Originally enacted as part of the <strong>Heroes Earnings Assistance and Relief Tax Act of 2008<\/strong> (The Heart Act), the provision provides a tax credit of 20% to small employers with under 50 employees. The 20% is calculated from the differential amount that an employer would pay while the employee is on active duty. For example, if a reservist gets paid $2,000 per month from their employer, but only $1000 per month while on active duty, an employer would get a tax credit on $1,000 (or $2000) that the employer would pay to maintain the $2,000 per month salary.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amerilawyer.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-558\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-558 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/amerilawyer-blog.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Military.jpg\" alt=\"Military\" width=\"492\" height=\"246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amerilawyer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Military.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.amerilawyer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Military-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.amerilawyer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Military-144x72.jpg 144w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 492px) 100vw, 492px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The credit incentives small businesses to continue paying their employee&#8217;s salary, therefore ensuring that reservists, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">the men and women in the National Guard, and their families, are able to meet their daily needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>If you are a member of Spiegel &amp; Utrera, P.A.\u2019s <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amerilawyer.com\/general_counsel.htm\"><b>General Counsel Club<\/b><\/a><b> and have questions about Tax Credits, call (800) 734-9900 or\u00a0<\/b><b>clubassist@amerilawyer.com<\/b><b> for assistance.
