11 | | shall be allowed a tax credit against the tax imposed by |
12 | | subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 in an amount equal to |
13 | | 25% of qualified expenditures incurred by a qualified taxpayer |
14 | | during the taxable year in the restoration and preservation of |
15 | | a qualified historic structure located in a River Edge |

17 | | plan, provided that the total amount of such expenditures (i) |
18 | | must equal $5,000 or more and (ii) must exceed 50% of the |
19 | | purchase price of the property. |
20 | | (b) To obtain a tax credit pursuant to this Section, the |

2 | | costs and expenses. The Historic Preservation Agency shall |
3 | | determine whether the rehabilitation is consistent with the |

9 | | issuance fee up to the maximum amount of 2% of the amount of |
10 | | the credits issued by the certificate may be collected from the |
11 | | applicant to administer the provisions of this Section. If |
12 | | collected, this issuance fee shall be deposited into the |
13 | | Historic Property Administrative Fund, a special fund created |
14 | | in the State treasury. Subject to appropriation, moneys in the |
15 | | Historic Property Administrative Fund shall be evenly divided |
16 | | between the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity and |
17 | | the Historic Preservation Agency to reimburse the Department of |
18 | | Commerce and Economic Opportunity and the Historic |
19 | | Preservation Agency for the costs associated with |
20 | | administering this Section. The taxpayer must attach the |
21 | | certificate to the tax return on which the credits are to be |
22 | | claimed. The Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity |
23 | | may adopt rules to implement this Section. |
24 | | (c) The tax credit under this Section may not reduce the |
25 | | taxpayer's liability to less than
zero. |
