ADA Tax Credit

Have you spent money to equip your business with ADA-compliant items, such as an electric table? You could be eligible to receive a tax credit. What does this credit cover? You can use the Section 44: Disabled Access Credit to offset the cost of:

• Equipment used in your facility
• Improving accessibility
• Providing accessible communication formats (Braille, large print and audio tapes for the visual and hearing impaired)
• Offering a sign-language interpreter or reader

“The tax credit is available to businesses that have total revenues of $1,000,000 or less in the previous tax year or 30 or fewer full-time employees. This credit can cover 50% of the eligible access expenditures in a year up to $10,250 (maximum credit of $5000). The tax credit can be used to offset the cost of undertaking barrier removal and alterations to improve accessibility; providing accessible formats such as Braille, large print and audio tape; making available a sign language interpreter or a reader for customers or employees, and for purchasing certain adaptive equipment.”
