California State Tax Credit Studies

Enterprise Zones

California recognizes 42 Enterprise Zones throughout the state. These zones offer a variety of tax incentives and credits to businesses located within them. San Bernardino, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Sacramento, Long Beach and Santa Ana are just a few of the cities that offer Enterprise Zone credits and incentives.

Hiring and Sales Tax Credits

If your business is located within an Enterprise Zone certain hiring, sales, and use tax credits are available to your organization. The hiring credit provides a credit of over $37,000 for wages paid to certain employees. Sales and use tax credits are available for designated purchases such as manufacturing and processing machinery and office equipment including computers, printers, and faxes. Businesses often do not take advantage of these credits due to the complexity of laws governing Enterprise Zones and the excessive administrative burden documenting them.
