GERARD ACTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR October 1, 2010 Senate President Mitchell Speaker of the House Pingree Members of the l24th Maine Legislature: Pursuant to 5 MRSA Section 13070-J, the State Tax Assessor is required to submit a report to the Legislature identifying the revenue foregone as the result of the Jobs and Investment Tax Credit (JITC), the Research Expense Tax Credit (R&D), the Seed Capital Investment Tax Credit, the Shipbuilding Facility Credit, the Credit for Pollution-Reducing Boilers, and public funds spent on the Business Equipment Tax Reimbursement Program (BETR). Attached are four reports that provide you with this information. The first attachment lists corporations and individuals that reduced their Maine income tax liability with the JITC, the R&D credit, and/or the Seed Capital credit for tax year 2008, as well as the value of those credits. Tax year 2008 is the last year for which we have full information on both corporate and individual filers. Statutes governing the release of confidential taxpayer information prevent us from reporting the names of the corporations or individuals that benefited from these tax credits. No taxpayer took advantage of the Credit for Pollution-Reducing Boilers for tax year 2008. The second attachment explains the Shipbuilding Facility credit. As required by statute, the report provides information on the level of employment, yearly investment and the cumulative amount of investment. Since the inception of the credit, the level of employment has been such that the annual cost to the state treasury has exceeded the base credit amount of $3 million per year.
