Alaska Pipeline Tax Deal Nears Vote | Anchorage News

Alaska lawmakers are racing against time to pass a pivotal bill that could unlock a massive natural gas pipeline project, with a final vote looming Thursday before the special session ends. House Bill 381, a compromise between the House and Senate, replaces the current property tax with a volumetric tax tied to gas flow—but the deal hinges on resolving a contentious S-corp tax provision that would extend corporate income tax to pass-through entities. While some senators see it as closing a loophole, the House, developers, and Governor Dunleavy oppose it. Conference Committee Chair Calvin Schrage calls the revised version a “true compromise,” but with the clock ticking and developers yet to review the latest draft, the fate of the pipeline—and potentially future energy exports to Asia—rests on a single vote.
