    (b) Allowance of credit--(1) In general. For purposes of the general 
business credit under section 38, a taxpayer holding a qualified equity 
investment on a credit allowance date which occurs during the taxable 
year may claim the new markets tax credit determined under section 45D 
and this section for such taxable year in an amount equal to the 
applicable percentage of the amount paid to a qualified community 
development entity (CDE) for such investment at its original issue. 
Qualified equity investment is defined in paragraph (c) of this section. 
Credit allowance date is defined in paragraph (b)(2) of this section. 
Applicable percentage is defined in paragraph (b)(3) of this section. A 
CDE is a qualified community development entity as defined in section 
45D(c). The amount paid at original issue is determined under paragraph 
(b)(4) of this section.
    (2) Credit allowance date. The term credit allowance date means, 
with respect to any qualified equity investment--
    (i) The date on which the investment is initially made; and
    (ii) Each of the 6 anniversary dates of such date thereafter.
    (3) Applicable percentage. The applicable percentage is 5 percent 
for the first 3 credit allowance dates and 6 percent for the other 4 
credit allowance dates.
    (4) Amount paid at original issue. The amount paid to the CDE for a 
qualified equity investment at its original issue consists of all 
amounts paid by the taxpayer to, or on behalf of, the CDE (including any 
underwriter's fees) to purchase the investment at its original issue.
    (c) Qualified equity investment--(1) In general. The term qualified 
equity investment means any equity investment (as defined in paragraph 
(c)(2) of this section) in a CDE if--
    (i) The investment is acquired by the taxpayer at its original issue 
(directly or through an underwriter) solely in exchange for cash;
    (ii) Substantially all (as defined in paragraph (c)(5) of this 
section) of such cash is used by the CDE to make qualified low-income 
community investments (as defined in paragraph (d)(1) of this section); 
and
    (iii) The investment is designated for purposes of section 45D and 
this section by the CDE on its books and records using any reasonable 
method.
    (2) Equity investment. The term equity investment means any stock 
(other than nonqualified preferred stock as defined in section 
351(g)(2)) in an entity that is a corporation for Federal tax purposes 
and any capital interest in an entity that is a partnership for Federal 
tax purposes. See Secs. 301.7701-1 through 301.7701-3 of this chapter 
for rules governing when a business entity, such as a business trust or 
limited liability company, is classified as a corporation or a 
partnership for Federal tax purposes.
    (3) Equity investments made prior to allocation--(i) In general. 
Except as provided in paragraph (c)(3)(ii) of this section, an equity 
investment in an entity is not eligible to be designated as a qualified 
equity investment if it is made before the entity enters into an 
allocation agreement with the Secretary. An allocation agreement is an 
agreement between the Secretary and a CDE relating to a new markets tax 
credit allocation under section 45D(f)(2).
    (ii) Exception. Notwithstanding paragraph (c)(3)(i) of this section, 
an equity investment in an entity is eligible to be designated as a 
qualified equity investment under paragraph (c)(1)(iii) of this section 
if--
    (A) The equity investment is made on or after April 20, 2001;
    (B) The entity in which the equity investment is made is certified 
by the Secretary as a CDE under section 45D(c) before January 1, 2003;
    (C) The entity in which the equity investment is made receives 
notification of the credit allocation (with the actual receipt of such 
credit allocation contingent upon subsequently entering into an 
allocation agreement) from the Secretary before January 1, 2003; and
    (D) The equity investment otherwise satisfies the requirements of 
section 45D and this section.

[[Page 220]]

    (iii) Initial investment date. If an equity investment is designated 
as a qualified equity investment in accordance with paragraph (c)(3)(ii) 
of this section, the investment is treated as initially made on the 
effective date of the allocation agreement between the CDE and the 
Secretary.
    (4) Limitations--(i) In general. The term qualified equity 
investment does not include--
    (A) Any equity investment issued by a CDE more than 5 years after 
the date the CDE enters into an allocation agreement (as defined in 
paragraph (c)(3)(i) of this section) with the Secretary; and
    (B) Any equity investment by a CDE in another CDE, if the CDE making 
the investment has received an allocation under section 45D(f)(2).
    (ii) Allocation limitation. The maximum amount of equity investments 
issued by a CDE that may be designated under paragraph (c)(1)(iii) of 
this section by the CDE may not exceed the portion of the limitation 
amount allocated to the CDE by the Secretary under section 45D(f)(2).
    (5) Substantially all--(i) In general. Except as provided in 
paragraph (c)(5)(v) of this section, the term substantially all means at 
least 85 percent. The substantially-all requirement must be satisfied 
for each annual period in the 7-year credit period using either the 
direct-tracing calculation under paragraph (c)(5)(ii) of this section, 
or the safe harbor calculation under paragraph (c)(5)(iii) of this 
section. The substantially-all requirement is treated as satisfied for 
an annual period if either the direct-tracing calculation under 
paragraph (c)(5)(ii) of this section, or the safe harbor calculation 
under paragraph (c)(5)(iii) of this section, is performed every six 
months and the average of the two calculations for the annual period is 
at least 85 percent. For purposes of this paragraph (c)(5)(i), the 7-
year credit period means the period of 7 years beginning on the date the 
qualified equity investment is initially made. See paragraph (c)(6) of 
this section for circumstances in which a CDE may treat more than one 
equity investment as a single qualified equity investment.
    (ii) Direct-tracing calculation. The substantially-all requirement 
is satisfied if at least 85 percent of the taxpayer's investment is 
directly traceable to qualified low-income community investments as 
defined in paragraph (d)(1) of this section. The direct-tracing 
calculation is a fraction the numerator of which is the CDE's aggregate 
cost basis determined under section 1012 in all of the qualified low-
income community investments that are directly traceable to the 
taxpayer's cash investment, and the denominator of which is the amount 
of the taxpayer's cash investment under paragraph (b)(4) of this 
section. For purposes of this paragraph (c)(5)(ii), cost basis includes 
the cost basis of any qualified low-income community investment that 
becomes worthless. See paragraph (d)(2) of this section for the 
treatment of amounts received by a CDE in payment of, or for, capital, 
equity or principal with respect to a qualified low-income community 
investment.
    (iii) Safe harbor calculation. The substantially-all requirement is 
satisfied if at least 85 percent of the aggregate gross assets of the 
CDE are invested in qualified low-income community investments as 
defined in paragraph (d)(1) of this section. The safe harbor calculation 
is a fraction the numerator of which is the CDE's aggregate cost basis 
determined under section 1012 in all of its qualified low-income 
community investments, and the denominator of which is the CDE's 
aggregate cost basis determined under section 1012 in all of its assets. 
For purposes of this paragraph (c)(5)(iii), cost basis includes the cost 
basis of any qualified low-income community investment that becomes 
worthless. See paragraph (d)(2) of this section for the treatment of 
amounts received by a CDE in payment of, or for, capital, equity or 
principal with respect to a qualified low-income community investment.
    (iv) Time limit for making investments. The taxpayer's cash 
investment received by a CDE is treated as invested in a qualified low-
income community investment as defined in paragraph (d)(1) of this 
section only to the extent that the cash is so invested no later than 12 
months after the date the cash

[[Page 221]]

is paid by the taxpayer (directly or through an underwriter) to the CDE.
    (v) Reduced substantially-all percentage. For purposes of the 
substantially-all requirement (including the direct-tracing calculation 
under paragraph (c)(5)(ii) of this section and the safe harbor 
calculation under paragraph (c)(5)(iii) of this section), 85 percent is 
reduced to 75 percent for the seventh year of the 7-year credit period 
(as defined in paragraph (c)(5)(i) of this section).
    (6) Aggregation of equity investments. A CDE may treat any qualified 
equity investments issued on the same day as one qualified equity 
investment. If a CDE aggregates equity investments under this paragraph 
(c)(6), the rules in this section shall be construed in a manner 
consistent with that treatment.
    (7) Subsequent purchasers. A qualified equity investment includes 
any equity investment that would (but for paragraph (c)(1)(i) of this 
section) be a qualified equity investment in the hands of the taxpayer 
if the investment was a qualified equity investment in the hands of a 
prior holder.
    (d) Qualified low-income community investments--(1) In general. The 
term qualified low-income community investment means any of the 
following--
    (i) Investment in a qualified active low-income community business. 
Any capital or equity investment in, or loan to, any qualified active 
low-income community business (as defined in paragraph (d)(4) of this 
section).
    (ii) Purchase of certain loans from CDEs. The purchase from another 
CDE (whether or not that CDE has received an allocation from the 
Secretary under section 45D(f)(2)) of any loan made by such entity that 
is a qualified low-income community investment. A loan purchased from 
another CDE is a qualified low-income community investment if it 
qualifies as such either--
    (A) At the time the selling CDE made the loan; or
    (B) At the time the loan is purchased from the selling CDE.
    (iii) Financial counseling and other services. Financial counseling 
and other services (as defined in paragraph (d)(7) of this section) 
provided to any qualified active low-income community business, or to 
any residents of a low-income community (as defined in section 45D(e)).
    (iv) Investments in other CDEs. Any equity investment in, or loan 
to, any CDE, but only to the extent that the CDE in which the equity 
investment or loan is made uses the proceeds of the investment or loan 
in a manner--
    (A) That is described in paragraphs (d)(1)(i) or (iii) of this 
section; and
    (B) That would constitute a qualified low-income community 
investment if it were made directly by the CDE making such equity 
investment or loan.
    (2) Payments of, or for, capital, equity or principal--(i) In 
general. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph (d)(2), amounts 
received by a CDE in payment of, or for, capital, equity or principal 
with respect to a qualified low-income community investment must be 
reinvested by the CDE in a qualified low-income community investment no 
later than 12 months from the date of receipt to be treated as 
continuously invested in a qualified low-income community investment. If 
the amounts received by the CDE are equal to or greater than the cost 
basis of the original qualified low-income community investment (or 
applicable portion thereof), and the CDE reinvests, in accordance with 
this paragraph (d)(2)(i), an amount at least equal to such original cost 
basis, then an amount equal to such original cost basis will be treated 
as continuously invested in a qualified low-income community investment. 
In addition, if the amounts received by the CDE are equal to or greater 
than the cost basis of the original qualified low-income community 
investment (or applicable portion thereof), and the CDE reinvests, in 
accordance with this paragraph (d)(2)(i), an amount less than such 
original cost basis, then only the amount so reinvested will be treated 
as continuously invested in a qualified low-income community investment. 
If the amounts received by the CDE are less than the cost basis of the 
original qualified low-income community investment (or applicable 
portion thereof), and the CDE reinvests an amount in accordance with 
this paragraph (d)(2)(i), then the amount treated as continuously 
invested in a qualified low-income community investment

[[Page 222]]

will equal the excess (if any) of such original cost basis over the 
amounts received by the CDE that are not so reinvested. Amounts received 
by a CDE in payment of, or for, capital, equity or principal with 
respect to a qualified low-income community investment during the 
seventh year of the 7-year credit period (as defined in paragraph 
(c)(5)(i) of this section) do not have to be reinvested by the CDE in a 
qualified low-income community investment in order to be treated as 
continuously invested in a qualified low-income community investment.
    (ii) Subsequent reinvestments. In applying paragraph (d)(2)(i) of 
this section to subsequent reinvestments, the original cost basis is 
reduced by the amount (if any) by which the original cost basis exceeds 
the amount determined to be continuously invested in a qualified low-
income community investment.
    (iii) Special rule for loans. Periodic amounts received during a 
calendar year as repayment of principal on a loan that is a qualified 
low-income community investment are treated as continuously invested in 
a qualified low-income community investment if the amounts are 
reinvested in another qualified low-income community investment by the 
end of the following calendar year.
    (iv) Example. The application of paragraphs (d)(2)(i) and (ii) of 
this section is illustrated by the following example:

    Example. On April 1, 2003, A, B, and C each pay $100,000 to acquire 
a capital interest in X, a partnership. X is a CDE that has received a 
new markets tax credit allocation from the Secretary. X treats the 3 
partnership interests as one qualified equity investment under paragraph 
(c)(6) of this section. In August 2003, X uses the $300,000 to make a 
qualified low-income community investment under paragraph (d)(1) of this 
section. In August 2005, the qualified low-income community investment 
is redeemed for $250,000. In February 2006, X reinvests $230,000 of the 
$250,000 in a second qualified low-income community investment and uses 
the remaining $20,000 for operating expenses. Under paragraph (d)(2)(i) 
of this section, $280,000 of the proceeds of the qualified equity 
investment is treated as continuously invested in a qualified low-income 
community investment. In December 2008, X sells the second qualified 
low-income community investment and receives $400,000. In March 2009, X 
reinvests $320,000 of the $400,000 in a third qualified low-income 
community investment. Under paragraphs (d)(2)(i) and (ii) of this 
section, $280,000 of the proceeds of the qualified equity investment is 
treated as continuously invested in a qualified low-income community 
investment ($40,000 is treated as invested in another qualified low-
income community investment in March 2009).

    (3) Special rule for reserves. Reserves (not in excess of 5 percent 
of the taxpayer's cash investment under paragraph (b)(4) of this 
section) maintained by the CDE for loan losses or for additional 
investments in existing qualified low-income community investments are 
treated as invested in a qualified low-income community investment under 
paragraph (d)(1) of this section.
    (4) Qualified active low-income community business--(i) In general. 
The term qualified active low-income community business means, with 
respect to any taxable year, a corporation (including a nonprofit 
corporation) or a partnership, if the requirements in paragraphs 
(d)(4)(i)(A), (B), (C), (D), and (E) of this section are met.
    (A) Gross-income requirement. At least 50 percent of the total gross 
income of such entity is derived from the active conduct of a qualified 
business (as defined in paragraph (d)(5) of this section) within any 
low-income community (as defined in section 45D(e)). An entity is deemed 
to satisfy this paragraph (d)(4)(i)(A) if the entity meets the 
requirements of either paragraph (d)(4)(i)(B) or (C) of this section, if 
``50 percent'' is applied instead of 40 percent. In addition, an entity 
may satisfy this paragraph (d)(4)(i)(A) based on all the facts and 
circumstances.
    (B) Use of tangible property. At least 40 percent of the use of the 
tangible property of such entity (whether owned or leased) is within any 
low-income community. This percentage is determined based on a fraction 
the numerator of which is the average value of the tangible property 
owned or leased by the entity and used by the entity during the taxable 
year in a low-income community and the denominator of which is the 
average value of the tangible property owned or leased by the entity and 
used by the entity during the taxable year. Property owned by the entity 
is valued at its cost basis as determined under section 1012. Property 
leased by the entity is valued at a

[[Page 223]]

reasonable amount established by the entity.
    (C) Services performed. At least 40 percent of the services 
performed for such entity by its employees are performed in a low-income 
community. This percentage is determined based on a fraction the 
numerator of which is the total amount paid by the entity for employee 
services performed in a low-income community during the taxable year and 
the denominator of which is the total amount paid by the entity for 
employee services during the taxable year.
    (D) Collectibles. Less than 5 percent of the average of the 
aggregate unadjusted bases of the property of such entity is 
attributable to collectibles (as defined in section 408(m)(2)) other 
than collectibles that are held primarily for sale to customers in the 
ordinary course of business.
    (E) Nonqualified financial property. Less than 5 percent of the 
average of the aggregate unadjusted bases of the property of such entity 
is attributable to nonqualified financial property (as defined in 
section 1397C(e)). Because the definition of nonqualified financial 
property in section 1397C(e) includes debt instruments with a term in 
excess of 18 months, banks, credit unions, and other financial 
institutions are generally excluded from the definition of a qualified 
active low-income community business.
    (ii) Proprietorships. Any business carried on by an individual as a 
proprietor is a qualified active low-income community business if the 
business would meet the requirements of paragraph (d)(4)(i) of this 
section if the business were incorporated.
    (iii) Portions of business. A CDE may treat any trade or business as 
a qualified active low-income community business if the trade or 
business would meet the requirements of paragraph (d)(4)(i) of this 
section if the trade or business were separately incorporated.
    (5) Qualified business--(i) In general. Except as otherwise provided 
in this paragraph (d)(5), the term qualified business means any trade or 
business. There is no requirement that employees of a qualified business 
be residents of a low-income community.
    (ii) Rental of real property. The rental to others of real property 
located in any low-income community (as defined in section 45D(e)) is a 
qualified business if and only if the property is not residential rental 
property (as defined in section 168(e)(2)(A)) and there are substantial 
improvements located on the real property.
    (iii) Exclusions--(A) Trades or businesses involving intangibles. 
The term qualified business does not include any trade or business 
consisting predominantly of the development or holding of intangibles 
for sale or license.
    (B) Certain other trades or businesses. The term qualified business 
does not include any trade or business consisting of the operation of 
any private or commercial golf course, country club, massage parlor, hot 
tub facility, suntan facility, racetrack or other facility used for 
gambling, or any store the principal business of which is the sale of 
alcoholic beverages for consumption off premises.
    (C) Farming. The term qualified business does not include any trade 
or business the principal activity of which is farming (within the 
meaning of section 2032A(e)(5)(A) or (B)) if, as of the close of the 
taxable year of the taxpayer conducting such trade or business, the sum 
of the aggregate unadjusted bases (or, if greater, the fair market 
value) of the assets owned by the taxpayer that are used in such a trade 
or business, and the aggregate value of the assets leased by the 
taxpayer that are used in such a trade or business, exceeds $500,000. 
For purposes of this paragraph (d)(5)(iii)(C), two or more trades or 
businesses will be treated as a single trade or business under rules 
similar to the rules of section 52(a) and (b).
    (6) Qualifications--(i) In general. Except as provided in paragraph 
(d)(6)(ii) of this section, an entity is treated as a qualified active 
low-income community business for the duration of the CDE's investment 
in the entity if the CDE reasonably expects, at the time the CDE makes 
the capital or equity investment in, or loan to, the entity,

[[Page 224]]

that the entity will satisfy the requirements to be a qualified active 
low-income community business under paragraph (d)(4)(i) of this section 
throughout the entire period of the investment or loan.
    (ii) Control--(A) In general. If a CDE controls or obtains control 
of an entity at any time during the 7-year credit period (as defined in 
paragraph (c)(5)(i) of this section), the entity will be treated as a 
qualified active low-income community business only if the entity 
satisfies the requirements of paragraph (d)(4)(i) of this section 
throughout the entire period the CDE controls the entity.
    (B) Definition of control. Generally, control means, with respect to 
an entity, direct or indirect ownership (based on value) or control 
(based on voting or management rights) of 33 percent or more of the 
entity. However, a CDE does not control an entity if an unrelated person 
possesses greater control over the entity than the CDE.
    (7) Financial counseling and other services. The term financial 
counseling and other services means advice provided by the CDE relating 
to the organization or operation of a trade or business.
    (e) Recapture--(1) In general. If, at any time during the 7-year 
period beginning on the date of the original issue of a qualified equity 
investment in a CDE, there is a recapture event under paragraph (e)(2) 
of this section with respect to such investment, then the tax imposed by 
Chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code for the taxable year in which the 
recapture event occurs is increased by the credit recapture amount under 
section 45D(g)(2). A recapture event under paragraph (e)(2) of this 
section requires recapture of credits allowed to the taxpayer who 
purchased the equity investment from the CDE at its original issue and 
to all subsequent holders of that investment.
    (2) Recapture event. There is a recapture event with respect to an 
equity investment in a CDE if--
    (i) The entity ceases to be a CDE;
    (ii) The proceeds of the investment cease to be used in a manner 
that satisfies the substantially-all requirement of paragraph (c)(1)(ii) 
of this section; or
    (iii) The investment is redeemed by the CDE.
    (3) Bankruptcy. Bankruptcy of a CDE is not a recapture event.
    (4) Waiver of requirement or extension of time--(i) In general. The 
Commissioner may waive a requirement or extend a deadline if such waiver 
or extension does not materially frustrate the purposes of section 45D 
and this section.
    (ii) Manner for requesting a waiver or extension. A CDE that 
believes it has good cause for a waiver or an extension may request 
relief from the Commissioner in a ruling request. The request should set 
forth all the relevant facts and include a detailed explanation 
describing the event or events relating to the request for a waiver or 
an extension. For further information on the application procedure for a 
ruling, see Rev. Proc. 2001-1 (2001-1 I.R.B. 1) (see Sec. 601.601(d)(2) 
of this chapter).
    (iii) Terms and conditions. The granting of a waiver or an extension 
to a CDE under this section may require adjustments of the CDE's 
requirements under section 45D and this section as may be appropriate.
    (5) Example. The application of this paragraph (e) is illustrated by 
the following example:

    Example. In 2003, A and B acquire separate qualified equity 
investments in X, a partnership. X is a CDE that has received a new 
markets tax credit allocation from the Secretary. X uses the proceeds of 
A's qualified equity investment to make a qualified low-income community 
investment in Y, and X uses the proceeds of B's qualified equity 
investment to make a qualified low-income community investment in Z. Y 
and Z are not CDEs. X controls both Y and Z within the meaning of 
paragraph (d)(6)(ii)(B) of this section. In 2003, Y and Z are qualified 
active low-income community businesses. In 2007, Y, but not Z, is a 
qualified active low-income community business and X does not satisfy 
the substantially-all requirement using the safe harbor calculation 
under paragraph (c)(5)(iii) of this section. A's equity investment 
satisfies the substantially-all requirement of paragraph (c)(1)(ii) of 
this section using the direct-tracing calculation of paragraph 
(c)(5)(ii) of this section because A's equity investment is traceable to 
Y. However, B's equity investment fails the substantially-all 
requirement using the direct-tracing calculation because B's equity 
investment is traceable to Z. Therefore, under paragraph (e)(2)(ii) of 
this section, there is a recapture event for B's equity investment (but 
not A's equity investment).


[[Page 225]]


    (f) Basis reduction--(1) In general. A taxpayer's basis in a 
qualified equity investment is reduced by the amount of any new markets 
tax credit determined under paragraph (b)(1) of this section with 
respect to the investment. A basis reduction occurs on each credit 
allowance date under paragraph (b)(2) of this section. This paragraph 
(f) does not apply for purposes of sections 1202, 1400B, and 1400F.
    (2) Adjustment in basis of interest in partnership or S corporation. 
The adjusted basis of either a partner's interest in a partnership, or 
stock in an S corporation, must be appropriately adjusted to take into 
account adjustments made under paragraph (f)(1) of this section in the 
basis of a qualified equity investment held by the partnership or S 
corporation (as the case may be).
    (g) Other rules--(1) Anti-abuse. If a principal purpose of a 
transaction or a series of transactions is to achieve a result that is 
inconsistent with the purposes of section 45D and this section, the 
Commissioner may treat the transaction or series of transactions as 
causing a recapture event under paragraph (e)(2) of this section.
    (2) Reporting requirements--(i) Notification by CDE to taxpayer--(A) 
Allowance of new markets tax credit. A CDE must provide notice to any 
taxpayer who acquires a qualified equity investment in the CDE at its 
original issue that the equity investment is a qualified equity 
investment entitling the taxpayer to claim the new markets tax credit. 
The notice must be provided by the CDE to the taxpayer no later than 60 
days after the date the taxpayer makes the investment in the CDE. The 
notice must contain the amount paid to the CDE for the qualified equity 
investment at its original issue and the taxpayer identification number 
of the CDE.
    (B) Recapture event. If, at any time during the 7-year period 
beginning on the date of the original issue of a qualified equity 
investment in a CDE, there is a recapture event under paragraph (e)(2) 
of this section with respect to such investment, the CDE must provide 
notice to each holder, including all prior holders, of the investment 
that a recapture event has occurred. The notice must be provided by the 
CDE no later than 60 days after the date the CDE becomes aware of the 
recapture event.
    (ii) CDE reporting requirements to Secretary. Each CDE must comply 
with such reporting requirements to the Secretary as the Secretary may 
prescribe.
    (iii) Manner of claiming new markets tax credit. A taxpayer may 
claim the new markets tax credit for each applicable taxable year by 
completing Form 8874, ``New Markets Credit,'' and by filing Form 8874 
with the taxpayer's Federal income tax return.
    (iv) Reporting recapture tax. If there is a recapture event with 
respect to a taxpayer's equity investment in a CDE, the taxpayer must 
include the credit recapture amount under section 45D(g)(2) on the line 
for recapture taxes on the taxpayer's Federal income tax return for the 
taxable year in which the recapture event under paragraph (e)(2) of this 
section occurs (or on the line for total tax, if there is no such line 
for recapture taxes) and write NMCR (new markets credit recapture) next 
to the entry space.
    (h) Effective date. This section applies on or after December 26, 
2001.
