Bill > HB100

This bill establishes a new 5% tax on federal political campaign spending within the state of Alaska. The tax applies to all campaign expenditures, including spending on media, salaries, consultants, and any expenses that must be reported to the Federal Election Commission (FEC). Campaign organizations will be responsible for collecting the tax at the time the expenditure is made and must remit the funds to the state department according to regulations that will be developed. The tax is additional to any existing municipal taxes and does not replace them. The bill will go into effect on January 1, 2026, giving campaigns and tax authorities time to prepare for the new requirement. By implementing this tax, the state aims to generate revenue from federal campaign activities while creating an additional financial consideration for political campaigns operating in Alaska.
