SumIt's strength is Louisiana Incentives, particularly in these programs
  • Enterprise Zone Program
  • Quality Jobs Program
  • Research and Development Transferable Tax Credit
  • Industrial Tax Exemption
  • Restoration Tax Abatement
  • Incumbent Worker Training
In some instances, companies feel that they have the resources and time to handle the filing requirements of these Louisiana Incentive programs internally.  Unfortunately, often times these companies do not receive the full benefits of the programs.  Some of the primary issues that can cause participants to leave money on the table include:
  • Poor Planning
  • Lack of understanding of all program requirements
  • Executed Vendor, Contractor, and Sub-Contractor agreements without consideration of their effects on the information requirements of the sales tax rebate program
  • Ignorance of Louisiana sales and use tax laws by out-of-state vendors and contractors with no resource to assist them
  • Non-Louisiana resident contractors who do not have established relationships with Revenue
  • Insufficient documentation
  • Not certifying or proactively qualifying enough employees
  • Missing filing deadlines for the many required forms and applications

"We have used Jesse for about four years to assist us with our federal and state credits and job training grants. Jesse has expertise in this area and is always looking for new opportunities for our company as we expand into new markets. Jess provides excellent customer service, he is prompt at returning phone calls and often times delivers the final product before the the deadline. He willingly offers assistance in the interim by providing projections of anticipated credits which is helpful in calculating our quarterly tax provision. Most importantly Jesse takes a personal interest in his clients. I would highly recommend Jesse to anyone that is looking for help in his area of expertise.”

SumIt also is experienced in identifying and capturing tax credits and incentives for all states throughout the US. SumIt utilizes a state of the art, up to date credit matrix to identify all available credits for your company.
Please keep in mind that some of the most lucrative incentives available to employers are not actually statutory in nature, but instead, may be made available only by approaching the state and local municipality and asking for them.

In order to spur business development, many areas may make available the following:

  • real and personal property tax abatements
  • employment tax rebates
  • cash grants
  • fast track permitting
  • utility rate reductions
  • tax increment financing
  • industrial development bonds
  • inventory tax exemptions or credits
Obtaining these incentive packages requires intricate knowledge of all program areas and often intense negotiations. Even though the process can be quite complicated, with the help of our experienced professionals, the end results can be well worth the effort.
