Financial Incentives

Hiring able workers with disabilities makes financial sense.

Work Opportunity Tax Credits (WOTC)
An employer can claim 40% of all wages paid (up to $6,000) for employees who work 400 hours a year, or 25% of all wages paid for employees who work a minimum of 120 hours a year. The tax credit applies to individuals hired through NH Vocational Rehabilitation, SSI recipients who qualify, and other specified target groups.

On-the-Job Training Programs
Funding is available to employers for specialized skills training.

Small Business Tax Credit
Small businesses that earn $1,000,000 or less in gross receipts, or had 30 or fewer full-time employees in the previous year, are eligible to take an annual tax credit for making their businesses accessible to individuals with disabilities.

Architectural/Transportation Tax Deduction
Businesses may take an annual deduction for expenses incurred to remove physical, structural, and transportation barriers for persons with disabilities.
