This application is free, it’s easy to apply and we want great companies that are expanding to receive these valuable tax credits.”
GO-Biz is awarding over $200 million in tax credits in fiscal year 2017-18. The next CCTC application period starts July 24, 2017. Businesses interested in applying can register to attend any of the workshops and receive helpful information from GO-Biz staff. GO-Biz has also partnered with several organizations to help promote the workshops and encourage local businesses to attend the events.
