State incentives are fast-becoming the equalizer when comparing business tax climate in other states and countries. Many states rely on their incentive packages to retain and attract business and as a result, every business should consider State Tax Incentives and Credits as part of their ongoing business strategy.

State incentives often involve multiple parties and contain a wide swath of opportunities, but the majority of programs fall under statutory (legislative) and negotiable (customized) incentives. While statutory incentives are fixed-price/fixed-benefit incentives that are available for public purview, negotiable incentives are customized and often times involve the city (government and chamber), county, state government, surrounding businesses and even the utility companies.
