California Revenue and Taxation Code sections 12209, 17053.57 and 23657 authorize the issuance of tax credits in recognition of qualified investments made by taxpayers into community development financial institutions (CDFIs) for specific programs, projects or services. The CDFIs must be certified by the California Organized Investment Network (COIN), a unit of the Department of Insurance. COIN reviews both the applications for tax credit allocations and the applications by organizations seeking to be CDFIs. These regulations establish the procedure and criteria by which CDFIs submit the applications and COIN evaluates them, in accordance with the provisions in the aforementioned Revenue and Taxation Code sections and California Insurance Code Section 12939.
