# Location-based tax incentives for business growth

Our Location Benefits service helps businesses identify and secure state and local tax incentives that support expansion and investment.

## Managing incentives across locations

State and local tax incentives vary by location, with different requirements, timelines, and documentation. As businesses expand, keeping up with available opportunities can quickly become difficult to manage, especially as internal tax teams become leaner, manage shifting priorities, and adapt to changing tax legislation and program requirements.

Without a structured approach, opportunities may be missed or evaluated too late. With Maximus’ Location Benefits, you get a single view across locations, supported by a team that helps identify and track state and local tax credits and other incentives that reduce operating costs.

## Experience and approach

Maximus supports employers operating across multiple locations with varying state and local incentive programs. Drawing on nearly 50 years of experience, we help align expansion activity with available opportunities and navigate both statutory and negotiated incentives.

## Statutory and negotiated incentive programs

Many opportunities extend beyond what is automatically available through standard eligibility criteria. Our Location Benefits service helps identify statutory incentives and evaluate negotiated opportunities that are not always visible.

### Statutory programs

Defined in state or local law and awarded based on established criteria such as hiring, wages, or capital investment. These programs are typically more straightforward to identify but still require consistent review and proper recordkeeping.

### Negotiated programs

Structured through direct engagement with agencies and often tied to expansion, relocation, or long-term investment decisions. These opportunities can offer greater value but depend on timing, project scope, and coordinated engagement with state or local stakeholders.

## Types of location-based tax incentives

**Enterprise zone and Empowerment zone incentives**  
Linked to hiring or investment in designated geographic areas

**Job creation tax credits**  
Based on new full-time positions and wage thresholds

**Workforce training incentives**  
Support employee training and workforce development

**Capital investment incentives**  
Associated with facility expansion, equipment purchases, or infrastructure improvements

**Research and development incentives**  
Support innovation and product development

**Energy and sustainability tax credits**  
Tied to efficiency improvements and environmental initiatives

## From opportunity to outcome

When a national retailer needed to consolidate three distribution centers and build a new $80–90M facility in the Southeast, Maximus analyzed multiple sites across two states, identified the prime location, negotiated with state and local authorities, and filed all necessary applications, securing location-based tax incentives that delivered meaningful cost savings.
