FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. HB 182
2021 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
Background
Prior to December 31, 2020, Fisheries Resource Landing Tax (FRLT) taxpayers that harvested fisheries resources under a
community development quota (CDQ) and that made contributions during the tax year to Alaska nonprofit corporations
that are dedicated to fisheries industry-related education, research, and/or work were allowed to claim a credit of 100%
of the contribution amount, up to 45.45% of the taxpayers tax liability on fishery resources harvested under a CDQ.
However, the CDQ Credit sunset on December 31, 2020.
This bill extends the sunset date of the CDQ credit to December 31, 2030, and provides for an immediate effective date.
The bill is retroactive to December 30, 2020.
Revenue Impact
Proceeds from the FRLT are deposited into the General Fund and shared between the state and municipalities. Since t he
CDQ Credit can only be used against the municipal share of the FRLT tax proceeds, the state share of the proceeds
reported in the Unrestricted General Fund (UGF) would remain the same. However, the municipal share of the proceeds
reported in the Designated General Fund (DGF) would be reduced by the CDQ credit amount as reflected in this fiscal
note.
This revenue estimate uses actual FY2020 CDQ credits as a baseline and assumes a 2% annual increase in credit value. For
FY2022, the estimate is higher because it includes 1.5 years of impact this assumes that impacts for the second half of
FY2021 would be realized in revenue impact in FY2022 (since the extension of the CDQ credit is retroactive).
Implementation Cost
This legislation would require only minor changes to update the Department's Tax Revenue Management System (TRMS)
and Revenue Online (ROL) which allows a taxpayer to file a return online. The Department will be able to make the
changes with existing resources, and does not anticipate any continuing costs or additional staff needs.
