Overview of the Georgia Jobs Tax Credit
The Georgia Jobs Tax Credit is allowed over a five-year period for each NNJ created above the minimum number required. The average wage of the NNJ created must be above the average wage of the county that has the lowest wage of any Georgia county. The employer must make health-insurance coverage available to each NNJ employee but is not required to pay for any part of the coverage if the employer does not do so for the health insurance provided to existing employees. The credit may be used to offset up to 50% of Georgia income tax liability, and unused credits carry forward for up to 10 years.
