Investment tax credits help Georgia businesses grow by making expanding and improving facilities more affordable.
Companies in manufacturing or telecom support that have operated in Georgia for at least three years are eligible to earn investment tax credits for upgrades or expansions. Credit earned amounts to 1% to 8% of qualified capital investments of $50,000 or more.
Investment tax credits can offset up to 50 percent of a company's Georgia corporate income tax liability. If the earned credit exceeds that limit, the unused credit can be carried forward for up to 10 years and applied to future tax liability.
Companies in manufacturing or telecommunications support that have operated in Georgia for at least three years are eligible to earn investment tax credits for upgrades or expansions.
Each Georgia county is assigned to one of four tiers: 1, 2, 3, or 4. The lower the tier number, the higher the tax credit amount. The credit equals 5%, 3%, or 1% of the capital investment. A higher percentage applies to pollution control and recycling equipment.
