Moses Lake has been blessed by the generosity of local business in supporting the revitalization efforts of MLBA. The three year total to date is over $330,000 contributed for revitalization and beautification of our community. The Moses Lake Business Association has participated in Washington State Department of Revenue’s Main Street Tax Credit Incentive Program for three years. This program, authorized by Washington State Legislators in 2005, diverts $1.5 Million in Business and Occupation (B&O) tax to be used for revitalization of local communities. Each approved nonprofit revitalization organization (such as MLBA) can raise up to $100,000 in B&O tax credits annually for use in their community. In effect, this refocuses a portion of your B&O tax dollars toward your community. Any business filing B&O tax electronically can apply to contribute any amount to their local organization and receive 75% credit on next years B&O tax.
