New Markets Tax Credits

New Markets Tax Credits (NMTC) provide incentives for bringing jobs, businesses, and economic growth to distressed communities. The NMTC Program offers growth-oriented investors a cost effective method to enter underserved markets, but the process — from certification through closing — is complicated. As a nationally renowned NMTC advisor and pioneer, we are the go-to firm for investors, developers, and community oriented organizations. Our experts guide you through the entire lifecycle of your program. We prepare and submit Community Development Entity (CDE) certifications, file CDFI Fund data, conduct annual audits and reporting, address state and local tax issues, and provide transaction advisory and compilation services for qualified businesses in low-income communities.

COMPREHENSIVE SERVICE

CohnReznick provides comprehensive assurance, tax, transactional, and consulting services to investors, CDEs, and end-users of NMTC capital. Involved in the program since its inception, we also serve as NMTC advocates for our clients, before Congress, and in support of industry participants and coalitions.

MAINTAIN COMPLIANCE

As a federal program, the NMTC Program is tightly controlled, and CDEs are faced with numerous regulatory and programmatic rules. Experts in the requirements of the CDFI Fund and the IRS, we can help you maintain full program compliance with your allocation agreement, Internal Revenue Code Section 45D, and in submitting all required documentation to both agencies.

MINIMIZE YOUR NMTC TRANSACTION TAX OBLIGATIONS

We mitigate the impact of various federal and state taxes in your NMTC liquidation transaction. Specifically, we address original issue discount regulations, fee allocations with regard to deductibility timing, the impact of fees on recipients, QEI/investor redemption calculations under the Section 45D Safe Harbor provision, and imputed interest calculations, among other considerations.

SERVING YOUR NMTC PROGRAM NEEDS – FROM CERTIFICATION TO CLOSING

CohnReznick is your partner through the entire life cycle of your participation in the NMTC Program — from your certification as a CDE through the monetization of your credits.
