HB3468- 8 -LRB100 11193 HLH 21494 b

1    the taxable year, as described by subsection (1) of Section
2    409 of the Illinois Insurance Code. This paragraph will in
3    no event increase the rates imposed under subsections (b)
4    and (d).
5        (2) Any reduction in the rates of tax imposed by this
6    subsection shall be applied first against the rates imposed
7    by subsection (b) and only after the tax imposed by

18    of the basis of qualified property placed in service during
19    the taxable year, provided such property is placed in
20    service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed an
21    additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of qualified
22    property placed in service during the taxable year,
23    provided such property is placed in service on or after
24    July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment within
25    Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the preceding
26    year as determined by the taxpayer's employment records

 

 

HB3468- 9 -LRB100 11193 HLH 21494 b

1    filed with the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
2    Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be deemed to have
3    met the 1% growth in base employment for the first year in
4    which they file employment records with the Illinois
5    Department of Employment Security. The provisions added to
6    this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored by Public
7    Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of existing
8    law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year, the
9    increase in base employment within Illinois over the
10    preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit shall
11    be limited to that percentage times a fraction, the
12    numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is
13    1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall
14    not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
15    taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may
16    any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year
17    other than the year in which the property was placed in
18    service in Illinois. For tax years ending on or after
19    December 31, 1987, and on or before December 31, 1988, the
20    credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
21    property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
22    credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it
23    exceeds the original liability or the liability as later
24    amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied to
25    the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the
26    excess credit years if the taxpayer (i) makes investments

 

 

HB3468- 10 -LRB100 11193 HLH 21494 b

1    which cause the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time
2    equivalent jobs in Illinois, (ii) is located in an
3    enterprise zone established pursuant to the Illinois
4    Enterprise Zone Act and (iii) is certified by the
5    Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
6    Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) as
7    complying with the requirements specified in clause (i) and
8    (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and
9    Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic
10    Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all
11    such certifications immediately. For tax years ending
12    after December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for
13    the tax year in which the property is placed in service,
14    or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
15    for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability or
16    the liability as later amended, such excess may be carried
17    forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable
18    years following the excess credit years. The credit shall
19    be applied to the earliest year for which there is a
20    liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
21    that is available to offset a liability, earlier credit
22    shall be applied first.
23        (2) The term "qualified property" means property
24    which:
25            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
26        buildings and structural components of buildings and

 

 

HB3468- 11 -LRB100 11193 HLH 21494 b

1        signs that are real property, but not including land or
2        improvements to real property that are not a structural
3        component of a building such as landscaping, sewer
4        lines, local access roads, fencing, parking lots, and
5        other appurtenances;
6            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
7        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
8        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
9        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
10        (e);
11            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
12        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
13            (D) is used in Illinois by a taxpayer who is
14        primarily engaged in manufacturing, or in mining coal
15        or fluorite, or in retailing, or was placed in service
16        on or after July 1, 2006 in a River Edge Redevelopment
17        Zone established pursuant to the River Edge
18        Redevelopment Zone Act; and
19            (E) has not previously been used in Illinois in
20        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
21        the credit provided by this subsection (e) or
22        subsection (f).
23        (3) For purposes of this subsection (e),
24    "manufacturing" means the material staging and production
25    of tangible personal property by procedures commonly
26    regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabrication, or

 

 

HB3468- 12 -LRB100 11193 HLH 21494 b

1    assembling which changes some existing material into new
2    shapes, new qualities, or new combinations. For purposes of
3    this subsection (e) the term "mining" shall have the same
4    meaning as the term "mining" in Section 613(c) of the
5    Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this subsection (e),
6    the term "retailing" means the sale of tangible personal
7    property for use or consumption and not for resale, or
8    services rendered in conjunction with the sale of tangible
9    personal property for use or consumption and not for
10    resale. For purposes of this subsection (e), "tangible
11    personal property" has the same meaning as when that term
12    is used in the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and, for
13    taxable years ending after December 31, 2008, does not
14    include the generation, transmission, or distribution of
15    electricity.
16        (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
17    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
18    income tax purposes.
19        (5) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
20    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
21    in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of such
22    increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
23    date of such increase in basis.
24        (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
25    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
26        (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to

 

 

HB3468- 13 -LRB100 11193 HLH 21494 b

1    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
2    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
3    any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
4    months after being placed in service, the Personal Property
5    Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year shall be
6    increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
7    recomputing the investment credit which would have been
8    allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
9    originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
10    computation and, (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
11    from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
12    purposes of this paragraph (7), a reduction of the basis of
13    qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
14    purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
15    property to the extent of such reduction.
16        (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
17    the basis of qualified property shall not include costs
18    incurred after December 31, 2018, except for costs incurred
19    pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or before
20    December 31, 2018.
21        (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000,
22    a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners the
23    credits to which the partnership is entitled under this
24    subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may use the
25    credit allocated to him or her under this paragraph only
26    against the tax imposed in subsections (c) and (d) of this

 

 

HB3468- 14 -LRB100 11193 HLH 21494 b

1    Section. If the partnership makes that election, those
2    credits shall be allocated among the partners in the
3    partnership in accordance with the rules set forth in
4    Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the rules
5    promulgated under that Section, and the allocated amount of
6    the credits shall be allowed to the partners for that
7    taxable year. The partnership shall make this election on
8    its Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax return for
9    that taxable year. The election to pass through the credits
10    shall be irrevocable.
11        For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2000,
12    a partner that qualifies its partnership for a subtraction
13    under subparagraph (I) of paragraph (2) of subsection (d)
14    of Section 203 or a shareholder that qualifies a Subchapter
15    S corporation for a subtraction under subparagraph (S) of
16    paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 203 shall be
17    allowed a credit under this subsection (e) equal to its
18    share of the credit earned under this subsection (e) during
19    the taxable year by the partnership or Subchapter S
20    corporation, determined in accordance with the
21    determination of income and distributive share of income
22    under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal
23    Revenue Code. This paragraph is exempt from the provisions
24    of Section 250.

2    tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for

5    Enterprise Zone Act or, for property placed in service on
6    or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge Redevelopment Zone
7    established pursuant to the River Edge Redevelopment Zone
8    Act. For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
9    corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
10    if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
11    purposes of federal and State income taxation, there shall
12    be allowed a credit under this subsection (f) to be
13    determined in accordance with the determination of income
14    and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
15    and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. The credit

25    of the credit exceeds the tax liability for that year,
26    whether it exceeds the original liability or the liability

1    as later amended, such excess may be carried forward and
2    applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable years
3    following the excess credit year. The credit shall be
4    applied to the earliest year for which there is a
5    liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
6    that is available to offset a liability, the credit
7    accruing first in time shall be applied first.
8        (2) The term qualified property means property which:
9            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
10        buildings and structural components of buildings;
11            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
12        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
13        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
14        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
15        (f);
16            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
17        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
18            (D) is used in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
19        Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer; and
20            (E) has not been previously used in Illinois in
21        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
22        the credit provided by this subsection (f) or
23        subsection (e).
24        (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
25    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
26    income tax purposes.

 

 

HB3468- 17 -LRB100 11193 HLH 21494 b

1        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
2    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
3    in service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
4    Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer, the amount of such
5    increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
6    date of such increase in basis.
7        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
8    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
9        (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
10    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
11    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
12    any qualified property is moved outside the Enterprise Zone
13    or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months after
14    being placed in service, the tax imposed under subsections
15    (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable year shall be
16    increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
17    recomputing the investment credit which would have been
18    allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
19    originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
20    computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
21    from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
22    purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the basis of
23    qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the

25    property to the extent of such reduction.
26        (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal

 

 

HB3468- 18 -LRB100 11193 HLH 21494 b

1    to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
2    service during the taxable year in a River Edge
3    Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
4    service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
5    employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over
6    the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
7    employment records filed with the Illinois Department of
8    Employment Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois
9    shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
10    employment for the first year in which they file employment
11    records with the Illinois Department of Employment
12    Security. If, in any year, the increase in base employment
13    within Illinois over the preceding year is less than 1%,
14    the additional credit shall be limited to that percentage
15    times a fraction, the numerator of which is 0.5% and the
16    denominator of which is 1%, but shall not exceed 0.5%.

24    Commerce and Economic Opportunity designated High Impact
25    Business. The credit shall be .5% of the basis for such
26    property. The credit shall not be available (i) until the

 

 

HB3468- 19 -LRB100 11193 HLH 21494 b

1    minimum investments in qualified property set forth in
2    subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois

6    Businesses under subdivisions (a)(3)(B), (a)(3)(C), and
7    (a)(3)(D) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone
8    Act, and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
9    reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by
10    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. The
11    credit applicable to such investments shall be taken in the
12    taxable year in which such investments have been completed.
13    The credit for additional investments beyond the minimum
14    investment by a designated high impact business authorized
15    under subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois
16    Enterprise Zone Act shall be available only in the taxable
17    year in which the property is placed in service and shall
18    not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
19    taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by subsections (a)
20    and (b) of this Section to below zero. For tax years ending
21    on or after December 31, 1987, the credit shall be allowed
22    for the tax year in which the property is placed in
23    service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax
24    liability for that year, whether it exceeds the original
25    liability or the liability as later amended, such excess
26    may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of

 

 

HB3468- 20 -LRB100 11193 HLH 21494 b

1    the 5 taxable years following the excess credit year. The
2    credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
3    there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
4    tax year that is available to offset a liability, the
5    credit accruing first in time shall be applied first.
6        Changes made in this subdivision (h)(1) by Public Act
7    88-670 restore changes made by Public Act 85-1182 and
8    reflect existing law.
9        (2) The term qualified property means property which:

11        buildings and structural components of buildings;
12            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
13        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
14        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
15        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
16        (h);
17            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
18        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code; and
19            (D) is not eligible for the Enterprise Zone
20        Investment Credit provided by subsection (f) of this
21        Section.
22        (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
23    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
24    income tax purposes.
25        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
26    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed

 

 

HB3468- 21 -LRB100 11193 HLH 21494 b

1    in service in a federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or
2    Sub-Zone located in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of
3    such increase shall be deemed property placed in service on
4    the date of such increase in basis.
5        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
6    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
7        (6) If during any taxable year ending on or before
8    December 31, 1996, any property ceases to be qualified
9    property in the hands of the taxpayer within 48 months
10    after being placed in service, or the situs of any
11    qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
12    months after being placed in service, the tax imposed under
13    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable
14    year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
15    by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
16    been allowed for the year in which credit for such property
17    was originally allowed by eliminating such property from
18    such computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed
19    credit from the amount of credit previously allowed. For
20    the purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the
21    basis of qualified property resulting from a
22    redetermination of the purchase price shall be deemed a
23    disposition of qualified property to the extent of such
24    reduction.
25        (7) Beginning with tax years ending after December 31,
26    1996, if a taxpayer qualifies for the credit under this

 

 

HB3468- 22 -LRB100 11193 HLH 21494 b

1    subsection (h) and thereby is granted a tax abatement and
2    the taxpayer relocates its entire facility in violation of
3    the explicit terms and length of the contract under Section
4    18-183 of the Property Tax Code, the tax imposed under
5    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section shall be increased
6    for the taxable year in which the taxpayer relocated its
7    facility by an amount equal to the amount of credit
8    received by the taxpayer under this subsection (h).
9    (i) Credit for Personal Property Tax Replacement Income
10Tax. For tax years ending prior to December 31, 2003, a credit
11shall be allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and
12(b) of this Section for the tax imposed by subsections (c) and
13(d) of this Section. This credit shall be computed by
14multiplying the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
15Section by a fraction, the numerator of which is base income
16allocable to Illinois and the denominator of which is Illinois
17base income, and further multiplying the product by the tax
18rate imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section.
19    Any credit earned on or after December 31, 1986 under this
20subsection which is unused in the year the credit is computed
21because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by subsections (a)
22and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the original
23liability or the liability as later amended) may be carried
24forward and applied to the tax liability imposed by subsections
25(a) and (b) of the 5 taxable years following the excess credit

HB3468- 23 -LRB100 11193 HLH 21494 b

1year ending on or after December 31, 2003. This credit shall be
2applied first to the earliest year for which there is a
3liability. If there is a credit under this subsection from more
4than one tax year that is available to offset a liability the
5earliest credit arising under this subsection shall be applied
6first.
7    If, during any taxable year ending on or after December 31,
81986, the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
9Section for which a taxpayer has claimed a credit under this
10subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of credit for such tax
11shall also be reduced. Such reduction shall be determined by
12recomputing the credit to take into account the reduced tax
13imposed by subsections (c) and (d). If any portion of the
14reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different
15taxable year, an amended return shall be filed for such taxable
16year to reduce the amount of credit claimed.
17    (j) Training expense credit. Beginning with tax years
18ending on or after December 31, 1986 and prior to December 31,
192003, a taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the tax

23of Illinois by a taxpayer, for educational or vocational
24training in semi-technical or technical fields or semi-skilled

2training expenses. For partners, shareholders of subchapter S
3corporations, and owners of limited liability companies, if the
4liability company is treated as a partnership for purposes of
5federal and State income taxation, there shall be allowed a
6credit under this subsection (j) to be determined in accordance
7with the determination of income and distributive share of
8income under Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the
9Internal Revenue Code.
10    Any credit allowed under this subsection which is unused in
11the year the credit is earned may be carried forward to each of
12the 5 taxable years following the year for which the credit is
13first computed until it is used. This credit shall be applied
14first to the earliest year for which there is a liability. If
15there is a credit under this subsection from more than one tax
16year that is available to offset a liability the earliest
17credit arising under this subsection shall be applied first. No
18carryforward credit may be claimed in any tax year ending on or
19after December 31, 2003.

1as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
2taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever occurs
3first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year ending
4prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any year
5ending on or after December 31, 2003.
6    If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
72 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
8year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
9given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
10remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
11applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
12liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
13credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
14following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
15that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
16than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the

13    release of regulated substances on, in, or under the site
14    that was identified and addressed by the remedial action
15    pursuant to the Site Remediation Program of the
16    Environmental Protection Act. After the Pollution Control
17    Board rules are adopted pursuant to the Illinois

11    a maximum total of $150,000 per site. For partners and
12    shareholders of subchapter S corporations, there shall be

3    this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a sale of
4    all or part of the remediation site for which the credit
5    was granted. The purchaser of a remediation site and the
6    tax credit shall succeed to the unused credit and remaining
7    carry-forward period of the seller. To perfect the
8    transfer, the assignor shall record the transfer in the
9    chain of title for the site and provide written notice to
10    the Director of the Illinois Department of Revenue of the
11    assignor's intent to sell the remediation site and the
12    amount of the tax credit to be transferred as a portion of
13    the sale. In no event may a credit be transferred to any
14    taxpayer if the taxpayer or a related party would not be
15    eligible under the provisions of subsection (i).
