|
| 1 | | AN ACT concerning revenue.
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 | | Section 5. The Illinois Income Tax Act is amended by | 5 | | changing Section 211 as follows:
| 6 | | (35 ILCS 5/211)
| 7 | | Sec. 211. Economic Development for a Growing Economy Tax | 8 | | Credit. For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 1999, a | 9 | | Taxpayer
who has entered into an Agreement under the Economic | 10 | | Development for a Growing
Economy Tax Credit Act is entitled to | 11 | | a credit against the taxes imposed
under subsections (a) and | 12 | | (b) of Section 201 of this Act in an amount to be
determined in | 13 | | the Agreement. If the Taxpayer is a partnership or Subchapter
S | 14 | | corporation, the credit shall be allowed to the partners or | 15 | | shareholders in
accordance with the determination of income and | 16 | | distributive share of income
under Sections 702 and 704 and | 17 | | subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.
The Department, in | 18 | | cooperation with the Department
of Commerce and Economic | 19 | | Opportunity, shall prescribe rules to enforce and
administer | 20 | | the provisions of this Section. This Section is
exempt from the | 21 | | provisions of Section 250 of this Act.
| 22 | | The credit shall be subject to the conditions set forth in
| 23 | | the Agreement and the following limitations:
|
| | | HB0967 | - 2 - | LRB098 02808 HLH 32816 b |
|
| 1 | | (1) The tax credit shall not exceed the Incremental | 2 | | Income Tax
(as defined in Section 5-5 of the Economic | 3 | | Development for a Growing Economy
Tax Credit Act) with | 4 | | respect to the project.
| 5 | | (2) The amount of the credit allowed during the tax | 6 | | year plus the sum of
all amounts allowed in prior years | 7 | | shall not exceed 100% of the aggregate
amount expended by | 8 | | the Taxpayer during all prior tax years on approved costs
| 9 | | defined by Agreement.
| 10 | | (3) The amount of the credit shall be determined on an | 11 | | annual
basis. Except as applied in a carryover year | 12 | | pursuant to Section 211(4) of
this Act, the credit may not | 13 | | be applied against any State
income tax liability in more | 14 | | than 10 taxable
years; provided, however, that (i) an | 15 | | eligible business certified by the
Department of Commerce | 16 | | and Economic Opportunity under the Corporate Headquarters
| 17 | | Relocation Act may not
apply the credit against any of its | 18 | | State income tax liability in more than 15
taxable years
| 19 | | and (ii) credits allowed to that eligible business are | 20 | | subject to the
conditions
and requirements set forth in | 21 | | Sections 5-35 and 5-45 of the Economic
Development for a | 22 | | Growing Economy Tax Credit Act.
| 23 | | (4) If the amount of the credit exceeds the tax | 24 | | liability for the year the credit is computed, whether it | 25 | | exceeds the original liability or the liability as later | 26 | | amended, the Taxpayer may elect to have the excess credit |
| | | HB0967 | - 3 - | LRB098 02808 HLH 32816 b |
|
| 1 | | (i) The credit may not exceed the amount of taxes imposed | 2 | | pursuant to
subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of this | 3 | | Act. Any credit
that is unused in the year the credit is | 4 | | computed may be carried forward and
applied to the tax | 5 | | liability of the 5 taxable years following the excess | 6 | | credit
year or (ii) refunded the Taxpayer . If the credit is | 7 | | carried forward, the excess The credit shall be applied to | 8 | | the earliest year for which there is a
tax liability. If | 9 | | there are credits from more than one tax year that are
| 10 | | available to offset a liability, the earlier credit shall | 11 | | be applied first.
| 12 | | (5) No credit shall be allowed with respect to any | 13 | | Agreement for any
taxable year ending after the | 14 | | Noncompliance Date. Upon receiving notification
by the | 15 | | Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity of the | 16 | | noncompliance of a
Taxpayer with an Agreement, the | 17 | | Department shall notify the Taxpayer that no
credit is | 18 | | allowed with respect to that Agreement for any taxable year | 19 | | ending
after the Noncompliance Date, as stated in such | 20 | | notification. If any credit
has been allowed with respect | 21 | | to an Agreement for a taxable year ending after
the | 22 | | Noncompliance Date for that Agreement, any refund paid to | 23 | | the
Taxpayer for that taxable year shall, to the extent of | 24 | | that credit allowed, be
an erroneous refund within the | 25 | | meaning of Section 912 of this Act.
| 26 | | (6) For purposes of this Section, the terms |
| | | HB0967 | - 4 - | LRB098 02808 HLH 32816 b |
|
| 1 | | "Agreement", "Incremental
Income Tax", and "Noncompliance | 2 | | Date" have the same meaning as when used
in the Economic | 3 | | Development for a Growing Economy Tax Credit Act.

| 17 | | (b) Notwithstanding subsection (a),
and except as the | 18 | | credit may be applied in a carryover year pursuant to Section
| 19 | | 211(4) of the Illinois Income Tax Act, the credit may be | 20 | | applied against the
State income tax liability in more than 10 | 21 | | taxable years but not in more than
15 taxable years for an | 22 | | eligible business
that (i) qualifies under this Act
and the | 23 | | Corporate Headquarters Relocation Act and has in fact | 24 | | undertaken a
