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 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.
Once the call is open: Read the call documents carefully. Contact the Host Institution and gather all the details you need for the application. Start writing your proposal. Familiarise yourself with the EU submission service. Submit your proposal as early as possible.
Going forward, the only way to apply for the ERC is to file an amended Form 941X (Quarterly Federal Payroll Tax Return) for the quarters during which the company was an eligible employer.
On Form 1120S, businesses can report the ERC by including it as a credit on Line 13f (“Credits”) of Schedule K, Form 1120S. Ensure accurate documentation of qualified wages and related expenses to support the credit claim.
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.
Because the ERC is considered an income-related grant under IAS 20, an entity may elect to present the income in one of two ways: (1) gross as a grant or other income item, or (2) net as a deduction from the expense category in which the reporting entity reports employment taxes (typically employee compensation).
Amount per quarter: Each employee has $10,000 in qualifying wages per quarter, and 70% of this amount is $7,000 per quarter. Amount per employee: Since Company A is eligible for the ERC for all the available quarters, each employee's quarterly credit is multiplied by 3, which equals $21,000 per employee for the year.
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).
