Tax Credits Finance Update

Features

Solar Capacity has Grown in NC by More Than 100%, Aided by Incentives
In recent years, North Carolina has emerged as a leader in the solar energy market, ranking third nationally for solar capacity behind California and Arizona. More than 200 solar-related companies exist in the state and approximately 2,436 megawatts of solar power has been installed.

Financing the Trump Infrastructure Plan
According to public finance and infrastructure experts, direct pay bonds similar to Build America Bonds, tax credits, P3s, and federal matching funds may wind up forming the backbone of Donald Trump's proposed 10-year $1 trillion infrastructure investment plan.

States Continue to Improve Transparency of Tax Incentive Programs
States have a number of tools at their disposal to promote economic policies. Supporters of lowered taxes on business argue that tax incentives are a great way to stimulate and support economic growth and equality. States have started to develop ways to address these critiques of tax incentive programs.

Audit Questions if Donated Lands in CO are Worth $1B in Tax Breaks
Colorado's nearly billion-dollar conservation easement program pays more attention to whether a land donation qualifies for a tax break than the merit of its conservation value to the state. About $965 million in tax credits have been approved on over 4,200 easement donations since January 2000.

End of the Road for NJ's Urban Enterprise Zone
A decades-old program aimed at giving an economic boost to struggling communities — known as the Urban Enterprise Zone — is scheduled to start shutting down in January. The program allows communities in which they're located to charge a reduced sales tax to draw more business.

OR's Rooftop Solar Tax Credit to Die
Extending the Residential Energy Tax Credit is a top priority of the Oregon solar industry in the upcoming legislative session, but it still hasn't made it on to Governor Kate Brown's list of things to do.

How CA Convinced Yamaha of America to Stay
Yamaha Corp. of America agreed to remain in California, rather than move to Texas or Tennessee, after the state granted it a $3 million tax break last month. The incentive rewards Yamaha for investing $46 million in a new California campus and creating 66 new full-time jobs.

LIHTC Is Not the Only Tax Credit at Stake
The future of the Federal Housing Tax Credit is uncertain. Legislators, eager to eliminate certain tax credits in order to make up for spending in other areas, could put the program on the chopping block.

Boeing Got Illegal Tax Break for Plane Made in WA State
Boeing received an illegal tax break from Washington state as part of $8.7 billion in aid to assemble the 777X and manufacture the jetliner's carbon-fiber wing there. The tax break gave an unfair advantage to the U.S. planemaker to the detriment of overseas manufacturers.

CO Rural Tax Credit Program to Create a Level Field
Colorado's Rural Jump-Start Tax Credit Program has helped put Mesa County on the radar of prospective businesses because it's a limited opportunity. The purpose of this was to create a competitive advantage that wouldn't exist otherwise.

Tax Credits Offer Hope for Rural Hospitals
The Rural Healthcare Tax Credit, which begins in January 2017, allows individuals and corporations to receive a 70 percent tax credit for donations to hospitals deemed Georgia's most vulnerable by the Department of Community Health. Total donations allowed under the tax credit in 2017 are $50 million.

Treasury Announces $7B Allocation of New Markets Tax Credits
The Treasury's CDFI Fund announced that 120 organizations nationwide will receive a total of $7 billion in New Markets Tax Credit awards. This is the largest single award round since the New Markets Tax Credit Program was created in 2001.
