Employee Retention Tax Credit

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (CAA), enacted in December of 2020, provided a number of provisions designed to assist individuals and businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the significant opportunities in the CAA is the extension and enhancement of the Employee Retention Credit (ERC), which was introduced in the CARES Act. Our Employee Retention Credit Guide addresses the key changes in the ERC and how employers can realize these savings.
