An Act to establish an employer-provided childcare tax credit pilot program

This bill establishes a pilot program offering Massachusetts-based employers a tax credit equal to 25% of their annual spending on licensed childcare services for employees, capped at $750,000 per employer per year. It applies to corporate entities with their principal business in Massachusetts, creating two parallel credit structures under Chapters 62 and 63 of the General Laws. The program requires the Executive Office of Economic Development to develop technical assistance for smaller businesses by November 2025 and conduct annual studies on participation, impact, and cost projections. Funded up to $10 million, the pilot expires on June 30, 2027, with findings reported to relevant legislative committees.
