Tax Credits for Employers of Military Reservists

This act introduces new tax credits for small and medium-sized businesses that employ members of the National Guard or military reserves. The goal is to encourage employers to support individuals serving in the armed forces, potentially leading to greater job stability for reservists and financial benefits for businesses.
Key points
Businesses employing reservists can receive a tax credit equal to 40% of the wages paid to them.
The maximum credit per reservist ranges from $1,000 to $10,000, depending on the number of days of uniformed service in the year.
The credit is available to employers with an average of fewer than 500 employees and who meet specific financial criteria.
The changes apply to wages paid in tax years beginning after December 31, 2023.
