Recycling Market Development Zones (code 10)

Visit the following web sites for more information:

The Utah Recycling Market Development Zone Program focuses on recycling as an economic development tool by assisting businesses that collect, process, distribute or use recycled materials in their manufacturing operations, or compost.

Note: This nonrefundable credit may not be claimed or a credit carried forward into a year that the targeted business income tax credit or the enterprise zone credit have been claimed.

Eligible recycling businesses located in designated Recycling Market Development Zones qualify for:

  • 5% Utah tax credit on machinery and equipment;
  • 20% Utah tax credit (up to $2,000) on eligible new expenditures;
  • technical assistance from Utah recycling economic development professionals; and
  • various local incentives.

Qualifying businesses must be certified by the Governor's Office of Economic Development (GOED). To claim the credit, complete form TC-40R, Recycling Market Development Zone Tax Credit, with the GOED certification verifying the credit has been approved. Do not submit this form with your return; keep it with your tax records. For more detail, see Utah Code §59-10-108.7 and §63-38f-1102.
