OFFICE OF FISCAL ANALYSIS Legislative Office Building, Room 5200 Hartford, CT 06106 (860) 240-0200 http://www.cga.ct.gov/ofa sHB-6440 AN ACT ESTABLISHING THE JOBSCT TAX REBATE PROGRAM. Primary Analyst: MM 3/31/21 Contributing Analyst(s): CW, EW Reviewer: CW OFA Fiscal Note State Impact: Agency Affected Fund-Effect FY 22 $ FY 23 $ Department of Revenue Services GF - Cost None None Department of Revenue Services GF - Revenue Loss None None Note: GF=General Fund Municipal Impact: None Explanation The bill establishes a tax rebate program for certain industries to be administered by the Department of Economic and Community Development. Participants in the new program may earn rebates against the insurance premiums, corporation business, and pass- through entity taxes for reaching certain job creation targets. The bill sets a $40 million aggregate, annual cap on the program. The bill results in a one-time cost of less than $100,000 in FY 24 to the Department of Revenue Services associated with updates to the online Taxpayer Service Center to allow pass-through entities to claim the rebate on their tax forms (there are currently no credits or rebates allowed against the pass-through entity tax). It is anticipated the Department of Economic and Community Development would not require additional resources to administer the program.
