INSTRUCTIONS

The credit for textiles rehabilitation is available for a taxpayer who rehabilitates, renovates, and redevelops an abandoned
textile mill site in South Carolina.

For sites placed in service after December 31, 2007:

A taxpayer who qualifies for the credit for revitalizing an abandoned textile facility may claim either:
A) a credit against real property taxes levied by local taxing entities; or
B) a credit against Corporate or Individual Income Tax, Bank Tax, Corporate License Fees, or Insurance Premium Tax.

Use SC SCH TC-23 to claim the credit under option B.

The credit is equal to 25% of the actual rehabilitation expenses made at the textile mill site.
The credit is limited to the taxpayer’s tax liability for the tax year.
If the taxpayer acquired the textile mill site after December 31, 2007, they must file a Notice of Intent to Rehabilitate
(Notice) with the SCDOR prior to receiving the building permits for rehabilitating the textile mill site or phase of the
site.
If the taxpayer does not provide the Notice before receiving the building permits, all rehabilitation expenses
incurred before the Notice was provided will be disqualified.
If actual rehabilitation expenses exceed 125% of the estimated expenses in the Notice, the amount of available
credit will be capped at 125% of the estimated expenses instead of the actual expenses incurred.
A transfer between affiliated taxpayers of phases of a textile mill site is not considered an acquisition.
The entire credit is earned in the year the applicable phase or portion of the textile mill site is placed in service but is
taken in equal installments over a five-year period.
Unused credit may be carried forward for up to five years.
A taxpayer claiming this credit may be able to qualify for TC-21, Certified Historic Structure Credit. If the site is
eligible for both credits, the taxpayer can take both credits.
A taxpayer that leases all or part of the textile mill site may transfer any applicable remaining credit associated with
the rehabilitation expenses for that part of the site to the lessee of the site.
A taxpayer that sells all or any phase or portion of the textile mill site may transfer all or part of the remaining credit
that is associated with the rehabilitation expenses for that phase or portion of the site transferred to the purchaser.
The taxpayer must notify the SCDOR of the transfer in order for it to be effective.
A taxpayer that is a partnership or a limited liability company taxed as a partnership may pass through the credit to
its partners or members and may allocate the credit among any of its partners or members on an annual basis. This
could include an unlimited allocation of the entire credit to any partner or member who was a partner or member at
any time during the year in which the credit is allocated. This provision also applies when the partner or member is a
lessee.
A taxpayer is not eligible for the credit if the facility has previously received textile mill credits, or if the taxpayer
owned the otherwise eligible textile mill site when the site was operational and immediately prior to its abandonment.
The area of the site is limited to the land located within the boundaries where the textile manufacturing facility
structure is located and does not include land located outside the boundaries of the structure.
The provisions of Chapter 31, Title 6 apply to this credit, except for the requirements of Section 6-31-40.
The taxpayer may apply to the municipality or county in which the textile mill site is located for a certification of the
textile mill site made by ordinance or binding resolution of the governing body of the municipality or county. The
certification must include:
a) whether the textile mill site was a textile mill;
b) whether the textile mill site has been abandoned; and
c) the geographic area of the textile mill site.
The taxpayer may rely on the certification to determine the credit. You must include a copy of the certification with
the first return that claims the credit.

If a portion but not all of the textile mill site was placed in service on or before December 31, 2007, the taxpayer
may elect to either:
a) have the portion placed in service on or before December 31, 2007 be governed by the provisions in effect on that
date, as if the portion were an entire textile mill site, or
b) have the portion be governed under the new provisions so that it is deemed to be a phase of the site placed in
service after December 31, 2007.

Definitions 
 
          Abandoned  means  that  at  least  80%  of  the  textile  mill  has  been  closed  continuously  to  business  or  otherwise 
 nonoperational  as a textile mill for a period  of at least one year immediately  before the date the taxpayer files a 
 Notice  of  Intent  to  Rehabilitate.  A  textile  mill  site  that  otherwise  qualifies  as  abandoned  may  be  subdivided  into 
 separate parcels. Parcels may be owned by the same taxpayer or different taxpayers. Each parcel is deemed to be a 
 textile mill site for purposes of determining whether each subdivided parcel is considered to be abandoned. 
 
      Ancillary uses means uses related to the textile manufacturing, dying, or finishing operations on a textile mill site 
 consisting of sales, distribution, storage, water runoff, wastewater treatment and detention, pollution control, landfill, 
 personnel  offices,  security  offices,  employee  parking,  dining  and  recreation  areas,  and  internal  roadways  or 
 driveways directly associated with such uses. 
 
        Notice of Intent to Rehabilitate means a letter submitted by the taxpayer to the SCDOR or the municipality or 
 county indicating the taxpayer's intent to rehabilitate the textile mill site, the location of the textile mill site, the amount 
 of acreage involved in the textile mill site, and the estimated expenses to be incurred in connection with rehabilitation 
 of the textile mill site. The notice must include which buildings the taxpayer intends to renovate, which buildings the 
 taxpayer intends to demolish, and whether new construction is to be involved. 
 
        Placed in service means the date the textile mill site is completed and ready for its intended use. If the textile mill 
 site is completed and ready for use in phases or portions, each phase or portion is considered to be placed in service 
 when it is completed and ready for its intended use. 
 
      Rehabilitation  expenses  means  the  expenses  or  capital  expenditures  for  the  rehabilitation,  renovation,  or 
 redevelopment of the textile mill site. This includes the demolition of existing buildings, environmental remediation, 
 site improvements, and the construction of new buildings and other improvements on the textile mill site. Excluded is 
 the cost of acquiring the textile mill site or the cost of personal property located at the textile mill site. The textile mill 
 and buildings on the textile mill site must be either renovated or demolished for the expenses to qualify for the credit. 
 For new or rehabilitated buildings on contiguous parcels, do not include expenses that increase the amount of square 
 footage of the buildings that existed on the parcel immediately before the textile mill became abandoned by more 
 than 200%. 
 
       Textile mill means a facility or facilities that were initially used for textile manufacturing, dying, or finishing operations 
 and for ancillary uses to those operations. 
 
       Textile mill site means the textile mill, together with the land and other improvements on it, which were used directly 
 for textile manufacturing operations or ancillary uses. The area of the site is limited to the land located within the 
 boundaries where the textile manufacturing, dying, or finishing facility structure is located and does not include land 
 located outside the boundaries of the structure or devoted to ancillary uses.  
 
     For any site acquired by a taxpayer before January 1, 2008, the textile mill site includes the textile mill structure, 
 together with all land and improvements, which were used directly for textile manufacturing operations or ancillary 
 uses, or were located on the same parcel within one thousand feet of any textile mill structure or ancillary uses, 
 provided the site: 
           is located on the Catawba River near Interstate 77, or 
           is located in a distressed area of a county in this state on the date the Notice is filed. 
 
        Contiguous parcel means any separate tax parcel sharing a common boundary with an adjacent parcel or  
 separated only by a private or public road.
