The Los Angeles Enterprise Zone has been in existence since the 1980s.

Los Angeles Enterprise Zones now cover areas such as Hollywood, Downtown, East Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley.  Los Angeles Enterprise Zone tax credits are available to all businesses located in any one of the Los Angeles Enterprise Zones.

Until recently, the Los Angeles Enterprise Zone also included areas like Harbor City and south central Los Angeles. Businesses located in Harbor City and other “expired” Los Angeles Enterprise Zones may still take advantage of Los Angeles Enterprise Zone tax credits on a retroactive basis only.

Employees do NOT have to live in a Los Angeles Enterprise Zone in order to qualify for this credit. Terminated employees may also qualify.
