Cybersecurity Investment Incentive Tax Credit

Beginning January 1, 2014 Maryland provides a refundable tax credit equal to 33% of an eligible investment to Qualified Maryland Cybersecurity Companies (QMCCs) that seek and secure investment from an in-state or out-of-state investor.

The program appropriations for FY 2014 are $3 million, with a minimum appropriation per year through July 1, 2019 of $2 million. The maximum allowable credit is $250,000 per QMCC and cannot equate to more than 15% of the total program appropriation in a single fiscal year.
