1under paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 304, except
2that for purposes of this determination premiums from
3reinsurance do not include premiums from inter-affiliate
4reinsurance arrangements), beginning with taxable years ending
5on or after December 31, 1999, the sum of the rates of tax
6imposed by subsections (b) and (d) shall be reduced (but not
7increased) to the rate at which the total amount of tax imposed
8under this Act, net of all credits allowed under this Act,
9shall equal (i) the total amount of tax that would be imposed
10on the foreign insurer's net income allocable to Illinois for
11the taxable year by such foreign insurer's state or country of
12domicile if that net income were subject to all income taxes
13and taxes measured by net income imposed by such foreign
14insurer's state or country of domicile, net of all credits

SB0687 Engrossed- 8 -LRB101 04448 HLH 49456 b

1        tax imposed by Section 12 of the Fire Investigation
2        Act, and the fire department taxes imposed under
3        Section 11-10-1 of the Illinois Municipal Code,
4    equals 1.25% for taxable years ending prior to December 31,

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

 

 

SB0687 Engrossed- 9 -LRB101 04448 HLH 49456 b

1    additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of qualified
2    property placed in service during the taxable year,
3    provided such property is placed in service on or after
4    July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment within
5    Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the preceding
6    year as determined by the taxpayer's employment records
7    filed with the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
8    Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be deemed to have
9    met the 1% growth in base employment for the first year in
10    which they file employment records with the Illinois
11    Department of Employment Security. The provisions added to
12    this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored by Public
13    Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of existing
14    law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year, the
15    increase in base employment within Illinois over the
16    preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit shall
17    be limited to that percentage times a fraction, the
18    numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is
19    1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall
20    not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
21    taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may
22    any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year
23    other than the year in which the property was placed in
24    service in Illinois. For tax years ending on or after
25    December 31, 1987, and on or before December 31, 1988, the
26    credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the

 

 

SB0687 Engrossed- 10 -LRB101 04448 HLH 49456 b

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

 

 

SB0687 Engrossed- 11 -LRB101 04448 HLH 49456 b

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

 

 

SB0687 Engrossed- 12 -LRB101 04448 HLH 49456 b

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

 

 

SB0687 Engrossed- 13 -LRB101 04448 HLH 49456 b

1    in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of such
2    increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
3    date of such increase in basis.
4        (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
5    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
6        (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
7    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
8    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
9    any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
10    months after being placed in service, the Personal Property
11    Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year shall be
12    increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
13    recomputing the investment credit which would have been
14    allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
15    originally 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 (7), a reduction of the basis of
19    qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
20    purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
21    property to the extent of such reduction.
22        (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
23    the basis of qualified property shall not include costs
24    incurred after December 31, 2018, except for costs incurred
25    pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or before
26    December 31, 2018.

1        (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000,
2    a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners the
3    credits to which the partnership is entitled under this
4    subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may use the
5    credit allocated to him or her under this paragraph only
6    against the tax imposed in subsections (c) and (d) of this
7    Section. If the partnership makes that election, those
8    credits shall be allocated among the partners in the
9    partnership in accordance with the rules set forth in
10    Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the rules
11    promulgated under that Section, and the allocated amount of
12    the credits shall be allowed to the partners for that
13    taxable year. The partnership shall make this election on
14    its Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax return for
15    that taxable year. The election to pass through the credits
16    shall be irrevocable.
17        For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2000,
18    a partner that qualifies its partnership for a subtraction
19    under subparagraph (I) of paragraph (2) of subsection (d)
20    of Section 203 or a shareholder that qualifies a Subchapter
21    S corporation for a subtraction under subparagraph (S) of
22    paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 203 shall be
23    allowed a credit under this subsection (e) equal to its
24    share of the credit earned under this subsection (e) during
25    the taxable year by the partnership or Subchapter S
26    corporation, determined in accordance with the

 

 

SB0687 Engrossed- 15 -LRB101 04448 HLH 49456 b

1    determination of income and distributive share of income
2    under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal

11    Enterprise Zone Act or, for property placed in service on
12    or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge Redevelopment Zone
13    established pursuant to the River Edge Redevelopment Zone
14    Act. For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
15    corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
16    if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
17    purposes of federal and State income taxation, there shall
18    be allowed a credit under this subsection (f) to be
19    determined in accordance with the determination of income
20    and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
21    and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. The credit
22    shall be .5% of the basis for such property. The credit
23    shall be available only in the taxable year in which the
24    property is placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or
25    River Edge Redevelopment Zone and shall not be allowed to

SB0687 Engrossed- 16 -LRB101 04448 HLH 49456 b

1    the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section
2    to below zero. For tax years ending on or after December
3    31, 1985, the credit shall be allowed for the tax year in
4    which the property is placed in service, or, if the amount
5    of the credit exceeds the tax liability for that year,
6    whether it exceeds the original liability or the liability
7    as later amended, such excess may be carried forward and
8    applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable years
9    following the excess credit year. The credit shall be
10    applied to the earliest year for which there is a
11    liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
12    that is available to offset a liability, the credit
13    accruing first in time shall be applied first.
14        (2) The term qualified property means property which:
15            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
16        buildings and structural components of buildings;

20        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
21        (f);
22            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section

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

 

 

SB0687 Engrossed- 18 -LRB101 04448 HLH 49456 b

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

6    property. The credit shall not be available (i) until the
7    minimum investments in qualified property set forth in
8    subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois
9    Enterprise Zone Act have been satisfied or (ii) until the
10    time authorized in subsection (b-5) of the Illinois

12    Businesses under subdivisions (a)(3)(B), (a)(3)(C), and
13    (a)(3)(D) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone
14    Act, and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
15    reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by
16    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. The
17    credit applicable to such investments shall be taken in the
18    taxable year in which such investments have been completed.
19    The credit for additional investments beyond the minimum
20    investment by a designated high impact business authorized
21    under subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois
22    Enterprise Zone Act shall be available only in the taxable
23    year in which the property is placed in service and shall
24    not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
25    taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by subsections (a)
26    and (b) of this Section to below zero. For tax years ending

 

 

SB0687 Engrossed- 20 -LRB101 04448 HLH 49456 b

1    on or after December 31, 1987, the credit shall be allowed
2    for the tax year in which the property is placed in
3    service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax
4    liability for that year, whether it exceeds the original
5    liability or the liability as later amended, such excess
6    may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of
7    the 5 taxable years following the excess credit year. The
8    credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
9    there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
10    tax year that is available to offset a liability, the
11    credit accruing first in time shall be applied first.
12        Changes made in this subdivision (h)(1) by Public Act
13    88-670 restore changes made by Public Act 85-1182 and
14    reflect existing law.
15        (2) The term qualified property means property which:
16            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
17        buildings and structural components of buildings;
18            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
19        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
20        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
21        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
22        (h);
23            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section

SB0687 Engrossed- 21 -LRB101 04448 HLH 49456 b

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

 

 

SB0687 Engrossed- 22 -LRB101 04448 HLH 49456 b

1    basis of qualified property resulting from a
2    redetermination of the purchase price shall be deemed a
3    disposition of qualified property to the extent of such
4    reduction.
5        (7) Beginning with tax years ending after December 31,
6    1996, if a taxpayer qualifies for the credit under this
7    subsection (h) and thereby is granted a tax abatement and
8    the taxpayer relocates its entire facility in violation of
9    the explicit terms and length of the contract under Section
10    18-183 of the Property Tax Code, the tax imposed under
11    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section shall be increased
12    for the taxable year in which the taxpayer relocated its
13    facility by an amount equal to the amount of credit
14    received by the taxpayer under this subsection (h).
15    (i) Credit for Personal Property Tax Replacement Income
16Tax. For tax years ending prior to December 31, 2003, a credit
17shall be allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and
18(b) of this Section for the tax imposed by subsections (c) and
19(d) of this Section. This credit shall be computed by
20multiplying the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
21Section by a fraction, the numerator of which is base income
22allocable to Illinois and the denominator of which is Illinois
23base income, and further multiplying the product by the tax
24rate imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section.
25    Any credit earned on or after December 31, 1986 under this
26subsection which is unused in the year the credit is computed

1because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by subsections (a)
2and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the original
3liability or the liability as later amended) may be carried
4forward and applied to the tax liability imposed by subsections
5(a) and (b) of the 5 taxable years following the excess credit
6year, provided that no credit may be carried forward to any
7year ending on or after December 31, 2003. This credit shall be
8applied first to the earliest year for which there is a
9liability. If there is a credit under this subsection from more
10than one tax year that is available to offset a liability the
11earliest credit arising under this subsection shall be applied
12first.
13    If, during any taxable year ending on or after December 31,
141986, the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
15Section for which a taxpayer has claimed a credit under this
16subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of credit for such tax
17shall also be reduced. Such reduction shall be determined by
18recomputing the credit to take into account the reduced tax
19imposed by subsections (c) and (d). If any portion of the
20reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different
21taxable year, an amended return shall be filed for such taxable
22year to reduce the amount of credit claimed.
23    (j) Training expense credit. Beginning with tax years
24ending on or after December 31, 1986 and prior to December 31,
252003, a taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the tax

2the taxpayer in Illinois or Illinois residents employed outside
3of Illinois by a taxpayer, for educational or vocational
4training in semi-technical or technical fields or semi-skilled
5or skilled fields, which were deducted from gross income in the
6computation of taxable income. The credit against the tax
7imposed by subsections (a) and (b) shall be 1.6% of such
8training expenses. For partners, shareholders of subchapter S
9corporations, and owners of limited liability companies, if the
10liability company is treated as a partnership for purposes of
11federal and State income taxation, there shall be allowed a
12credit under this subsection (j) to be determined in accordance
13with the determination of income and distributive share of
14income under Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the
15Internal Revenue Code.
16    Any credit allowed under this subsection which is unused in
17the year the credit is earned may be carried forward to each of
18the 5 taxable years following the year for which the credit is
19first computed until it is used. This credit shall be applied
20first to the earliest year for which there is a liability. If
21there is a credit under this subsection from more than one tax
22year that is available to offset a liability the earliest
23credit arising under this subsection shall be applied first. No
24carryforward credit may be claimed in any tax year ending on or
25after December 31, 2003.

2beginning again for tax years ending on or after December 31,
32004, and ending prior to January 1, 2022, a taxpayer shall be
4allowed a credit against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and
5(b) of this Section for increasing research activities in this
6State. The credit allowed against the tax imposed by
7subsections (a) and (b) shall be equal to 6 1/2% of the
8qualifying expenditures for increasing research activities in
9this State. For partners, shareholders of subchapter S
10corporations, and owners of limited liability companies, if the
11liability company is treated as a partnership for purposes of
12federal and State income taxation, there shall be allowed a
13credit under this subsection to be determined in accordance
14with the determination of income and distributive share of
15income under Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the
16Internal Revenue Code.
17    For purposes of this subsection, "qualifying expenditures"
18means the qualifying expenditures as defined for the federal
19credit for increasing research activities which would be
20allowable under Section 41 of the Internal Revenue Code and
21which are conducted in this State, "qualifying expenditures for
22increasing research activities in this State" means the excess
23of qualifying expenditures for the taxable year in which
24incurred over qualifying expenditures for the base period,
25"qualifying expenditures for the base period" means the average
26of the qualifying expenditures for each year in the base

1period, and "base period" means the 3 taxable years immediately
2preceding the taxable year for which the determination is being
3made.
4    Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the taxable
5year may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
6unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over
7as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
8taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever occurs
9first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year ending
10prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any year
11ending on or after December 31, 2003.
12    If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
132 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
14year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
15given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
16remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
17applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
18liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
19credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
20following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
21that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
22than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
23credit is given was incurred.
24    No inference shall be drawn from this amendatory Act of the
2591st General Assembly in construing this Section for taxable
26years beginning before January 1, 1999.

 

 

SB0687 Engrossed- 27 -LRB101 04448 HLH 49456 b

42004 and ending prior to January 1, 2022, including, but not
5limited to, the period beginning on January 1, 2016 and ending
6on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th
7General Assembly. All actions taken in reliance on the

10    (l) Environmental Remediation Tax Credit.
11        (i) For tax years ending after December 31, 1997 and on
12    or before December 31, 2001, a taxpayer shall be allowed a
13    credit against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b)
14    of this Section for certain amounts paid for unreimbursed
15    eligible remediation costs, as specified in this
16    subsection. For purposes of this Section, "unreimbursed
17    eligible remediation costs" means costs approved by the
18    Illinois Environmental Protection Agency ("Agency") under
19    Section 58.14 of the Environmental Protection Act that were
20    paid in performing environmental remediation at a site for
21    which a No Further Remediation Letter was issued by the
22    Agency and recorded under Section 58.10 of the
23    Environmental Protection Act. The credit must be claimed
24    for the taxable year in which Agency approval of the
25    eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit is not
26    available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any related

 

 

SB0687 Engrossed- 28 -LRB101 04448 HLH 49456 b

1    party caused or contributed to, in any material respect, a
2    release of regulated substances on, in, or under the site
3    that was identified and addressed by the remedial action
4    pursuant to the Site Remediation Program of the
5    Environmental Protection Act. After the Pollution Control
6    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 with
11    those rules. For purposes of this Section, "taxpayer"
12    includes a person whose tax attributes the taxpayer has
13    succeeded to under Section 381 of the Internal Revenue Code
14    and "related party" includes the persons disallowed a
15    deduction for losses by paragraphs (b), (c), and (f)(1) of
16    Section 267 of the Internal Revenue Code by virtue of being

18    credit allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a)
19    and (b) shall be equal to 25% of the unreimbursed eligible
20    remediation costs in excess of $100,000 per site, except
21    that the $100,000 threshold shall not apply to any site
22    contained in an enterprise zone as determined by the
23    Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
24    Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity). The
25    total credit allowed shall not exceed $40,000 per year with
26    a maximum total of $150,000 per site. For partners and

 

 

SB0687 Engrossed- 29 -LRB101 04448 HLH 49456 b

1    shareholders of subchapter S corporations, there shall be
2    allowed a credit under this subsection to be determined in
3    accordance with the determination of income and
4    distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704 and
5    subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.
6        (ii) A credit allowed under this subsection that is
7    unused in the year the credit is earned may be carried
8    forward to each of the 5 taxable years following the year
9    for which the credit is first earned until it is used. The
10    term "unused credit" does not include any amounts of
11    unreimbursed eligible remediation costs in excess of the
12    maximum credit per site authorized under paragraph (i).
13    This credit shall be applied first to the earliest year for
14    which there is a liability. If there is a credit under this
15    subsection from more than one tax year that is available to
16    offset a liability, the earliest credit arising under this
17    subsection shall be applied first. A credit allowed under
18    this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a sale of
19    all or part of the remediation site for which the credit
20    was granted. The purchaser of a remediation site and the
21    tax credit shall succeed to the unused credit and remaining
22    carry-forward period of the seller. To perfect the
23    transfer, the assignor shall record the transfer in the
24    chain of title for the site and provide written notice to
25    the Director of the Illinois Department of Revenue of the
26    assignor's intent to sell the remediation site and the

 

 

SB0687 Engrossed- 30 -LRB101 04448 HLH 49456 b

1    amount of the tax credit to be transferred as a portion of
2    the sale. In no event may a credit be transferred to any
3    taxpayer if the taxpayer or a related party would not be
4    eligible under the provisions of subsection (i).
5        (iii) For purposes of this Section, the term "site"
6    shall have the same meaning as under Section 58.2 of the
7    Environmental Protection Act.
8    (m) Education expense credit. Beginning with tax years
9ending after December 31, 1999, a taxpayer who is the custodian
10of one or more qualifying pupils shall be allowed a credit
11against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this
12Section for qualified education expenses incurred on behalf of
13the qualifying pupils. The credit shall be equal to 25% of
14qualified education expenses, but in no event may the total
15credit under this subsection claimed by a family that is the
16custodian of qualifying pupils exceed (i) $500 for tax years
17ending prior to December 31, 2017, and (ii) $750 for tax years
18ending on or after December 31, 2017. In no event shall a
19credit under this subsection reduce the taxpayer's liability
20under this Act to less than zero. Notwithstanding any other
21provision of law, for taxable years beginning on or after
22January 1, 2017, no taxpayer may claim a credit under this
23subsection (m) if the taxpayer's adjusted gross income for the
24taxable year exceeds (i) $500,000, in the case of spouses
25filing a joint federal tax return or (ii) $250,000, in the case
26of all other taxpayers. This subsection is exempt from the

12    58.10 of the Environmental Protection Act. The credit must
13    be claimed for the taxable year in which Agency approval of
14    the eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit is
15    not available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any
16    related party caused or contributed to, in any material
17    respect, a release of regulated substances on, in, or under
18    the site that was identified and addressed by the remedial
19    action pursuant to the Site Remediation Program of the
20    Environmental Protection Act. Determinations as to credit
21    availability for purposes of this Section shall be made
22    consistent with rules adopted by the Pollution Control

14    credit shall be applied first to the earliest year for
15    which there is a liability. If there is a credit under this
16    subsection from more than one tax year that is available to
17    offset a liability, the earliest credit arising under this
18    subsection shall be applied first. A credit allowed under
19    this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a sale of
20    all or part of the remediation site for which the credit
21    was granted. The purchaser of a remediation site and the
22    tax credit shall succeed to the unused credit and remaining

7    shall have the same meaning as under Section 58.2 of the
8    Environmental Protection Act.

12capital assets, depreciable business property, real property
13used in the trade or business, and Section 197 intangibles of
14an organization registrant under the Compassionate Use of
15Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act. The amount of the surcharge
16is equal to the amount of federal income tax liability for the
17taxable year attributable to those sales and exchanges. The
18surcharge imposed does not apply if:

5        relieved of liability for tax (including interest and

7        return has been made, upon submission of proof that the
8        Internal Revenue Service has made a determination
9        under Section 6013(e) of the Internal Revenue Code, for
10        the same taxable year, which determination relieved
11        the spouse from liability for federal income taxes. If
12        there is no federal income tax liability at issue for
13        the same taxable year, the Department shall rely on the
14        provisions of Section 6013(e) to determine whether the
15        person requesting innocent spouse abatement of tax,
16        penalty, and interest is entitled to that relief.
17            (B) For tax liabilities arising on and after August
18        13, 1999 or which arose prior to that date, but remain
19        unpaid as of that date, if an individual who filed a
20        joint return for any taxable year has made an election
21        under this paragraph, the individual's liability for
22        any tax shown on the joint return shall not exceed the
23        individual's separate return amount and the
24        individual's liability for any deficiency assessed for
25        that taxable year shall not exceed the portion of the

4            constitute an election under this paragraph,
5            provided that the election shall not be effective
6            until the individual has notified the Department
7            of the election in the form and manner prescribed
8            by the Department.
9                (ii) If no election has been made under Section
10            6015, the individual may make an election under
11            this paragraph in the form and manner prescribed by
12            the Department, provided that no election may be
13            made if the Department finds that assets were
14            transferred between individuals filing a joint
15            return as part of a scheme by such individuals to
16            avoid payment of Illinois income tax and the
17            election shall not eliminate the individual's
18            liability for any portion of a deficiency
19            attributable to an error on the return of which the
20            individual had actual knowledge as of the date of
21            filing.
22                (iii) In determining the separate return
23            amount or portion of any deficiency attributable
24            to an individual, the Department shall follow the
25            provisions in subsections (c) and (d) of Section
26            6015 of the Internal Revenue Code.

6            Secretary of the Treasury, by the United States Tax
7            Court on petition for review of a determination by
8            the Secretary of the Treasury, or on appeal from
9            the United States Tax Court under Section 6015 of

19            the federal courts, in any proceeding involving
20            this subsection, the individual making the
