About the Program:

An employer is allowed up to a $1,250 tax credit for each qualifying apprentice.

An employer may claim an additional $500 tax credit for apprentices who are under the age of 18 for 90 days of the qualified employment period.

An employer can claim a tax credit for up to ten (10) apprentices annually.
The credit can be applied against any income tax or financial institution excise tax imposed under Chapters 16 or 18 of Title 40.
The tax credit is not refundable, non-transferable, and cannot be carried forward.
The credit cannot be claimed for an individual apprentice for more than four calendar years,
