2016 OPIF Tax Credit Auction Announced for July 11-15

opif_auction_2016The Oregon Department of Revenue will once again be conducting a tax credit auction for the Oregon Production Investment Fund (OPIF) in July. The auction is open to all Oregon tax payers. The total amount of tax credits to be auctioned this year will be $12 million.

The process will be exactly the same as the successful auction conducted last July. This is the largest amount of tax credits we have had available at one time, so it is a great opportunity for people who may have missed out on the previous auctions.

We will be working hard to make sure all the tax credits sell out in the designated time frame. If we are successful in this goal, this will be the only opportunity for people to contribute to the fund and receive OPIF tax credits for 2016.

The online auction will begin July 11, 2016 at 9 am PDT at the following link:
