Main Street Tax Credit Incentive Program

The 2026 Main Street Tax Credit Incentive Program is now open!

This section is for businesses interested in supporting us through the MSTCIP. Individuals and businesses looking to make a charitable contribution can donate to our 501(c)(3), the Downtown Everett Partners, HERE. 

Thanks to the Main Street Tax Credit Incentive Program (MSTCIP), Washington businesses can put dollars into supporting their local downtown and get a 75% tax credit in return. That means more support for local businesses, events, and community projects. It’s a win for your business, for your community, and a smart way to invest in Downtown Everett.

 

To be eligible for the tax credit, businesses must register on the Washington State Department of Revenue (DOR) website to pledge their donation. Once your business’ donation request is approved by the DOR and you make your donation, 75% of your contribution will be returned to you via B&O Tax credits  or PUT credits the following January.

 

Examples:

Your contribution: $1,000

= $750 credit on your B&O Tax

 

Your contribution: $5,000

= $3,750 credit on your B&O Tax

How do you actually get the tax credit?

A donation request must be submitted online through the WA DOR website, but don’t worry – it’s easy! Step-by-step instructions are available here.

 

Once confirmed, the pledged amount must be paid in full to the Downtown Everett Association no later than November 1, 2026. The donation can be spread out into multiple payments throughout the year. We will contact you to arrange payment.

 

Once the donation is complete, the tax credit will be available starting January 2027. Businesses must take the tax credit the year after the donation is made – the tax credit can’t be carried forward and there won’t be a refund for any credit above and beyond a business’ tax liability.

 

Additional information, including a step-by-step guide to applying from the WA Department of Revenue, is available on the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation website.

The Main Street Approach

Downtown Everett Association became a designated Washington Main Street community in January 2021, joining 35 other Main Streets across the state. Washington Main Street helps communities revitalize the economy, appearance, and image of their downtown districts.  The comprehensive revitalization strategy is built around the community’s unique heritage and attributes.

 

For more than 40 years, Main Street America has helped revitalize or strengthen commercial districts through their signature Main Street Approach™ framework. The Main Street Approach has four focus areas, called the Four Points, which provide a path for our revitalization efforts: Design, Economic Vitality, Organization, and Promotion.

 

The power of Main Street in Washington State is irrefutable. Learn how your business can have a direct impact through the Washington Main Street Tax Incentive Program.
