Tax Credits & Incentives

Overview

Parker Poe Consulting partners with real estate developers, manufacturers, and other clients to capitalize on federal, state, and local tax credits and incentives. Our practice is led by Richard Few, who has decades of experience — first as a lawyer and now as a consultant — advising clients on their tax and investment needs in order to move projects forward and maximize the return on their investments.

With a focus in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia, we guide clients through every stage of their tax credit and incentive needs, including:

Qualification & Structuring

  • Identifying eligibility across federal, state, and local programs.
  • Guiding clients through qualification, application, and approval processes.
  • Advising on optimal investment structures to maximize credit value.
  • Evaluating financial tradeoffs between new development and redevelopment.

Property Rehabilitation

We offer particularly strong experience in securing and managing:

  • Federal and state historic rehabilitation tax credits
  • Textile mill credits
  • Abandoned building credits
