Arkansas jet-fuel makers get conditional tax credits
For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2025, qualifying Arkansas fuel makers get a 30% income tax credit. It covers qualifying production and processing equipment costs, with eligible costs broadly including buildings, site work, utilities, and construction services. Motor vehicles are excluded. Projects must make kerosene-type jet fuel from wood biomass and receive state agency approval. Companies must invest more than $2 billion in qualifying project costs after the law’s effective date. Construction must start by December 31, 2027. Projects must create at least 75 new permanent full-time jobs, with average annual pay of at least $100,000. Qualifying workers generally must be Arkansas taxpayers and work at least 30 hours weekly for 26 consecutive weeks. Some contract workers also qualify under specific employment rules. Manufacturers must use more than 80% of their electricity and natural gas to power production and processing equipment. Credits are capped at the lower of the state-certified amount and the amount in the company’s incentive agreement. Annual claims cannot exceed Arkansas income tax due; unused credits carry forward indefinitely. Agreements require investment, job, pay, and timing targets, verified through reporting. They also require repayment or credit adjustments when targets or positive state cost-benefit results are not maintained. The Chief Fiscal Officer must approve the cost-benefit review and repayment framework. The review covers the longer of the credit’s life or 12 years, capped at 15 years.
