California state tax relief

The California Competes Tax Credit (CCTC) is a discretionary state tax incentive available to businesses that locate, expand or remain in California. If your business is creating well- paying jobs in California, you may qualify to receive this valuable tax credit against your company’s California tax bill. The amount of the tax credit award depends on each company’s unique set of factors, focused primarily on future capital investment, employment growth and economic impact to the state of California.

California Competes credits have been as low as $20,000 and as high as $6 million. All applicants compete against one another for a limited pool of funds with a special 25% allotment for small businesses (defined as a business with $2 million or less of gross receipts). Therefore, this program is applicable to businesses of all sizes.

Lakeview Petroleum

Although we had some understanding of the tax incentives available through the Yuba-Sutter Enterprise Zone, we had never thoroughly pursued it under the impression that our Company was too small to benefit. That changed when we met the folks at Carrazco who guided us to take full advantage of the benefits we were entitled. Carrazco's business philosophy of ”No Results, No Fee” made it so we had nothing to lose and everything to gain. The process was efficiently streamlined to make things simple...the results, on the other hand, were extraordinary!
