Manufacturing & R&D in Qualifying Counties — Sales/Use Tax Deferral
Offers tax deferrals in Washington for qualified manufacturing and innovation facilities.
This deferral allows manufacturing businesses and R&D facilities in Washington counties with populations under 650,000 to postpone sales and use tax payments on qualifying investment projects. Per raw source: 'Applications close June 30, 2032.' Maximum deferral is $400,000 per applicant. Contact: DORDeferrals@dor.wa.gov. Not a competitive grant — there is no review panel or award cycle. Eligibility is statutory (qualifying county + qualifying investment activity). Like all DOR incentive programs, this is an entitlement-style preference claimed on excise returns.
Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
