SB0492- 9 -LRB102 04171 HLH 14188 b

1increased) to the rate at which the total amount of tax imposed
2under this Act, net of all credits allowed under this Act,
3shall equal (i) the total amount of tax that would be imposed
4on the foreign insurer's net income allocable to Illinois for

6domicile if that net income were subject to all income taxes
7and taxes measured by net income imposed by such foreign

SB0492- 10 -LRB102 04171 HLH 14188 b

1    December 31, 2003, of the net taxable premiums written for
2    the taxable year, as described by subsection (1) of
3    Section 409 of the Illinois Insurance Code. This paragraph
4    will in no event increase the rates imposed under
5    subsections (b) and (d).
6        (2) Any reduction in the rates of tax imposed by this
7    subsection shall be applied first against the rates
8    imposed by subsection (b) and only after the tax imposed
9    by subsection (a) net of all credits allowed under this
10    Section other than the credit allowed under subsection (i)
11    has been reduced to zero, against the rates imposed by
12    subsection (d).
13    This subsection (d-1) is exempt from the provisions of
14Section 250.
15    (e) Investment credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a
16credit against the Personal Property Tax Replacement Income
17Tax for investment in qualified property.
18        (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to .5%
19    of the basis of qualified property placed in service
20    during the taxable year, provided such property is placed
21    in service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed
22    an additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of
23    qualified property placed in service during the taxable
24    year, provided such property is placed in service on or
25    after July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment
26    within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the

 

 

SB0492- 11 -LRB102 04171 HLH 14188 b

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

 

 

SB0492- 12 -LRB102 04171 HLH 14188 b

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

 

 

SB0492- 13 -LRB102 04171 HLH 14188 b

1        buildings and structural components of buildings and
2        signs that are real property, but not including land
3        or improvements to real property that are not a
4        structural component of a building such as
5        landscaping, sewer lines, local access roads, fencing,
6        parking lots, and other appurtenances;
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        (e);
12            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
13        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
14            (D) is used in Illinois by a taxpayer who is
15        primarily engaged in manufacturing, or in mining coal
16        or fluorite, or in retailing, or was placed in service
17        on or after July 1, 2006 in a River Edge Redevelopment
18        Zone established pursuant to the River Edge
19        Redevelopment Zone Act; and
20            (E) has not previously been used in Illinois in
21        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
22        the credit provided by this subsection (e) or
23        subsection (f).
24        (3) For purposes of this subsection (e),
25    "manufacturing" means the material staging and production
26    of tangible personal property by procedures commonly

 

 

SB0492- 14 -LRB102 04171 HLH 14188 b

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

 

 

SB0492- 15 -LRB102 04171 HLH 14188 b

1        (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
2    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
3    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
4    any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
5    months after being placed in service, the Personal
6    Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year
7    shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined by
8    (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
9    been allowed for the year in which credit for such
10    property was originally allowed by eliminating such
11    property from such computation and, (ii) subtracting such
12    recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
13    allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (7), a
14    reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
15    from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be
16    deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
17    of such reduction.
18        (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
19    the basis of qualified property shall not include costs
20    incurred (i) after December 31, 2018 and prior to the
21    effective date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General
22    Assembly or (ii) after December 31, 2025, except for costs
23    incurred pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or
24    before December 31, 2018 or costs incurred pursuant to a
25    binding contract entered into on or after the effective
26    date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly

1    but on or before December 31, 2025.
2        (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000,
3    a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners
4    the credits to which the partnership is entitled under
5    this subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may
6    use the credit allocated to him or her under this
7    paragraph only against the tax imposed in subsections (c)
8    and (d) of this Section. If the partnership makes that
9    election, those credits shall be allocated among the
10    partners in the partnership in accordance with the rules
11    set forth in Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code,
12    and the rules promulgated under that Section, and the
13    allocated amount of the credits shall be allowed to the
14    partners for that taxable year. The partnership shall make
15    this election on its Personal Property Tax Replacement

9        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income
10    tax depreciation purposes is increased after it has been
11    placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge

21    Zone or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months
22    after being placed in service, the tax imposed under
23    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable
24    year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
25    by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have

1    property was originally allowed by eliminating such
2    property from such computation, and (ii) subtracting such
3    recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
4    allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (6), a
5    reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
6    from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be
7    deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
8    of such reduction.
9        (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
10    to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
11    service during the taxable year in a River Edge

18    shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
19    employment for the first year in which they file
20    employment records with the Illinois Department of
21    Employment Security. If, in any year, the increase in base
22    employment within Illinois over the preceding year is less
23    than 1%, the additional credit shall be limited to that
24    percentage times a fraction, the numerator of which is
25    0.5% and the denominator of which is 1%, but shall not
26    exceed 0.5%.

6        The credit or credits may not reduce the taxpayer's
7    liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or
8    credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may
9    be carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's
10    liability in succeeding calendar years in the same manner
11    provided under paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act.
12    The credit or credits shall be applied to the earliest
13    year for which there is a tax liability. If there are

4    Any credit allowed under this subsection which is unused
5in the year the credit is earned may be carried forward to each
6of the 5 taxable years following the year for which the credit
7is first computed until it is used. 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
10more than one tax year that is available to offset a liability,
11the earliest credit arising under this subsection shall be
12applied first. No carryforward credit may be claimed in any

6means the qualifying expenditures as defined for the federal
7credit for increasing research activities which would be
8allowable under Section 41 of the Internal Revenue Code and
9which are conducted in this State, "qualifying expenditures
10for increasing research activities in this State" means the
11excess of qualifying expenditures for the taxable year in
12which incurred over qualifying expenditures for the base
13period, "qualifying expenditures for the base period" means
14the average of the qualifying expenditures for each year in
15the base period, and "base period" means the 3 taxable years
16immediately preceding the taxable year for which the
17determination is being made.
18    Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the taxable
19year may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
20unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over
21as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
22taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever
23occurs first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year
24ending prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any

2year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
3given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
4remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
5applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
6liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
7credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
8following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
9that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
10than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
11credit is given was incurred.

13amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly in construing this
14Section for taxable years beginning before January 1, 1999.
15    It is the intent of the General Assembly that the research

8    Protection Act that were paid in performing environmental
9    remediation at a site for which a No Further Remediation
10    Letter was issued by the Agency and recorded under Section
11    58.10 of the Environmental Protection Act. The credit must
12    be claimed for the taxable year in which Agency approval
13    of the eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit
14    is not available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any
15    related party caused or contributed to, in any material
16    respect, a release of regulated substances on, in, or
17    under the site that was identified and addressed by the
18    remedial action pursuant to the Site Remediation Program
19    of the Environmental Protection Act. After the Pollution
20    Control Board rules are adopted pursuant to the Illinois
21    Administrative Procedure Act for the administration and
22    enforcement of Section 58.9 of the Environmental
23    Protection Act, determinations as to credit availability
24    for purposes of this Section shall be made consistent with
25    those rules. For purposes of this Section, "taxpayer"
26    includes a person whose tax attributes the taxpayer has

1    succeeded to under Section 381 of the Internal Revenue
2    Code and "related party" includes the persons disallowed a
3    deduction for losses by paragraphs (b), (c), and (f)(1) of
4    Section 267 of the Internal Revenue Code by virtue of
5    being a related taxpayer, as well as any of its partners.
6    The credit allowed against the tax imposed by subsections
7    (a) and (b) shall be equal to 25% of the unreimbursed
8    eligible remediation costs in excess of $100,000 per site,
9    except that the $100,000 threshold shall not apply to any
10    site contained in an enterprise zone as determined by the
11    Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
12    Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity). The
13    total credit allowed shall not exceed $40,000 per year
14    with a maximum total of $150,000 per site. For partners
15    and shareholders of subchapter S corporations, there shall

13        company tax imposed by Section 12 of the Fire
14        Investigation Act, and the fire department taxes
15        imposed under Section 11-10-1 of the Illinois
16        Municipal Code,
17    equals 1.25% for taxable years ending prior to December
18    31, 2003, or 1.75% for taxable years ending on or after
19    December 31, 2003, of the net taxable premiums written for
20    the taxable year, as described by subsection (1) of
21    Section 409 of the Illinois Insurance Code. This paragraph
22    will in no event increase the rates imposed under
23    subsections (b) and (d).
24        (2) Any reduction in the rates of tax imposed by this
25    subsection shall be applied first against the rates

1    by subsection (a) net of all credits allowed under this
2    Section other than the credit allowed under subsection (i)
3    has been reduced to zero, against the rates imposed by
4    subsection (d).
5    This subsection (d-1) is exempt from the provisions of
6Section 250.
7    (e) Investment credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a
8credit against the Personal Property Tax Replacement Income
9Tax for investment in qualified property.
10        (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to .5%
11    of the basis of qualified property placed in service
12    during the taxable year, provided such property is placed
13    in service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed
14    an additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of
15    qualified property placed in service during the taxable
16    year, provided such property is placed in service on or
17    after July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment
18    within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the
19    preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's employment
20    records filed with the Illinois Department of Employment
21    Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be
22    deemed to have met the 1% growth in base employment for the
23    first year in which they file employment records with the
24    Illinois Department of Employment Security. The provisions
25    added to this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored
26    by Public Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of

 

 

SB0492- 51 -LRB102 04171 HLH 14188 b

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

 

 

SB0492- 52 -LRB102 04171 HLH 14188 b

1    and (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and
2    Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic
3    Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all
4    such certifications immediately. For tax years ending
5    after December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for
6    the tax year in which the property is placed in service,
7    or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
8    for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability
9    or the liability as later amended, such excess may be
10    carried forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5
11    taxable years following the excess credit years. The
12    credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
13    there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
14    tax year that is available to offset a liability, earlier
15    credit shall be applied first.
16        (2) The term "qualified property" means property
17    which:
18            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
19        buildings and structural components of buildings and
20        signs that are real property, but not including land
21        or improvements to real property that are not a
22        structural component of a building such as
23        landscaping, sewer lines, local access roads, fencing,
24        parking lots, and other appurtenances;
25            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
26        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"

 

 

SB0492- 53 -LRB102 04171 HLH 14188 b

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

 

 

SB0492- 54 -LRB102 04171 HLH 14188 b

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

 

 

SB0492- 55 -LRB102 04171 HLH 14188 b

1    been allowed for the year in which credit for such
2    property was originally allowed by eliminating such
3    property from such computation and, (ii) subtracting such
4    recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
5    allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (7), a
6    reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
7    from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be
8    deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
9    of such reduction.
10        (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
11    the basis of qualified property shall not include costs
12    incurred (i) after December 31, 2018 and prior to the
13    effective date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General
14    Assembly or (ii) after December 31, 2025, except for costs
15    incurred pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or
16    before December 31, 2018 or costs incurred pursuant to a
17    binding contract entered into on or after the effective
18    date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly
19    but on or before December 31, 2025.
20        (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000,
21    a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners

23    this subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may
24    use the credit allocated to him or her under this
25    paragraph only against the tax imposed in subsections (c)
26    and (d) of this Section. If the partnership makes that

 

 

SB0492- 56 -LRB102 04171 HLH 14188 b

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

2    investment in qualified property which is placed in
3    service in an Enterprise Zone created pursuant to the
4    Illinois Enterprise Zone Act or, for property placed in
5    service on or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge
6    Redevelopment Zone established pursuant to the River Edge
7    Redevelopment Zone Act. For partners, shareholders of

14    under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the
15    Internal Revenue Code. The credit shall be .5% of the
16    basis for such property. The credit shall be available
17    only in the taxable year in which the property is placed in
18    service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge Redevelopment
19    Zone and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
20    reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by

22    tax years ending on or after December 31, 1985, the credit
23    shall be allowed for the tax year in which the property is
24    placed in service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds

1    excess may be carried forward and applied to the tax
2    liability of the 5 taxable years following the excess
3    credit year. The credit shall be applied to the earliest
4    year for which there is a liability. If there is credit
5    from more than one tax year that is available to offset a
6    liability, the credit accruing first in time shall be
7    applied first.
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

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

13    Zone or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months
14    after being placed in service, the tax imposed under
15    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable
16    year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
17    by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
18    been allowed for the year in which credit for such
19    property was originally allowed by eliminating such
20    property from such computation, and (ii) subtracting such
21    recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
22    allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (6), a
23    reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
24    from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be
25    deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
26    of such reduction.

1        (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal

5    service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
6    employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more
7    over the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
8    employment records filed with the Illinois Department of

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

1    be carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's
2    liability in succeeding calendar years in the same manner
3    provided under paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act.
4    The credit or credits shall be applied to the earliest
5    year for which there is a tax liability. If there are
6    credits from more than one taxable year that are available
7    to offset a liability, the earlier credit shall be applied
8    first.
9        For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S

10forward and applied to the tax liability imposed by
11subsections (a) and (b) of the 5 taxable years following the
12excess credit year, provided that no credit may be carried
13forward to any year ending on or after December 31, 2003. This
14credit shall be applied first to the earliest year for which
15there is a liability. If there is a credit under this
16subsection from more than one tax year that is available to
17offset a liability the earliest credit arising under this
18subsection shall be applied first.
19    If, during any taxable year ending on or after December
2031, 1986, 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

18there shall be allowed a credit under this subsection (j) to be
19determined in accordance with the determination of income and
20distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704 and

22    Any credit allowed under this subsection which is unused
23in the year the credit is earned may be carried forward to each

26applied first to the earliest year for which there is a

 

 

SB0492- 69 -LRB102 04171 HLH 14188 b

1liability. If there is a credit under this subsection from
2more than one tax year that is available to offset a liability,
3the earliest credit arising under this subsection shall be
4applied first. No carryforward credit may be claimed in any

10allowed a credit against the tax imposed by subsections (a)
11and (b) of this Section for increasing research activities in
12this State. The credit allowed against the tax imposed by
13subsections (a) and (b) shall be equal to 6 1/2% of the
14qualifying expenditures for increasing research activities in
15this State. For partners, shareholders of subchapter S
16corporations, and owners of limited liability companies, if
17the liability company is treated as a partnership for purposes
18of federal and State income taxation, there shall be allowed a
19credit under this subsection to be determined in accordance
20with the determination of income and distributive share of
21income under Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the
22Internal Revenue Code.
23    For purposes of this subsection, "qualifying expenditures"
24means the qualifying expenditures as defined for the federal

SB0492- 70 -LRB102 04171 HLH 14188 b

1which are conducted in this State, "qualifying expenditures
2for increasing research activities in this State" means the
3excess of qualifying expenditures for the taxable year in
4which incurred over qualifying expenditures for the base
5period, "qualifying expenditures for the base period" means
6the average of the qualifying expenditures for each year in
7the base period, and "base period" means the 3 taxable years
8immediately preceding the taxable year for which the
9determination is being made.
10    Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the taxable
11year may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
12unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over
13as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
14taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever
15occurs first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year
16ending prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any
17year ending on or after December 31, 2003.
18    If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
192 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
20year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
21given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
22remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
23applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
24liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
25credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
26following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except

 

 

SB0492- 71 -LRB102 04171 HLH 14188 b

1that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
2than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
3credit is given was incurred.

5amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly in construing this
6Section for taxable years beginning before January 1, 1999.
7    It is the intent of the General Assembly that the research

12on July 6, 2017 (the effective date of Public Act 100-22) this

14taken in reliance on the continuation of the credit under this
15subsection (k) by any taxpayer are hereby validated.

7    related party caused or contributed to, in any material
8    respect, a release of regulated substances on, in, or
9    under the site that was identified and addressed by the

6    with a maximum total of $150,000 per site. For partners
7    and shareholders of subchapter S corporations, there shall

16    term "unused credit" does not include any amounts of
17    unreimbursed eligible remediation costs in excess of the
18    maximum credit per site authorized under paragraph (i).
19    This credit shall be applied first to the earliest year
20    for which there is a liability. If there is a credit under
21    this subsection from more than one tax year that is
22    available to offset a liability, the earliest credit
23    arising under this subsection shall be applied first. A
24    credit allowed under this subsection may be sold to a
25    buyer as part of a sale of all or part of the remediation
26    site for which the credit was granted. The purchaser of a
