The Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA), passed on Dec. 27, 2020, included significant extensions and enhancements to the Employer Retention Credit (ERC). The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act had previously disallowed recipients of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan to take advantage of this credit. With the passage of the CAA, businesses can now potentially benefit from both the ERC and PPP loan. New and important guidance on the ERC continues to be released regularly. We invite you to join Baker Tilly’s tax professionals for a discussion on changes to the ERC and what it could mean for you and your business. Learning objectives include: Understand the CAA changes and how they may impact your business Uncover eligibility requirements including employee counts and qualifying wages Review deadlines and next steps Who should attend: Business owners, CFOs, tax directors, vice presidents of tax, tax professionals and other financial executives  Information about CPE eligibility: There are no prerequisites for this event, and advance preparation is not required.
