404A.4  Project completion and tax credit certification--credit refund.

1.  Upon completion of the rehabilitation project, a certification of completion must be obtained from the state historic preservation office of the department of cultural affairs. A completion certificate shall identify the person claiming the tax credit under this chapter and the rehabilitation costs incurred up to the two years preceding the completion date.

2.  After verifying the eligibility for the tax credit, the state historic preservation office, in consultation with the department of economic development, shall issue a property rehabilitation tax credit certificate to be attached to the person's tax return. The tax credit certificate shall contain the taxpayer's name, address, tax identification number, the date of project completion, the amount of credit, and other information required by the department of revenue and finance.

3.  A person receiving a property rehabilitation tax credit under this chapter which is in excess of the person's tax liability for the tax year is entitled to a refund of the excess at a discounted value. The discounted value of the tax credit refund, as calculated by the department of economic development, in consultation with the department of revenue and finance, shall be determined based on the discounted value of the tax credit five years after the tax year of the project completion at an interest rate equivalent to the prime rate plus two percent. The refunded tax credit shall not exceed seventy-five percent of the allowable tax credit.

4.  The total amount of tax credits that may be approved for a fiscal year under this chapter shall not exceed two million four hundred thousand dollars. Tax credit certificates shall be issued on the basis of the earliest awarding of certifications of completion as provided in subsection 1. The departments of economic development and revenue and finance shall each adopt rules to jointly administer this subsection and shall provide by rule for the method to be used to determine for which fiscal year the tax credits are approved.
