24 Nov: Cunningham Bill To Allow Companies To Use Beip Grants As Tax Credits Clears Senate

TRENTON – A measure sponsored by Senator Sandra Bolden Cunningham which would allow companies to take certain Business Employment Incentive Program (BEIP) grants to be taken as tax credits against their Corporation Business Tax (CBT) liability was unanimously approved today by the full Senate.

The BEIP program is administered through the State Economic Development Authority, and the incentives offered through the program are designed to help attract new business, thereby creating new jobs for State residents.
