Restaurant TEFRA Service

An additional service that many of our restaurant customers take advantage of is our TEFRA and FICA Income Tax Credit Program.

If you serve food on your premises, employ people who are customarily tipped, and have more than 10 employees, chances are that you must comply with the Tip Equalization and Financial Responsibility Act (TEFRA) of 1982.

In addition, your restaurant may be able to save money with the FICA Income Tax Credit. Under the Internal Revenue Code section 45 (B), you may be eligible for a partial tax credit on tips that exceed the federal or state minimum wage, whichever is higher.
