In this week's Tax Credit Tuesday podcast'the second of a two-part series'Michael Novogradac, CPA, discusses the issues that could affect equity pricing with three Novogradac partners: Brad Elphick, CPA; Tony Grappone, CPA; and Dirk Wallace, CPA. They begin by looking at how proposed Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) regulations might impact their respective credits, then look at the Basel III and Global Minimum Tax proposals and how they could affect tax credit equity markets. After that, they examine generally accepted accounting procedure (GAAP) regulations, as well as how proposed legislation could impact the markets and wrap up with what proposed tax law changes would have the greatest positive effect in the areas in which they work.
