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

13    has been reduced to zero, against the rates imposed by
14    subsection (d).

21    of the basis of qualified property placed in service
22    during the taxable year, provided such property is placed
23    in service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed
24    an additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of
25    qualified property placed in service during the taxable
26    year, provided such property is placed in service on or

 

 

HB4932- 13 -LRB102 23180 HLH 32342 b

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

 

 

HB4932- 14 -LRB102 23180 HLH 32342 b

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

15    that term is used in the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
16    and, for taxable years ending after December 31, 2008,
17    does not include the generation, transmission, or
18    distribution of electricity.
19        (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
20    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
21    income tax purposes.
22        (5) If the basis of the property for federal income

11    been allowed for the year in which credit for such
12    property was originally allowed by eliminating such
13    property from such computation and, (ii) subtracting such
14    recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
15    allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (7), a
16    reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
17    from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be
18    deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
19    of such reduction.

2    this subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may
3    use the credit allocated to him or her under this
4    paragraph only against the tax imposed in subsections (c)

6    election, those credits shall be allocated among the
7    partners in the partnership in accordance with the rules
8    set forth in Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code,
9    and the rules promulgated under that Section, and the
10    allocated amount of the credits shall be allowed to the
11    partners for that taxable year. The partnership shall make
12    this election on its Personal Property Tax Replacement
13    Income Tax return for that taxable year. The election to
14    pass through the credits shall be irrevocable.
15        For taxable years ending on or after December 31,

17    subtraction under subparagraph (I) of paragraph (2) of
18    subsection (d) of Section 203 or a shareholder that
19    qualifies a Subchapter S corporation for a subtraction
20    under subparagraph (S) of paragraph (2) of subsection (b)

10    service on or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge
11    Redevelopment Zone established pursuant to the River Edge
12    Redevelopment Zone Act. For partners, shareholders of

12        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
13    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
14        (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
15    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
16    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
17    any qualified property is moved outside the Enterprise
18    Zone or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months
19    after being placed in service, the tax imposed under
20    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable
21    year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
22    by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
23    been allowed for the year in which credit for such
24    property was originally allowed by eliminating such
25    property from such computation, and (ii) subtracting such
26    recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously

7    to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
8    service during the taxable year in a River Edge

15    shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
16    employment for the first year in which they file
17    employment records with the Illinois Department of
18    Employment Security. If, in any year, the increase in base
19    employment within Illinois over the preceding year is less
20    than 1%, the additional credit shall be limited to that
21    percentage times a fraction, the numerator of which is
22    0.5% and the denominator of which is 1%, but shall not
23    exceed 0.5%.
24        (8) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1,
25    2021, there shall be allowed an Enterprise Zone

1    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section as provided in
2    Section 13 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act.
3        The credit or credits may not reduce the taxpayer's
4    liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or
5    credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may
6    be carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's
7    liability in succeeding calendar years in the same manner
8    provided under paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act.
9    The credit or credits shall be applied to the earliest
10    year for which there is a tax liability. If there are
11    credits from more than one taxable year that are available
12    to offset a liability, the earlier credit shall be applied
13    first.
14        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    the purposes of federal and State income taxation, there

19    determined in accordance with the determination of income
20    and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and

1    would have been allowed for the year in which credit for
2    such property was originally allowed by eliminating such

3carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's liability
4in succeeding calendar years in the manner provided under
5paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act. The credit or credits

26of the 5 taxable years following the year for which the credit

 

 

HB4932- 31 -LRB102 23180 HLH 32342 b

1is first computed until it is used. This credit shall be
2applied first to the earliest year for which there is a
3liability. If there is a credit under this subsection from
4more than one tax year that is available to offset a liability,
5the earliest credit arising under this subsection shall be
6applied first. No carryforward credit may be claimed in any
7tax year ending on or after December 31, 2003.

4for increasing research activities in this State" means the
5excess of qualifying expenditures for the taxable year in
6which incurred over qualifying expenditures for the base
7period, "qualifying expenditures for the base period" means
8the average of the qualifying expenditures for each year in
9the base period, and "base period" means the 3 taxable years

14unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over
15as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
16taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever
17occurs first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year
18ending prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any
19year ending on or after December 31, 2003.
20    If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
212 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
22year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
23given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
24remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
25applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
26liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused

4than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
5credit is given was incurred.

2    effect under paragraph (1) shall not be required to file
3    an income tax return under this Act for such taxable year
4    if the only source of net income of the individual (or the
5    individual and the individual's spouse in the case of a
6    joint return) is from an entity making the election under
7    paragraph (1) and the credit allowed to the partner or
8    shareholder under paragraph (4) equals or exceeds the

10    subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of this Act for the
11    taxable year.
12        (6) Liability for tax. Except as provided in this
13    paragraph, a partnership or Subchapter S making the
14    election under paragraph (1) is liable for the
15    entity-level tax imposed under paragraph (2). If the
16    electing partnership or corporation fails to pay the full
17    amount of tax deemed assessed under paragraph (2), the
18    partners or shareholders shall be liable to pay the tax
19    assessed (including penalties and interest). Each partner
20    or shareholder shall be liable for the unpaid assessment

23    income of the partnership. If the partnership or
24    Subchapter S corporation fails to pay the tax assessed
25    (including penalties and interest) and thereafter an
26    amount of such tax is paid by the partners or

 

 

HB4932- 46 -LRB102 23180 HLH 32342 b

1    shareholders, such amount shall not be collected from the
2    partnership or corporation.

4    under Section 601(b)(3) of this Act, tax paid by a
5    partnership or Subchapter S corporation to another state
6    which, as determined by the Department, is substantially
7    similar to the tax imposed under this subsection, shall be
8    considered tax paid by the partner or shareholder to the
9    extent that the partner's or shareholder's share of the
10    income of the partnership or Subchapter S corporation
11    allocated and apportioned to such other state bears to the
12    total income of the partnership or Subchapter S
13    corporation allocated or apportioned to such other state.
14        (8) Suspension of withholding. The provisions of
15    Section 709.5 of this Act shall not apply to a partnership
16    or Subchapter S corporation for the taxable year for which
17    an election under paragraph (1) is in effect.
18        (9) Requirement to pay estimated tax. For each taxable
19    year for which an election under paragraph (1) is in
20    effect, a partnership or Subchapter S corporation is
21    required to pay estimated tax for such taxable year under
22    Sections 803 and 804 of this Act if the amount payable as
23    estimated tax can reasonably be expected to exceed $500.
