California Form 3805Z

The City will issue a Hiring Tax Credit Voucher to a business for each qualified employee hired by the business. The voucher certifies that the employee meets the eligibility requirements for a qualified individual, and is one of the supporting documents to substantiate a business’s claim for a tax credit for hiring a qualified individual. The voucher must be retained by the business, and shared with their tax preparer as documentation for the employer’s tax return.

The voucher alone does not qualify an employer to claim the Enterprise Zone hiring credit. To qualify for the credit, the business must operate in the Taft Area Enterprise Zone, the employee must spend 90 percent of his or her work time in the zone, and the employee must meet legal right-to-work requirements. It is the employer’s responsibility to verify an employee’s right to work in the United States

A completed voucher application submittal will contain the following documents:

1. 1. Voucher Application with cover letter
2. 2. Supporting Documentation
3. 3. Voucher Processing Fee Check endorsed to “The City of Taft”.  
      The Voucher Processing Fee is $140.00 ($125.00 City of Taft fee to support Enterprise Zone and $15.00 State Fee)
