Kentucky begins Renewable Chemical Production Program By Sean Southard Frankfort, KY - Kentucky companies can now apply for the state's Renewable Chemical Production Program, Commissioner of Agriculture Dr. Ryan Quarles has announced.

The Kentucky Department of Agriculture will help administer the program, coordinating with the Kentucky Department of Revenue in awarding the tax credits to eligible companies producing renewable chemicals. To be eligible for the renewable chemical production tax credit, a business must:
Complete applications along with the required $500 compliance fee must be filed with the Kentucky Department of Agriculture by Jan. 15, 2022. This story was posted on 2021-12-22 11:10:12
