DC Tax Law

Washington, D.C., 10/1/97--A recent Federal law established a set of financial and economic incentives designed to revitalize the District. These incentives include:
  • the establishment of a District of Columbia Enterprise Zone;
  • the establishment of a procedure for the creation of tax-exempt economic development bonds;
  • the establishment of a zero percent capital gains tax rate for businesses located in certain areas of the District;
  • a 20-percent wage credit for the first $15,000 of wages paid to all D.C. residents, and
  • a $5,000 tax credit for homebuyers purchasing their first home in the District.
