ABOUT THIS CREDIT

to an eligible employee for each qualifying job the employer
creates after July 1, 2000. The amount of the rural job tax
credit is 6.25% of the rst $16,000 in wages paid for the
qualifying job in a qualifying period. An eligible employee
must occupy the qualied job for at least 48 weeks.
The Rural Job Tax Credit may be claimed for each qualify-
ing job for a maximum of four qualifying periods if the job
is performed or based at a location in a tier one area, and
two qualifying periods if the job is performed or based at
a location in a tier two area.
