Introduced by: Mary Margaret Whipple | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Community Housing Tax Credit. Establishes a tax credit that would replace the current low-income housing tax credit. Any developer or investor who builds or substantially rehabilitates a multifamily housing project that qualifies for the federal low-income housing tax credit would be eligible for a tax credit equal to 50% of the cost to acquire the land for the multifamily housing project. However, the credit would not exceed an amount equal to $5,000 multiplied by the number of low-income housing units placed in service as a result of the project. The developer or investor would not be able to claim more than $500,000 in tax credit in any taxable year. The credit would have a five-year carryover period. Any unused credit could be transferred to another taxpayer for use on a Virginia income tax return. The Board of Housing and Community Development would be required to promulgate guidelines for the credit.
