3. Capital Investment Tax Credit - This program allows qualified companies to claim tax credit against Alabama income tax liability generated by or arising out of a qualifying Alabama project, not to exceed 5% of initial capital cost annually and also not to exceed twenty years from the date the qualifying project is placed in service. 

Additional, non-statutory, local incentives may be available as well, and are determined on a case-by-case basis.
