Farm News: Meat Processor Tax Credit In Place

comments

Posted: 10.21.2010

A new tax credit for Wisconsin's meat processors is in place and making a difference!

The $300,000 in Meat Processing Facility Investment Credits for 17 meat processors will leverage $3.4 million in investments and generate 49 jobs according to state estimates.  DATCP Secretary Randy Romanski made the announcement Wednesday at an event at Nueske’s Meat Products in Shawano County.  Nueske’s received a $20,943 grant to upgrade its equipment and facility and create 12 jobs.

The Meat Processing Facility Investment Credit program was created in the Governor’s last budget to support the modernization of the state’s meat processing industry.  The tax credits build on the success of the state’s dairy modernization and investment tax programs.  The program provides a tax credit for up to 10 percent of the expenditures meat processors invest in modernization or expansion.  Eligible costs include construction, additions, utility upgrades, equipment, technology and other upgrades.
 
This is the first year that meat processors can apply for the tax credits.  In the next fiscal year, $700,000 will be available for the program.  The program will continue through January 1, 2017.  For the full list of tax credit recipients visit: http://www.wisgov.state.wi.us/docview.asp?docid=20508.
