Boise company can sue Idaho over tax incentives that aided its competitor

The Idaho Supreme Court on Friday restored a lawsuit against the state of Idaho over a tax incentive program for new or expanding companies.

Employers Resource Management Co. of Boise sued in 2016 after officials gave a tax incentive to Paylocity, an Illinois company and competitor establishing a new office here.

The incentive came through the state’s Tax Reimbursement Incentive Program, created by the Legislature in 2014. In this case, Idaho agreed to refund Paylocity $6.5 million in income, payroll and sales tax over 15 years.
