Updates to the employee retention credit
The Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA), passed on Dec. 27, 2020, included significant extensions and enhancements to the Employee 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. View this on-demand webinar with Baker Tilly tax professionals for an overview on changes to the ERC and what it could mean for you and your business.
