CCH Business Incentives Guide Offers More Explanations, Primary Source Materials

(RIVERWOODS, ILL., July 9, 2008) – Now companies and their legal advisors can find more compliance-oriented explanations on how credits and incentives can reduce tax liability or otherwise impact the bottom line in the Business Incentives Guide from CCH, a Wolters Kluwer business and a leading provider of tax, accounting and audit information, software and services (CCHGroup.com). In addition, primary source materials are now included with the Guide.

“This means that subscribers now have access to the laws, regulations, rulings and cases to support their decisions and ensure they have an authoritative source backing their course of action,” noted CCH Product Manager Angela Darrow.

The Business Incentives Guide provides detailed tax and financial incentive information on each state and discusses the advantages specific to that state.

The Guide provides a wealth of information on state tax credits, such as investment credits, job training, enterprise zones, special credits for manufacturing, agriculture, technology, pollution control and exhaustive coverage of available credits in each state. Importantly, CCH Business Incentives Guide goes beyond credit information to deliver detailed information on relevant state financial incentives, such as state- or locally-funded business loan and grant programs.

Provides Background, Authority for Business Incentives Navigator

The Business Incentives Guide works hand-in-hand with the CCH Business Incentives Navigator to provide valuable background information and primary authority. Users of the Navigator simply select an industry, an incentive category (such as investment, jobs creation, research) and geographic considerations (such as statewide or location-based incentives). Then they choose one or more jurisdictions. The results are instantly provided in chart form and include a description of the incentive, the application procedures and filing requirements plus contact. Links to the Business Incentives Guide then provide CCH in-depth explanations and primary source documents.

“The combination of the two resources makes finding, understanding, documenting and applying for tax and other incentives a simple process, with everything tied together,” Darrow said.
