About the Program:

An employer is allowed up to a $1,000 tax credit for each qualifying apprentice.
An employer can claim a tax credit for up to five (5) apprentices annually, not to exceed $5,000. • 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.
