Chapter 363A - Business Tax: Financial Institutions and Mining
NRS 363A.137 - Payroll tax: Credit for matching employee contributions to college savings trust accounts. [Effective through June 30, 2016.]
1. An employer is entitled to a credit against the excise tax imposed on the employer pursuant to NRS 363A.130 if the employer makes a contribution to a savings trust account in the Nevada College Savings Trust Fund created by NRS 353B.340 and the contribution matches a contribution made to the savings trust account by an employee of the employer.
2. A credit described in subsection 1 must be in an amount equal to 25 percent of the matching contribution but may not exceed $500 per contributing employee per year.
3. A credit described in subsection 1 may not be applied retroactively. If the amount of a credit exceeds the tax liability of an employer for a year, the excess may be applied to the tax liability of the employer for 5 years after the year in which the matching contribution was made. A credit applied pursuant to this subsection must be applied during the earliest year for which the employer has a tax liability. If credits for more than 1 year are available to an employer pursuant to this subsection, the credit from the earliest year must be applied first.
4. An employer claiming a credit pursuant to this section shall maintain any record required by the Department regarding the matching contribution for which the credit is claimed.
5. A contribution made by an employer as described in subsection 1 is the property of the employee whose contribution is being matched and may not be claimed in any manner by the employer.
