(a) Any person eligible for credit under this subchapter, except a person engaged in a resident curator relationship, may transfer, sell or assign any unused credits. Any person that transfers, sells or assigns any unused portion of a tax credit shall obtain and produce to the transferee, purchaser or assignee a certificate from the Division of Revenue or the Office of the State Bank Commissioner setting forth the amount of unused credit.

(b) Credits granted to or acquired by a pass-through entity created or recognized under Delaware law, or by multiple owners of property, if not transferred, sold or assigned, may be divided among the partners, members, shareholders or owners either according to the distributive shares of income of such entity or pursuant to an executed agreement among such partners, members, shareholders or owners if such agreement documents an alternate method of distribution.

(c) Any transferee, purchaser or assignee of tax credits under this subchapter may use such acquired credits to offset state income or franchise tax liabilities imposed upon such transferee, purchaser or assignee. To claim the state tax credit, the transferee, purchaser or assignee shall attach the certificate obtained by the transferor, seller or assignor in accordance with subsection (a) of this section to the Delaware tax return against which the credit is claimed and submit such tax return to the Division of Revenue or the Office of the State Bank Commissioner with respect to income taxes in this title and Title 5 franchise taxes, respectively.

(d) If the credit allowed under this section exceeds the transferee, purchaser or assignee’s tax due for the current tax year, the transferee, purchaser or assignee of the tax credit may carry forward such excess in accordance with § 1813 of this title.

(e) Credits issued to the initial assignee, or in the case of a tax-exempt assignee, to the first taxable transferee after the associated phase completion, shall be subject to revocation and repayment to the Delaware Division of Revenue or the Office of the State Bank Commissioner if, under regulations issued by the State Office, a phased rehabilitation is not completed by the agreed upon completion date demonstrates that the applicant for the credit award for the project is unable or unwilling to complete it or, in the event that the project does not meet the certification requirements previously agreed to with the State Office.
