This presentation provides a detailed overview of the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) program, aimed at promoting investment in low-income communities. It covers the program’s background, structure, and claiming processes, including the application and award processes for Community Development Entities (CDEs). Key aspects like leveraged structures, avoiding credit recapture, and examples of qualified low-income community investments are discussed to illustrate how NMTCs can foster community growth and development.
