The Rural Job Tax Credit Act,
Section 7-2E-1.1 NMSA 1978 provides a credit for eligible rural employers for wages paid to an eligible employee for each qualifying job the employer creates after July 1, 2000. The amount of the rural job tax credit is 6.25% of the first $16,000 in wages paid for the qualifying job in a qualifying period. An eligible employee must occupy the qualified job for at least 48 weeks.
The Rural Job Tax Credit may be claimed for each qualifying job for a maximum of four qualifying periods if the job is performed or based at a location in a tier one area, and two qualifying periods if the job is performed or based at a location in a tier two area.
