10% tax credit for prison-industry purchases

Beginning with tax years starting January 1, 2025, primary sector businesses can claim a 10% income tax credit for parts and labor bought from prison industries. The credit is nonrefundable, claimed in the year you buy the items, and any unused amount can carry forward for up to five years. All credits statewide are capped at $45,000 per calendar year; if claims exceed the cap, the Tax Commissioner prorates them, and unused statewide capacity carries to the next year. You cannot also claim any other North Dakota income tax deduction or credit for the same purchases. By January 31 each year, send your name, address, EIN or SSN, proof you were a primary sector business on the purchase date, the paid invoice, and a short description of what you bought or the work. After January 31, the Tax Commissioner notifies you of your allowed credit. Pass-through entities compute the credit at the entity and allocate it to owners; consolidated corporate filers can apply the credit against the group’s North Dakota tax.
