Five Firms Qualify |
For Industrial
Tax Incentive
JUNEAU, U>i — The State De
partment of Commerce said that
five firms have taken advantage
of Alaska’s industrial incentive
act since it went into actual op
eration.
Under the terms of the 1957 act,
the state and its political sub
divisions are permitted to excuse
firms seeking to establish an in
dustry in the state from paying
(state and local taxes.
The law also applies to firms
which operate tourist hotels.
The state and local tax exemp
tions are permitted for as long as
10 years, depending on the amount
of the investment involved in the
new industry or tourist hotel.
The tax exemptions, too, can be
cut off before they are due to
expire should the earnings of the
firm involved go over 8 percent.
Each case is decided on its in
dividual merits.
“The act has been working very
satisfactorily to date,” Commis
sioner A. H. Romick of the De
partment of Commerce said.
“We have issued five cetifi
cates to date. These five compan
ies employ an estimated 875 per
sons and have a total annual pay
roll of some $6,500,000.”
Romick said 11 other applica
tions for certificates of tax exemp
tion under the act are being con
sidered at this time.
The two largest firms to re
ceive tax exemption certificates
have been the Pacific Northern
Lumber Co. at Wrangell and the
Alaska Lumber and Pulp Co.
plant at Sitka.
The latter, which was dedicated
only last month, cost an estimated
66 million dollars. Japanese in
terests control the firm.
