N.J. Admin. Code § 19:31H-1.4

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 21, November 4, 2024

Section 19:31H-1.4 - Restrictions

(a) A business shall not be allowed urban transit hub tax credits if:

1. The business participates in a Business Employment Incentive Program agreement pursuant to P.L. 1996, c. 26 (N.J.S.A. 34:1B-124 et seq.) relating to the same capital investment, employees, and site that qualify the business for urban transit hub tax credits; or

2. The business receives assistance from the Business Retention and Relocation Assistance Grant Program pursuant to P.L. 1996, c. 25 (N.J.S.A. 34:1B-112 et seq.).

(b) A business that is allowed a tax credit under this section shall not be eligible for incentives authorized by the Municipal Rehabilitation and Economic Recovery Act pursuant to P.L. 2002, c. 43 (N.J.S.A. 52:27BBB-1 et seq.).

(c) A business shall not qualify for a tax credit based upon capital investment and employment of full-time employees, if that capital investment or employment was the basis for which a grant was provided to the business pursuant to the InvestNJ Business Grant Program Act, P.L. 2008, c. 112 (N.J.S.A. 34:1B-237 et seq.).

(d) Capital investments in a qualified business facility must be incurred after January 13, 2008, the effective date of P.L. 2007, c. 346. An approved business must submit its documentation for approval of its credit amount before the end of the eighth year after the effective date, and thus, before January 13, 2016, if its application was submitted to and approved by the Authority prior to September 18, 2013, the effective date of the New Jersey Economic Opportunity Act of 2013, P.L. 2013, c. 161. The credit amount allowed for a tax period ending after January 16, 2016 during which documentation of a business's credit amount remains unapproved shall be forfeited, although credit amounts for the remainder of the 10 years shall remain available to it. This eight-year limit is expected to afford businesses applying toward the end of the five-year application period at least three years to complete the project. If the Authority approved the business's application on or after September 18, 2013, and on or before December 31, 2013, the business shall submit its documentation for approval of its credit amount no later than April 26, 2019, and the credit amount for any tax period ending after July 28, 2019, during which the documentation of the business's credit amount remains uncertified shall be forfeited, although credit amounts for the remainder of the years of the 10-year credit period shall remain available to it. Capital investments in a qualified residential facility must be incurred after July 28, 2009, the effective date of P.L. 2009, c. 90, and developers shall submit their documentation to support the amount of their capital investment no later than April 26, 2019. Other documentation may be submitted after that date, but the credit amount for any tax period during which the documentation of the business's credit amount remains uncertified after July 28, 2019, shall be forfeited, although credit amounts for the remainder of the years shall remain available to it.

(e) If a business participating in a Business Employment Incentive Program agreement for the same capital investment, employees, and site or receiving assistance from the Business Retention and Relocation Assistance Grant Program, InvestNJ Business Grant Program, or incentives authorized by the Municipal Rehabilitation and Economic Recovery Act, seeks to qualify for urban transit hub tax credits, it shall first repay and terminate assistance pursuant to the rules governing the Business Employment Incentive Program, Business Retention and Relocation Assistance Grant Program, InvestNJ Business Grant Program or Municipal Rehabilitation and Economic Recovery Act, as applicable.
