Notice: Miss. Code Ann. §27-7-22.41 provides that the aggregate amount of tax credits that may be allocated by the Department of Revenue to certain business enterprises making voluntary cash contributions to eligible charitable organizations cannot exceed five million dollars ($5,000,000) in a calendar year.
Notice: In 2019, the Mississippi Legislature passed the Children’s Promise Act, which authorized a tax credit for businesses when they donate to an Eligible Charitable Organization. There is no cap for each individual business taxpayer; however, the total amount that can be allocated is $5,000,000 for all business taxpayers combined. The Department foresees that applications for the entire $5,000,000 will be submitted soon after the application process opens on January 1, 2020.
