 7        beginning prior to July 1, 1989 and ending after June 30,
 8        1989,  an  amount  equal  to  the  sum  of  (i) 4% of the
 9        taxpayer's net income for the period  prior  to  July  1,
10        1989, as calculated under Section 202.3, and (ii) 4.8% of
11        the  taxpayer's  net income for the period after June 30,
12        1989, as calculated under Section 202.3.

15        the taxpayer's net income for the taxable year.
16        (c)  Beginning  on  July  1,  1979  and  thereafter,   in
17    addition to such income tax, there is also hereby imposed the
18    Personal  Property Tax Replacement Income Tax measured by net
19    income  on  every   corporation   (including   Subchapter   S
20    corporations),  partnership  and trust, for each taxable year
21    ending after June 30, 1979.  Such taxes are  imposed  on  the
22    privilege  of earning or receiving income in or as a resident
23    of this State.  The Personal Property Tax Replacement  Income
24    Tax  shall  be  in  addition  to  the  income  tax imposed by
25    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section and  in  addition  to
26    all other occupation or privilege taxes imposed by this State
27    or  by  any  municipal  corporation  or political subdivision
28    thereof.
29        (d)  Additional Personal Property Tax Replacement  Income
30    Tax  Rates.  The personal property tax replacement income tax
31    imposed by this subsection and subsection (c) of this Section
32    in the case of a  corporation,  other  than  a  Subchapter  S
33    corporation,  shall be an additional amount equal to 2.85% of
34    such taxpayer's net income for the taxable year, except  that
HB2950 Enrolled             -3-                LRB9008806KDcd
 1    beginning  on  January  1,  1981, and thereafter, the rate of
 2    2.85% specified in this subsection shall be reduced to  2.5%,
 3    and  in  the  case  of a partnership, trust or a Subchapter S
 4    corporation shall be an additional amount equal  to  1.5%  of
 5    such taxpayer's net income for the taxable year.
 6        (e)  Investment  credit.   A  taxpayer shall be allowed a
 7    credit against the Personal Property Tax  Replacement  Income
 8    Tax for investment in qualified property.
 9             (1)  A  taxpayer  shall be allowed a credit equal to
10        .5% of the basis of qualified property placed in  service
11        during the taxable year, provided such property is placed
12        in  service  on  or  after  July 1, 1984.  There shall be
13        allowed an additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of
14        qualified property placed in service during  the  taxable
15        year,  provided  such property is placed in service on or
16        after July 1, 1986, and the  taxpayer's  base  employment
17        within  Illinois  has  increased  by  1% or more over the
18        preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's employment
19        records filed with the Illinois Department of  Employment
20        Security.   Taxpayers  who  are  new to Illinois shall be
21        deemed to have met the 1% growth in base  employment  for
22        the first year in which they file employment records with
23        the  Illinois  Department  of  Employment  Security.  The
24        provisions added to this Section by  Public  Act  85-1200
25        (and restored by Public Act 87-895) shall be construed as
26        declaratory  of  existing law and not as a new enactment.
27        If, in any year, the increase in base  employment  within
28        Illinois  over  the  preceding  year is less than 1%, the
29        additional credit shall be  limited  to  that  percentage
30        times  a  fraction, the numerator of which is .5% and the
31        denominator of which is 1%, but  shall  not  exceed  .5%.
32        The  investment credit shall not be allowed to the extent
33        that it would reduce a taxpayer's liability  in  any  tax
34        year  below  zero,  nor  may  any  credit  for  qualified
HB2950 Enrolled             -4-                LRB9008806KDcd
 1        property  be  allowed for any year other than the year in
 2        which the property was placed in service in Illinois. For
 3        tax years ending on or after December 31, 1987, and on or
 4        before December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for
 5        the tax year in which the property is placed in  service,
 6        or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
 7        for  that year, whether it exceeds the original liability
 8        or the liability as later amended,  such  excess  may  be
 9        carried forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5
10        taxable  years  following  the excess credit years if the
11        taxpayer (i) makes investments which cause  the  creation
12        of  a  minimum  of  2,000  full-time  equivalent  jobs in
13        Illinois,  (ii)  is  located  in   an   enterprise   zone
14        established  pursuant to the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act
15        and (iii) is certified by the Department of Commerce  and
16        Community  Affairs  as  complying  with  the requirements
17        specified in clause (i) and (ii) by July  1,  1986.   The
18        Department of Commerce and Community Affairs shall notify
19        the  Department  of  Revenue  of  all such certifications
20        immediately. For tax  years  ending  after  December  31,
21        1988,  the  credit  shall  be allowed for the tax year in
22        which the property is  placed  in  service,  or,  if  the
23        amount  of  the credit exceeds the tax liability for that
24        year, whether it exceeds the original  liability  or  the
25        liability  as  later  amended, such excess may be carried
26        forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable
27        years following the excess credit years. The credit shall
28        be applied to the earliest year  for  which  there  is  a
29        liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
30        that  is  available to offset a liability, earlier credit
31        shall be applied first.
32             (2)  The term "qualified  property"  means  property
33        which:
34                  (A)  is   tangible,   whether   new   or  used,
HB2950 Enrolled             -5-                LRB9008806KDcd
 1             including buildings  and  structural  components  of
 2             buildings  and signs that are real property, but not
 3             including land or improvements to real property that
 4             are not a structural component of a building such as
 5             landscaping,  sewer  lines,  local   access   roads,
 6             fencing, parking lots, and other appurtenances;
 7                  (B)  is  depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of
 8             the  Internal  Revenue  Code,  except  that  "3-year
 9             property" as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that
10             Code is not eligible for the credit provided by this
11             subsection (e);
12                  (C)  is acquired  by  purchase  as  defined  in
13             Section 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
16             coal or fluorite, or in retailing; and
17                  (E)  has  not  previously been used in Illinois
18             in such a manner and  by  such  a  person  as  would
19             qualify  for  the credit provided by this subsection
20             (e) or subsection (f).
21             (3)  For   purposes   of   this   subsection    (e),
22        "manufacturing" means the material staging and production
23        of  tangible  personal  property  by  procedures commonly
24        regarded as manufacturing,  processing,  fabrication,  or
25        assembling  which changes some existing material into new
26        shapes, new qualities, or new combinations.  For purposes
27        of this subsection (e) the term "mining" shall  have  the
28        same  meaning  as  the term "mining" in Section 613(c) of
29        the  Internal  Revenue  Code.   For  purposes   of   this
30        subsection  (e),  the  term "retailing" means the sale of
31        tangible  personal  property  or  services  rendered   in
32        conjunction  with  the sale of tangible consumer goods or
33        commodities.
34             (4)  The basis of qualified property  shall  be  the
HB2950 Enrolled             -6-                LRB9008806KDcd
 1        basis  used  to  compute  the  depreciation deduction for
 2        federal income tax purposes.
 3             (5)  If the basis of the property for federal income
 4        tax depreciation purposes is increased after it has  been
 5        placed in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount
 6        of  such  increase  shall  be  deemed  property placed in
 7        service on the date of such increase in basis.
 8             (6)  The term "placed in  service"  shall  have  the
 9        same  meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue
10        Code.
11             (7)  If during any taxable year, any property ceases
12        to be qualified property in the  hands  of  the  taxpayer
13        within  48  months  after being placed in service, or the
14        situs of any qualified property is moved outside Illinois
15        within 48 months  after  being  placed  in  service,  the
16        Personal  Property  Tax  Replacement  Income Tax for such
17        taxable year shall be increased.  Such increase shall  be
18        determined by (i) recomputing the investment credit which
19        would  have been allowed for the year in which credit for
20        such property was originally allowed by eliminating  such
21        property from such computation and, (ii) subtracting such
22        recomputed  credit  from  the amount of credit previously
23        allowed. For  the  purposes  of  this  paragraph  (7),  a
24        reduction  of  the  basis of qualified property resulting
25        from a redetermination of the  purchase  price  shall  be
26        deemed  a disposition of qualified property to the extent
27        of such reduction.
28             (8)  Unless the investment  credit  is  extended  by
29        law,  the  basis  of qualified property shall not include
30        costs incurred after December 31, 2003, except for  costs
31        incurred  pursuant  to a binding contract entered into on
32        or before December 31, 2003.
33             (9)  Each taxable year, a partnership may  elect  to
34        pass  through  to  its  partners the credits to which the
HB2950 Enrolled             -7-                LRB9008806KDcd
 1        partnership is entitled under this subsection (e) for the
 2        taxable year.  A partner may use the credit allocated  to
 3        him  or  her  under  this  paragraph only against the tax
 4        imposed in subsections (c) and (d) of this  Section.   If
 5        the  partnership makes that election, those credits shall
 6        be allocated among the partners  in  the  partnership  in
 7        accordance  with the rules set forth in Section 704(b) of
 8        the Internal Revenue  Code,  and  the  rules  promulgated
 9        under  that  Section,  and  the  allocated  amount of the
10        credits shall be allowed to the partners for that taxable
11        year.  The partnership shall make this  election  on  its
12        Personal  Property  Tax Replacement Income Tax return for
13        that taxable year.  The  election  to  pass  through  the
14        credits shall be irrevocable.
15        (f)  Investment credit; Enterprise Zone.
16             (1)  A  taxpayer  shall  be allowed a credit against
17        the tax imposed  by  subsections  (a)  and  (b)  of  this
18        Section  for  investment  in  qualified property which is
19        placed in service in an Enterprise Zone created  pursuant
20        to the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act. For partners and for
21        shareholders of Subchapter S corporations, there shall be
22        allowed   a  credit  under  this  subsection  (f)  to  be
23        determined in accordance with the determination of income
24        and distributive share of income under Sections  702  and
25        704  and  Subchapter  S of the Internal Revenue Code. The
26        credit shall be .5% of the basis for such property.   The
27        credit  shall  be  available  only in the taxable year in
28        which the property is placed in service in the Enterprise
29        Zone and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
30        reduce a taxpayer's liability  for  the  tax  imposed  by
31        subsections  (a)  and  (b) of this Section to below zero.
32        For tax years ending on or after December 31,  1985,  the
33        credit  shall  be  allowed  for the tax year in which the
34        property is placed in service, or, if the amount  of  the
HB2950 Enrolled             -8-                LRB9008806KDcd
 1        credit  exceeds  the tax liability for that year, whether
 2        it exceeds the original liability  or  the  liability  as
 3        later  amended,  such  excess  may be carried forward and
 4        applied to the tax  liability  of  the  5  taxable  years
 5        following  the  excess  credit  year. The credit shall be
 6        applied to  the  earliest  year  for  which  there  is  a
 7        liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
 8        that  is  available  to  offset  a  liability, the credit
 9        accruing first in time shall be applied first.
10             (2)  The  term  qualified  property  means  property
11        which:
12                  (A)  is  tangible,   whether   new   or   used,
13             including  buildings  and  structural  components of
14             buildings;
15                  (B)  is depreciable pursuant to Section 167  of
16             the  Internal  Revenue  Code,  except  that  "3-year
17             property" as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that
18             Code is not eligible for the credit provided by this
19             subsection (f);
20                  (C)  is  acquired  by  purchase  as  defined in
21             Section 179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
22                  (D)  is used in  the  Enterprise  Zone  by  the
23             taxpayer; and
24                  (E)  has  not  been previously used in Illinois
25             in such a manner and  by  such  a  person  as  would
26             qualify  for  the credit provided by this subsection
27             (f) or subsection (e).
28             (3)  The basis of qualified property  shall  be  the
29        basis  used  to  compute  the  depreciation deduction for
30        federal income tax purposes.
31             (4)  If the basis of the property for federal income
32        tax depreciation purposes is increased after it has  been
33        placed in service in the Enterprise Zone by the taxpayer,
34        the  amount  of  such  increase  shall be deemed property
HB2950 Enrolled             -9-                LRB9008806KDcd
 1        placed in service on the date of such increase in basis.
 2             (5)  The term "placed in  service"  shall  have  the
 3        same  meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue
 4        Code.
 5             (6)  If during any taxable year, any property ceases
 6        to be qualified property in the  hands  of  the  taxpayer
 7        within  48  months  after being placed in service, or the
 8        situs of any qualified  property  is  moved  outside  the
 9        Enterprise  Zone  within  48 months after being placed in
10        service, the tax imposed under subsections (a) and (b) of
11        this Section for such taxable year  shall  be  increased.
12        Such  increase shall be determined by (i) recomputing the
13        investment credit which would have been allowed  for  the
14        year  in  which  credit  for such property was originally
15        allowed  by   eliminating   such   property   from   such
16        computation,  and (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
17        from the amount of credit previously  allowed.   For  the
18        purposes  of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the basis
19        of qualified property resulting from a redetermination of
20        the purchase price  shall  be  deemed  a  disposition  of
21        qualified property to the extent of such reduction.
22             (g)  Jobs  Tax  Credit;  Enterprise Zone and Foreign
23    Trade Zone or Sub-Zone.

28        Foreign  Trade Zone or Sub-Zone shall be allowed a credit
29        against the tax imposed by subsections  (a)  and  (b)  of
30        this  Section in the amount of $500 per eligible employee
31        hired to work in the zone during the taxable year.

 2             taxable year;
 3                  (B)  the taxpayer's total employment within the

 7             that  zone  at  the end of the previous tax year for
 8             which a jobs  tax  credit  under  this  Section  was
 9             taken,  or beyond the total employed by the taxpayer
10             as of December 31, 1985, whichever is later; and
11                  (C)  the eligible employees  must  be  employed
12             180 consecutive days in order to be deemed hired for
13             purposes of this subsection.
14             (3)  An  "eligible  employee"  means an employee who
15        is:
16                  (A)  Certified by the  Department  of  Commerce
17             and  Community  Affairs  as  "eligible for services"
18             pursuant to regulations  promulgated  in  accordance
19             with  Title  II of the Job Training Partnership Act,

21             of the Job Training Partnership Act, Employment  and
22             Training Assistance for Dislocated Workers Program.
23                  (B)  Hired   after   the   enterprise  zone  or
24             federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or  Sub-Zone
25             was  designated or the trade or business was located
26             in that zone, whichever is later.
27                  (C)  Employed in the enterprise zone or Foreign
28             Trade Zone or Sub-Zone. An employee is  employed  in

32             services performed.
33                  (D)  A full-time employee working  30  or  more
34             hours per week.

 1             (4)  For  tax  years ending on or after December 31,
 2        1985 and prior to December 31, 1988, the credit shall  be
 3        allowed  for the tax year in which the eligible employees
 4        are hired.  For tax years ending on or after December 31,
 5        1988, the credit  shall  be  allowed  for  the  tax  year
 6        immediately  following the tax year in which the eligible
 7        employees are hired.  If the amount of the credit exceeds
 8        the tax liability for that year, whether it  exceeds  the
 9        original  liability  or  the  liability as later amended,
10        such excess may be carried forward and applied to the tax
11        liability of the 5 taxable  years  following  the  excess
12        credit year.  The credit shall be applied to the earliest
13        year  for  which there is a liability. If there is credit
14        from more than one tax year that is available to offset a
15        liability, earlier credit shall be applied first.
16             (5)  The Department of Revenue shall promulgate such
17        rules and regulations as may be deemed necessary to carry
18        out the purposes of this subsection (g).
19             (6)  The credit  shall  be  available  for  eligible
20        employees hired on or after January 1, 1986.
21             (h)  Investment credit; High Impact Business.
22             (1)  Subject to subsection (b) of Section 5.5 of the
23        Illinois Enterprise Zone Act, a taxpayer shall be allowed
24        a  credit  against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and
25        (b) of this Section for investment in qualified  property
26        which  is  placed  in service by a Department of Commerce
27        and Community Affairs designated  High  Impact  Business.
28        The  credit  shall be .5% of the basis for such property.
29        The credit shall  not  be  available  until  the  minimum
30        investments  in  qualified  property set forth in Section
31        5.5  of  the  Illinois  Enterprise  Zone  Act  have  been
32        satisfied and shall not be allowed to the extent that  it
33        would  reduce  a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed
34        by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero.
HB2950 Enrolled             -12-               LRB9008806KDcd
 1        The credit applicable to such minimum  investments  shall
 2        be  taken  in  the  taxable  year  in  which such minimum
 3        investments  have  been  completed.    The   credit   for
 4        additional investments beyond the minimum investment by a
 5        designated  high  impact business shall be available only
 6        in the taxable year in which the property  is  placed  in
 7        service  and  shall  not be allowed to the extent that it
 8        would reduce a taxpayer's liability for the  tax  imposed
 9        by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero.
10        For  tax  years ending on or after December 31, 1987, the
11        credit shall be allowed for the tax  year  in  which  the
12        property  is  placed in service, or, if the amount of the
13        credit exceeds the tax liability for that  year,  whether
14        it  exceeds  the  original  liability or the liability as
15        later amended, such excess may  be  carried  forward  and
16        applied  to  the  tax  liability  of  the 5 taxable years
17        following the excess credit year.  The  credit  shall  be
18        applied  to  the  earliest  year  for  which  there  is a
19        liability.  If there is credit from  more  than  one  tax
20        year  that is available to offset a liability, the credit
21        accruing first in time shall be applied first.
22             Changes made in this subdivision  (h)(1)  by  Public
23        Act 88-670 restore changes made by Public Act 85-1182 and
24        reflect existing law.
25             (2)  The  term  qualified  property  means  property
26        which:
27                  (A)  is   tangible,   whether   new   or  used,
28             including buildings  and  structural  components  of
29             buildings;
30                  (B)  is  depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of
31             the  Internal  Revenue  Code,  except  that  "3-year
32             property" as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that
33             Code is not eligible for the credit provided by this
34             subsection (h);
HB2950 Enrolled             -13-               LRB9008806KDcd
 1                  (C)  is acquired  by  purchase  as  defined  in
 2             Section 179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code; and
 3                  (D)  is  not  eligible  for the Enterprise Zone
 4             Investment Credit provided by subsection (f) of this
 5             Section.
 6             (3)  The basis of qualified property  shall  be  the
 7        basis  used  to  compute  the  depreciation deduction for
 8        federal income tax purposes.
 9             (4)  If the basis of the property for federal income
10        tax depreciation purposes is increased after it has  been
11        placed in service in a federally designated Foreign Trade
12        Zone or Sub-Zone located in Illinois by the taxpayer, the
13        amount  of  such increase shall be deemed property placed
14        in service on the date of such increase in basis.
15             (5)  The term "placed in  service"  shall  have  the
16        same  meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue
17        Code.
18             (6)  If during any taxable year ending on or  before
19        December  31,  1996,  any property ceases to be qualified
20        property in the hands of the taxpayer  within  48  months
21        after  being  placed  in  service,  or  the  situs of any
22        qualified property is moved outside  Illinois  within  48
23        months  after  being  placed  in service, the tax imposed
24        under subsections (a) and (b) of this  Section  for  such
25        taxable  year shall be increased.  Such increase shall be
26        determined by (i) recomputing the investment credit which
27        would have been allowed for the year in which credit  for
28        such  property was originally allowed by eliminating such
29        property from such computation, and (ii) subtracting such
30        recomputed credit from the amount  of  credit  previously
31        allowed.   For  the  purposes  of  this  paragraph (6), a
32        reduction of the basis of  qualified  property  resulting
33        from  a  redetermination  of  the purchase price shall be
34        deemed a disposition of qualified property to the  extent
HB2950 Enrolled             -14-               LRB9008806KDcd
 1        of such reduction.
 2             (7)  Beginning  with tax years ending after December
 3        31, 1996, if a taxpayer qualifies for  the  credit  under
 4        this   subsection  (h)  and  thereby  is  granted  a  tax
 5        abatement and the taxpayer relocates its entire  facility
 6        in  violation  of  the  explicit  terms and length of the
 7        contract under Section 18-183 of the Property  Tax  Code,
 8        the  tax  imposed  under  subsections (a) and (b) of this
 9        Section shall be increased for the taxable year in  which
10        the taxpayer relocated its facility by an amount equal to
11        the  amount of credit received by the taxpayer under this
12        subsection (h).
13        (i)  A credit shall be allowed against the tax imposed by
14    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for the  tax  imposed
15    by  subsections  (c)  and  (d)  of this Section.  This credit
16    shall  be  computed  by  multiplying  the  tax   imposed   by
17    subsections  (c)  and  (d) of this Section by a fraction, the
18    numerator of which is base income allocable to  Illinois  and
19    the denominator of which is Illinois base income, and further
20    multiplying   the   product   by  the  tax  rate  imposed  by
21    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section.
22        Any credit earned on or after  December  31,  1986  under
23    this  subsection  which  is  unused in the year the credit is
24    computed because it exceeds  the  tax  liability  imposed  by
25    subsections (a) and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the
26    original  liability or the liability as later amended) may be
27    carried forward and applied to the tax liability  imposed  by
28    subsections  (a) and (b) of the 5 taxable years following the
29    excess credit year.  This credit shall be  applied  first  to
30    the  earliest  year for which there is a liability.  If there
31    is a credit under this subsection from more than one tax year
32    that is available to offset a liability the  earliest  credit
33    arising under this subsection shall be applied first.
34        If,  during  any taxable year ending on or after December
HB2950 Enrolled             -15-               LRB9008806KDcd
 1    31, 1986, the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of  this
 2    Section  for which a taxpayer has claimed a credit under this
 3    subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of credit for such  tax
 4    shall also be reduced.  Such reduction shall be determined by
 5    recomputing  the  credit to take into account the reduced tax
 6    imposed by subsection (c) and (d).  If  any  portion  of  the
 7    reduced  amount  of  credit  has  been carried to a different
 8    taxable year, an amended  return  shall  be  filed  for  such
 9    taxable year to reduce the amount of credit claimed.
10        (j)  Training  expense  credit.  Beginning with tax years
11    ending on or after December 31, 1986,  a  taxpayer  shall  be
12    allowed  a  credit  against the tax imposed by subsection (a)
13    and (b) under this Section for all amounts paid  or  accrued,
14    on behalf of all persons employed by the taxpayer in Illinois
15    or  Illinois  residents  employed  outside  of  Illinois by a
16    taxpayer,  for  educational   or   vocational   training   in
17    semi-technical or technical fields or semi-skilled or skilled
18    fields,   which  were  deducted  from  gross  income  in  the
19    computation of taxable income.  The credit  against  the  tax
20    imposed  by  subsections  (a)  and  (b) shall be 1.6% of such
21    training expenses.  For  partners  and  for  shareholders  of
22    subchapter  S  corporations,  there shall be allowed a credit
23    under this subsection (j) to be determined in accordance with
24    the determination of income and distributive share of  income
25    under  Sections  702 and 704 and subchapter S of the Internal
26    Revenue Code.
27        Any credit allowed under this subsection which is  unused
28    in  the  year  the credit is earned may be carried forward to
29    each of the 5 taxable years following the year for which  the
30    credit is first computed until it is used.  This credit shall
31    be  applied  first  to the earliest year for which there is a
32    liability.  If there is a credit under this  subsection  from
33    more  than  one  tax  year  that  is  available  to  offset a
34    liability the earliest credit arising under  this  subsection
HB2950 Enrolled             -16-               LRB9008806KDcd
 1    shall be applied first.
 2        (k)  Research and development credit.
 3        Beginning  with  tax  years  ending after July 1, 1990, a
 4    taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the tax imposed by
 5    subsections (a)  and  (b)  of  this  Section  for  increasing
 6    research  activities  in  this  State.   The  credit  allowed
 7    against  the  tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) shall be
 8    equal to 6 1/2% of the qualifying expenditures for increasing
 9    research activities in this State.
10        For   purposes   of    this    subsection,    "qualifying
11    expenditures"  means  the  qualifying expenditures as defined
12    for the federal credit  for  increasing  research  activities
13    which  would  be  allowable  under Section 41 of the Internal
14    Revenue  Code  and  which  are  conducted  in   this   State,
15    "qualifying  expenditures  for increasing research activities
16    in this State" means the excess  of  qualifying  expenditures
17    for  the  taxable  year  in  which  incurred  over qualifying
18    expenditures for the base  period,  "qualifying  expenditures
19    for  the  base  period"  means  the average of the qualifying
20    expenditures for each year in  the  base  period,  and  "base
21    period"  means  the 3 taxable years immediately preceding the
22    taxable year for which the determination is being made.
23        Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the taxable
24    year may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
25    unused credit shown on its  final  completed  return  carried
26    over  as a credit against the tax liability for the following
27    5 taxable years or until it has been  fully  used,  whichever
28    occurs first.
29        If  an  unused  credit is carried forward to a given year
30    from 2 or more earlier years,  that  credit  arising  in  the
31    earliest year will be applied first against the tax liability
32    for  the  given  year.  If a tax liability for the given year
33    still remains, the credit from the next  earliest  year  will
34    then  be applied, and so on, until all credits have been used
HB2950 Enrolled             -17-               LRB9008806KDcd
 1    or  no  tax  liability  for  the  given  year  remains.   Any
 2    remaining unused credit  or  credits  then  will  be  carried
 3    forward  to  the next following year in which a tax liability
 4    is incurred, except that no credit can be carried forward  to
 5    a year which is more than 5 years after the year in which the
 6    expense for which the credit is given was incurred.
 7        Unless  extended  by  law,  the  credit shall not include
 8    costs incurred after December 31, 2004 1999, except for costs
 9    incurred pursuant to a binding contract entered  into  on  or
10    before December 31, 2004 1999.
11        (l)  Environmental Remediation Tax Credit.
12             (i)  For  tax   years ending after December 31, 1997
13        and on or before December 31, 2001, a taxpayer  shall  be
14        allowed  a  credit against the tax imposed by subsections
15        (a) and (b) of this Section for certain amounts paid  for
16        unreimbursed  eligible remediation costs, as specified in
17        this  subsection.   For   purposes   of   this   Section,
18        "unreimbursed  eligible  remediation  costs"  means costs
19        approved by the Illinois Environmental Protection  Agency
20        ("Agency")  under  Section  58.14  of  the  Environmental
21        Protection Act that were paid in performing environmental
22        remediation  at a site for which a No Further Remediation
23        Letter was  issued  by  the  Agency  and  recorded  under
24        Section  58.10  of  the Environmental Protection Act, and
25        does not mean approved eligible  remediation  costs  that
26        are  at  any  time  deducted  under the provisions of the
27        Internal Revenue Code.  The credit must  be  claimed  for
28        the taxable year in which Agency approval of the eligible
29        remediation   costs   is  granted.   In  no  event  shall
30        unreimbursed eligible remediation costs include any costs
31        taken  into  account  in  calculating  an   environmental
32        remediation  credit  granted  against a tax imposed under
33        the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.  The  credit
34        is  not  available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any
HB2950 Enrolled             -18-               LRB9008806KDcd
 1        related party caused or contributed to, in  any  material
 2        respect,  a  release  of  regulated substances on, in, or
 3        under the site that was identified and addressed  by  the
 4        remedial  action pursuant to the Site Remediation Program
 5        of the Environmental Protection Act.  After the Pollution
 6        Control Board rules are adopted pursuant to the  Illinois
 7        Administrative  Procedure  Act for the administration and
 8        enforcement  of  Section  58.9   of   the   Environmental
 9        Protection  Act, determinations as to credit availability
10        for purposes of this Section  shall  be  made  consistent
11        with   those   rules.   For  purposes  of  this  Section,
12        "taxpayer" includes a person  whose  tax  attributes  the
13        taxpayer  has  succeeded  to  under  Section  381  of the
14        Internal Revenue Code and "related  party"  includes  the
15        persons  disallowed  a deduction for losses by paragraphs
16        (b), (c), and (f)(1)  of  Section  267  of  the  Internal
17        Revenue  Code  by  virtue of being a related taxpayer, as
18        well as any of its partners.  The credit allowed  against
19        the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) shall be equal
20        to  25% of the unreimbursed eligible remediation costs in
21        excess of $100,000 per site,  except  that  the  $100,000
22        threshold  shall  not  apply  to any site contained in an
23        enterprise zone and located in a  census  tract  that  is
24        located  in  a  minor  civil division and place or county
25        that has been determined by the  Department  of  Commerce

28        credit  allowed  shall not exceed $40,000 per year with a

 1             (ii)  A credit allowed under this subsection that is
 2        unused  in  the  year the credit is earned may be carried
 3        forward to each of the 5 taxable years following the year
 4        for which the credit is first earned until  it  is  used.
 5        The  term "unused credit" does not include any amounts of
 6        unreimbursed eligible remediation costs in excess of  the
 7        maximum  credit  per site authorized under paragraph (i).
 8        This credit shall be applied first to the  earliest  year
 9        for  which  there  is  a liability.  If there is a credit
10        under this subsection from more than one tax year that is
11        available to offset  a  liability,  the  earliest  credit
12        arising  under this subsection shall be applied first.  A
13        credit allowed under this subsection may  be  sold  to  a
14        buyer as part of a sale of all or part of the remediation
15        site  for which the credit was granted.  The purchaser of
16        a remediation site and the tax credit  shall  succeed  to
17        the  unused  credit and remaining carry-forward period of
18        the seller.  To perfect the transfer, the assignor  shall
19        record  the  transfer  in the chain of title for the site
20        and  provide  written  notice  to  the  Director  of  the
21        Illinois Department of Revenue of the  assignor's  intent
22        to  sell  the  remediation site and the amount of the tax
23        credit to be transferred as a portion of the sale.  In no
24        event may a credit be transferred to any taxpayer if  the
25        taxpayer  or  a related party would not be eligible under
26        the provisions of subsection (i).
27             (iii)  For purposes of this Section, the term "site"
28        shall have the same meaning as under Section 58.2 of  the
29        Environmental Protection Act.

29    for the tax imposed under this Act or  the  Service  Use  Tax
30    Act,  as  the  case may be, based on the fair market value of
31    the property at the time the non-qualifying use  occurs.   No
32    lessor shall collect or attempt to collect an amount (however

 2        Sec.  3-10.   Rate  of tax.  Unless otherwise provided in
 3    this Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the  rate  of
 4    6.25%  of  either the selling price or the fair market value,
 5    if any, of the tangible  personal  property.   In  all  cases
 6    where  property  functionally used or consumed is the same as
 7    the property that was purchased at retail, then  the  tax  is
 8    imposed  on  the selling price of the property.  In all cases
 9    where property functionally used or consumed is a  by-product
10    or  waste  product  that  has  been refined, manufactured, or
11    produced from property purchased at retail, then the  tax  is
12    imposed on the lower of the fair market value, if any, of the
13    specific  property  so  used  in this State or on the selling
14    price of the property purchased at retail.  For  purposes  of
15    this  Section  "fair  market  value" means the price at which
16    property would change hands between a  willing  buyer  and  a
17    willing  seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or
18    sell and both having reasonable  knowledge  of  the  relevant
19    facts. The fair market value shall be established by Illinois
20    sales   by   the  taxpayer  of  the  same  property  as  that
21    functionally used or consumed, or if there are no such  sales
22    by  the  taxpayer,  then  comparable  sales  or  purchases of
23    property of like kind and character in Illinois.
24        With respect to gasohol, the  tax  imposed  by  this  Act
25    applies  to  70%  of  the  proceeds of sales made on or after
26    January 1, 1990, and before July 1, 2003 1999, and to 100% of
27    the proceeds of sales made thereafter, except that from  July
28    1,  1997  to  July 1, 1999, the rate shall be 85% for gasohol
29    sold in this State during the  12  months  beginning  July  1
30    following  any  calendar  year  for  which the Department has
31    determined that the percentages in Section 10 of the  Gasohol

25    liable for the tax imposed under this Act or the Use Tax Act,

 7    has been issued an active tax exemption identification number
 8    by   the  Department  under  Section  1g  of  the  Retailers'
 9    Occupation Tax Act.  If the property is leased  in  a  manner
10    that  does  not  qualify for this exemption or is used in any
11    other non-exempt manner, the lessor shall be liable  for  the
12    tax  imposed  under  this Act or the Use Tax Act, as the case
13    may be, based on the fair market value of the property at the
14    time the non-qualifying use occurs.  No lessor shall  collect
15    or  attempt  to  collect  an amount (however designated) that
16    purports to reimburse that lessor for the tax imposed by this
17    Act or the Use Tax Act, as the case may be, if  the  tax  has
18    not been paid by the lessor.  If a lessor improperly collects
19    any  such  amount  from  the  lessee, the lessee shall have a
20    legal right to claim a refund of that amount from the lessor.
21    If, however, that amount is not refunded to  the  lessee  for

16        Sec. 3-10. Rate of tax.   Unless  otherwise  provided  in
17    this  Section,  the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of
18    6.25% of the "selling price", as defined in Section 2 of  the
19    Service  Use Tax Act, of the tangible personal property.  For
20    the purpose of computing this tax,  in  no  event  shall  the
21    "selling price" be less than the cost price to the serviceman
22    of  the  tangible personal property transferred.  The selling
23    price of each item of tangible personal property  transferred
24    as  an  incident  of  a  sale  of  service  may be shown as a
25    distinct and separate item on the serviceman's billing to the
26    service customer. If the selling price is not so  shown,  the
27    selling  price of the tangible personal property is deemed to
28    be 50% of the serviceman's  entire  billing  to  the  service
29    customer.   When,  however, a serviceman contracts to design,
30    develop, and produce special order  machinery  or  equipment,
31    the   tax   imposed  by  this  Act  shall  be  based  on  the
32    serviceman's cost price of  the  tangible  personal  property
33    transferred incident to the completion of the contract.

 1        With  respect  to gasohol, as defined in the Use Tax Act,
 2    the tax imposed by this Act shall apply to 70%  of  the  cost
 3    price  of  property transferred as an incident to the sale of
 4    service on or after January 1, 1990, and before July 1,  2003
 5    1999,  and  to 100% of the cost price thereafter, except that
 6    from July 1, 1997 to July 1, 1999, the rate shall be 85%  for
 7    gasohol  sold  in  this  State during the 12 months beginning
 8    July 1 following any calendar year for which  the  Department
 9    has  determined  that  the  percentages  in Section 10 of the

11        At the election of any  registered  serviceman  made  for

14    as  an  incident to the sales of service is less than 35%, or
15    75% in the case of servicemen transferring prescription drugs
16    or servicemen engaged in  graphic  arts  production,  of  the
17    aggregate  annual  total  gross  receipts  from  all sales of
18    service, the tax imposed by this Act shall be  based  on  the
19    serviceman's  cost  price  of  the tangible personal property
20    transferred incident to the sale of those services.
21        The tax shall be imposed  at  the  rate  of  1%  on  food
22    prepared  for  immediate consumption and transferred incident
23    to a sale of service subject  to  this  Act  or  the  Service
24    Occupation  Tax  Act by an entity licensed under the Hospital
25    Licensing Act or the Nursing Home Care Act.   The  tax  shall
26    also  be  imposed  at  the  rate  of  1%  on  food  for human
27    consumption that is to be consumed off the premises where  it
28    is  sold  (other  than  alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and
29    food that has been prepared for immediate consumption and  is
30    not  otherwise  included  in this paragraph) and prescription
31    and nonprescription  medicines,  drugs,  medical  appliances,
32    modifications to a motor vehicle for the purpose of rendering
33    it  usable  by  a disabled person, and insulin, urine testing

 2    drinks"   means   any   complete,   finished,   ready-to-use,
 3    non-alcoholic drink, whether carbonated or not, including but

13        Notwithstanding any other provisions of this  Act,  "food
14    for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises
