Employee Retention Tax Credit

The Employee Retention Tax Credit was introduced as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) to support the businesses to retain the employees in the business. There is considerable uncertainty in the market over who qualifies, and eligibility, quantity, and availability of the credit rely on numerous variables.
