What We Do<\/p>

CDFA has received five awards totaling $245 million in New Markets Tax Credits allocation, which includes the most recent NMTC allocation of $45 million in the 2024\/2025 CY round. Since receiving its first allocation in 2011, CDFA has made $160 million in direct NMTC investments in 17 community development and mixed-use projects in Utah.<\/h5>

New Markets Tax Credits – How they work<\/strong><\/h3>
The New Markets Tax Credits (NMTC) program was adopted in 2000, the result of a bipartisan effort to stimulate investment and economic growth in low-income neighborhoods and rural communities. The program was intended to provide access to patient capital to support the growth of businesses, create jobs and sustain healthy local economies.<\/h5>
Capital is attracted to eligible communities by providing private investors with a credit on their federal taxes for investments made in projects or businesses located in census tracts where the poverty rate is at least 20%, or where median family income does not exceed 80% of the area’s median income.<\/h5>
NMTC investors receive a tax credit equal to 39% of the Qualified Equity Investment (QEI) made in a Community Development Entity (CDE) over a seven-year period, receiving a 5% credit annually each of the first three years, and 6% in years four through seven. The CDE must then use substantially all of the Qualified Equity Investment to make investments into eligible projects or businesses in low-income communities. Investors may not redeem their investments in CDEs prior to the conclusion of the seven-year period.<\/h5>
