Local Impact of the Work
Opportunity Tax Credit! |
|
In the April 30 newsletter, we mentioned the impacts of the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) on the State of Florida and how the electronic system saved Florida employers over $200 Million. We have specific regional numbers of the WOTC's impact in Manatee and Sarasota Counties. Overall, 7,868 certifications for a total impact of approximately $18,883,200, based on an average $2,400 tax credit per certification. Since 2010, when the electronic WOTC system launched, there were 4,610 certifications issued in Manatee County and 3,258 certifications issued in Sarasota County. If you would like to learn more about the targeted groups of job seekers, set-up an online account, or learn general information about the WOTC program, visit the Florida WOTC page. |
