What is the General Income Tax Credit for hiring new employees?

The best way to explain the General Income Tax Credit for hiring new employees is by highlighting how the General Income Tax Credit works in the following:

  • If a corporation hires a new employee when it locates its business in the City of Seat Pleasant, a Maryland Focused Enterprise Zone, the corporation would be entitled to a one-time tax credit of $1,500. If the corporation's income tax liability is $1,500 over a one-year period, the tax credit would lower the business tax liability of the corporation to zero over the one-year period and return $1,500 in cash to the corporation's balance statement.
