Unlocking powerful tax savings for your business
At Abdo, we partner with you to help your business maximize financial potential through strategic tax planning. One of the most valuable opportunities available to companies in Arizona is the Qualified Facilities Tax Credit, an incentive designed to support businesses that are investing in new facilities, creating jobs, and stimulating economic growth in the state.
Let's Dive In
What is the Arizona Qualified Facilities Tax Credit?
The Arizona Qualified Facilities Tax Credit is a program administered by the Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA) that provides tax incentives to businesses that make substantial capital investments and create quality jobs in the state. This program aims to attract and retain high-value industries, thereby boosting Arizona's economy.
Who can qualify?
Eligibility requirements
To qualify for the Arizona Qualified Facilities Tax Credit, businesses must meet specific criteria, including:
Capital Investment
Companies must make a minimum capital investment in new or expanded facilities. This investment can include expenditures for land, buildings, and equipment.
Job Creation
Businesses must create a certain number of net new full-time jobs that meet wage requirements set by the ACA. These jobs must be maintained for a specified period.
Industry Focus
Any industry that has made a large capital investment as well as drastically increased jobs in the state of Arizona over the past five years has the potential to qualify for this credit.
Benefits of the tax credit
The Arizona Qualified Facilities Tax Credit offers significant financial benefits, including:
Income Tax Credit
Eligible businesses can receive a refundable income tax credit based on their capital investment and job creation.
Significant Credits Over Time
Credits are claimed, reported, and paid over five consecutive taxable years. For example, we recently had a client who invested $10,000,000 and added 100 jobs. This client is getting approximately $1,000,000 in refundable credits over 5 years.
Enhanced Competitiveness
By reducing tax liabilities and increasing cashflow, businesses can reinvest savings into further growth and development, enhancing their competitive edge.
