TAX CREDITS AND OTHER INCENTIVES.

(a) For the purpose of determining tax credits, grants, and other economic incentives provided by this state or other governmental entities that are based on employment, covered employees are considered employees of the client and the client is solely entitled to the benefit of any tax credit, economic incentive, or other benefit arising from the employment of covered employees of the client. This subsection applies even if the professional employer organization is the reporting employer for federal income tax purposes.

(b) If a grant or the amount of any incentive described by Subsection (a) is based on the number of employees, each client shall be treated as employing only those employees coemployed by the client. Covered employees working for other clients of the professional employer organization may not be included in the computation.

(c) Each professional employer organization shall provide, on the request of a client or an agency of this state, employment information reasonably required by the state agency responsible for the administration of any tax credit or economic incentive described by Subsection (a) and necessary to support a request, claim, application, or other action by a client seeking the tax credit or economic incentive.
