AIJC&I Act by HOLLY QUINN



ANGEL INVESTOR JOB CREATION & INNOVATION ACT
OF DELAWARE


The June 15, 2018 issue of Cape Gazette has a letter by Delaware State Representative
Steve Smyk that mentions the “Angel Investor Job Creation & Innovation Act..

I thought anything with a title like this needed 'looking into”.

OK, this from www.google.com by reporter Holly Quinn dated May 25, 2018 at
9:50 am.

It is house Bill 170 which Gov John Carney signed into law Thursday. It is noted
that it is for small technology companies, but, what is it and how can it help you if you are
other than a startup or potential startup investor. Here it is, “Broken Down” as they say on
google.com :

The act is an amendment to Titles 29 & 30 Delaware Code “which entitles qualified
investors 'angel' investors to a TAX credit.
It does away with Title 29, the “ Delaware Investment Tax Credit Program” .
The credit amount is changed from 15% to an amount up to 25% 'to be determined'
by the director of Division of Small Business Development & Tourism.
Before this amendment , credit could not exceed the total of TAX due, but now, it can,
so it is possible to receive credit as a tax refund.

For an individual investor a minimum investment in a small tech company is
$10,000 a calendar year or $30,000 for a fund.

The incentive here is to encourage more investment in a specific sort of Delaware
tech startup that is committed to innovating the state.

What you need to qualify to start a small tech company : You need to by based in
Delaware, 51% of employees be in Delaware, fewer than 25 employees, a tech in
high tech field, employee wages federal minimum. A 10 year business record, no
previous investment more than $4.000,000 and no public exchange holding.

Business has to be certified and investors need to be qualified investor.

Understand?
