22increased) to the rate at which the total amount of tax imposed
23under this Act, net of all credits allowed under this Act,

HB2599- 10 -LRB103 30837 HLH 57338 b

1domicile if that net income were subject to all income taxes

HB2599- 11 -LRB103 30837 HLH 57338 b

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

 

 

HB2599- 12 -LRB103 30837 HLH 57338 b

1    Illinois Department of Employment Security. The provisions
2    added to this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored
3    by Public Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of
4    existing law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year,
5    the increase in base employment within Illinois over the
6    preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit
7    shall 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

 

 

HB2599- 13 -LRB103 30837 HLH 57338 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)
4    and (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
12    or the liability as later amended, such excess may be
13    carried forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5
14    taxable years following the excess credit years. The
15    credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
16    there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
17    tax year that is available to offset a liability, earlier
18    credit 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
24        or improvements to real property that are not a
25        structural component of a building such as
26        landscaping, sewer lines, local access roads, fencing,

 

 

HB2599- 14 -LRB103 30837 HLH 57338 b

1        parking lots, and 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
25    of this subsection (e) the term "mining" shall have the
26    same meaning as the term "mining" in Section 613(c) of the

 

 

HB2599- 15 -LRB103 30837 HLH 57338 b

1    Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this subsection
2    (e), the term "retailing" means the sale of tangible
3    personal property for use or consumption and not for
4    resale, or services rendered in conjunction with the sale
5    of tangible personal property for use or consumption and
6    not for resale. For purposes of this subsection (e),
7    "tangible personal property" has the same meaning as when
8    that term is used in the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
9    and, for taxable years ending after December 31, 2008,
10    does not include the generation, transmission, or
11    distribution of 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
16    tax depreciation purposes is increased after it has been
17    placed in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount
18    of such increase shall be deemed property placed in
19    service on the 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

 

 

HB2599- 16 -LRB103 30837 HLH 57338 b

1    Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year
2    shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined by
3    (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
4    been allowed for the year in which credit for such
5    property was originally allowed by eliminating such
6    property from such computation and, (ii) subtracting such
7    recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
8    allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (7), a
9    reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
10    from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be
11    deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
12    of such reduction.

17    Zone and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
18    reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by
19    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. For
20    tax years ending on or after December 31, 1985, the credit
21    shall be allowed for the tax year in which the property is

4    liability, the credit accruing first in time shall be
5    applied first.
6        (2) The term qualified property means property which:
7            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
8        buildings and structural components of buildings;
9            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
10        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
11        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
12        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
13        (f);
14            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
15        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
16            (D) is used in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
17        Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer; and
18            (E) has not been previously used in Illinois in
19        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
20        the credit provided by this subsection (f) or
21        subsection (e).
22        (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
23    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
24    income tax purposes.
25        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income
26    tax depreciation purposes is increased after it has been

 

 

HB2599- 20 -LRB103 30837 HLH 57338 b

1    placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
2    Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer, the amount of such
3    increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
4    date of such increase in basis.
5        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
6    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
7        (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
8    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
9    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
10    any qualified property is moved outside the Enterprise
11    Zone or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months
12    after being placed in service, the tax imposed under
13    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable
14    year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
15    by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
16    been allowed for the year in which credit for such
17    property was originally allowed by eliminating such
18    property from such computation, and (ii) subtracting such
19    recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
20    allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (6), a
21    reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
22    from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be
23    deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
24    of such reduction.
25        (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
26    to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in

2    Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
3    service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
4    employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more
5    over the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
6    employment records filed with the Illinois Department of
7    Employment Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois
8    shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
9    employment for the first year in which they file
10    employment records with the Illinois Department of
11    Employment Security. If, in any year, the increase in base
12    employment within Illinois over the preceding year is less
13    than 1%, the additional credit shall be limited to that
14    percentage times a fraction, the numerator of which is
15    0.5% and the denominator of which is 1%, but shall not
16    exceed 0.5%.
17        (8) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1,
18    2021, there shall be allowed an Enterprise Zone
19    construction jobs credit against the taxes imposed under
20    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section as provided in
21    Section 13 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act.
22        The credit or credits may not reduce the taxpayer's
23    liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or
24    credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may
25    be carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's
26    liability in succeeding calendar years in the same manner

1    provided under paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act.
2    The credit or credits shall be applied to the earliest

4    credits from more than one taxable year that are available
5    to offset a liability, the earlier credit shall be applied
6    first.
7        For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
8    corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,

12    determined in accordance with the determination of income
13    and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and
14    704 and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.
15        The total aggregate amount of credits awarded under
16    the Blue Collar Jobs Act (Article 20 of Public Act 101-9)

21    service and shall not be allowed to the extent that it
22    would reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by

1    the tax liability for that year, whether it exceeds the
2    original liability or the liability as later amended, such
3    excess may be carried forward and applied to the tax
4    liability of the 5 taxable years following the excess
5    credit year. The credit shall be applied to the earliest
6    year for which there is a liability. If there is credit
7    from more than one tax year that is available to offset a

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

 

 

HB2599- 31 -LRB103 30837 HLH 57338 b

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

2    partnership or Subchapter S corporation to another state
3    which, as determined by the Department, is substantially
4    similar to the tax imposed under this subsection, shall be
5    considered tax paid by the partner or shareholder to the
6    extent that the partner's or shareholder's share of the
7    income of the partnership or Subchapter S corporation
8    allocated and apportioned to such other state bears to the
9    total income of the partnership or Subchapter S
10    corporation allocated or apportioned to such other state.
11        (8) Suspension of withholding. The provisions of

20    estimated tax can reasonably be expected to exceed $500.
