GF - Revenue Loss None None Revenue Serv., Dept. GF - Cost None None Note: GF=General Fund Municipal Impact: None Explanation The bill, which establishes the JobsCT tax rebate program against the insurance premiums, corporation business, and pass-through entity taxes, results in: 1) a General Fund revenue loss of up to $40 million in FY 25 and annually thereafter, and 2) a one-time cost of less than $100,000 in FY 25 to the Department of Revenue Services associated with updates to the online Taxpayer Service Center to allow passthrough entities to claim the credit on their tax forms. It is anticipated the Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD) would not require additional resources to administer the program. DECD currently administers a similar jobs program that provides grants to eligible employers. The Out Years State Impact: Agency Affected Fund-Effect FY 25 $ FY 26 $ FY 27 $ Revenue Serv., Dept.
