Why Compliance Matters
Tax credit value depends on the facts behind the claim.
Project teams need documentation that supports tax credit eligibility, increased credit amounts, and bonus credits. Missing records and unresolved compliance issues can put that value at risk.
Empact combines NexusIQ™, its AI-native platform, with managed compliance services to validate the underlying records, work directly with contractors and suppliers, and carry identified issues through resolution.
Tax credit value, financing, and obligations after construction.
Tax Credit Value
Compliance requirements determine whether a project qualifies for a credit, an increased amount, or a bonus. A failure can affect each differently.
Diligence and Financing
Investors, lenders, and tax credit buyers need evidence supporting the claim. Missing records and unresolved issues can slow diligence and delay financing.
Ongoing Obligations
Some requirements continue after placed in service. Know which activities remain covered, how long the obligations last, and what documentation to retain.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Requirements can affect eligibility, an increased credit amount, a bonus credit, or ongoing obligations. The consequences and available corrective actions depend on the specific rule and project facts.
Start during project planning, before key construction and procurement decisions. Identify the relevant requirements, assign responsibility for collecting records, and document activities as they occur.
Sometimes. Existing payroll, supplier, contract, and project records may help address gaps. Recovery becomes harder when records were never created or contractors and suppliers are no longer available. Collecting evidence throughout the project reduces the need to recover records later.
Not always. Some credits carry ongoing requirements, including prevailing wage obligations for qualifying alteration or repair work. The required period and activities vary by credit.
