Agriculturally-Based Fuel Production Wage and Salary Tax Credit

The following was repealed by House Bill 1050, 2017: New ethanol, biodiesel, green diesel, and biogas producers may be eligible for an income tax credit equal to a percentage of wages and salaries paid each year. A corporation involved in processing an agricultural product, including ethanol, biodiesel, and biogas feedstocks, may claim an income tax credit equal to 1% of wages and salaries paid during the tax year for each of the first three years of operation and 0.5% of wages and salaries paid during the tax year for the fourth and fifth years. Only corporations doing business in North Dakota for the first time are eligible. A corporation created from the reorganization or acquisition of an existing business does not qualify, nor does a business that receives a property or income tax exemption under North Dakota Century Code 40-57.1.
