Program Name: One Maryland Economic Development Tax Credit

Resource Type: State

State: Maryland, Mid-Atlantic

Agency: Program Source: Tax Incentive

Description: Certain businesses that establish or expand a business facility in a priority funding area or as part of a project approved by the Board of Public Works, and that are located in a “distressed” Maryland county, may be entitled to a tax credit for costs related to the new or expanded facility. A “distressed” county has, for the most recent 24-month period, an average rate of unemployment that is 150 percent higher than the statewide average or an average per-capita personal income that is equal to or less than 67 percent of the statewide average, and includes a county (including Baltimore City) that no longer meets one of these requirements, but did so at some time during the preceding 12-months. The credit may be taken against corporate income tax, personal income tax or insurance premiums tax. The same credit may not, however, be applied to more than one tax type.
