MADISON, Wis. – Accounting and advisory firm Baker Tilly Virchow Krause (Baker Tilly) has launched a new, interactive online mapping tool that helps users determine if a business or development project may qualify under various criteria for the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) or Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program.
The NMTC made more than $30 billion in direct NMTC investments from 2003 to 2012 to businesses in low-income areas and leveraged a total of $60 billion, with the majority of these investments being in communities exhibiting severe economic distress. A total of 310 applications received under the 2013/2014 round of the program, requesting an aggregate total of $25.8 billion in allocation authority, are competing for a share of the $3.5 billion authorized. Through the LIHTC program, more than two million housing units have been placed in service between 1987 and 2011, with an average of more than 105,000 units placed in service each year.
“NMTC and LIHTC are important vehicles for investment in communities and meeting critical housing needs in our nation,” said Terri Preston, a Baker Tilly transactions team principal specializing in commercial and real estate finance. “The programs also provide vital capital our clients need to achieve their growth objectives while investing in transactions that will enrich communities throughout the U.S.”
