Columbia, SC – 29 Jan 2022
South Carolina saw massive demand for its 4% LIHTC Credit and announced at it has limited the ability of certain developments to access the state’s 4% low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) incentive. The stop is temporary and halts the allocation of credits until the state enacts new legislation or July 1st of this year, whichever comes first. Minutes of the meeting state the pause is because “the volume of interest in the low-income housing tax credit program and the substantial impact on the state’s general fund were both unexpected.” According to the South Carolina Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office’s Tax Expenditure Report issued earlier this month, the state LIHTC allocated more than $25 million in fiscal year 2021-22 and was estimated for more than $84.3 million this year.
