JANESVILLE, WI – Companies with a fiscal year start date of August 1, 2011 or after can claim tax credits for contracted work to qualified non-profit Community Rehabilitation Programs (CRPs). This legislation allows businesses that have tax liabilities in Wisconsin to deduct 5% of the value of the labor portion of their contracts with CRPs up to a maximum of $25,000 per year, per CRP. These businesses will be allowed to carry forward any unused portion of their credits for a period of five yearsKANDU Industries is an example of a qualified non-profit CRP. “We think this will give us an edge to gain some of the projects that were going to other countries,” says Amy Golackson, Sales Manager at KANDU Industries in Janesville.

This will create an incentive for businesses to outsource manufacturing and other commercial services to CRPs, which will increase work opportunities for people with disabilities. The savings created by the tax credit may help some companies choose to outsource some processes so they can refocus their employees on higher-return core competency activities.

Companies interested in learning more about this new tax credit should consult their tax preparation expert.

For more information on using KANDU’s contracted labor services, please contact Amy Golackson, Sales Manager, at 755-4123, extension 330.
