2domicile if that net income were subject to all income taxes
3and taxes measured by net income imposed by such foreign
4insurer's state or country of domicile, net of all credits
5allowed or (ii) a rate of zero if no such tax is imposed on such

SB0078- 11 -LRB097 05759 HLH 45823 b

1        (2) Any reduction in the rates of tax imposed by this
2    subsection shall be applied first against the rates imposed
3    by subsection (b) and only after the tax imposed by

5    Section other than the credit allowed under subsection (i)
6    has been reduced to zero, against the rates imposed by
7    subsection (d).
8    This subsection (d-1) is exempt from the provisions of

10    (e) Investment credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit
11against the Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for
12investment in qualified property.
13        (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to .5%
14    of the basis of qualified property placed in service during
15    the taxable year, provided such property is placed in
16    service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed an
17    additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of qualified
18    property placed in service during the taxable year,
19    provided such property is placed in service on or after
20    July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment within
21    Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the preceding
22    year as determined by the taxpayer's employment records
23    filed with the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
24    Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be deemed to have
25    met the 1% growth in base employment for the first year in
26    which they file employment records with the Illinois

 

 

SB0078- 12 -LRB097 05759 HLH 45823 b

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

 

 

SB0078- 13 -LRB097 05759 HLH 45823 b

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

 

 

SB0078- 14 -LRB097 05759 HLH 45823 b

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

 

 

SB0078- 15 -LRB097 05759 HLH 45823 b

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

 

 

SB0078- 16 -LRB097 05759 HLH 45823 b

1    Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year shall be
2    increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
3    recomputing the investment credit which would have been
4    allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
5    originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
6    computation and, (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
7    from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
8    purposes of this paragraph (7), a reduction of the basis of
9    qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
10    purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
11    property to the extent of such reduction.
12        (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
13    the basis of qualified property shall not include costs
14    incurred after December 31, 2013, except for costs incurred

21    credit allocated to him or her under this paragraph only
22    against the tax imposed in subsections (c) and (d) of this
23    Section. If the partnership makes that election, those
24    credits shall be allocated among the partners in the
25    partnership in accordance with the rules set forth in
26    Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the rules

 

 

SB0078- 17 -LRB097 05759 HLH 45823 b

2    the credits shall be allowed to the partners for that

9    under subparagraph (I) of paragraph (2) of subsection (d)
10    of Section 203 or a shareholder that qualifies a Subchapter
11    S corporation for a subtraction under subparagraph (S) of
12    paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 203 shall be
13    allowed a credit under this subsection (e) equal to its
14    share of the credit earned under this subsection (e) during
15    the taxable year by the partnership or Subchapter S

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

 

 

SB0078- 19 -LRB097 05759 HLH 45823 b

1    liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
2    that is available to offset a liability, the credit

4        (2) The term qualified property means property which:
5            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
6        buildings and structural components of buildings;
7            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
8        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
9        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
10        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
11        (f);
12            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
13        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
14            (D) is used in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
15        Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer; and
16            (E) has not been previously used in Illinois in
17        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
18        the credit provided by this subsection (f) or
19        subsection (e).

21    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
22    income tax purposes.
23        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax

1    increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
2    date of such increase in basis.

4    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
5        (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
6    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
7    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
8    any qualified property is moved outside the Enterprise Zone
9    or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months after
10    being placed in service, the tax imposed under subsections
11    (a) and (b) of this Section 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 (6), 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        (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
23    to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
24    service during the taxable year in a River Edge
25    Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
26    service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base

5    shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
6    employment for the first year in which they file employment
7    records with the Illinois Department of Employment
8    Security. If, in any year, the increase in base employment
9    within Illinois over the preceding year is less than 1%,
10    the additional credit shall be limited to that percentage
11    times a fraction, the numerator of which is 0.5% and the
12    denominator of which is 1%, but shall not exceed 0.5%.

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

12    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
13    in service in a federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or

1    by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
2    been allowed for the year in which credit for such property
3    was originally allowed by eliminating such property from
4    such computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed
5    credit from the amount of credit previously allowed. For
6    the purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the
7    basis of qualified property resulting from a

9    disposition of qualified property to the extent of such
10    reduction.

SB0078- 28 -LRB097 05759 HLH 45823 b

1Section by a fraction, the numerator of which is base income

7because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by subsections (a)
8and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the original
9liability or the liability as later amended) may be carried
10forward and applied to the tax liability imposed by subsections
11(a) and (b) of the 5 taxable years following the excess credit
12year, provided that no credit may be carried forward to any
13year ending on or after December 31, 2003. This credit shall be

16than one tax year that is available to offset a liability the
17earliest credit arising under this subsection shall be applied
18first.
19    If, during any taxable year ending on or after December 31,
201986, the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
21Section for which a taxpayer has claimed a credit under this
22subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of credit for such tax
23shall also be reduced. Such reduction shall be determined by
24recomputing the credit to take into account the reduced tax
25imposed by subsections (c) and (d). If any portion of the
26reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different

 

 

SB0078- 29 -LRB097 05759 HLH 45823 b

1taxable year, an amended return shall be filed for such taxable
2year to reduce the amount of credit claimed.

14training expenses. For partners, shareholders of subchapter S
15corporations, and owners of limited liability companies, if the
16liability company is treated as a partnership for purposes of

19with the determination of income and distributive share of
20income under Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the

6"qualifying expenditures for the base period" means the average
7of the qualifying expenditures for each year in the base
8period, and "base period" means the 3 taxable years immediately
9preceding the taxable year for which the determination is being
10made.
11    Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the taxable
12year may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
13unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over
14as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
15taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever occurs
16first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year ending

19carried forward to any taxable year ending on or after January
201, 2011.
21    If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
222 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
23year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
24given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
25remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
26applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
