Enterprise Zone Credits (EZC)

At RINA, our team of experienced Enterprise Zone credit experts can help ensure that your business receives the maximum amount of tax benefits available under the State of California’s Enterprise Zone (EZ) program.

There are numerous tax breaks available to businesses (whether a corporation, partnership, or sole proprietor) for operating in one of these 39 designated zones. Benefits include:

• A greater first-year write off for purchases of office or manufacturing equipment
• A tax credit equaling up to 50% of a qualifying employee’s wages
• A tax credit for sales tax paid on qualifying equipment
• The ability to carry net losses forward for a longer period of time
• A deduction for interest income received on loans made to EZ businesses.

Our professionals have many years of experience working with businesses in Enterprise Zones—enabling them to obtain hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax refunds.

If your business is operating in an Enterprise Zone but has not taken advantage of these benefits, we can review your tax returns to determine if you can recover taxes paid in the prior years.
