The New Markets Tax Credit Program (NMTC Program) aims to break this cycle of disinvestment by attracting the private investment necessary to reinvigorate struggling local economies.
The NMTC Program attracts private capital into low-income communities by permitting individual and corporate investors to receive a tax credit against their federal income tax in exchange for making equity investments in specialized financial intermediaries calledCommunity Development Entities (CDEs). The credit totals 39% of the original investment amount and is claimed over a period of seven years.
For more information, please see our NMTC Program Fact Sheet"). A detailed overview of the NMTC Program, including information on eligible activities, can also be found in the Introduction to the NMTC Program presentation. IRS Materials and Reference Documents NMTC Program applicants must be certified as CDEs by the CDFI Fund.
For more information on CDE Certification, please see ourCDE Certification page CDE Certification is intended for community development financing intermediaries. Businesses seeking NMTC-enhanced financing should not apply for CDE Certification, but should instead contact CDEs directly.
