Article 9I - Affordable Housing Tax Credit Act
Section 7-9I-5 - Affordable housing tax credit.

A. The tax credit provided in this section may be referred to as the "affordable housing tax credit". Except as otherwise provided by the Affordable Housing Tax Credit Act, a holder of an investment voucher that submits the investment voucher to the department may apply for, and the department may allow, a tax credit in an amount not to exceed the value of the investment voucher during the tax year in which the authority certifies to the department:

(1) completion of a service for which an investment voucher has been issued pursuant to the Affordable Housing Tax Credit Act; or

(2) approval by the authority or completion of an affordable housing project for which a land, building or cash donation has been made and for which an investment voucher has been issued pursuant to the Affordable Housing Tax Credit Act.

B. A holder of an investment voucher may apply all or a portion of the affordable housing tax credit against the holder's modified combined tax liability, personal income tax liability or corporate income tax liability. Any balance of the affordable housing tax credit claimed may be carried forward for up to five years from the calendar year during which the authority certifies to the department approval of the affordable housing project for which the investment voucher used to claim the affordable housing tax credit is issued. No amount of the affordable housing tax credit may be applied against a local option gross receipts tax imposed by a municipality or county or against the government gross receipts tax.

C. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7-1-8 NMSA 1978, the department may disclose to a person the balance of the affordable housing tax credit remaining with respect to any investment voucher submitted by that person.
