The Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC) was originally established by the CARES Act in March 2020. Eligible businesses can receive direct refund payments of up to $26,000 p W2 employee. Even if your business received PPP funds or didn't experience a decline in revenue, you may still be eligible for ERTC.
Presented in partnership with the PA Chamber of Business and Industry, VerusGP will provide expert knowledge about the ERTC program. If your company was previously told it did not qualify, the ERTC program has evolved significantly over time, and you may now be eligible.
Program Highlights Include Solutions for:
Overview of the ERTC program
Discussion on eligibility for the ERTC program
Learn if your business qualifies for the ERTC program.
This program is a free, PA Chamber Member-Sponsored Webinar and is open to Pennsylvania's business community.

UC Fraud and UC-1099G Tax Forms
Victim of unemployment fraud?
Criminals using stolen identities filed claims for unemployment compensation in other people's names. Because unemployment compensation is taxable, state unemployment agencies submit Forms 1099-G to individuals in whose names and Social Security numbers the unemployment compensation was paid and to the IRS. Victims of fraud who receive Forms 1099-G with inaccurate amounts of unemployment compensation in Box 1 should notify the state agencies of the inaccuracies and request corrected Forms 1099-G. The Department of Labor details www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/UIIDtheft.

Did you know........
Small businesses represent the largest segment by number of most local chamber membership rolls. Results in the research study by The Shapiro Group, Inc. and Market Street indicate the impact of local chamber membership on small businesses is very powerful. If a consumer knows a small business is a member of its local chamber, the business enjoys a 44 percent increase in its consumer favorability rating, a 51 percent increase in consumer awareness, a 57 percent increase in its local reputation and a 63 percent increase in the likelihood that consumers will patronize the business in the future.
Research indicates that chamber membership stimulates business-to-business commerce in the local community. Other businesses in town are more likely to do business with you and your company if you are a member of the local chamber. Because a major part of a small business typically comes from business-to-business services, it is essential to maintain a positive standing within the local business community.
