Income tax allocationIn 2016, Missouri led the nation as the only state that allowed companies to annually select from either three-factor (property, payroll and sales) or single-factor (sales only) income tax apportionment. Today, Missouri is one of only two states to offer this strategic advantage for manufacturing and service companies. Under the single factor formula, your corporate tax rate is based on total income multiplied by the percentage of in-state sales. If you are manu-facturing goods in Missouri, but selling them outside the state, the single factor formula gives Missouri’s manufacturing companies a strategic cost advantage.
In short, Missouri will not penalize you for locat-ing within our borders.
Missouri provides you with a solid business foundation, financial and otherwise. In Missouri, taxes and business costs don’t eat up all of your company’s profits.
Tax exemptions for manufacturersManufacturers locating in Missouri enjoy numerous tax advantages, including:• Sales/use tax exemption on machinery and
equipment used to establish a new or expand an existing facility
• Property tax exemption for inventories• State sales tax & local use tax exemption on
energy purchases

Certified SitesMissouri’s Certified Sites Program also reduces your risk by ensuring there has already been a comprehensive review of items including the availability of utilities, site access, environmental concerns, land use conformance, and potential site development costs. Having a site “certified” reduces the risk associated with development of particular sites by providing up front and con-sistent information. Additionally, Missouri’s 50+ years of a AAA bond rating is representative of our solid financial acumen and stable financial foundations.
Missouri has over 75 rail served sites of 50+ acres or more and 330 industrial facilities with more than 50,000+ square feet (LocationOne as of 11/22/2016).
