An Act allowing the clawback of Massachusetts historic rehabilitation tax credits.

 

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
 

SECTION 1. Paragraph (1) of subsection (g) of section 6J of chapter 62 of the General Laws, as appearing in the 2014 Official Edition, is hereby amended by striking out the paragraph in its entirety and inserting in place thereof the following paragraph:-

“(1) If, before the end of the 5 year period beginning on the date on which the qualified historic structure received final certification and was placed in service, the taxpayer disposes of the taxpayer’s interest in the structure, the taxpayer’s tax for the taxable year in which the disposition occurs shall be increased by the recapture amount. Any carry forward credit shall be adjusted by reason of the disposition. If, during or after the end of the same 5 year period, the taxpayer disposes of the taxpayer’s interest in the structure to an entity which is not required to pay property taxes, the taxpayer’s tax for the year in which the disposition occurs shall be increased by the entire recapture amount that would have been calculated for the year on which the qualified historic structure received final certification and was placed in service.”

“(1) If, before the end of the 5 year period beginning on the date on which the qualified historic structure received final certification and was placed in service, the taxpayer disposes of the taxpayer’s interest in the structure, the taxpayer’s tax for the taxable year in which the disposition occurs shall be increased by the recapture amount. Any carry forward credit shall be adjusted by reason of the disposition. If, during or after the end of the same 5 year period, the taxpayer disposes of the taxpayer’s interest in the structure to an entity which is not required to pay property taxes, the taxpayer’s tax for the year in which the disposition occurs shall be increased by the entire recapture amount that would have been calculated for the year on which the qualified historic structure received final certification and was placed in service.”
