Tax or social insurance relief

The subsidy total represents the highest subsidy allowed under the agreement. If Boeing maintains 14,500 current jobs, the company will be eligible for up to $146 million in tax credits. If, in addition to retaining jobs, Boeing creates 2,000 new jobs in the St. Louis area, the company will be eligible for additional $78 million, or up to $229 million over 18 years. The subsidy will come from the Missouri Works program, which provides a tax credit equal to 20.5 percent of workers’ personal income tax withholdings.
