Tax Credits Available to Businesses for Making Donations to Munipalities

The Town of Mansfield is seeking local business partners to participate in the CT Neighborhood Assistant Act Tax Credit Program.   This program is designed to provide funding for municipal and tax exempt organizations by providing a corporation business tax credit for businesses that make cash contributions to these entities.  Businesses can receive a CT tax credit of 60% of their approved contribution to certain programs (or 100% in the case of certain energy conservation programs) approved by the Department of Revenue Services.  Any tax credit that is not taken in the income year in which the contribution was made may be carried back to the two immediately preceding income years (beginning with the earlier of such years).  The maximum donation is $250,000 per year.

Qualifying Projects of interest to the Town of Mansfield

• Water Harvesting- Mansfield Community Center-Install a system to collect, filter, store, and re-use rainwater from building roof areas.  This project will make the facility more sustainable by reducing or eliminating the need for water from the local water supply system (UConn water system managed by Connecticut Water).-(Qualifies for 100% tax credit).

• Playground construction- adjacent to the Mansfield Community Center – This community playground will be accessible and exciting for kids and families of all ages and abilities.  It will be designed and built from raw materials to reflect our unique community.  And, it will be centrally located so that families can enjoy more of what Mansfield has to offer all in one place.  After funds are raised, this playground will be built entirely by volunteers.  This community-built process will not only provide a place for families to meet and interact, but it will build relationships that will make our community stronger (qualifies for 60% tax credit).

• Improvements to Sunny Acres Park- Sunny Acres Park is located in a densely populated area of southern Mansfield.  It is the only town-owned active recreation area in this portion of Town  and serves moderate to low income residents.  The project would include: replacing and relocating the existing playscape, repair tennis court surface and replace tennis court fence, repair basketball court surface and replace basketball hoops, design and install new parking area. (Qualifies for 60% tax credit).

Applications for this program must be submitted to the CT Department of Revenue Services no later than July 2, 2012. More information about this program is available at www.ct.gov/drs/cwp/view.asp?a=1447&q=266058

If you are interested in participating in this program please contact Jessie Neborsky, Planning and Community Development Assistant, at 860-429-3330 or at SheaJL@MansfieldCT.org.
