The Benefits | QEZE Tax Reduction Credit

The tax reduction credit is applied to business related income, based upon the business’s structure. The credit is available for a ten-year period. The tax reduction credit may reduce the company’s tax liability to zero, thus eliminating the alternative minimum tax and the fixed dollar minimum.

The tax reduction credit is based on a formula that is a product of the following factors:

  • Percent of employment increase
  • Zone allocation factor
  • The tax factor

  • A new business exclusively in an Empire Zone is able to eliminate its entire NY income tax burden with this credit.
