Provides, in taxable year 2022, an individual or corporate income tax credit, as applicable for an eligible small business, defined in the bill as a (i) (a) pass-through entity that employs fewer than 50 employees and that has no more than $10 million in gross receipts during such taxable year or (b) self-employed individual or (ii) corporation that is at least 51 percent independently owned by one or more United States citizens or legal resident aliens, employs fewer than 50 employees together with affiliates, and has no more than $10 million in gross receipts during the taxable year, and where the individual business owners must control both the management and daily operations of the business.
