Take Advantage of Health Care Tax Credit for Small Businesses

August 19, 2010
Allan Heydorn
Millions of small businesses who provide health insurance to their employees will be eligible for a tax credit when filing 2010 taxes. According to an article in the Chicago Tribune businesses that employ fewer than 25 full-time workers, pay at least 50% of health care costs for workers, and pay an average annual wage of less than $50,000 are eligible. If those are the main requirements the credit certainly should apply to many paving and pavement maintenance businesses and is worth looking into.
