Taxpayers can now access a new, nonrefundable insurance premium tax credit for capital contributions to certain “transformational mixed use developments” (TMUDs). Amended Substitute Senate Bill 39, a piece of legislation finished during the recent lame duck session and signed into law by Ohio Governor DeWine on December 29, 2020, allows property owners or insurance companies to apply to the Ohio Tax Credit Authority for certification and preliminary approval of tax credits against taxes imposed on insurance companies under R.C. Section 5725.18 or R.C. SECTION 5729.03. The Tax Credit Authority is limited to awarding $100 million per year (with individual projects capped at $40 million each). Rural areas received a set-aside under the legislation of $20 million per year in available tax credits. Once awarded, the tax credits may be sold or transferred to raise capital for certified projects. To be eligible, projects must meet four requirements. For more, read the full article.
