威斯康星州提议扩大其启动税收信贷,以促进创新和投资。 Wisconsin proposes expanding its startup tax credit to boost innovation and investment.

威斯康星州20年前的QNBV税收抵免计划为早期技术创业投资提供25%的税收抵免。 自2005年以来,该计划已带动了8.82亿美元的私人资本,支持了700多家公司,并带动了6 700万美元的2024年投资。 Wisconsin’s 20-year-old QNBV tax credit program, which offers a 25% tax credit for investments in early-stage tech startups, has leveraged $882 million in private capital since 2005, supporting over 700 companies and driving $67 million in 2024 investments. 现在,拟议立法力求更新该方案,将投资上限从1 200万美元提高到2 000万美元,并取消51%的州内雇员居住要求,以应对远程工作和通货膨胀带来的挑战。 Now, proposed legislation seeks to update the program by raising the investment cap from $12 million to $20 million and eliminating a 51% in-state employee residency requirement, aiming to address challenges from remote work and inflation. 该法案得到共和党立法者和两党支持,旨在加强威斯康辛的启动生态系统,吸引更多创新和投资。 The bill, backed by Republican lawmakers and bipartisan support, aims to strengthen Wisconsin’s startup ecosystem and attract more innovation and investment.
