Job Creation Tax Credits

Working with state and federal economic development partners, business owners on Maryland’s Coast have access to targeted incentive programs to start or expand in Worcester County. From farming and fishing to manufacturing, cybersecurity and the arts, these programs incentivize job creation, innovation and expansion.

Maryland provides a $3,000 tax credit per eligible job, and $5,000 if in a revitalization area, for businesses that create new jobs to encourage businesses expanding or relocating to Maryland. 

The credit increases if the new full-time position is filled by a qualified veteran employee. The enhanced credit is equal to $4,000 per job that is filled by a qualified veteran employee or $6,000 per job that is filled by a qualified veteran employee in a revitalization area.
