Alaska Tax Planning Tip
Alaska’s combination of no state income tax and no state sales tax is unmatched in the U.S. However, some municipalities charge local sales taxes (up to 7.5%) and property tax rates vary dramatically by borough. For oil and gas businesses, Alaska’s production tax and credits system is complex but can be highly favorable with proper planning. Business owners should also factor the annual Permanent Fund Dividend into household tax planning, as it’s taxable on federal returns.
