INDIANA State Incentives
The Economic Development for a Growing Economy (EDGE) program
provides credits that are calculated as a percentage of payroll
tax withholding for net new Indiana jobs; they may be awarded for
up to 10 years. In addition, each year a limited amount of EDGE
credits are available for the retention of jobs in highly competitive
situations.
Venture Capital Investment Tax Credits were established
to improve access to capital to fast growing Indiana companies by
providing individual and corporate investors an additional incentive
to invest in early stage firms. Investors who provide qualified
debt or equity capital to Indiana companies receive a credit against
their Indiana tax liability.
The Hoosier Business Investment Tax Credit (HBITC) program
provides a credit against a company's Indiana tax liability.The
credit amount is based on a company's qualified capital investment
with the final credit amount determined by the Indiana Economic
Development Corporation (IEDC) based on an analysis of the economic
benefits of the proposed investment.
The Certified Technology Parks Program was created as a
tool to support the attraction and growth of high-technology business
in Indiana. Designation as a Certified Tech Park allows for the
local recapture of certain state and local tax revenue that can
be invested in the development of the park.
