SB398,1,2 1An Act to amend 238.15 (1) (L); and to create 238.15 (1) (Lg) of the statutes;
2relating to: qualified new business venture eligibility.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill expands eligibility for certain businesses receiving investments that
qualify the investors for tax credits under the angel and early stage seed investment
tax credit programs administered by the Wisconsin Economic Development
Corporation. Under current law, certain investors may receive tax credits under
those programs for investments in businesses certified by WEDC as “qualified new
business ventures." WEDC may certify a business as a qualified new business
venture if, among other requirements, for taxable years beginning after December
31, 2010, the business has not received more than $8,000,000 in investments that
qualified for tax credits under the programs. The bill raises that threshold to
$12,000,000 for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
