  • 93Rd Arkansas General Assembly: Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit Cap Increase
    93rd Arkansas General Assembly: Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit Cap Increase 02/26/2021 The 93rd Arkansas General Assembly convened for regular session on January 11th. House Bill 1555 (HB1555) has been filed which would increase the cap for the Arkansas Historic Tax Credit from $4 million to $10 million per fiscal year. HB1555 would also: Walter Wright, Jr. extend the historic tax credit sunset provision from 2027 to 2037 [email protected] allow the Division of Arkansas Heritage to utilize fees that it collects under the Arkansas Historic (501) 688.8839 Rehabilitation Income Tax Credit Act to support personnel who administer the program. The Bill is sponsored by Representative Joe Jett and Senator Jonathan Dismang. Co-Sponsors of the Bill include: Representative Sonia Eubanks Barker Representative Andrew Collins Representative Les Eaves Representative Denise Jones Ennett Representative Jimmy Gazaway Representative Lee Johnson Representative Tippi McCullough Representative Aaron Pilkington Representative Les Warren Senator Missy Irvin Senator Bill Sample Senator Clarke Tucker In 2009 legislation was enacted by the Arkansas General Assembly allowing Arkansans to claim a portion of their investment in historic properties as a credit on their state income taxes. See Ark. Code Ann. § 26- 51-2204. The program is administered by the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program. The objective is to encourage the rehabilitation of historic properties and foster revitalization efforts in Arkansas’s historic downtowns and neighborhoods. Properties that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places or are listed as “contributing” within a historic district are eligible. Twenty-five percent of the approved rehabilitation expenses on a historic building may be claimed as a tax credit.

    2 As a biopharmaceutical company that treats serious diseases, Lilly plays an important role in public health and its related policy debates. It is important that our company shapes global public policy debates on issues specific to the people we serve and to our other key stakeholders including shareholders and employees. Our engagement in the political arena helps address the most pressing issues related to ensuring that patients have access to needed medications—leading to improved patient outcomes. Through public policy engagement, we provide a way for all of our locations globally to shape the public policy environment in a manner that supports access to innovative medicines. We engage on issues specific to local business environments (corporate tax, for example). Based on our company’s strategy and the most recent trends in the policy environment, our company has decided to focus on three key areas: innovation, health care delivery, and pricing and reimbursement. More detailed information on key issues can be found in our 2012/13 Corporate Responsibility update.

Government actions such as price controls, pharmaceutical manufacturer rebates, and access to Lilly medicines affect our ability to invest in innovation. Lilly has a comprehensive government relations operation to have a voice in the public policymaking process at the federal, state and local levels. Lilly is committed to participating in the political process as a responsible corporate citizen to help inform the U.S. debate over health care and pharmaceutical innovation.
