High Performance Incentive Program

The HPIP provides tax incentives to eligible employers that pay above-average wages and have a strong commitment to skills development for their workers. This program recognizes the need for Kansas companies to remain competitive and encourages capital investment in facilities, technology, and continued employee training and education. A substantial investment tax credit for new capital investment in Kansas and a related sales tax exemption are the primary benefits of this program.

HPIP offers employers four potential benefits:

1. a 10 percent income tax credit for eligible capital investment that exceeds $50,000 at a company’s qualified business facility, with a carry-forward that can be used in any of the next 10 years in which the qualified business facility re-qualifies for HPIP. (The capital investment must be pre-identified on a CIPD form, which is available below.)
   
   
2. a sales tax exemption to use in conjunction with the company’s eligible capital investment at its qualified business facility.
   
   
3. a training tax credit of up to $50,000.
   
   
4. priority consideration for access to other business assistance programs offered through the State.
