Advanced Industry Investment Tax Credit Program Summary

The Advanced Industry Investment Tax Credit (AITC) encourages third-party investments in Colorado advanced industries businesses by incentivizing investors with state income tax credits.

First, Colorado businesses in the advanced industry sectors apply to be certified as an advanced industry business. They then use that status to attract Colorado investors who can earn a state income tax credit by investing in certified advanced industry businesses.

Investors can earn a tax credit of 25% of their investment up to a maximum $100,000 credit on an investment of $10,000 or more. If the advanced industries business is in a Colorado enterprise zone or rural county, investors can earn a state income tax credit of 35% of their investment.

An investor can only earn a single tax credit per business, but individual investors can receive credits for investing in multiple certified businesses, and multiple investors can earn a credit for investing in the same business. OEDIT reviews the applications in the order they're received until $4,000,000 of credits have been awarded in a given calendar year (the pool of credits will be reduced to $2.5M starting in the calendar year of 2027). Once the credit pool is exhausted no more credits are awarded, so an investor is not guaranteed a tax credit when they make a qualified investment in a certified business.

Please read the drop-down tabs below for important information on qualification, timing, and the application process for businesses and investors.
