Alaska Income Tax Withholding

The State of Alaska currently does not have an individual income tax, therefore no employee withholding for state income tax is required.

Alaska levies a corporate net income tax based on federal taxable income with certain Alaska adjustments. Multi-state corporations apportion income on water’s edge basis using the standard apportionment formula of property, payroll and sales.

Alaska Benefits

Alaska Voting Rights:
Employer Right to Schedule Voting Hours	Not Specified
Pay Deduction for Voting Time Leave	Prohibited

Alaska law does not specify the exact amount of leave time that must be granted. In fact, employers do not have to allow employees time off if the employees have at least two consecutive hours before or after their work shifts during which the polls are open. Employers cannot deduct from employees' wages payment for the time spent voting.
