Bill Summary

This bill allows taxpayers with fewer than 20 employees to claim a tax credit if they pay for their employees' health benefits plan premiums for a health benefits plan that is at least as comprehensive as the essential health benefits requirements of the federal Affordable Care Act. A taxpayer will be entitled to a credit up to $250 for each employee enrolled in a single plan and $500 for each employee enrolled in a family plan. The employer may only claim the full amount of the credit if the employer pays the full premiums. The bill provides a reduced credit if the employer pays at least half of the amount of the premium. The credit will also be reduced to account for employees that are not enrolled for the full taxable year.

AI Summary

This bill allows taxpayers with fewer than 20 employees to claim a tax credit if they pay for their employees' health benefits plan premiums, as long as the plan is at least as comprehensive as the essential health benefits requirements of the federal Affordable Care Act. The credit is up to $250 for each employee enrolled in a single plan and $500 for each employee enrolled in a family plan, with the credit reduced if the employer pays less than 100% of the premium. The credit can be claimed against either the New Jersey corporate business tax or the New Jersey gross income tax, but the total credit claimed cannot exceed 50% of the tax liability.
