$10 million of Oregon Credits are up for auction from July 8, 2015 to July 17, 2015.
Does your business qualify? The ideal bidder will have the following:
- A 2015 Oregon Tax Liability. Unused credits will carry over for 3 years.
- Your income is from Oregon exclusively (multi-state income may impact ability to receive credit for double taxed income)
- You are subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax (turns a non-deductible state tax into a deductible charitable contribution)
- You are making Estimated Tax Payments
Assuming a successful bid of $10,000 for $10,000 in credits, there is potential tax savings of $3,458 (assuming a 35% regular tax rate. Discuss with your tax advisor your specific tax savings. For more information, visit https://oregonfilm.org).
Aldrich will work with you to determine the appropriate amount of credits to bid on, discuss your specific bidding plan and complete Form TCA. Upon your approval, Aldrich will submit your bid online. A payment (cashier’s check) and signed Form TCA is then required. Aldrich will deliver the payment and Form TCA to the Oregon Department of Revenue. The final step is to wait for acceptance or rejection of the bid. If rejected, payment will be returned to you.
