What it does
During the 2022 legislative session, House File 2317 was enacted which gradually reduced the refundability of the historic preservation tax credit commencing with the tax year beginning January 1, 2023, until percent of the credit in excess of tax liability is refundable for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2027. Previously, the tax credit was 100 percent refundable. House File 2317 also enacted a provision preserving existing rights to the tax credit issued, awarded, or allowed prior to January 1, 2023, to reduce the effect House File 2317 had on existing tax credits being awarded. This bill expands the applicability of the preservation of existing rights provision from January 1, 2023, to July 1, 2023, to tax credits issued, awarded, or allowed prior to July 1, 2023.
