24reinsurance arrangements), beginning with taxable years ending

26imposed by subsections (b) and (d) shall be reduced (but not

 

 

HB3935- 9 -LRB102 10382 HLH 15709 b

1increased) to the rate at which the total amount of tax imposed
2under this Act, net of all credits allowed under this Act,
3shall equal (i) the total amount of tax that would be imposed
4on the foreign insurer's net income allocable to Illinois for
5the taxable year by such foreign insurer's state or country of
6domicile if that net income were subject to all income taxes
7and taxes measured by net income imposed by such foreign
8insurer's state or country of domicile, net of all credits
9allowed or (ii) a rate of zero if no such tax is imposed on
10such income by the foreign insurer's state of domicile. For

13        (1) For the purposes of subsection (d-1), in no event
14    shall the sum of the rates of tax imposed by subsections

16            (A) the total amount of tax imposed on such
17        foreign insurer under this Act for a taxable year, net
18        of all credits allowed under this Act, plus

HB3935- 10 -LRB102 10382 HLH 15709 b

1    December 31, 2003, of the net taxable premiums written for
2    the taxable year, as described by subsection (1) of
3    Section 409 of the Illinois Insurance Code. This paragraph
4    will in no event increase the rates imposed under
5    subsections (b) and (d).
6        (2) Any reduction in the rates of tax imposed by this
7    subsection shall be applied first against the rates
8    imposed by subsection (b) and only after the tax imposed
9    by subsection (a) net of all credits allowed under this
10    Section other than the credit allowed under subsection (i)
11    has been reduced to zero, against the rates imposed by
12    subsection (d).
13    This subsection (d-1) is exempt from the provisions of
14Section 250.
15    (e) Investment credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a
16credit against the Personal Property Tax Replacement Income
17Tax for investment in qualified property.
18        (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to .5%
19    of the basis of qualified property placed in service
20    during the taxable year, provided such property is placed
21    in service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed
22    an additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of
23    qualified property placed in service during the taxable
24    year, provided such property is placed in service on or
25    after July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment
26    within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the

 

 

HB3935- 11 -LRB102 10382 HLH 15709 b

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

 

 

HB3935- 12 -LRB102 10382 HLH 15709 b

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

 

 

HB3935- 13 -LRB102 10382 HLH 15709 b

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

 

 

HB3935- 14 -LRB102 10382 HLH 15709 b

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

 

 

HB3935- 15 -LRB102 10382 HLH 15709 b

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

 

 

HB3935- 16 -LRB102 10382 HLH 15709 b

1    use the credit allocated to him or her under this
2    paragraph only against the tax imposed in subsections (c)
3    and (d) of this Section. If the partnership makes that
4    election, those credits shall be allocated among the
5    partners in the partnership in accordance with the rules
6    set forth in Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code,
7    and the rules promulgated under that Section, and the
8    allocated amount of the credits shall be allowed to the
9    partners for that taxable year. The partnership shall make
10    this election on its Personal Property Tax Replacement
11    Income Tax return for that taxable year. The election to
12    pass through the credits shall be irrevocable.
13        For taxable years ending on or after December 31,

11        (2) The term qualified property means property which:
12            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
13        buildings and structural components of buildings;
14            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the

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

 

 

HB3935- 20 -LRB102 10382 HLH 15709 b

1    from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be
2    deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
3    of such reduction.
4        (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
5    to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
6    service during the taxable year in a River Edge
7    Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
8    service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
9    employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more
10    over the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
11    employment records filed with the Illinois Department of
12    Employment Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois
13    shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
14    employment for the first year in which they file
15    employment records with the Illinois Department of
16    Employment Security. If, in any year, the increase in base
17    employment within Illinois over the preceding year is less
18    than 1%, the additional credit shall be limited to that
19    percentage times a fraction, the numerator of which is
20    0.5% and the denominator of which is 1%, but shall not
21    exceed 0.5%.
22        (8) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1,
23    2021, there shall be allowed an Enterprise Zone
24    construction jobs credit against the taxes imposed under
25    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section as provided in

1        The credit or credits may not reduce the taxpayer's
2    liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or
3    credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may
4    be carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's
5    liability in succeeding calendar years in the same manner
6    provided under paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act.
7    The credit or credits shall be applied to the earliest
8    year for which there is a tax liability. If there are
9    credits from more than one taxable year that are available
10    to offset a liability, the earlier credit shall be applied
11    first.
12        For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
13    corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
14    if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
15    the purposes of federal and State income taxation, there
16    shall be allowed a credit under this Section to be
17    determined in accordance with the determination of income
18    and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and
19    704 and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.
20        The total aggregate amount of credits awarded under
21    the Blue Collar Jobs Act (Article 20 of Public Act 101-9

8    original liability or the liability as later amended, such
9    excess may be carried forward and applied to the tax
10    liability of the 5 taxable years following the excess
11    credit year. The credit shall be applied to the earliest
12    year for which there is a liability. If there is credit
13    from more than one tax year that is available to offset a
14    liability, the credit accruing first in time shall be

4allowable under Section 41 of the Internal Revenue Code and
5which are conducted in this State. "Qualifying , "qualifying
6expenditures for increasing research activities in this State"
7means the excess of qualifying expenditures for the taxable
8year in which incurred over qualifying expenditures for the
9base period. "Qualifying , "qualifying expenditures for the
10base period" means: (1) for taxable years ending prior to
11December 31, 2021, the average of the qualifying expenditures
12for each year in the base period; and (2) for taxable years
13ending on or after December 31, 2021, 50% of the average of the
14qualifying expenditures for each year in the base period.

16preceding the taxable year for which the determination is
17being made.
18    Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the taxable

20unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over
21as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
22taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever
23occurs first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year
24ending prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any
25year ending on or after December 31, 2003.
26    If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from

 

 

HB3935- 31 -LRB102 10382 HLH 15709 b

12 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
2year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
3given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
4remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
5applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
6liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
7credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
8following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
9that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
10than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
11credit is given was incurred.

2    on or before December 31, 2001, a taxpayer shall be
3    allowed a credit against the tax imposed by subsections
4    (a) and (b) of this Section for certain amounts paid for
5    unreimbursed eligible remediation costs, as specified in
6    this subsection. For purposes of this Section,
7    "unreimbursed eligible remediation costs" means costs
8    approved by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
9    ("Agency") under Section 58.14 of the Environmental
10    Protection Act that were paid in performing environmental
11    remediation at a site for which a No Further Remediation
12    Letter was issued by the Agency and recorded under Section
13    58.10 of the Environmental Protection Act. The credit must
14    be claimed for the taxable year in which Agency approval
15    of the eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit
16    is not available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any
17    related party caused or contributed to, in any material
18    respect, a release of regulated substances on, in, or
19    under the site that was identified and addressed by the
20    remedial action pursuant to the Site Remediation Program
21    of the Environmental Protection Act. After the Pollution
22    Control Board rules are adopted pursuant to the Illinois
23    Administrative Procedure Act for the administration and

25    Protection Act, determinations as to credit availability
26    for purposes of this Section shall be made consistent with

 

 

HB3935- 33 -LRB102 10382 HLH 15709 b

1    those rules. For purposes of this Section, "taxpayer"
2    includes a person whose tax attributes the taxpayer has
3    succeeded to under Section 381 of the Internal Revenue
4    Code and "related party" includes the persons disallowed a
5    deduction for losses by paragraphs (b), (c), and (f)(1) of
6    Section 267 of the Internal Revenue Code by virtue of
7    being a related taxpayer, as well as any of its partners.
8    The credit allowed against the tax imposed by subsections
9    (a) and (b) shall be equal to 25% of the unreimbursed
10    eligible remediation costs in excess of $100,000 per site,
11    except that the $100,000 threshold shall not apply to any
12    site contained in an enterprise zone as determined by the

10            (A) the total amount of tax imposed on such
11        foreign insurer under this Act for a taxable year, net
12        of all credits allowed under this Act, plus
13            (B) the privilege tax imposed by Section 409 of
14        the Illinois Insurance Code, the fire insurance
15        company tax imposed by Section 12 of the Fire
16        Investigation Act, and the fire department taxes
17        imposed under Section 11-10-1 of the Illinois

20    31, 2003, or 1.75% for taxable years ending on or after
21    December 31, 2003, of the net taxable premiums written for

23    Section 409 of the Illinois Insurance Code. This paragraph
24    will in no event increase the rates imposed under
25    subsections (b) and (d).

HB3935- 50 -LRB102 10382 HLH 15709 b

1    subsection shall be applied first against the rates
2    imposed by subsection (b) and only after the tax imposed
3    by subsection (a) net of all credits allowed under this
4    Section other than the credit allowed under subsection (i)
5    has been reduced to zero, against the rates imposed by
6    subsection (d).
7    This subsection (d-1) is exempt from the provisions of
8Section 250.
9    (e) Investment credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a
10credit against the Personal Property Tax Replacement Income
11Tax for investment in qualified property.
12        (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to .5%
13    of the basis of qualified property placed in service
14    during the taxable year, provided such property is placed
15    in service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed
16    an additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of
17    qualified property placed in service during the taxable
18    year, provided such property is placed in service on or
19    after July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment
20    within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the
21    preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's employment
22    records filed with the Illinois Department of Employment
23    Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be
24    deemed to have met the 1% growth in base employment for the
25    first year in which they file employment records with the
26    Illinois Department of Employment Security. The provisions

 

 

HB3935- 51 -LRB102 10382 HLH 15709 b

1    added to this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored
2    by Public Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of
3    existing law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year,
4    the increase in base employment within Illinois over the
5    preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit
6    shall be limited to that percentage times a fraction, the
7    numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is
8    1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall
9    not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
10    taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may
11    any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year
12    other than the year in which the property was placed in
13    service in Illinois. For tax years ending on or after
14    December 31, 1987, and on or before December 31, 1988, the
15    credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
16    property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
17    credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it
18    exceeds the original liability or the liability as later
19    amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied to
20    the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the
21    excess credit years if the taxpayer (i) makes investments
22    which cause the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time
23    equivalent jobs in Illinois, (ii) is located in an
24    enterprise zone established pursuant to the Illinois
25    Enterprise Zone Act and (iii) is certified by the
26    Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now

 

 

HB3935- 52 -LRB102 10382 HLH 15709 b

1    Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) as
2    complying with the requirements specified in clause (i)
3    and (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and
4    Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic
5    Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all
6    such certifications immediately. For tax years ending
7    after December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for
8    the tax year in which the property is placed in service,
9    or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
10    for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability
11    or the liability as later amended, such excess may be
12    carried forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5
13    taxable years following the excess credit years. The
14    credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
15    there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
16    tax year that is available to offset a liability, earlier
17    credit shall be applied first.
18        (2) The term "qualified property" means property
19    which:
20            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
21        buildings and structural components of buildings and
22        signs that are real property, but not including land
23        or improvements to real property that are not a
24        structural component of a building such as
25        landscaping, sewer lines, local access roads, fencing,
26        parking lots, and other appurtenances;

 

 

HB3935- 53 -LRB102 10382 HLH 15709 b

1            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
2        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
3        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
4        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
5        (e);
6            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
7        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
8            (D) is used in Illinois by a taxpayer who is
9        primarily engaged in manufacturing, or in mining coal
10        or fluorite, or in retailing, or was placed in service
11        on or after July 1, 2006 in a River Edge Redevelopment
12        Zone established pursuant to the River Edge
13        Redevelopment Zone Act; and
14            (E) has not previously been used in Illinois in
15        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
16        the credit provided by this subsection (e) or
17        subsection (f).
18        (3) For purposes of this subsection (e),
19    "manufacturing" means the material staging and production
20    of tangible personal property by procedures commonly
21    regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabrication, or
22    assembling which changes some existing material into new
23    shapes, new qualities, or new combinations. For purposes
24    of this subsection (e) the term "mining" shall have the
25    same meaning as the term "mining" in Section 613(c) of the
26    Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this subsection

 

 

HB3935- 54 -LRB102 10382 HLH 15709 b

1    (e), the term "retailing" means the sale of tangible
2    personal property for use or consumption and not for
3    resale, or services rendered in conjunction with the sale
4    of tangible personal property for use or consumption and
5    not for resale. For purposes of this subsection (e),
6    "tangible personal property" has the same meaning as when
7    that term is used in the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
8    and, for taxable years ending after December 31, 2008,
9    does not include the generation, transmission, or
10    distribution of electricity.
11        (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
12    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
13    income tax purposes.
14        (5) If the basis of the property for federal income
15    tax depreciation purposes is increased after it has been
16    placed in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount
17    of such increase shall be deemed property placed in
18    service on the date of such increase in basis.
19        (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
20    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
21        (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
22    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
23    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
24    any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
25    months after being placed in service, the Personal
26    Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year

 

 

HB3935- 55 -LRB102 10382 HLH 15709 b

1    shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined by
2    (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
3    been allowed for the year in which credit for such
4    property was originally allowed by eliminating such
5    property from such computation and, (ii) subtracting such
6    recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
7    allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (7), a
8    reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
9    from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be
10    deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
11    of such reduction.
12        (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
13    the basis of qualified property shall not include costs
14    incurred after December 31, 2018, except for costs
15    incurred pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or
16    before December 31, 2018.
17        (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000,
18    a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners
19    the credits to which the partnership is entitled under
20    this subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may
21    use the credit allocated to him or her under this
22    paragraph only against the tax imposed in subsections (c)
23    and (d) of this Section. If the partnership makes that
24    election, those credits shall be allocated among the
25    partners in the partnership in accordance with the rules
26    set forth in Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code,

 

 

HB3935- 56 -LRB102 10382 HLH 15709 b

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

5    Subchapter S corporations, and owners of limited liability
6    companies, if the liability company is treated as a

10    determination of income and distributive share of income
11    under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the
12    Internal Revenue Code. The credit shall be .5% of the
13    basis for such property. The credit shall be available

16    Zone and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
17    reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by
18    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. For
19    tax years ending on or after December 31, 1985, the credit
20    shall be allowed for the tax year in which the property is
21    placed in service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds

6            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
7        buildings and structural components of buildings;
8            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the

10    Zone or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months
11    after being placed in service, the tax imposed under
12    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable
13    year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
14    by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
15    been allowed for the year in which credit for such
16    property was originally allowed by eliminating such
17    property from such computation, and (ii) subtracting such
18    recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously

22    deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
23    of such reduction.
24        (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
25    to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in

12    than 1%, the additional credit shall be limited to that
13    percentage times a fraction, the numerator of which is
14    0.5% and the denominator of which is 1%, but shall not
15    exceed 0.5%.
16        (8) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1,

HB3935- 70 -LRB102 10382 HLH 15709 b

1means the excess of qualifying expenditures for the taxable
