ADA Tax Credit

Who doesn’t want to take advantage of a business tax credit?

As a small business owner myself, I love tax credits, when they apply to my business. I’m excited to share some good news for my fellow small business owners. 

There is a “tax credit” for ADA compliance!

Yes, you read that correctly. There is a “tax credit” for ADA compliance!

To whom does this tax credit apply?

Great question! I thought you’d never ask.

The tax credit is for small businesses. 

Hmmm, how is small business defined in this case?

Under this particular section of the IRS code, small business is defined as either…

1. Revenue of $1 million or less in the previous year OR
2. Have 30 or less full-time employees

What kind of ADA compliance does this tax credit cover?

Another awesome question - thanks for asking.

The ADA tax credit is to help cover the costs for small business to ADA compliant. To simplify, the business needs to remove barriers for employees and customers such as:

1. Readers for the visually impaired.
2. Purchase of adaptive equipment
3. Production of accessible format materials
4. Architectural barrier removal

What’s the catch? 

Well, there is a limit as to how much credit a small business can take.

Here is the breakdown:

1. Total max expenditure in a year - $10,250
2. Tax credit is 50% of the eligible access expenditure
3. Credit does not cover first $250 of expenditures.
4. Max credit allowed is $5,000.

Bottom Line is, small businesses have the potential to fix their non ADA compliant websites and get the tax credit for doing so. 

This is a great incentive to work with professionals to be ADA online compliant and at a much lesser cost than a lawsuit.
