On Dec. 7, 2020, the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center (MLSC) began accepting applications for a new round of the Center’s Life Sciences Tax Incentive Program, which offers tax incentives to companies engaged in life sciences research and development, commercialization and manufacturing in Massachusetts. The Program, part of the state’s Life Sciences Initiative, is approved to award up to $30 million in tax incentives each year (up from $25 million for periods prior to Jan. 1, 2019). The primary goal of the program is to incentivize life sciences companies to create new sustained jobs in Massachusetts.
