Ohio Governor Signs Bill Temporarily Expanding State HTC and OZ Credits
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed legislation this week to temporarily expand and enhance the state’s opportunity zones (OZ) tax credits and temporarily double the state’s annual historic tax credit (HTC) cap. S.B. 225 increases funding for OZ tax credits for investments in qualified opportunity funds (QOFs) that hold all assets in Ohio OZs. That amount goes from $50 million to $75 million for 2022 and 2023 before dropping back to $50 million in 2024 and settling at $25 million annually thereafter. Investors without state tax liability can now transfer the OZ credit. The bill also temporarily increases the state HTC cap from $60 million to $120 million for fiscal years 2023 and 2024 and increases the tax credit percentage for those years from 25% to 35% for any county, township or municipal corporation with a population of less than 300,000.
