New Jersey Angel Investor Tax Credit Program (Updated by S-3189)
Overview:
The updated Angel Investor Tax Credit Program provides generous tax incentives to individuals and corporations that invest in emerging technology startups based in New Jersey. Recent changes increased the credit rate and narrowed business eligibility, enhancing the program’s focus on high-impact startups.
Who It’s For:
Accredited investors—individuals or corporations—seeking to support early-stage New Jersey-based tech businesses while reducing their state tax liabilities.
Four Key Highlights:
-
Increased Credit Amount
– Investors can now claim a 35% credit on qualified investments, or 40% if the startup is minority-/women-owned or located in a low-income area. -
Tighter Business Eligibility
– Eligible startups must now have fewer than 149 employees and operate in tech-driven sectors like biotech, IT, medtech, or clean energy. -
Non-Refundable but Carryforward Eligible
– Credits can’t be refunded, but unused portions can be carried forward to future tax years. -
Annual Program Cap Remains
– The program is capped at $35 million per year statewide, so early application is key for approval.
