The National Tax Credit Business Model:

There are thousands of Federal & State tax credits, green incentives and carbon credits available that could impact the amount of tax-savings a company may be eligible to receive. Some tax credits such as the Research and Development credit may ‘piggy-back’ onto others resulting in automatic eligibility into other various programs. We manage each client's tax credit portfolio so that each program is maximized.

We have developed our own internal technology to ensure the proper implementation of each client's tax credit opportunity. Our best-in-class technology system electronically captures essential tax credit data during the hiring process and tracks every credit throughout the verification process while screening for any additional tax credits that may be relevant.

NTC provides the following services:

• Identifies, applies for, processes, and administers business tax credit incentives
• Provides clients with dollar-for-dollar credits against tax liabilities
• Guarantees federal and state government compliance
• Makes federal and state employment credits profitable for clients
• Reduces costs and eliminates financial risk with our contingency fee based program
• Leverages technology with clients’ business practices for easy implementation
• Seamlessly integrates with HR and payroll functions

The Process:

According to the General Accounting Office, only 1 of 800 businesses claim tax credits for which the business is eligible. In the small to medium size business category (revenues not exceeding 50 million annually), $4.2 billion in federal and state level tax credits go unclaimed every year. When you turn to NTC to recover and maximize your capital, we go through an in-depth process to ensure you receive every credit you deserve.

• We review every new hire to determine their eligibility for any Federal or State tax credits.
  
  
• We work with you to utilize our process, enabling your staff and hiring managers to maximize tax credit opportunities.
  
  
• We train hiring managers at each location to ensure everyone understands the value of the program and how to carry out the 2-3 minute process.
  
  
• We send reports to corporate management on credits available with a status on paperwork and information received from your locations, so you know if you are about to miss a deadline.
  
  
• We send completed forms to you for new hire signature and subsequently audit the paperwork and submit it for certification on your behalf.
  
  
• We track the information through the certification process and once the employee is certified, we provide the necessary IRS forms for you to file with your taxes.

• Point of hire location information

Our professional team will:

The Technology

NTC owns and operates proprietary software to record and track the existing tax opportunities. Employee data, such as location, date of hire, age, veteran status, and employment industry, is used to determine tax credit eligibility. Based on the information the applicant provides when answering a small set of questions, hiring managers can immediately determine whether or not the individual qualifies for a credit, even before an offer is made.

This software-as-a-service (SaaS) application is built using the latest XML standards and integrates easily with existing applicant tracking, payroll or HRIS/HRMS systems, producing a streamlined workflow for your staff.

The Programs

Billions of dollars are forfeited every year because business leaders and managers do not have the means to track, research and take advantage of the available government incentives. Our due diligence in tracking employer business incentives is focused on the following key categories:

• Work Opportunity Tax Credit
• Employee FICA Tip Credits
• Geographic Based Credits
• Disaster Relief Tax Credit
• Indian Employment Credit
• Research and Development Credit
• Cost Segregation
• State Tax and Incentive Credits
  

Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC)

The Work Opportunity Tax Credit is a federal hiring incentive that provides a tax credit of up to $9,600 per qualified new hire. The qualifications are based on employment/financial status criteria.  Programs include new hires who have been on government assistance, veterans, ex-felons and qualified summer youth, to name only a few.

Employee FICA Tip Credits

Under IRS regulations, employers in the food and beverage industry may be eligible for a credit for social security and medicare taxes paid on their employees' tip income.

Geographic Based Credits

Periodically, the federal government designates certain economically depressed areas as tax advantage areas. If your business is located in one of these areas and you employ individuals living in the same area, you can earn credits against your federal tax liability.

For example, Empowerment Zone (EZ) credits have provided up to $3,000 per qualified employee per year. In addition, the businesses located within the zones are entitled to increased tax expensing of equipment purchases and tax incentives for environmental remediation.

The Renewal Communities (RC) credit provides up to $1,500 per qualified employee per year.

Disaster Relief Tax Credit

These credits have existed to help businesses rebuild and to help individuals rejoin the work force in the aftermath of events such as Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Wilma and similar natural disasters. The federal government has joined with state and local governments to insure the rebuilding of infrastructures and physical facilities impacted as a result of the aforementioned disasters.

When a disaster credit is in effect, employers can earn up to $2,400 in tax credits per qualifying new employee.

Indian Employment Credit

The Indian Employment Credit provides businesses with tax credits which, unlike tax deductions, directly offset an organization's federal tax burden. This provides an incentive to hire and retain individuals who are enrolled members of an Indian tribe (or the spouse of an enrolled member) who live and work on or near an Indian Reservation.

Research and Development Credit

The Research & Development Tax Credit (R&D) offers tax incentives and expensing of costs for investments, such as research efforts of qualifying companies to develop new or improved products/processes in their businesses. This credit is not just for the more technical companies as it is often thought to be. Regulations of the IRS in December of 2003, which are retroactive, have made it easier to qualify. In addition, many states also offer R&D credits.

The 'Success-Fee' Opportunity:

On a risk-free, contingency basis, NTC will ascertain and explore all the tax credit and incentives programs that apply to your company. If there are no programs which currently apply and we are not able to retrieve tax credits for you, you owe us nothing, and you can be satisfied knowing that all due diligence has been applied and you are not missing out on tax relief to which you are entitled.

To accomplish this, we will relieve your company of administrative confusion by working with you to retrieve all the relevant documentation needed. We will take care of the applications and submissions  process and we will follow up on the progress of your request.

This dedicated, professional service will give you the answers you need without the high cost of hiring a tax professional who will require payment for services regardless of whether or not you are eligible for tax credits.
