The Employee Retention Tax Credit (“ERTC”) was launched as part of the CARES Act to incentivize employers to retain employees during the pandemic by offering a refundable tax credit that can be applied against employment taxes. Subsequent legislation adjusted the rules surrounding employee retention tax credit including allowing companies that received PPP loans to qualify and extending the tax credit through December 31, 2021.
If your company was significantly affected by the pandemic, you may qualify for ERTC. Frazier & Deeter helps companies every step of the ERTC process including qualification, documentation and reconciliation, as well as, following with new regulations.
