24reinsurance arrangements), beginning with taxable years ending

26imposed by subsections (b) and (d) shall be reduced (but not

 

 

HB0392- 9 -LRB102 03939 HLH 13955 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
5the taxable year by such foreign insurer's state or country of
6domicile if that net income were subject to all income taxes
7and taxes measured by net income imposed by such foreign
8insurer's state or country of domicile, net of all credits
9allowed or (ii) a rate of zero if no such tax is imposed on
10such income by the foreign insurer's state of domicile. For
11the purposes of this subsection (d-1), an inter-affiliate

13        (1) For the purposes of subsection (d-1), in no event
14    shall the sum of the rates of tax imposed by subsections
15    (b) and (d) be reduced below the rate at which the sum of:
16            (A) the total amount of tax imposed on such
17        foreign insurer under this Act for a taxable year, net
18        of all credits allowed under this Act, plus
19            (B) the privilege tax imposed by Section 409 of
20        the Illinois Insurance Code, the fire insurance

HB0392- 10 -LRB102 03939 HLH 13955 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

 

 

HB0392- 11 -LRB102 03939 HLH 13955 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

 

 

HB0392- 12 -LRB102 03939 HLH 13955 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

 

 

HB0392- 13 -LRB102 03939 HLH 13955 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

 

 

HB0392- 14 -LRB102 03939 HLH 13955 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.

 

 

HB0392- 15 -LRB102 03939 HLH 13955 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 after December 31, 2018, except for costs
21    incurred pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or
22    before December 31, 2018.
23        (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000,
24    a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners
25    the credits to which the partnership is entitled under
26    this subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may

 

 

HB0392- 16 -LRB102 03939 HLH 13955 b

1    use the credit allocated to him or her under this
2    paragraph only against the tax imposed in subsections (c)
3    and (d) of this Section. If the partnership makes that
4    election, those credits shall be allocated among the
5    partners in the partnership in accordance with the rules
6    set forth in Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code,
7    and the rules promulgated under that Section, and the
8    allocated amount of the credits shall be allowed to the
9    partners for that taxable year. The partnership shall make
10    this election on its Personal Property Tax Replacement
11    Income Tax return for that taxable year. The election to
12    pass through the credits shall be irrevocable.

7    Illinois Enterprise Zone Act or, for property placed in
8    service on or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge
9    Redevelopment Zone established pursuant to the River Edge
10    Redevelopment Zone Act. For partners, shareholders of

HB0392- 18 -LRB102 03939 HLH 13955 b

1    placed in service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds
2    the tax liability for that year, whether it exceeds the
3    original liability or the liability as later amended, such
4    excess may be carried forward and applied to the tax
5    liability of the 5 taxable years following the excess
6    credit year. The credit shall be applied to the earliest

9    liability, the credit accruing first in time shall be
10    applied first.
11        (2) The term qualified property means property which:
12            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
13        buildings and structural components of buildings;
14            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
15        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
16        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
17        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
18        (f);
19            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
20        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
21            (D) is used in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
22        Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer; and

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

 

 

HB0392- 20 -LRB102 03939 HLH 13955 b

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

 

 

HB0392- 21 -LRB102 03939 HLH 13955 b

1        The credit or credits may not reduce the taxpayer's
2    liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or
3    credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may
4    be carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's
5    liability in succeeding calendar years in the same manner
6    provided under paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act.
7    The credit or credits shall be applied to the earliest
8    year for which there is a tax liability. If there are
9    credits from more than one taxable year that are available
10    to offset a liability, the earlier credit shall be applied
11    first.
12        For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
13    corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
14    if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
15    the purposes of federal and State income taxation, there
16    shall be allowed a credit under this Section to be
17    determined in accordance with the determination of income
18    and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and
19    704 and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.
20        The total aggregate amount of credits awarded under
21    the Blue Collar Jobs Act (Article 20 of Public Act 101-9
22    this amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly) shall
23    not exceed $20,000,000 in any State fiscal year.
24        This paragraph (8) is exempt from the provisions of
25    Section 250.

17    Act, 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. The
20    credit applicable to such investments shall be taken in
21    the taxable year in which such investments have been

HB0392- 23 -LRB102 03939 HLH 13955 b

1    service and shall not be allowed to the extent that it
2    would reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by
3    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. For
4    tax years ending on or after December 31, 1987, the credit
5    shall be allowed for the tax year in which the property is
6    placed in service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds
7    the tax liability for that year, whether it exceeds the
8    original liability or the liability as later amended, such
9    excess may be carried forward and applied to the tax
10    liability of the 5 taxable years following the excess
11    credit year. The credit shall be applied to the earliest
12    year for which there is a liability. If there is credit
13    from more than one tax year that is available to offset a
14    liability, the credit accruing first in time shall be
15    applied first.
16        Changes made in this subdivision (h)(1) by Public Act

21        buildings and structural components of buildings;
22            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the

1            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
2        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code; and
3            (D) is not eligible for the Enterprise Zone
4        Investment Credit provided by subsection (f) of this
5        Section.
6        (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
7    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
8    income tax purposes.
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 a federally designated Foreign Trade
12    Zone or Sub-Zone located in Illinois by the taxpayer, the
13    amount of such increase shall be deemed property placed in
14    service on the date of such increase in basis.
15        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
16    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
17        (6) If during any taxable year ending on or before

21    qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
22    months after being placed in service, the tax imposed
23    under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such

HB0392- 25 -LRB102 03939 HLH 13955 b

1    such 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

HB0392- 26 -LRB102 03939 HLH 13955 b

1liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or
2credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may be
3carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's liability
4in succeeding calendar years in the manner provided under
5paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act. The credit or credits
6shall be applied to the earliest year for which there is a tax
7liability. If there are credits from more than one taxable
8year that are available to offset a liability, the earlier
9credit shall be applied first.
10    For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S corporations,
11and owners of limited liability companies, if the liability

3multiplying the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
4Section by a fraction, the numerator of which is base income
5allocable to Illinois and the denominator of which is Illinois
6base income, and further multiplying the product by the tax
7rate imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section.
8    Any credit earned on or after December 31, 1986 under this
9subsection which is unused in the year the credit is computed
10because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by subsections
11(a) and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the original

14subsections (a) and (b) of the 5 taxable years following the
15excess credit year, provided that no credit may be carried
16forward to any year ending on or after December 31, 2003. This

HB0392- 28 -LRB102 03939 HLH 13955 b

1recomputing the credit to take into account the reduced tax
2imposed by subsections (c) and (d). If any portion of the

4taxable year, an amended return shall be filed for such
5taxable year to reduce the amount of credit claimed.

HB0392- 29 -LRB102 03939 HLH 13955 b

1of the 5 taxable years following the year for which the credit
2is first computed until it is used. This credit shall be
3applied first to the earliest year for which there is a
4liability. If there is a credit under this subsection from
5more than one tax year that is available to offset a liability,
6the earliest credit arising under this subsection shall be
7applied first. No carryforward credit may be claimed in any
8tax year ending on or after December 31, 2003.
9    (k) Research and development credit. For tax years ending

13allowed a credit against the tax imposed by subsections (a)
14and (b) of this Section for increasing research activities in
15this State. The credit allowed against the tax imposed by
16subsections (a) and (b) shall be equal to 6 1/2% of the
17qualifying expenditures for increasing research activities in
18this State. For partners, shareholders of subchapter S
19corporations, and owners of limited liability companies, if
20the liability company is treated as a partnership for purposes
21of federal and State income taxation, there shall be allowed a
22credit under this subsection to be determined in accordance
23with the determination of income and distributive share of
24income under Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the
25Internal Revenue Code.
26    For purposes of this subsection, "qualifying expenditures"

 

 

HB0392- 30 -LRB102 03939 HLH 13955 b

1means the qualifying expenditures as defined for the federal
2credit for increasing research activities which would be
3allowable under Section 41 of the Internal Revenue Code and
4which are conducted in this State, "qualifying expenditures
5for increasing research activities in this State" means the
6excess of qualifying expenditures for the taxable year in
7which incurred over qualifying expenditures for the base
8period, "qualifying expenditures for the base period" means
9the average of the qualifying expenditures for each year in
10the base period, and "base period" means the 3 taxable years
11immediately preceding the taxable year for which the
12determination is being made.
13    Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the taxable
14year may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
15unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over
16as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
17taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever
18occurs first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year
19ending prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any
20year ending on or after December 31, 2003.
21    If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
222 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
23year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
24given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
25remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
26applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax

 

 

HB0392- 31 -LRB102 03939 HLH 13955 b

1liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
2credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
3following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
4that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
5than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
6credit is given was incurred.
7    No inference shall be drawn from Public Act 91-644 this
8amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly in construing this
9Section for taxable years beginning before January 1, 1999.
10    It is the intent of the General Assembly that the research
11and development credit under this subsection (k) shall apply
12continuously for all tax years ending on or after December 31,
132004 and ending prior to January 1, 2027, including, but not
14limited to, the period beginning on January 1, 2016 and ending
15on July 6, 2017 (the effective date of Public Act 100-22) this
16amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly. All actions
17taken in reliance on the continuation of the credit under this
18subsection (k) by any taxpayer are hereby validated.
19    A taxpayer is not required to have obtained a research and
20development credit with respect to his or her federal income
21taxes to qualify for a credit under this subsection.
22    (l) Environmental Remediation Tax Credit.
23        (i) For tax years ending after December 31, 1997 and
24    on or before December 31, 2001, a taxpayer shall be

HB0392- 32 -LRB102 03939 HLH 13955 b

1    unreimbursed eligible remediation costs, as specified in
2    this subsection. For purposes of this Section,
3    "unreimbursed eligible remediation costs" means costs
4    approved by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
5    ("Agency") under Section 58.14 of the Environmental
6    Protection Act that were paid in performing environmental
7    remediation at a site for which a No Further Remediation
8    Letter was issued by the Agency and recorded under Section
9    58.10 of the Environmental Protection Act. The credit must
10    be claimed for the taxable year in which Agency approval
11    of the eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit
12    is not available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any
13    related party caused or contributed to, in any material
14    respect, a release of regulated substances on, in, or
15    under the site that was identified and addressed by the
16    remedial action pursuant to the Site Remediation Program
17    of the Environmental Protection Act. After the Pollution
18    Control Board rules are adopted pursuant to the Illinois
19    Administrative Procedure Act for the administration and
20    enforcement of Section 58.9 of the Environmental
21    Protection Act, determinations as to credit availability
22    for purposes of this Section shall be made consistent with
23    those rules. For purposes of this Section, "taxpayer"
24    includes a person whose tax attributes the taxpayer has
25    succeeded to under Section 381 of the Internal Revenue

2    Section 267 of the Internal Revenue Code by virtue of
3    being a related taxpayer, as well as any of its partners.
4    The credit allowed against the tax imposed by subsections
5    (a) and (b) shall be equal to 25% of the unreimbursed
6    eligible remediation costs in excess of $100,000 per site,
7    except that the $100,000 threshold shall not apply to any
8    site contained in an enterprise zone as determined by the
9    Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
10    Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity). The
11    total credit allowed shall not exceed $40,000 per year
12    with a maximum total of $150,000 per site. For partners

11        (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to .5%
12    of the basis of qualified property placed in service
13    during the taxable year, provided such property is placed
14    in service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed
15    an additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of
16    qualified property placed in service during the taxable
17    year, provided such property is placed in service on or
18    after July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment
19    within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the
20    preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's employment
21    records filed with the Illinois Department of Employment
22    Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be
23    deemed to have met the 1% growth in base employment for the
24    first year in which they file employment records with the
25    Illinois Department of Employment Security. The provisions
26    added to this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored

 

 

HB0392- 52 -LRB102 03939 HLH 13955 b

1    by Public Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of
2    existing law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year,
3    the increase in base employment within Illinois over the
4    preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit
5    shall 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

 

 

HB0392- 53 -LRB102 03939 HLH 13955 b

1    complying with the requirements specified in clause (i)
2    and (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
10    or the liability as later amended, such excess may be
11    carried forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5
12    taxable years following the excess credit years. The
13    credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
14    there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
15    tax year that is available to offset a liability, earlier
16    credit 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
22        or improvements to real property that are not a
23        structural component of a building such as
24        landscaping, sewer lines, local access roads, fencing,
25        parking lots, and other appurtenances;
26            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the

 

 

HB0392- 54 -LRB102 03939 HLH 13955 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
23    of this subsection (e) the term "mining" shall have the
24    same meaning as the term "mining" in Section 613(c) of the
25    Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this subsection
26    (e), the term "retailing" means the sale of tangible

 

 

HB0392- 55 -LRB102 03939 HLH 13955 b

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

 

 

HB0392- 56 -LRB102 03939 HLH 13955 b

1    (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
2    been allowed for the year in which credit for such
3    property was originally allowed by eliminating such
4    property from such computation and, (ii) subtracting such
5    recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
6    allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (7), a
7    reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
8    from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be
9    deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
10    of such reduction.
11        (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
12    the basis of qualified property shall not include costs
13    incurred after December 31, 2018, except for costs
14    incurred pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or
15    before December 31, 2018.
16        (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000,
17    a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners
18    the credits to which the partnership is entitled under
19    this subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may
20    use the credit allocated to him or her under this
21    paragraph only against the tax imposed in subsections (c)
22    and (d) of this Section. If the partnership makes that
23    election, those credits shall be allocated among the
24    partners in the partnership in accordance with the rules
25    set forth in Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code,
26    and the rules promulgated under that Section, and the

 

 

HB0392- 57 -LRB102 03939 HLH 13955 b

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

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

 

 

HB0392- 59 -LRB102 03939 HLH 13955 b

1    from more than one tax year that is available to offset a
2    liability, the credit accruing first in time shall be
3    applied first.
4        (2) The term qualified property means property which:
5            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
6        buildings and structural components of buildings;
7            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
8        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
9        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
10        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
11        (f);
12            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
13        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;

17        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
18        the credit provided by this subsection (f) or
19        subsection (e).
20        (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
21    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
22    income tax purposes.
23        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income
24    tax depreciation purposes is increased after it has been

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

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

6    shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
7    employment for the first year in which they file
8    employment records with the Illinois Department of
9    Employment Security. If, in any year, the increase in base
10    employment within Illinois over the preceding year is less
11    than 1%, the additional credit shall be limited to that
12    percentage times a fraction, the numerator of which is
13    0.5% and the denominator of which is 1%, but shall not
14    exceed 0.5%.
15        (8) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1,
16    2021, there shall be allowed an Enterprise Zone
17    construction jobs credit against the taxes imposed under
18    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section as provided in
19    Section 13 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act.
20        The credit or credits may not reduce the taxpayer's
21    liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or
22    credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may
23    be carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's
24    liability in succeeding calendar years in the same manner
25    provided under paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act.
26    The credit or credits shall be applied to the earliest
