Kentucky Small Businesses

Do you have a Kentucky business with 50 or fewer full-time employees? Have you purchased over $5,000 in equipment or technology? You may be eligible for substantial tax credits just by doing something you probably already are… growing!

The Kentucky Small Business Tax Credit offers between $3,500 and $25,000 per year for small businesses that hire and sustain at least one new job in the last year and purchase at least $5,000 in qualifying equipment or technology.

Some important details regarding the credit include:

  • Most businesses are eligible, and the credits are available to nearly all industries.
  • Businesses must apply for the credit within twenty-four (24) months of the initial qualifying event (either hire date of new position or purchase date of qualifying property)
  • The tax credit applies to the state tax return for the year it was awarded.
  • While the credit is non-refundable, tax credits may be carried forward up to five years.
  • The credits are allocated on a fiscal year basis, so if you qualify, apply early.
