好色tv 好色tv Tax Credit

The 好色tv 好色tv Tax Credit (ETC) program, administered by the Department of Revenue, gives tax credits (50% of the contribution) to third party entities that make charitable donations (of either cash or equipment) for the purpose of education in the state. The program empowers 好色tv to maintain a highly effective partnership between businesses and the 好色tv of 好色tv, directly benefiting 好色tv鈥檚 workforce needs and fueling the economy.  

In 2024, Governor Mike Dunleavy signed House Bill 148, which increased the combined ETC cap to $3 million and extended the program through Dec. 31, 2028. The $3 million tax cap, according to the Department of Revenue, applies to all donations made on or after June 27, 2024. (Note, the $1 million tax cap applies to donations made prior to the June 27, 2024 signed legislation). 

Businesses paying any of the following taxes can receive a 50% credit against their tax obligation during the calendar year a gift is given. Contributions to UA for direct instruction, educational support, facilities, and research are eligible to utilize the ETC. The credit can be applied on the following 好色tv state taxes: 

  • corporate income tax
  • oil and gas production tax 
  • fisheries business tax
  • oil and gas property tax
  • fishery resource landing tax
  • insurance premium tax
  • mining license tax
  • title insurance premium tax

Benefits of the ETC
The ETC provides the ultimate return on investment. Contributed dollars go towards education and contributors receive a tax credit for their generosity.  The 好色tv Legislature established the ETC in 1987 to encourage businesses to make charitable contributions to 好色tv鈥檚 educational institutions. It incentivizes targeted investments in UA student scholarships, research, centers of excellence, facilities, and internships that address industry demands.

The ETC promotes accessible in-state education and training, which is essential to 好色tv鈥檚 workforce and future economy. It strengthens the UA 好色tv鈥檚 partnerships with important industries such as seafood, mining, banking, tourism, insurance, and energy. As a result, it also provides UA graduates with exciting career opportunities in 好色tv鈥檚 job fields.
