The 2024 ERC's Starting Grants results The funding is part of the EU Horizon Europe programme. This competition attracted 3,474 proposals and had a 14.2% success rate overall across all disciplines. Female researchers were awarded 44% of the grants, compared with 43% in 2023 and 39% in 2022.
Credit amount The total ERC benefit per employee can be up to $26,000 ($5,000 in 2020 and $7,000 per quarter in 2021).
The average contingency rate falls between 20-40%, with most lawyers charging around 33% to 35% of the total amount recovered in a case. The exact percentage can vary depending on the complexity of the case, the lawyer's experience, and the stage at which the case is resolved.
For 2021, the employee retention credit (ERC) is a quarterly tax credit against the employer's share of certain payroll taxes. The tax credit is 70% of the first $10,000 in wages per employee in each quarter of 2021. That means this credit is worth up to $7,000 per quarter and up to $28,000 per year, for each employee.
The Most Common Cases that Do Not Operate on Contingency Fees Criminal defense cases. Divorce attorneys. Family law attorneys. Domestic relations cases. Business-related cases. Contracts and closings.
Some businesses that submitted claims for the Employee Retention Tax Credit have reported waiting anywhere from four to twelve months for their ERC refunds. In some cases, the delay in receiving their expected refund has been even longer.
