Apart from the maximum credit per employee, there is no limit on the
number of tax credits or the total amount of tax credits an employer may
take. However, they are not refundable and therefore are limited to the
current year’s income tax liability. Unused credits may be carried back one
year or forward 20 years to offset the income tax liability in those years.
Tax Credit Details are for general information only. This is not intended as
tax advice, and you should always consult with your tax professional.
