Employment Tax Credits

TaxBreak

About 20 percent of all restaurant new hires qualify for federal tax credits, and that's money back to you, and probably money that you've never thought about collecting.

TaxBreak makes it easy to capture these credits without the hassle of mountains of government paperwork. Once the credits are calculated they are turned back to your accountant who will deduct them from your income tax. Simple. No hassle.

You don't pay anything unless TaxBreak collects credits for you. Then, you pay only a small portion of the credits you receive. Associate members can also benefit from TaxBreak. Click here for more information about TaxBreak.

Program in Our Industry

Workers' Compensation Insurance

Workers' Compensation Insurance is a keystone of the MHRA's benefit package.  Our own self insured trust now manages over $500 million in payroll and features on-line claims tracking. This gives you command over your claims.
