Kansas Enterprise Zone
The Kansas Enterprise Zone Program is designed to encourage businesses to create new jobs. Enterprise Zone incentives are available to qualified businesses throughout Kansas, based on the location of the facility, the type of facility (manufacturing, non-manufacturing, or retail), the capital investment made, and the number of jobs created. A sales tax exemption is available on materials, equipment, and services purchased when building, expanding, or renovating a business facility. State income tax credits are available for job creation and capital investment. Earned credits may be used to offset up to 100 percent of a company’s annual state income tax liability.
Notice of Change -- Posted July 2, 2010
Due to the expansion of the qualified busineses eligible for the PEAK program, the 2010 Kansas Legislature repealed the Business and Job Development (B&J) tax credits in the metropolitan counties of Johnson, Wyandotte, Leavenworth, Douglas, Sedgwick and Shawnee after December 31, 2010. This includes the Enterprise Zone (EZ) job and investment tax credits and the “100/100” job and investment tax credits for retailers. The sales tax project exemption under EZ is still applicable in these metropolitan counties. Non-metropolitan counties are unaffected by this change. Click here for details.
