(2) An owner or operator of agriculture workforce housing may transfer all or a portion of the credit allowed to the owner or operator under ORS 315.164 to one or more contributors but the amount transferred may not total more than the total credit the owner or operator may claim.

(b) If the owner or operator of agriculture workforce housing elects to transfer all or a portion of the credit allowed under ORS 315.164 after the date that a letter of credit approval has been issued to the owner or operator, the owner or operator and the contributor must comply with ORS 315.056.
(4) A contributor remains eligible to receive a credit under this section even if the owner or operator of the agriculture workforce housing becomes ineligible for the credit as a result of:
(a) Failure to file the annual certification under ORS 315.164 (6);
(b) Failure to continue to substantially comply with occupational safety or health laws, rules, regulations or standards under ORS 315.164 (10);

(e) Failure to comply with any other rules or provisions relating to the operation or maintenance of the agriculture workforce housing after work on the agriculture workforce housing project has been completed.
(5)(a) The credit allowed under this section may be taken for the tax year in which the agriculture workforce housing project is completed or in any of the nine tax years succeeding the tax year in which the project is completed.
(b) The credit allowed in any one tax year may not exceed 20 percent of the amount determined under subsection (2) of this section that was transferred to the contributor claiming the credit.
(6) Except as provided under subsection (7) of this section, the credit allowed in any one year may not exceed the tax liability of the taxpayer.
(7) Any tax credit otherwise allowable under this section that is not used by the taxpayer in a particular tax year may be carried forward and offset against the taxpayer’s tax liability for the next succeeding tax year. Any credit remaining unused in the next succeeding tax year may be carried forward and used in the second succeeding tax year, and likewise any credit not used in that second succeeding tax year may be carried forward and used in the third succeeding tax year, and any credit not used in that third succeeding tax year may be carried forward and used in the fourth succeeding tax year, and any credit not used in that fourth succeeding tax year may be carried forward and used in the fifth succeeding tax year, and any credit not used in that fifth succeeding tax year may be carried forward and used in the sixth succeeding tax year, and any credit not used in that sixth succeeding tax year may be carried forward and used in the seventh succeeding tax year, and any credit not used in that seventh succeeding tax year may be carried forward and used in the eighth succeeding tax year, and any credit not used in that eighth succeeding tax year may be carried forward and used in the ninth succeeding tax year, but may not be carried forward for any tax year thereafter.
(8)(a) A nonresident individual shall be allowed the credit computed in the same manner and subject to the same limitations as the credit allowed a resident by this section. However, the credit shall be prorated using the proportion provided in ORS 316.117.
(b) If a change in the tax year of a taxpayer occurs as described in ORS 314.085, or if the Department of Revenue terminates the taxpayer’s tax year under ORS 314.440, the credit allowed by this section shall be prorated or computed in a manner consistent with ORS 314.085.
(c) If a change in the status of a taxpayer from resident to nonresident or from nonresident to resident occurs, the credit allowed by this section shall be determined in a manner consistent with ORS 316.117.
(9) The Department of Revenue may adopt rules for carrying out the provisions of this section. [2001 c.868 §3; 2003 c.588 §§9,11; 2011 c.471 §4; 2013 c.750 §22; 2019 c.483 §8]
