages average less than $50,000

Depending on the company's size and the average salary, the tax credit is as much as 35% of the employer's costs (25% if the company is tax-exempt), on a sliding scale.
