  • From 2014, only SBI offers small business health insurance tax credits. If you get the credit currently it is essential to make a note of it when making a choice.
  • Your qualification regarding tax credits

    Businesses with less than 25 full-time equivalent workers, making $50,000 in average annually can qualify for a small business health care tax credit.

  • From 2014, the tax credit values 50% of your payment to employee premium costs. Up to 35% for tax-exempt employers. This will lower the charge of providing health coverage.

Businesses that have more than 50 employees under them might have to pay a fee in 2015 if they don't provide their employees with the right coverage.

In 2015,The Employer Shared Responsibility payment is new under the health care law for those employers with more than 50 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees that don't offer minimum health insurance assistance as the new law states.
