Section 19:31Z-1.13 - Application for tax credit transfer certificate; assignment
(a) A developer may apply to the Director and the Chief Executive Officer of the Authority for a tax credit transfer certificate, during the privilege period in which the Director issues the developer a tax credit pursuant to section 16 at P.L. 2020, c. 156 (N.J.S.A. 34:1B-284) and N.J.A.C. 19:31Z-1.12. The tax credit transfer certificate, upon receipt thereof by the developer from the Director and the Chief Executive Officer of the Authority, may be sold or assigned, in full or in part, in an amount not less than $ 25,000, in the privilege period during which the developer receives the tax credit transfer certificate from the Director, to another person, who may apply the credit against a tax liability pursuant to section 5 at P.L. 1945, c. 162 (N.J.S.A. 54:10A-5), sections 2 and 3 at P.L. 1945, c. 132 (N.J.S.A. 54:18A-2 and 54:18A-3), section 1 at P.L. 1950, c. 231 (N.J.S.A. 17:32-15), or N.J.S.A. 17B:23-5.
(b) The developer shall not sell a tax credit transfer certificate allowed pursuant to this section for consideration received by the developer or less than 85 percent of the transferred credit amount before considering any further discounting to present value that shall be permitted, except a developer of a residential project consisting of newly constructed residential units that have received Federal low income housing tax credits pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 42(b)(1)(B)(i) may assign a tax credit transfer certificate for consideration of no less than 75 percent subject to the submission of a plan to the Authority and the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency to use the proceeds derived from the assignment of tax credits to complete the residential project.
(c) A purchaser or assignee of a tax credit transfer certificate pursuant to this section shall not make any subsequent transfers, assignments, or sales of the tax credit transfer certificate.
