Aug. 1, 2023: Factors Influencing the Tax Credit Market: Demand

Tax Credit Tuesday Podcasts

While the supply of community development tax incentives is a multi-billion-dollar annual market for tax credits that include the low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC), new markets tax credit (NMTC), historic tax credit (HTC) and various clean/renewable energy tax credits (RETCs), the demand for such credits plays a major role in determining their value. On this week's Tax Credit Tuesday, Michael Novogradac, CPA, is joined by Novogradac partners Tony Grappone, CPA; Dirk Wallace, CPA; and Brad Elphick, CPA; for Part 2 of a two-part podcast series on the entire tax credit equity market. They look at how the current state of the economy affects tax credit demand, how recent bank problems affected the market and how new transferability and elective pay mechanisms for clean energy credits might affect demand. They then talk about how proposed global minimum tax, expected Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) reform, a recent change in the proportional amortization accounting method with tax credits and environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing could or do affect demand.
