Are Hospital Physician Networks Ready for TPE Audits?Nexsen Pruet
The document discusses CMS Targeted Probe and Educate (TPE) audits conducted by Medicare Administrative Contractors. TPE audits target providers for questionable billing practices or high claim error rates. The TPE process involves reviewing documentation for 20-40 claims and providing education, with potential consequences if a provider fails three reviews like extrapolated overpayments or fraud investigations. The document outlines the five-level Medicare appeals process and notes that appealing TPE denials should be determined on a case-by-case basis. Finally, the document lists common service areas Palmetto GBA is focusing their TPE audits on, including major joint replacements, emergency room visits, and home health eligibility and medical necessity.
Current payor audits are conducted by various entities including RACs, QIOs, UPICs, and private insurers' SIUs. These auditors use data analytics to target statistical outliers and identify potential overpayments. The CMS TPE program educates providers who fail audits to improve compliance or face penalties like prepayment reviews or fraud investigations. Providers must return any identified overpayments within 60 days to avoid False Claims Act liability. Multiple levels of administrative appeal exist for Medicare and Medicaid overpayment disputes, while private payors each have their own appeal processes. Providers can prevent audits by protecting their NPI, complying with payor policies, and conducting regular self-audits to identify and address
The UPIC program aims to simplify and strengthen Medicaid integrity by replacing Zone Program Integrity Contractors with United Program Integrity Contractors to conduct unified audits across Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal health programs; UPICs will focus on identifying fraudulent providers, strengthening oversight of state financial policies, and collaborating between federal and state agencies to combat fraud, waste, and abuse.

But, does a U.S. company need to worry about the GDPR if it has no business operations in the EU? In a surprising number of cases, the answer is “yes.”

The document is a presentation by Burnet R. Maybank, III on incentives for real estate developers under the South Carolina Textile Communities Revitalization Act. The act provides tax credits for renovating abandoned textile mill sites. Developers can claim a 25% credit against income taxes or property taxes. To qualify, developers must file a Notice of Intent before starting rehabilitation and spend a minimum amount on eligible rehabilitation expenses. The credits can be transferred between taxpayers and carried forward for unused amounts.
Municipal Improvement Districts (MIDs) allow municipalities to finance public improvements through assessments on real property located within the district. [1] MIDs are created by ordinance and allow municipalities to acquire, own, construct, enlarge, install, sell or lease improvements. [2] Common improvements include streets, parks, parking garages, and waterways. [3] Assessments placed on property within the MID have a superior lien to fund improvements and are determined based on factors like assessed value, front footage, or per parcel basis.
City of Columbia and Mast General Store Case StudyNexsen Pruet
The document summarizes a deal between the City of Columbia and Mast General Store to open a new location on Main Street. The city provided Mast with a $2 million loan at tax-exempt rates to incentivize the project, hoping Mast's proven ability to attract other retailers would revitalize the area. Though complex with multiple parties involved, the deal was successfully structured to minimize interest costs while controlling risk. The new Mast store has generated sales and spin-off activity from other businesses, achieving the city's goals.
The document discusses South Carolina's Infrastructure Tax Credit incentive for real estate developers. It provides that developers can claim a tax credit of up to 50% of expenses for constructing roads, water/sewer lines, and related facilities that are dedicated for public use. The maximum credit per project is $40,000, with unused amounts carried forward for 3 years. To qualify, projects cannot exclusively benefit the developer and must meet applicable standards.

This document discusses fee-in-lieu of tax (FILOT) arrangements and multi-county park/special source revenue credit (MCP/SSRC) incentives for developers. It covers the basics of FILOTs, a common developer FILOT project scenario, key issues that can arise for developers in FILOT arrangements including investment periods, minimum investment requirements, and events of default. It also discusses using MCP/SSRC incentives coupled with or separate from FILOT agreements.
Retail Facilities "Closed Big Box" Revitalization CreditNexsen Pruet
This document summarizes South Carolina's Retail Facilities Revitalization Credit. It provides incentives for developers who improve abandoned shopping centers or freestanding retail buildings of at least 40,000 square feet. Developers can claim a 25% property tax credit or 10% income tax credit based on rehabilitation expenses. To receive the property tax credit, the project must be approved by the local government and any affected taxing entities through public hearings and ordinances. Both credits are taken over 8 years to encourage redevelopment of closed retail properties.
This document discusses brownfield voluntary cleanup incentives in South Carolina, including an income tax credit and property tax exemption. The income tax credit is 50% of cleanup costs up to $50,000 per year and any unused amount can be carried forward for 5 years. There is also a 10% additional credit up to $50,000 in the final cleanup year. The property tax exemption exempts the county portion of property taxes for 5 years when cleanup is complete. These incentives are underutilized likely due to lack of awareness and the credits not aligning with who incurs cleanup costs versus development costs.
The New Markets Tax Credit program provides tax credits to investors in community development entities to encourage investment in low-income communities. The tax credits total 39% of the investment amount over a 7 year period. Qualified low-income community investments must be in operating businesses or real estate projects located in qualified low-income census tracts. The structure often involves a CDE obtaining an investment and using the funds to provide financing to projects, with tax credits going to investors and benefits to borrowers in the form of below-market interest rates and partial loan forgiveness.
FLSA: Exempt or Not Exempt, That is the QuestionNexsen Pruet
This summary discusses the key points from a presentation on exemptions under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The presentation covered:
- Trends in FLSA enforcement by the Department of Labor including more investigations.

Responding to Grand Jury: Subpoenas & Search WarrantsNexsen Pruet
The document discusses responding to criminal subpoenas, with a focus on subpoenas duces tecum for documents. It notes that criminal subpoenas are broader than civil subpoenas and provides tips for initial review of a subpoena, potential challenges, document search and production process, and expenses of compliance. It also discusses responding if a search warrant is executed, including establishing an advance planning and response protocol to protect legal interests while cooperating.
An effective compliance program has several key components: conducting a legal risk assessment to identify areas of focus, ensuring the program meets regulatory guidelines, tailoring the program to a company's unique operations, establishing standards and procedures to minimize risks and demonstrate commitment to ethical conduct, and providing training, monitoring, reporting, and investigations to foster a pro-compliance culture. An effective program is process-oriented, integrated into daily operations, and subject to continuous improvement.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.

annual job tax credit, the “annual” small business job tax credit, and the
“accelerated” small business job tax credit.
So there are 3 kinds of Job Tax Credits!
6. bmaybank@nexsenpruet.com tushar@nexsenpruet.com www.nexsenpruet.com
GENERAL PROVISIONS
South Carolina Code law provides a tax credit against South Carolina income tax, bank tax, or
insurance premium tax for a qualifying business creating new jobs in this state. Corporations,
sole proprietorships, partnerships, S corporations, and limited liability companies are eligible for
the credit. To qualify for the job tax credit, a business must:
(1) be a certain type of business, and
(2) create and maintain a required minimum number of “new, full time jobs” at the time a new
facility or expansion is initially staffed. The “basic” credit amount for each new job is from
$1,500 (Tier I) to $25,000 (Tier IV) per year depending, in part, on where a taxpayer’s facility is
located. A taxpayer can receive an “additional” $1,000 credit per year for each new qualifying
job if the taxpayer’s qualifying facility is located in a multi-county industrial part.

28. bmaybank@nexsenpruet.com tushar@nexsenpruet.com www.nexsenpruet.com
CALCULATING THE CREDIT
TRADITIONAL JOB TAX CREDIT
The job tax credit is claimed on the taxpayer’s tax return for 5 years provided those jobs are
maintained in the year in which the credit is claimed. The credit is not claimed in the year the
new jobs are created. The number of new and additional new full time jobs is determined by
comparing the monthly average number of full time employees subject to South Carolina
income tax withholding in the applicable county for the taxable year with the monthly average
for the prior taxable year.
For purposes of calculating the monthly average number of full-time employees in the first year
of operation in this State, a taxpayer may use the actual months in operation or a full twelve-
month period. If a taxpayer’s business is in operation for less than twelve months a year, the
number of new and additional new full-time jobs is determined using the monthly average for
the months the business is in operation.
29. bmaybank@nexsenpruet.com tushar@nexsenpruet.com www.nexsenpruet.com

tax credit ranges from $750 to $25,000 per year.
31. bmaybank@nexsenpruet.com tushar@nexsenpruet.com www.nexsenpruet.com
SMALL BUSINESS JOB TAX CREDIT
“ANNUAL” SMALL BUSINESS JOB TAX CREDIT

creation of the new jobs (For example, jobs created in Year 1 are claimed in Year
2), provided the jobs are maintained. The credit is adjusted for job increases or
decreases. No credit is allowed for the year or any subsequent year in which the
net increase in employment falls below the minimum level.
32. bmaybank@nexsenpruet.com tushar@nexsenpruet.com www.nexsenpruet.com

allows a small business qualifying for the “annual” small business job tax credit
an “election” to accelerate the use of the credit by computing it on a “monthly”
basis and claiming the credit in the year the jobs are created. The credit amount
depends, in part, on the county in which the taxpayer is located and the amount
of gross wages paid for a full month to each employee.
The credit is allowed for the monthly average of new, full time jobs for which
wages are paid for the full month. The credit is claimed on the taxpayer’s tax
return for not more than 60 consecutive months and is claimed beginning with the
first full month wages are paid for the new, full time jobs created.

35. bmaybank@nexsenpruet.com tushar@nexsenpruet.com www.nexsenpruet.com
SMALL BUSINESS JOB TAX CREDIT
CREDIT AMOUNTS
The “basic” job tax credit amounts available to a small business creating a monthly average of
2 or more new, full time jobs are the:
• “50% credit amount” – This amount ranges from $750 to $12,500 per year per job for a
taxpayer who pays gross wages per job below 120% of the county or state average per
capita income (whichever is less). The amount depends upon the location of the business.
50% credit amount in Tier IV is $12,500 and in Tier III counties it is $10,125!!!
• “100% credit amount” – This amount ranges from $1,500 to $25,000 per year per job for a
taxpayer who pays gross wages per job at or above 120% of the county or state average
per capita income (whichever is less). The amount depends upon the location of the
business. In Tier IV counties it is $25,000 and in Tier III it is $20,250!
36. bmaybank@nexsenpruet.com tushar@nexsenpruet.com www.nexsenpruet.com
SMALL BUSINESS JOB TAX CREDIT
CREDIT AMOUNTS
The 100% credit amount is wages per job of 120% or more of the county or state
average – whichever is less.
In 2019, the State per Capita was $41,633
120% of this amount is $49,960
The County average in four of the Tier I counties was below the state per capita,
so you would use the county per capita. The other six counties were above it so
they would use the state per capita. Three Tier II counties were above the state
per capita so they would also use state per capita. The remaining counties would
use the county per capita.

SMALL BUSINESS JOB TAX CREDIT
CREDIT AMOUNTS
Basic Credit Amounts:
The “100% credit amount” and the “50% credit amount” are dependent, in part, on the “wage
category” of the minimum number of required jobs and the “wage category” of each additional
job.
42. bmaybank@nexsenpruet.com tushar@nexsenpruet.com www.nexsenpruet.com
SMALL BUSINESS JOB TAX CREDIT
CREDIT AMOUNTS
The following rules apply in determining the credit amount.
For a small business taxpayer to qualify for the “100% credit amount,” the
minimum 2 new, full time jobs must be created paying gross wages at or above
the 120% wage threshold “wage category.”
The credit amount for each additional job created over minimum during the
original credit period is determined separately based upon the wage category of
each additional job (i.e., some additional jobs may qualify for the “50% credit
amount” and other additional jobs may qualify for the “100% credit amount”).

SMALL BUSINESS JOB TAX CREDIT
CREDIT AMOUNTS
If a small business taxpayer creates the minimum 2 new, full time jobs with one
job paying at or above the 120% wage threshold and the other job paying below
the 120% wage threshold, then the taxpayer would be eligible only for the “50%
credit amount” for these 2 jobs.
The credit amount for any additional jobs created over the minimum is
determined separately and will be eligible for either the “50% credit amount” or
the “100% credit amount,” depending on the wage category of each additional
new job.

SMALL BUSINESS JOB TAX CREDIT
CREDIT AMOUNTS (CON’T.)
The credit amounts are as follows:
A small business qualifying for the “basic” job tax credit may be entitled to “additional” $1,000
job tax credit for each new, full time job created and maintained, if the facility is located in a
multicounty industrial park.

SMALL BUSINESS JOB TAX CREDIT
GROSS WAGES
As discussed above, the “basic” job tax credit amount for each new, full time job
created and maintained by a small business depends, in part, on the amount of
gross wages paid to each new, full time employee. The 120% wage threshold is
determined for each job at the end of the taxpayer’s tax year in which the jobs are
created.
This computation can involve a series of steps depending on when the jobs are
created, the amount of gross wages paid, and whether both part time and full time
jobs are created.

CALCULATING JOBS
The calculation of new jobs can be very complex given that few are hired on
January 1st and employees come and go, often with gaps in between.
Generally, for purposes of calculating the monthly average number of full-time
employees in the first year of operation in this State, a taxpayer may use the
actual months in operation or a full twelve-month period. If a taxpayer’s business
is in operation for less than twelve months a year, the number of new and
additional new full-time jobs is determined using the monthly average for the
months the business is in operation.

CALCULATING JOBS
The DOR has issued two lengthy Policy Docs on calculating jobs, SC DOR Rev.
Rul. #07-2, Small Business Provisions (54 pages) and Rev. Rul. #99-5 (62
pages) (Traditional JTC);
NOTE: the JTC statutes have changed since these docs were issued, (for
example county classification rankings have changed).
48. bmaybank@nexsenpruet.com tushar@nexsenpruet.com www.nexsenpruet.com
TAKING THE CREDIT
The JTC is a credit – not a deduction – so it reduces dollar for dollar the taxes
owed (up to the 50% limitation).
It is not transferable/refundable/assignable.
If you earned the credit in past years but didn’t claim it you can file amended
returns during the 3-year statute of limitations. Note that refund claims in Tier III
and IV counties would be the credit amounts under prior law ($8,000/$4,250), and
not $25,000/$20,250, which took effect in 2019.
50. bmaybank@nexsenpruet.com tushar@nexsenpruet.com www.nexsenpruet.com
TAKING THE CREDIT
The job tax credit taken in one tax year may not exceed 50% of the taxpayer’s
income tax, bank tax, or insurance premium tax liability. If the credit is passed
through, the 50% limitation is determined at the shareholder, partner, or member
level. An S corporation must first use the credit against its own income tax
liability, if any, before passing the credit through to its shareholders. The amount
of credit allowed a shareholder, partner or member of a limited liability company
is equal to the shareholder’s percentage of stock ownership, partner’s interest in
the partnership, or member’s interest in the limited liability company for the
taxable year multiplied by the amount of the credit the entity would have been
entitled to if it was taxed as a corporation.

TAKING THE CREDIT
PARTNERSHIPS AND LLCs EXAMPLE
A Heart surgeon in Columbia has substantial income from her medical practice.
She is a member of an LLC which owns a C Store in a Tier IV County which has
generated a substantial JTC but has much less income.
Is the JTC applied just against the C Store income, or her total income (state tax
liability)?
Her total state tax liability – including her spouse’s if they file a joint tax return.

PARTNERSHIPS AND LLCs
SC DOR Rev. Rul. #99-5
Question 34 - Use of Credit by Partner, Shareholder, or Member:
Q. What income of the partner, shareholder or member does the credit offset?
A. The credit may be used against all South Carolina income tax reported by the
partner, shareholder, or member that is subject to tax imposed by Code §12-6-510. It
is not limited to use only against the partnership, S-corporation, or limited liability
company income that passed through the credit. Further, if the partner, shareholder,
or member files a joint income tax return, the credit may be used to offset the income
of both spouses, even if only one spouse is the partner, shareholder, or member. The
credit is limited to 50% of the partner’s, shareholder’s, or member’s income tax
liability or married couple’s income tax liability. Code §12-6-3360(K)(3).
