Qualified Jobs Incentive Tax Credit

The Qualified Jobs Incentive Tax Credit rewards Rhode Island businesses that create new full-time jobs meeting state wage standards. Companies receive up to $7,500 per qualified job per year, with credits available for up to 10 years — providing sustained multi-year tax relief for growing employers. Businesses must apply and receive approval from RI Commerce before they can claim the credit. There is no fixed application window; the program is rolling and continuously open. The job creation minimum is 10 new full-time positions, with the threshold varying by industry and company size.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
