Tax Incentives for the Mining Industry

Reviewed and updated September 2026

Mining companies may improve cash flow and reduce tax liability through Research and Development (R&D) Tax Credits, Cost Segregation, Fixed Asset Studies, Transfer Pricing, IC-DISC, and other federal, state, and local tax incentives. The opportunities available depend on the company’s mining and extraction activities, processing operations, property and equipment investments, research and development projects, and specific business circumstances.
