Bf Garden Tax Credit Fund Iv L P
Boston Capital Tax Credit Fund IV L.P. (the "Fund") is a limited
partnership formed under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act
as of October 5, 1993. Effective as of June 1, 2001 there was a restructuring,
and as a result, the Fund's general partner was reorganized as follows. The
general partner of the Fund continues to be Boston Capital Associates IV L.P.,
a Delaware limited partnership. The general partner of the Fund’s general
partner is now BCA Associates Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership,
whose sole general partner is C&M Management, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation.
John P. Manning is the principal executive officer of C&M Management, Inc.
The limited partner of the Fund’s general partner is Capital Investment
Holdings, a general partnership whose partners are various officers and employees
of Boston Capital Partners, Inc., and its affiliates. The assignor limited partner
is BCTC IV Assignor Corp., a Delaware corporation which is now wholly-owned
by John P. Manning.
The assignor limited partner was formed for the purpose of serving in that capacity
for the Fund and will not engage in any other business. Units of beneficial
interest in the limited partnership interest of the assignor limited partner
are assigned by the assignor limited partner by means of beneficial assignee
certificates ("BACs") to investors and investors are entitled to all
the rights and economic benefits of a limited partner of the Fund including
rights to a percentage of the income, gains, losses, deductions, credits and
distributions of the Fund.
The Fund's principal business is to invest as a limited partner in other limited
partnerships (the "Operating Partnerships") each of which will own
or lease and will operate an apartment complex exclusively or partially for
low- and moderate-income tenants. Each Operating Partnership in which the Fund
invests owns apartment complexes, which are completed, newly-constructed, under
construction or rehabilitation, or to-be constructed or rehabilitated, and which
are expected to receive government assistance. Each apartment complex is expected
to qualify for the low-income housing tax credit under Section 42 of the Code
(the "Federal Housing Tax Credit"), providing tax benefits over a
period of ten to twelve years in the form of tax credits which investors may
use to offset income, subject to certain strict limitations, from other sources.
Some apartment complexes may also qualify for the historic rehabilitation tax
credit under Section 47 of the Code (the "Rehabilitation Tax Credit").
Section 236 (f) (ii) of the National Housing Act, as amended, and Section 101
of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1965, as amended, each provide for
the making by HUD of rent supplement payments to low income tenants in properties
which receive other forms of federal assistance such as tax credits. The payments
for each tenant, which are made directly to the owner of their property, generally
are in such amounts as to enable the tenant to pay rent equal to 30% of the
adjusted family income. Some of the apartment complexes in which the Fund has
invested are receiving their rent supplements from HUD. HUD has been in the
process of converting rent supplement assistance to assistance paid not to the
owner of the apartment complex, but directly to the individuals. At this time,
the Fund is unable to predict whether Congress will continue rent supplement
programs payable directly to owners of apartment complexes.
