Updated Jul 25, 2021

Summary

Session
Regular Session 2012
Title
Taxation, income tax credit for purchase and installation of irrigation systems, water wells and reservoirs by agricultural entities
Description

Under existing law, Alabama income taxpayers can elect to expense certain property in accordance with Section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code. This bill would allow certain taxpayers to expense property under Section 179 as it existed on January 1, 2011.

Currently there are no incentives for businesses in an agricultural trade or business to develop solutions to combat the drought conditions that have prevailed in recent years. This bill will provide an income tax credit of up to $10,000 for the purchase and installation of irrigation systems and the building and development of water wells and reservoirs by those business entities that engage in agriculture.
