Main Street Tax Credit Incentive

Keep your tax dollars local!

If you are a Washington state business who pays Business and Occupation (B&O) or Public Utility Tax (PUT), the Main Street Tax Credit Incentive Program allows you to direct some of your tax dollars to your Historic Downtown!

After receiving approval from the Department of Revenue, your business may receive a credit for 75% of the value of their contribution the following year.

"I contribute to the Main Street program every year because not only does it benefit my city economically, but because I also really look forward to those large credits towards my B&O tax come the first quarter of the next fiscal year!"
