Incentives, Tax Credits, and Tax Abatements
Incentives The Mississippi Development Authority (MDA), through its Financial Resources Division, administers a variety of incentive programs designed to assist businesses in obtaining loans for development and expansion and to posture the State as an aggressive competitor in the global market.
Financial Incentive Programs Major projects require major financing. Choctaw County and the state of Mississippi can tailor a package of financial programs that makes your expansion or location as simple and cost-effective as possible. Glance at the programs listed below, and you'll see that a financial program is featured for businesses of almost every size and every industry. Few communities can rival the financial packages that Choctaw County and Mississippi can provide to new and expanding businesses. Large projects may qualify for the Major Economic Impact Authority, which puts at the disposal of MDA funds that can be used on projects of $300 million or more. Unique in the nation, this program allows the state to issue general obligation bonds to assist local communities that need to meet development requirements of large capital projects. In some cases, a major project may require special infrastructure or transportation facilities, and such options as the Access Road Program, the Airport Revitalization Program, the Economic Development Highway Program, and the Development Infrastructure Program are all designed to make those improvements to the manufacturer's specifications. Project managers and Financial Resources staff work closely with your business to make sure that you have the facilities you need to enhance your product line and your bottom line. The Rural Economic Development Assistance (RED) Program is another incentive unparalleled in the nation. Working as a companion program to certain bond financing, RED allows eligible businesses to receive credits on Mississippi corporate income taxes. The Industrial Development Revenue Bond Program reduces the interest costs of financing projects for companies through the issuance of both taxable and tax-exempt bonds. Additionally, ad valorem and sales tax exemptions and the above-referenced RED program credits are available in conjunction with this type of public financing. While Industrial Development Revenue Bonds, Major Economic Impact Authority, and Rural Economic Development may be the most visible of Mississippi's programs, the state uses a much wider variety of programs to address the location and financing needs of its new and expanding businesses. Other loan programs that may apply to your company are listed below.
