Provides CBT and gross income tax credits for replacement of abandoned commercial building with new commercial building.
This bill provides tax credits to commercial property owners who demolish abandoned buildings (over 100,000 sq ft) and replace them with new commercial structures on the same site. It offers a credit equal to 25% of redevelopment costs, capped at $500,000 per project, with a total state-wide limit of $5 million across all projects. To qualify, owners must apply to the Division of Taxation for certification showing demolition and construction occurred, and the credit can be carried forward if not fully used in one tax year. The credit applies against both the state's privilege tax and gross income tax, aiming to incentivize revitalizing vacant commercial properties.
