 HISTORIC REHABILITATED BUILDINGS INVESTMENT CREDIT 
                          (For Investments Made After June 6, 1990) 

 The purpose of the Historic Rehabilitated Buildings Investment Credit is to encourage the 
 restoration of buildings of historical significance within West Virginia. Obtain Publication TSD-380 
 for additional guidelines and procedures for claiming the credit. 

 ELIGIBLE TAXPAYERS 
 Eligibility for the Historic Rehabilitated Buildings Investment Credit is limited to taxpayers making 
 qualified rehabilitation project expenditures on income producing properties on or after June 6, 
 1990 for a  project located in West Virginia and receiving certification from the  National Park 
 Service for such expenditures. 

 AMOUNT OF CREDIT 
 A credit of ten percent (10%) of the qualified expenditures for the rehabilitation of residential and 
 nonresidential buildings designated by the National Park Service, United States Department of 
 the Interior as “certified historic  structures,” and further defined as a  “qualified rehabilitated 
 structure,”  may be taken against West Virginia Personal Income Tax and West Virginia 
 Corporation Net Income Tax.    Projects for which an application, Part 2-Description of 
 Rehabilitation, was received by the state historic preservation office after December 31, 
 2017 are eligible for an increased credit of twenty-five    percent (25%) for qualified 
 investments occurring after December 31, 2017.  However, the twenty-five percent credit 
 earned for qualified rehabilitation expenditures after December 31, 2017, may not be used 
 to offset tax liabilities of the taxpayer prior to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 
 2020.  Unused credits for expenditures before 2018 (10%) may be carried back for one year and 
 then carried forward for twenty years in a method identical to that provided for in the federal credit 
 law. Unused credits for tax years after 2017 (25%) and available for use beginning on or after 
 January 1, 2020 cannot be carried back to a prior year but can be carried forward. Credits are 
 typically treated as first in, first out (FIFO).  Credits carried forward from prior periods MUST be 
 used first. The statute requires that the building or area be located within West Virginia to be 
 eligible for the investment credit and requires review by the West Virginia Department of Culture 
 and History. 

        NOTE: In order to claim the West Virginia Historic Rehabilitated Buildings 
        Investment Credit, you must also qualify for the Federal Certified Historic 
        Structures Credit. You should attach a copy of your request for a final National 
        Park Service (NPS) certification (NPS Form 10-168c) along with Schedule RBIC 
        (Historic Rehabilitated Buildings Investment Credit) to your state income tax return.
