Enlarge image | 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, or CBT-100S, 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 or CBT-100S complete 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 questions 1 and 2 must be “YES.” If the answer to question 1 or 2 is “NO,” the taxpayer is not entitled to the Urban Transit Hub Tax Credit. A copy of the tax credit certificate and a copy of the completed Form 319 must be submitted by mail to the New Jersey Division of Taxa- tion, CBT Refunds/Tax Credits, PO Box 259, Trenton, NJ 08695-0259. Failure to submit this documentation by mail will result in the delay and/or denial of the tax credit claimed. Part II – Calculation of Available Credit Line 3 – 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 and CBT-100S Filers only) For CBT-100 and CBT-100S 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 8 – 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. |

Line 14 – 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.

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 20 – 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. |
