HB3383- 7 -LRB099 08863 HLH 29035 b

1under this Act, net of all credits allowed under this Act,
2shall equal (i) the total amount of tax that would be imposed

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

9    has been reduced to zero, against the rates imposed by
10    subsection (d).
11    This subsection (d-1) is exempt from the provisions of

13    (e) Investment credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit
14against the Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for
15investment in qualified property.
16        (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to .5%
17    of the basis of qualified property placed in service during
18    the taxable year, provided such property is placed in
19    service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed an
20    additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of qualified
21    property placed in service during the taxable year,
22    provided such property is placed in service on or after
23    July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment within
24    Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the preceding
25    year as determined by the taxpayer's employment records
26    filed with the Illinois Department of Employment Security.

 

 

HB3383- 9 -LRB099 08863 HLH 29035 b

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

 

 

HB3383- 10 -LRB099 08863 HLH 29035 b

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

 

 

HB3383- 11 -LRB099 08863 HLH 29035 b

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

 

 

HB3383- 12 -LRB099 08863 HLH 29035 b

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

 

 

HB3383- 13 -LRB099 08863 HLH 29035 b

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

 

 

HB3383- 14 -LRB099 08863 HLH 29035 b

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

1    tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for
2    investment in qualified property which is placed in service
3    in an Enterprise Zone created pursuant to the Illinois
4    Enterprise Zone Act or, for property placed in service on
5    or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge Redevelopment Zone
6    established pursuant to the River Edge Redevelopment Zone
7    Act. For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
8    corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
9    if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
10    purposes of federal and State income taxation, there shall
11    be allowed a credit under this subsection (f) to be
12    determined in accordance with the determination of income
13    and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
14    and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. The credit
15    shall be .5% of the basis for such property. The credit
16    shall be available only in the taxable year in which the
17    property is placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or
18    River Edge Redevelopment Zone and shall not be allowed to
19    the extent that it would reduce a taxpayer's liability for
20    the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section
21    to below zero. For tax years ending on or after December
22    31, 1985, the credit shall be allowed for the tax year in
23    which the property is placed in service, or, if the amount
24    of the credit exceeds the tax liability for that year,
25    whether it exceeds the original liability or the liability
26    as later amended, such excess may be carried forward and

 

 

HB3383- 16 -LRB099 08863 HLH 29035 b

1    applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable years
2    following the excess credit year. The credit shall be
3    applied to the earliest year for which there is a
4    liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
5    that is available to offset a liability, the credit
6    accruing first in time shall be applied first.
7        (2) The term qualified property means property which:
8            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including

10            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
11        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
12        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
13        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
14        (f);
15            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
16        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;

20        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
21        the credit provided by this subsection (f) or
22        subsection (e).
23        (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
24    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
25    income tax purposes.

1    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
2    in service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
3    Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer, the amount of such
4    increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
5    date of such increase in basis.
6        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
7    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
8        (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to

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

4    employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over
5    the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
6    employment records filed with the Illinois Department of
7    Employment Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois
8    shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
9    employment for the first year in which they file employment
10    records with the Illinois Department of Employment
11    Security. If, in any year, the increase in base employment
12    within Illinois over the preceding year is less than 1%,
13    the additional credit shall be limited to that percentage
14    times a fraction, the numerator of which is 0.5% and the
15    denominator of which is 1%, but shall not exceed 0.5%.

22    property which is placed in service by a Department of
23    Commerce and Economic Opportunity designated High Impact
24    Business. The credit shall be .5% of the basis for such
25    property. The credit shall not be available (i) until the
26    minimum investments in qualified property set forth in

 

 

HB3383- 19 -LRB099 08863 HLH 29035 b

1    subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois
2    Enterprise Zone Act have been satisfied or (ii) until the

5    Businesses under subdivisions (a)(3)(B), (a)(3)(C), and
6    (a)(3)(D) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone
7    Act, and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
8    reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by
9    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. The
10    credit applicable to such investments shall be taken in the
11    taxable year in which such investments have been completed.
12    The credit for additional investments beyond the minimum
13    investment by a designated high impact business authorized
14    under subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois
15    Enterprise Zone Act shall be available only in the taxable
16    year in which the property is placed in service and shall
17    not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
18    taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by subsections (a)
19    and (b) of this Section to below zero. For tax years ending
20    on or after December 31, 1987, the credit shall be allowed
21    for the tax year in which the property is placed in
22    service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax
23    liability for that year, whether it exceeds the original
24    liability or the liability as later amended, such excess
25    may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of
26    the 5 taxable years following the excess credit year. The

 

 

HB3383- 20 -LRB099 08863 HLH 29035 b

1    credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
2    there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
3    tax year that is available to offset a liability, the
4    credit accruing first in time shall be applied first.
5        Changes made in this subdivision (h)(1) by Public Act
6    88-670 restore changes made by Public Act 85-1182 and
7    reflect existing law.
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        (h);
16            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
17        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code; and
18            (D) is not eligible for the Enterprise Zone
19        Investment Credit provided by subsection (f) of this
20        Section.
21        (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
22    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
23    income tax purposes.
24        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
25    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
26    in service in a federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or

 

 

HB3383- 21 -LRB099 08863 HLH 29035 b

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

1    the taxpayer relocates its entire facility in violation of
2    the explicit terms and length of the contract under Section
3    18-183 of the Property Tax Code, the tax imposed under
4    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section shall be increased
5    for the taxable year in which the taxpayer relocated its
6    facility by an amount equal to the amount of credit
7    received by the taxpayer under this subsection (h).
8    (i) Credit for Personal Property Tax Replacement Income
9Tax. For tax years ending prior to December 31, 2003, a credit
10shall be allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and
11(b) of this Section for the tax imposed by subsections (c) and
12(d) of this Section. This credit shall be computed by
13multiplying the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
14Section by a fraction, the numerator of which is base income
15allocable to Illinois and the denominator of which is Illinois
16base income, and further multiplying the product by the tax
17rate imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section.
18    Any credit earned on or after December 31, 1986 under this
19subsection which is unused in the year the credit is computed
20because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by subsections (a)
21and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the original
22liability or the liability as later amended) may be carried
23forward and applied to the tax liability imposed by subsections
24(a) and (b) of the 5 taxable years following the excess credit
25year, provided that no credit may be carried forward to any
26year ending on or after December 31, 2003. This credit shall be

 

 

HB3383- 23 -LRB099 08863 HLH 29035 b

1applied first to the earliest year for which there is a
2liability. If there is a credit under this subsection from more
3than one tax year that is available to offset a liability the
4earliest credit arising under this subsection shall be applied
5first.
6    If, during any taxable year ending on or after December 31,
71986, the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
8Section for which a taxpayer has claimed a credit under this
9subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of credit for such tax
10shall also be reduced. Such reduction shall be determined by
11recomputing the credit to take into account the reduced tax
12imposed by subsections (c) and (d). If any portion of the
13reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different
14taxable year, an amended return shall be filed for such taxable
15year to reduce the amount of credit claimed.
16    (j) Training expense credit. Beginning with tax years
17ending on or after December 31, 1986 and prior to December 31,
182003, a taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the tax

20amounts paid or accrued, on behalf of all persons employed by
21the taxpayer in Illinois or Illinois residents employed outside
22of Illinois by a taxpayer, for educational or vocational
23training in semi-technical or technical fields or semi-skilled

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

2first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year ending
3prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any year
4ending on or after December 31, 2003.
5    If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
62 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
7year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
8given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
9remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
10applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
11liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
12credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
13following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
14that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
15than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the

12    release of regulated substances on, in, or under the site
13    that was identified and addressed by the remedial action
14    pursuant to the Site Remediation Program of the
15    Environmental Protection Act. After the Pollution Control
16    Board rules are adopted pursuant to the Illinois
17    Administrative Procedure Act for the administration and
18    enforcement of Section 58.9 of the Environmental

17    unused in the year the credit is earned may be carried
18    forward to each of the 5 taxable years following the year
19    for which the credit is first earned until it is used. The
20    term "unused credit" does not include any amounts of
21    unreimbursed eligible remediation costs in excess of the
22    maximum credit per site authorized under paragraph (i).
23    This credit shall be applied first to the earliest year for

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