This section is for businesses and municipalities interested in the Main Street Tax Credit Incentive Program. Individuals and businesses looking to make a charitable donation can find more information about our 501(c)(3), the Downtown Everett Partners, HERE.
The 2025 program is now open. There is a limit on the available credits, so don’t delay in making your application!
The Main Street Tax Credit Incentive Program provides a Business & Occupation (B&O) or Public Utility tax (PUT) credit for private contributions given to designated Washington Main Street Communities, including the Downtown Everett Association (DEA). 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, you are eligible for a tax credit worth 75% of the contribution to the DEA. When you make a donation, 75% of your contribution is returned to you via B&O Tax credits the following year. Please contact your tax preparer for guidance.
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.
Examples:
Your 2025 contribution: $1,000
= $750 B&O Tax Credit comes back to you (75% credit)
Your 2025 contribution: $5,000
= $3,750 B&O Tax Credit comes back to you (75% 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.
Additional credits are available starting at 8am on April 1, 2025. Make sure to apply early, they will go fast!
Once confirmed, the pledged amount must be paid in full to the Downtown Everett Association no later than November 1, 2025 to receive the tax credit in 2026. The donation can be spread out into multiple payments throughout the year.
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.
For questions, please contact Liz Stenning, [email protected]
Downtown Everett Association became a designated Main Street Community in January 2021, joining 35 other Main Streets across Washington State. Washington Main Street helps communities revitalize the economy, appearance, and image of their downtown districts using the successful Main Street Approach, a comprehensive revitalization strategy built around a community’s unique heritage and attributes. The Main Street Approach has four focus areas, called the Four Points, which drive our revitalization efforts: Design, Economic Vitality, Organization, and Promotion.
Additional information about the Washington Main Street coordinating program can be found here.
After applying on the DOR website, donations to the Downtown Everett Association can be made by check. Online payment options are available upon request.
