To stimulate business and industrial growth in depressed areas of the state, Alabama offers certain tax incentives to corporations, partnerships, and proprietorships which locate or expand within a designated enterprise zone. These tax credit incentives were enacted by Act No. 87-573 of the Alabama Legislature and signed into law on July 22, 1987 as the “Alabama Enterprise Zone Act.”
In order to qualify for the tax credits, a business must be located within a designated zone as approved by the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs. If a credit is earned by a partnership or S corporation, the credit will be distributed to each partner or shareholder based on the percentage of ownership. The partnership or S corporation should advise each partner or shareholder of the amount of his/her income subject to this credit.
