Targeting economically distressed areas throughout California, the program provides special incentives designed to encourage business investment and promote the creation of new jobs. The purpose of the program is to stimulate economic development by providing tax incentives to businesses enabling private sector market forces to revive the local economy. Each Enterprise Zone is administered by its local jurisdiction working with local agencies and business groups to promote economic growth through business expansion, attraction and retention, while providing an environment to nurture business creation as well.\n\nEnterprise Zone companies are eligible for substantial tax credits and benefits including:\n\n* Hiring Credits - Firms can earn $37,440 or more in state tax credits for each qualified employee hired;\n\n* Up to 100% Net Operating Loss (NOL) carry-forward. NOL may be carried forward 15 years under most circumstances;\n\n* Corporations can earn sales tax credits on purchases of up to $20 million per year of qualified machinery and machinery parts;\n\n* Up-front expensing of certain depreciable property.
