HB4636 - 4 - LRB095 17012 BDD 43060 b

1 corporation and except as adjusted by subsection (d-1), shall
2 be an additional amount equal to 2.85% of such taxpayer's net

9     (d-1) Rate reduction for certain foreign insurers. In the
10 case of a foreign insurer, as defined by Section 35A-5 of the
11 Illinois Insurance Code, whose state or country of domicile
12 imposes on insurers domiciled in Illinois a retaliatory tax
13 (excluding any insurer whose premiums from reinsurance assumed
14 are 50% or more of its total insurance premiums as determined
15 under paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 304, except
16 that for purposes of this determination premiums from
17 reinsurance do not include premiums from inter-affiliate
18 reinsurance arrangements), beginning with taxable years ending
19 on or after December 31, 1999, the sum of the rates of tax
20 imposed by subsections (b) and (d) shall be reduced (but not
21 increased) to the rate at which the total amount of tax imposed
22 under this Act, net of all credits allowed under this Act,
23 shall equal (i) the total amount of tax that would be imposed
24 on the foreign insurer's net income allocable to Illinois for
25 the taxable year by such foreign insurer's state or country of
26 domicile if that net income were subject to all income taxes

 

 

HB4636 - 5 - LRB095 17012 BDD 43060 b

1 and taxes measured by net income imposed by such foreign
2 insurer's state or country of domicile, net of all credits
3 allowed or (ii) a rate of zero if no such tax is imposed on such
4 income by the foreign insurer's state of domicile. For the
5 purposes of this subsection (d-1), an inter-affiliate includes
6 a mutual insurer under common management.
7         (1) For the purposes of subsection (d-1), in no event
8     shall the sum of the rates of tax imposed by subsections
9     (b) and (d) be reduced below the rate at which the sum of:
10             (A) the total amount of tax imposed on such foreign
11         insurer under this Act for a taxable year, net of all
12         credits allowed under this Act, plus
13             (B) the privilege tax imposed by Section 409 of the
14         Illinois Insurance Code, the fire insurance company
15         tax imposed by Section 12 of the Fire Investigation
16         Act, and the fire department taxes imposed under
17         Section 11-10-1 of the Illinois Municipal Code,
18     equals 1.25% for taxable years ending prior to December 31,
19     2003, or 1.75% for taxable years ending on or after
20     December 31, 2003, of the net taxable premiums written for
21     the taxable year, as described by subsection (1) of Section
22     409 of the Illinois Insurance Code. This paragraph will in
23     no event increase the rates imposed under subsections (b)
24     and (d).
25         (2) Any reduction in the rates of tax imposed by this
26     subsection shall be applied first against the rates imposed

 

 

HB4636 - 6 - LRB095 17012 BDD 43060 b

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

 

 

HB4636 - 7 - LRB095 17012 BDD 43060 b

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

 

 

HB4636 - 8 - LRB095 17012 BDD 43060 b

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

 

 

HB4636 - 9 - LRB095 17012 BDD 43060 b

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

 

 

HB4636 - 10 - LRB095 17012 BDD 43060 b

1     property or services rendered in conjunction with the sale
2     of tangible consumer goods or commodities.
3         (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
4     used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
5     income tax purposes.
6         (5) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
7     depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
8     in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of such
9     increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
10     date of such increase in basis.
11         (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
12     meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
13         (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
14     be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
15     48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
16     any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
17     months after being placed in service, the Personal Property
18     Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year shall be
19     increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
20     recomputing the investment credit which would have been
21     allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
22     originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
23     computation and, (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
24     from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
25     purposes of this paragraph (7), a reduction of the basis of
26     qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the

 

 

HB4636 - 11 - LRB095 17012 BDD 43060 b

1     purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
2     property to the extent of such reduction.
3         (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
4     the basis of qualified property shall not include costs
5     incurred after December 31, 2008, except for costs incurred
6     pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or before
7     December 31, 2008.
8         (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000,
9     a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners the
10     credits to which the partnership is entitled under this
11     subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may use the
12     credit allocated to him or her under this paragraph only
13     against the tax imposed in subsections (c) and (d) of this
14     Section. If the partnership makes that election, those
15     credits shall be allocated among the partners in the
16     partnership in accordance with the rules set forth in
17     Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the rules
18     promulgated under that Section, and the allocated amount of
19     the credits shall be allowed to the partners for that
20     taxable year. The partnership shall make this election on
21     its Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax return for
22     that taxable year. The election to pass through the credits
23     shall be irrevocable.
24         For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2000,
25     a partner that qualifies its partnership for a subtraction
26     under subparagraph (I) of paragraph (2) of subsection (d)

 

 

HB4636 - 12 - LRB095 17012 BDD 43060 b

1     of Section 203 or a shareholder that qualifies a Subchapter
2     S corporation for a subtraction under subparagraph (S) of
3     paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 203 shall be
4     allowed a credit under this subsection (e) equal to its
5     share of the credit earned under this subsection (e) during
6     the taxable year by the partnership or Subchapter S
7     corporation, determined in accordance with the
8     determination of income and distributive share of income
9     under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal
10     Revenue Code. This paragraph is exempt from the provisions
11     of Section 250.
12     (f) Investment credit; Enterprise Zone; River Edge
13 Redevelopment Zone.
14         (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the
15     tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for
16     investment in qualified property which is placed in service
17     in an Enterprise Zone created pursuant to the Illinois
18     Enterprise Zone Act or, for property placed in service on
19     or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge Redevelopment Zone
20     established pursuant to the River Edge Redevelopment Zone
21     Act. For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
22     corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
23     if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
24     purposes of federal and State income taxation, there shall
25     be allowed a credit under this subsection (f) to be
26     determined in accordance with the determination of income

 

 

HB4636 - 13 - LRB095 17012 BDD 43060 b

1     and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
2     and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. The credit
3     shall be .5% of the basis for such property. The credit
4     shall be available only in the taxable year in which the
5     property is placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or
6     River Edge Redevelopment Zone and shall not be allowed to
7     the extent that it would reduce a taxpayer's liability for
8     the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section
9     to below zero. For tax years ending on or after December
10     31, 1985, the credit shall be allowed for the tax year in
11     which the property is placed in service, or, if the amount
12     of the credit exceeds the tax liability for that year,
13     whether it exceeds the original liability or the liability
14     as later amended, such excess may be carried forward and
15     applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable years
16     following the excess credit year. The credit shall be
17     applied to the earliest year for which there is a
18     liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
19     that is available to offset a liability, the credit
20     accruing first in time shall be applied first.
21         (2) The term qualified property means property which:
22             (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
23         buildings and structural components of buildings;
24             (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
25         Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
26         as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not

 

 

HB4636 - 14 - LRB095 17012 BDD 43060 b

1         eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
2         (f);
3             (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
4         179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
5             (D) is used in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
6         Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer; and
7             (E) has not been previously used in Illinois in
8         such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
9         the credit provided by this subsection (f) or
10         subsection (e).
11         (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
12     used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
13     income tax purposes.
14         (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
15     depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
16     in service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
17     Redevelopment Zone 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         (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
21     meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
22         (6) 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 the Enterprise Zone
26     or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months after

 

 

HB4636 - 15 - LRB095 17012 BDD 43060 b

1     being placed in service, the tax imposed under subsections
2     (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable year shall be
3     increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
4     recomputing the investment credit which would have been
5     allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
6     originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
7     computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
8     from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
9     purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the basis of
10     qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
11     purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
12     property to the extent of such reduction.
13         (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
14     to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
15     service during the taxable year in a River Edge
16     Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
17     service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
18     employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over
19     the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
20     employment records filed with the Illinois Department of
21     Employment Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois
22     shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
23     employment for the first year in which they file employment
24     records with the Illinois Department of Employment
25     Security. If, in any year, the increase in base employment
26     within Illinois over the preceding year is less than 1%,

 

 

HB4636 - 16 - LRB095 17012 BDD 43060 b

1     the additional credit shall be limited to that percentage
2     times a fraction, the numerator of which is 0.5% and the
3     denominator of which is 1%, but shall not exceed 0.5%.
4     (g) Jobs Tax Credit; Enterprise Zone, River Edge
5 Redevelopment Zone, and Foreign Trade Zone or Sub-Zone.
6         (1) A taxpayer conducting a trade or business in an
7     enterprise zone or a High Impact Business designated by the
8     Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity or for
9     taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2006, in a
10     River Edge Redevelopment Zone conducting a trade or
11     business in a federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or

HB4636 - 18 - LRB095 17012 BDD 43060 b

1         (4) For tax years ending on or after December 31, 1985
2     and prior to December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed
3     for the tax year in which the eligible employees are hired.
4     For tax years ending on or after December 31, 1988, the
5     credit shall be allowed for the tax year immediately
6     following the tax year in which the eligible employees are
7     hired. If the amount of the credit exceeds the tax
8     liability for that year, whether it exceeds the original
9     liability or the liability as later amended, such excess
10     may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of
11     the 5 taxable years following the excess credit year. 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         (5) The Department of Revenue shall promulgate such
17     rules and regulations as may be deemed necessary to carry
18     out the purposes of this subsection (g).
19         (6) The credit shall be available for eligible

21     (h) Investment credit; High Impact Business.
22         (1) Subject to subsections (b) and (b-5) of Section 5.5

25     and (b) of this Section for investment in qualified
26     property which is placed in service by a Department of

 

 

HB4636 - 19 - LRB095 17012 BDD 43060 b

1     Commerce and Economic Opportunity designated High Impact
2     Business. The credit shall be .5% of the basis for such
3     property. The credit shall not be available (i) until the
4     minimum investments in qualified property set forth in
5     subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois
6     Enterprise Zone Act have been satisfied or (ii) until the
7     time authorized in subsection (b-5) of the Illinois
8     Enterprise Zone Act for entities designated as High Impact
9     Businesses under subdivisions (a)(3)(B), (a)(3)(C), and
10     (a)(3)(D) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone
11     Act, and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
12     reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by
13     subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. The
14     credit applicable to such investments shall be taken in the
15     taxable year in which such investments have been completed.
16     The credit for additional investments beyond the minimum
17     investment by a designated high impact business authorized
18     under subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois
19     Enterprise Zone Act shall be available only in the taxable
20     year in which the property is placed in service and shall
21     not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
22     taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by subsections (a)
23     and (b) of this Section to below zero. For tax years ending
24     on or after December 31, 1987, the credit shall be allowed
25     for the tax year in which the property is placed in
26     service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax

 

 

HB4636 - 20 - LRB095 17012 BDD 43060 b

1     liability for that year, whether it exceeds the original
2     liability or the liability as later amended, such excess
3     may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of
4     the 5 taxable years following the excess credit year. The
5     credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
6     there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
7     tax year that is available to offset a liability, the
8     credit accruing first in time shall be applied first.
9         Changes made in this subdivision (h)(1) by Public Act
10     88-670 restore changes made by Public Act 85-1182 and
11     reflect existing law.
12         (2) The term qualified property means property which:
13             (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
14         buildings and structural components of buildings;
15             (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
16         Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
17         as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
18         eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
19         (h);
20             (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
21         179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code; and
22             (D) is not eligible for the Enterprise Zone
23         Investment Credit provided by subsection (f) of this
24         Section.
25         (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
26     used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal

 

 

HB4636 - 21 - LRB095 17012 BDD 43060 b

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

 

 

HB4636 - 22 - LRB095 17012 BDD 43060 b

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

 

 

HB4636 - 23 - LRB095 17012 BDD 43060 b

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

 

 

HB4636 - 24 - LRB095 17012 BDD 43060 b

1 training in semi-technical or technical fields or semi-skilled
2 or skilled fields, which were deducted from gross income in the
3 computation of taxable income. The credit against the tax
4 imposed by subsections (a) and (b) shall be 1.6% of such
5 training expenses. For partners, shareholders of subchapter S
6 corporations, and owners of limited liability companies, if the
7 liability company is treated as a partnership for purposes of
8 federal and State income taxation, there shall be allowed a
9 credit under this subsection (j) to be determined in accordance
10 with the determination of income and distributive share of
11 income under Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the
12 Internal Revenue Code.
13     Any credit allowed under this subsection which is unused in
14 the year the credit is earned may be carried forward to each of
15 the 5 taxable years following the year for which the credit is
16 first computed until it is used. This credit shall be applied
17 first to the earliest year for which there is a liability. If
18 there is a credit under this subsection from more than one tax
19 year that is available to offset a liability the earliest
20 credit arising under this subsection shall be applied first. No
21 carryforward credit may be claimed in any tax year ending on or
22 after December 31, 2003.
23     (k) Research and development credit.
24     For tax years ending after July 1, 1990 and prior to
25 December 31, 2003, and beginning again for tax years ending on
26 or after December 31, 2004, a taxpayer shall be allowed a

 

 

HB4636 - 25 - LRB095 17012 BDD 43060 b

1 credit against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of
2 this Section for increasing research activities in this State.
3 The credit allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a)
4 and (b) shall be equal to 6 1/2% of the qualifying expenditures
5 for increasing research activities in this State. For partners,
6 shareholders of subchapter S corporations, and owners of
7 limited liability companies, if the liability company is
8 treated as a partnership for purposes of federal and State
9 income taxation, there shall be allowed a credit under this
10 subsection to be determined in accordance with the
11 determination of income and distributive share of income under
12 Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the Internal Revenue
13 Code.
14     For purposes of this subsection, "qualifying expenditures"
15 means the qualifying expenditures as defined for the federal
16 credit for increasing research activities which would be
17 allowable under Section 41 of the Internal Revenue Code and
18 which are conducted in this State, "qualifying expenditures for
19 increasing research activities in this State" means the excess
20 of qualifying expenditures for the taxable year in which
21 incurred over qualifying expenditures for the base period,
22 "qualifying expenditures for the base period" means the average
23 of the qualifying expenditures for each year in the base
24 period, and "base period" means the 3 taxable years immediately
25 preceding the taxable year for which the determination is being
26 made.

 

 

HB4636 - 26 - LRB095 17012 BDD 43060 b

1     Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the taxable
2 year may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
3 unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over
4 as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
5 taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever occurs
6 first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year ending
7 prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any year
8 ending on or after December 31, 2003.
9     If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
10 2 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
11 year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
12 given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
13 remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
14 applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
15 liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
16 credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
17 following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
18 that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
19 than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
20 credit is given was incurred.
21     No inference shall be drawn from this amendatory Act of the
22 91st General Assembly in construing this Section for taxable
23 years beginning before January 1, 1999.
24     (l) Environmental Remediation Tax Credit.
25         (i) For tax years ending after December 31, 1997 and on
26     or before December 31, 2001, a taxpayer shall be allowed a

 

 

HB4636 - 27 - LRB095 17012 BDD 43060 b

1     credit against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b)
2     of this Section for certain amounts paid for unreimbursed
3     eligible remediation costs, as specified in this
4     subsection. For purposes of this Section, "unreimbursed
5     eligible remediation costs" means costs approved by the
6     Illinois Environmental Protection Agency ("Agency") under
7     Section 58.14 of the Environmental Protection Act that were
8     paid in performing environmental remediation at a site for
9     which a No Further Remediation Letter was issued by the
10     Agency and recorded under Section 58.10 of the
11     Environmental Protection Act. The credit must be claimed
12     for the taxable year in which Agency approval of the
13     eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit is not
14     available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any related
15     party caused or contributed to, in any material respect, a
16     release of regulated substances on, in, or under the site
17     that was identified and addressed by the remedial action
18     pursuant to the Site Remediation Program of the
19     Environmental Protection Act. After the Pollution Control
20     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

 

 

HB4636 - 28 - LRB095 17012 BDD 43060 b

1     succeeded to under Section 381 of the Internal Revenue Code
2     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 being
5     a related taxpayer, as well as any of its partners. The
6     credit allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a)
7     and (b) shall be equal to 25% of the unreimbursed eligible
8     remediation costs in excess of $100,000 per site, except
9     that the $100,000 threshold shall not apply to any site
10     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 with
14     a maximum total of $150,000 per site. For partners and
15     shareholders of subchapter S corporations, there shall be
16     allowed a credit under this subsection to be determined in
17     accordance with the determination of income and
18     distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704 and
19     subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.
20         (ii) A credit allowed under this subsection that is
21     unused in the year the credit is earned may be carried
22     forward to each of the 5 taxable years following the year
23     for which the credit is first earned until it is used. The
24     term "unused credit" does not include any amounts of
25     unreimbursed eligible remediation costs in excess of the
26     maximum credit per site authorized under paragraph (i).

 

 

HB4636 - 29 - LRB095 17012 BDD 43060 b

1     This credit shall be applied first to the earliest year for
2     which there is a liability. If there is a credit under this
3     subsection from more than one tax year that is available to
4     offset a liability, the earliest credit arising under this
5     subsection shall be applied first. A credit allowed under
6     this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a sale of
7     all or part of the remediation site for which the credit
8     was granted. The purchaser of a remediation site and the
9     tax credit shall succeed to the unused credit and remaining
10     carry-forward period of the seller. To perfect the
11     transfer, the assignor shall record the transfer in the
12     chain of title for the site and provide written notice to
13     the Director of the Illinois Department of Revenue of the
14     assignor's intent to sell the remediation site and the
15     amount of the tax credit to be transferred as a portion of
16     the sale. In no event may a credit be transferred to any
17     taxpayer if the taxpayer or a related party would not be
18     eligible under the provisions of subsection (i).
19         (iii) For purposes of this Section, the term "site"
20     shall have the same meaning as under Section 58.2 of the
21     Environmental Protection Act.

26 Section for qualified education expenses incurred on behalf of

 

 

HB4636 - 30 - LRB095 17012 BDD 43060 b

1 the qualifying pupils. The credit shall be equal to 25% of
2 qualified education expenses, but in no event may the total
3 credit under this subsection claimed by a family that is the
4 custodian of qualifying pupils exceed $500. In no event shall a
5 credit under this subsection reduce the taxpayer's liability
6 under this Act to less than zero. This subsection is exempt
7 from the provisions of Section 250 of this Act.
8     For purposes of this subsection:
9     "Qualifying pupils" means individuals who (i) are
10 residents of the State of Illinois, (ii) are under the age of
11 21 at the close of the school year for which a credit is

26 the credit under this Section.

7     a taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the tax
8     imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for
9     certain amounts paid for unreimbursed eligible remediation
10     costs, as specified in this subsection. For purposes of
11     this Section, "unreimbursed eligible remediation costs"
12     means costs approved by the Illinois Environmental
13     Protection Agency ("Agency") under Section 58.14a of the
14     Environmental Protection Act that were paid in performing
15     environmental remediation at a site within a River Edge
16     Redevelopment Zone for which a No Further Remediation
17     Letter was issued by the Agency and recorded under Section
18     58.10 of the Environmental Protection Act. The credit must
19     be claimed for the taxable year in which Agency approval of
20     the eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit is
21     not available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any
22     related party caused or contributed to, in any material
23     respect, a release of regulated substances on, in, or under

25     action pursuant to the Site Remediation Program of the
26     Environmental Protection Act. Determinations as to credit

 

 

HB4636 - 32 - LRB095 17012 BDD 43060 b

1     availability for purposes of this Section shall be made
2     consistent with rules adopted by the Pollution Control
3     Board pursuant to the Illinois Administrative Procedure
4     Act for the administration and enforcement of Section 58.9
5     of the Environmental Protection Act. For purposes of this
6     Section, "taxpayer" includes a person whose tax attributes
7     the taxpayer has succeeded to under Section 381 of the
8     Internal Revenue Code and "related party" includes the
9     persons disallowed a deduction for losses by paragraphs
10     (b), (c), and (f)(1) of Section 267 of the Internal Revenue

12     of its partners. The credit allowed against the tax imposed
13     by subsections (a) and (b) shall be equal to 25% of the
14     unreimbursed eligible remediation costs in excess of
15     $100,000 per site.
16         (ii) A credit allowed under this subsection that is
17     unused in the year the credit is earned may be carried
18     forward to each of the 5 taxable years following the year
19     for which the credit is first earned until it is used. This
20     credit shall be applied first to the earliest year for
21     which there is a liability. If there is a credit under this
22     subsection from more than one tax year that is available to

1     was granted. The purchaser of a remediation site and the
2     tax credit shall succeed to the unused credit and remaining
3     carry-forward period of the seller. To perfect the

7     assignor's intent to sell the remediation site and the
8     amount of the tax credit to be transferred as a portion of
9     the sale. In no event may a credit be transferred to any
10     taxpayer if the taxpayer or a related party would not be
11     eligible under the provisions of subsection (i).
12         (iii) For purposes of this Section, the term "site"

19     Sec. 202.5. Net income attributable to the period prior to
20 January 1, 2009 and net income attributable to the period after
21 December 31, 2008.
22     (a) In general. With respect to the taxable year of a
23 taxpayer beginning prior to January 1, 2009 and ending after
24 December 31, 2008, net income for the period after December 31,
25 2008 is that amount that bears the same ratio to the taxpayer's

 

 

HB4636 - 34 - LRB095 17012 BDD 43060 b

1 net income for the entire taxable year as the number of days in
2 that year after December 31, 2008 bears to the total number of
3 days in that year, and the net income for the period prior to
4 January 1, 2009 is that amount that bears the same ratio to the
5 taxpayer's net income for the entire taxable year as the number
6 of days in that year prior to January 1, 2009 bears to the
7 total number of days in that year.
8     (b) Election to attribute income and deduction items
9 specifically to the respective portions of a taxable year prior
10 to January 1, 2009 and after December 31, 2008. In the case of
11 a taxpayer with a taxable year beginning prior to January 1,
12 2009 and ending after December 31, 2008, the taxpayer may
13 elect, instead of the procedure established in subsection (a)
14 of this Section, to determine net income on a specific
15 accounting basis for the 2 portions of his or her taxable year:
16         (i) from the beginning of the taxable year through
17     December 31, 2008; and
18         (ii) from January 1, 2009 through the end of the
19     taxable year.
20     If the taxpayer elects specific accounting under this
21 subsection, there shall be taken into account in computing base
22 income for each of the 2 portions of the taxable year only
23 those items earned, received, paid, incurred or accrued in each
24 such period. The standard exemption provided by Section 204
25 must be divided between the respective periods in amounts that
26 bear the same ratio to the total exemption allowable under

 

 

HB4636 - 35 - LRB095 17012 BDD 43060 b

1 Section 204 (determined without regard to this Section) as the
2 total number of days in each such period bears to the total
3 number of days in the taxable year. The election provided by
4 this subsection must be made in form and manner that the
5 Department requires by rule, but must be made no later than the
6 due date (including any extensions thereof) for the filing of
7 the return for the taxable year, and is irrevocable.
