                                                    Instructions for Form 319 
                                 Urban Transit Hub Tax Credit 
Purpose of this Form
This form must be completed by any taxpayer that claims a tax credit as provided for in the Urban Transit Hub Tax Credit Act, P.L. 2007, 
c. 346, as amended by P.L. 2009, c.90 and P.L. 2012, c.35. (C.34:1B-207 et seq.). The Act establishes a tax credit of up to 100% of the 
qualified capital investments made by businesses, and a tax credit of up to 20% of the qualified capital investments made by developers. 
The tax credit can be taken over a 10-year period at the rate of one-tenth of the total amount of the credit for each privilege period or tax 
year. If the taxpayer claims this credit on Form CBT-100, CBT-100U, CBT-100S, or BFC-1, a completed Form 319 must be included with 
the return to validate the claim.

Parts III and IV are used to calculate the allowable credit and carryforward. Taxpayers filing Forms CBT-100, CBT-100S, or BFC-1 com-
plete Part III and CBT-100U filers complete Part IV.

Any amount of tax credit that exceeds the final tax liability for any privilege period or tax year may be carried forward for 20 years. The tax 
credits are not refundable.

Combined Return Filers
If filing a combined return, this form must be completed by the member that earned (purchased) the credit. All combined return filers must 
check the combined return filers box at the top of the form and complete Part IV, Section A. 

Members Opting Not to Share. In general, tax credits are earned by a member of the combined group and are shareable with the com-
bined group. However, members are not required to share their credits. See N.J.S.A. 54:10A-4.6.i and TB-90(R), Tax Credits and Com-
bined Returns. In addition to Section A, members that choose not to share must also complete Part IV, Section B and fill in the oval at the 
top of the form to indicate they are not sharing the credit.

      Taxpayers must include the appropriate credit form in the year the credit was earned even if they are not claiming the credit on their tax 
      return.

Part I – Qualifications
To be eligible for the tax credit, the answer to question 1 and either question 2 or 3 must be “YES.” If the answer to question 1 or both 2 
and 3 is “NO,” the taxpayer is not entitled to the Urban Transit Hub Tax Credit.

If the taxpayer received a paper tax credit certificate, the original certificate and a copy of the completed Form 319 must be submitted by 
mail to the New Jersey Division of Taxation, CBT Refunds/Tax Credits, PO Box 259, Trenton, NJ 08695-0259. Failure to submit this docu-
mentation by mail will result in the delay and/or denial of the tax credit claimed.

Part II – Calculation of Available Credit
Line 4 – The amount of the tax credit is equal to the amount reported on the tax credit certificate that was issued by the New Jersey Divi-
sion of Taxation.

Part III – Calculation of the Allowable Credit Amount and Carryforward (for CBT-100, CBT-100S, and 
BFC-1 Filers only)
For CBT-100, CBT-100S, and BFC-1 filers, the allowable Urban Transit Hub Tax Credit for the current tax period is calculated in Part III. 
Combined return filers do not complete Part III, and must complete Part IV instead.

For tenants, the amount of credit allowed for a privilege period or tax year to a taxpayer that is a tenant cannot exceed the total lease pay-
ments for occupancy in a qualified business facility for that privilege period or tax year. 

Line 9 – Taxpayers claiming multiple credits must list any credits already applied to the tax liability to ensure accuracy of the calculation for 
maximum credit allowable.

Part IV – Calculation of the Allowable Credit Amount and Carryforward for Combined Return Filers
For CBT-100U filers, the total and allowable Urban Transit Hub Tax Credit for the current year is calculated in Part IV. All combined return 
filers must complete Section A. Members that choose not to share their credit must also complete Section B.

Section A – To be completed by ALL combined return filers
This section calculates the amount of credit allowable for the group. If a member chooses not to share their credit with the group, Section A 
must still be completed to ensure the credit allowed for the member does not exceed the amount that would otherwise be allowed against 
the group tax liability.



- 4 -
For tenants, the amount of credit allowed for a privilege period or tax year to a taxpayer that is a tenant cannot exceed the total lease pay-
ments for occupancy in a qualified business facility for that privilege period or tax year. 

Line 15 – Combined groups claiming multiple credits must list any credits already applied to the group tax liability to ensure accuracy of 
the calculation for maximum credit allowable.

Section B
This section is used to calculate the amount of credit allowable for members that choose not to share their credit with the group. Section B 
is completed based on the member’s share of the group tax liability. The amount of the credit is limited to the amount that would otherwise 
be allowed against the group tax liability if the member had been sharing the credit.

Line 21 – Members claiming multiple credits must list any credits already applied to the member’s tax liability to ensure accuracy of the 
calculation for maximum credit allowable.
