Alaska Affordability Act – Corporate Income Tax Credit

Overview:
Effective February 2025, the Alaska Affordability Act offers a 50% corporate income tax credit for businesses that invest in areas directly tied to reducing the cost of living in Alaska. Eligible contributions can be made toward childcare, utilities, housing, and food affordability efforts, but the credit comes with strict compliance and usage limits.

Who It’s For:
Corporations operating in Alaska that are subject to the state’s corporate income tax and are investing in initiatives that ease cost-of-living pressures for Alaskan residents.

Four Key Highlights:

  1. Covers 50% of Qualifying Cost-of-Living Investments
    Qualifying categories include:

    • Employer-provided or reimbursed childcare

    • Utility rate reduction initiatives

    • Housing affordability or energy-efficient construction

    • Food availability and affordability programs

  2. Strict Credit Usage Limits

    • The credit cannot reduce a business’s tax liability by more than 50% in a given year.

    • It is non-transferable and cannot be carried forward to future tax years.

  3. No Double Dipping Allowed

    • Expenses claimed for this credit can’t be used for other Alaska credits or deducted under federal tax law.

  4. Detailed Documentation Required

    • Businesses must retain records for three years, maintain clear proof of qualifying expenses, and follow all current and future Alaska Department of Revenue rules.
