What Is the Recapture Tax?
Recapture tax requires some homebuyers to repay the government a portion of their gain upon sale of the home if they financed their home with a Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC).

What to Consider
You could owe a Recapture Tax if you received a Virginia Housing Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC), then sell your home in less than nine years, the home appreciates and your income increases enough during that time so you exceed the allowable limits for the tax year in which you sell your home.
That’s because the MCC program is a federal subsidy designed to assist people with low-to-moderate incomes, to help them afford their first home.
