Employee Retention Tax Credit
 
  • Your business could be eligible for thousands in tax credits. Even if you received PPP funds, your business is still eligible for this credit. Make sure you get with your CPA to review eligibility and filing requirements. The window is closing on this so it's important to look into it now. Please let us know here at the LP Chamber if you need assistance and / or we can refer your business to a local, reputable firm. (There is a big push from out of area. You may have seen - heard the promos. We recommend and can connect you locally.)
