Chapter 02 - National or Regional Headquarters Credit and National or Regional Headquarters Relocation Tax Credit
Section 35-10-02-107

Before the credit is granted, the taxpayer must show that the headquarters will have officers and other high level employees with the support staff normally associated with a headquarters. The support staff for the headquarters is also included in the computation of the credit. The support staff are those full time employees required to assist management and other headquarters personnel to perform functions that are unique to, or required by, the headquarters operation. The classification of support personnel as headquarters employees is dependent on their duties being in direct relationship to the functions of the office or facility and not solely on their physical presence at the location. Employees who are physically present at the location, but whose work is not related to the office functions of the headquarters, such as salesmen, truck drivers, janitors, etc., are not considered headquarters personnel and may not be counted toward the minimum twenty (20) jobs to be created.
