12reinsurance arrangements), beginning with taxable years ending
13on or after December 31, 1999, the sum of the rates of tax
14imposed by subsections (b) and (d) shall be reduced (but not
15increased) to the rate at which the total amount of tax imposed
16under this Act, net of all credits allowed under this Act,
17shall equal (i) the total amount of tax that would be imposed
18on the foreign insurer's net income allocable to Illinois for

22insurer's state or country of domicile, net of all credits
23allowed or (ii) a rate of zero if no such tax is imposed on such

HB2890- 9 -LRB098 10063 HLH 40222 b

1        (1) For the purposes of subsection (d-1), in no event
2    shall the sum of the rates of tax imposed by subsections

6        credits allowed under this Act, plus
7            (B) the privilege tax imposed by Section 409 of the

24    has been reduced to zero, against the rates imposed by
25    subsection (d).
26    This subsection (d-1) is exempt from the provisions of

 

 

HB2890- 10 -LRB098 10063 HLH 40222 b

1Section 250.
2    (e) Investment credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit
3against the Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for
4investment in qualified property.
5        (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to .5%
6    of the basis of qualified property placed in service during
7    the taxable year, provided such property is placed in
8    service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed an
9    additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of qualified
10    property placed in service during the taxable year,
11    provided such property is placed in service on or after
12    July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment within
13    Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the preceding
14    year as determined by the taxpayer's employment records
15    filed with the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
16    Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be deemed to have
17    met the 1% growth in base employment for the first year in
18    which they file employment records with the Illinois
19    Department of Employment Security. The provisions added to
20    this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored by Public
21    Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of existing
22    law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year, the
23    increase in base employment within Illinois over the
24    preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit shall
25    be limited to that percentage times a fraction, the
26    numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is

 

 

HB2890- 11 -LRB098 10063 HLH 40222 b

1    1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall
2    not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
3    taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may
4    any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year
5    other than the year in which the property was placed in
6    service in Illinois. For tax years ending on or after
7    December 31, 1987, and on or before December 31, 1988, the
8    credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
9    property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
10    credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it
11    exceeds the original liability or the liability as later
12    amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied to
13    the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the
14    excess credit years if the taxpayer (i) makes investments
15    which cause the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time
16    equivalent jobs in Illinois, (ii) is located in an
17    enterprise zone established pursuant to the Illinois
18    Enterprise Zone Act and (iii) is certified by the
19    Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
20    Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) as
21    complying with the requirements specified in clause (i) and
22    (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and
23    Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic
24    Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all
25    such certifications immediately. For tax years ending
26    after December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for

 

 

HB2890- 12 -LRB098 10063 HLH 40222 b

1    the tax year in which the property is placed in service,
2    or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
3    for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability or
4    the liability as later amended, such excess may be carried
5    forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable
6    years following the excess credit years. The credit shall
7    be applied to the earliest year for which there is a
8    liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
9    that is available to offset a liability, earlier credit
10    shall be applied first.
11        (2) The term "qualified property" means property
12    which:
13            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
14        buildings and structural components of buildings and
15        signs that are real property, but not including land or
16        improvements to real property that are not a structural
17        component of a building such as landscaping, sewer
18        lines, local access roads, fencing, parking lots, and
19        other appurtenances;
20            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
21        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
22        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
23        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
24        (e);
25            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
26        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;

 

 

HB2890- 13 -LRB098 10063 HLH 40222 b

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

 

 

HB2890- 14 -LRB098 10063 HLH 40222 b

1    taxable years ending after December 31, 2008, does not
2    include the generation, transmission, or distribution of
3    electricity.
4        (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
5    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
6    income tax purposes.
7        (5) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
8    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
9    in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of such
10    increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
11    date of such increase in basis.
12        (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
13    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
14        (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
15    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
16    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
17    any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
18    months after being placed in service, the Personal Property
19    Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year shall be
20    increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
21    recomputing the investment credit which would have been
22    allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
23    originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
24    computation and, (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
25    from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
26    purposes of this paragraph (7), a reduction of the basis of

 

 

HB2890- 15 -LRB098 10063 HLH 40222 b

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

3    S corporation for a subtraction under subparagraph (S) of
4    paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 203 shall be
5    allowed a credit under this subsection (e) equal to its
6    share of the credit earned under this subsection (e) during

8    corporation, 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 Internal
11    Revenue Code. This paragraph is exempt from the provisions
12    of Section 250.
13    (f) Investment credit; Enterprise Zone; River Edge

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

 

 

HB2890- 18 -LRB098 10063 HLH 40222 b

1        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
2        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
3        (f);
4            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
5        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
6            (D) is used in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
7        Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer; and

19    increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
20    date of such increase in basis.
21        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
22    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
23        (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to

HB2890- 19 -LRB098 10063 HLH 40222 b

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

19    employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over
20    the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's

23    shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
24    employment for the first year in which they file employment
25    records with the Illinois Department of Employment

HB2890- 20 -LRB098 10063 HLH 40222 b

1    within Illinois over the preceding year is less than 1%,
2    the additional credit shall be limited to that percentage
3    times a fraction, the numerator of which is 0.5% and the
4    denominator of which is 1%, but shall not exceed 0.5%.

2    credit shall be allowed for the tax year immediately
3    following the tax year in which the eligible employees are
4    hired. If the amount of the credit exceeds the tax
5    liability for that year, whether it exceeds the original
6    liability or the liability as later amended, such excess
7    may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of
8    the 5 taxable years following the excess credit year. The
9    credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
10    there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
11    tax year that is available to offset a liability, earlier
12    credit shall be applied first.

6    Businesses under subdivisions (a)(3)(B), (a)(3)(C), and
7    (a)(3)(D) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone
8    Act, and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
9    reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by
10    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. The
11    credit applicable to such investments shall be taken in the
12    taxable year in which such investments have been completed.
13    The credit for additional investments beyond the minimum
14    investment by a designated high impact business authorized

23    service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax
24    liability for that year, whether it exceeds the original
25    liability or the liability as later amended, such excess
26    may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of

 

 

HB2890- 24 -LRB098 10063 HLH 40222 b

1    the 5 taxable years following the excess credit year. The
2    credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
3    there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
4    tax year that is available to offset a liability, the
5    credit accruing first in time shall be applied first.
6        Changes made in this subdivision (h)(1) by Public Act

23    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
24    income tax purposes.
25        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
26    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed

 

 

HB2890- 25 -LRB098 10063 HLH 40222 b

1    in service in a federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or
2    Sub-Zone located in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of
3    such increase shall be deemed property placed in service on
4    the 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 ending on or before
8    December 31, 1996, any property ceases to be qualified
9    property in the hands of the taxpayer within 48 months
10    after being placed in service, or the situs of any
11    qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
12    months 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 property
17    was originally allowed by eliminating such property from
18    such computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed
19    credit from the amount of credit previously allowed. For
20    the purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the
21    basis of qualified property resulting from a
22    redetermination of the purchase price shall be deemed a
23    disposition of qualified property to the extent of such
24    reduction.
25        (7) Beginning with tax years ending after December 31,

6    for the taxable year in which the taxpayer relocated its
7    facility by an amount equal to the amount of credit
8    received by the taxpayer under this subsection (h).
9    (i) Credit for Personal Property Tax Replacement Income
10Tax. For tax years ending prior to December 31, 2003, a credit
11shall be allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and
12(b) of this Section for the tax imposed by subsections (c) and

14multiplying the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
15Section by a fraction, the numerator of which is base income
16allocable to Illinois and the denominator of which is Illinois
17base income, and further multiplying the product by the tax
18rate imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section.
19    Any credit earned on or after December 31, 1986 under this
20subsection which is unused in the year the credit is computed
21because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by subsections (a)
22and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the original
23liability or the liability as later amended) may be carried
24forward and applied to the tax liability imposed by subsections
25(a) and (b) of the 5 taxable years following the excess credit

2applied first to the earliest year for which there is a
3liability. If there is a credit under this subsection from more
4than one tax year that is available to offset a liability the
5earliest credit arising under this subsection shall be applied
6first.
7    If, during any taxable year ending on or after December 31,
81986, the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
9Section for which a taxpayer has claimed a credit under this
10subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of credit for such tax
11shall also be reduced. Such reduction shall be determined by
12recomputing the credit to take into account the reduced tax
13imposed by subsections (c) and (d). If any portion of the
14reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different
15taxable year, an amended return shall be filed for such taxable
16year to reduce the amount of credit claimed.
17    (j) Training expense credit. Beginning with tax years
18ending on or after December 31, 1986 and prior to December 31,
192003, a taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the tax

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

13credit for increasing research activities which would be
14allowable under Section 41 of the Internal Revenue Code and
15which are conducted in this State, "qualifying expenditures for
16increasing research activities in this State" means the excess
17of qualifying expenditures for the taxable year in which
18incurred over qualifying expenditures for the base period,
19"qualifying expenditures for the base period" means the average
20of the qualifying expenditures for each year in the base
21period, and "base period" means the 3 taxable years immediately
22preceding the taxable year for which the determination is being
23made.

25year may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
26unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over

 

 

HB2890- 30 -LRB098 10063 HLH 40222 b

1as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
2taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever occurs
3first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year ending
4prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any year
5ending on or after December 31, 2003.
6    If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
72 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
8year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
9given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
10remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
11applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
12liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
13credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
14following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
15that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
16than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the

14    that was identified and addressed by the remedial action
15    pursuant to the Site Remediation Program of the
16    Environmental Protection Act. After the Pollution Control
17    Board rules are adopted pursuant to the Illinois

8    Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
9    Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity). The
10    total credit allowed shall not exceed $40,000 per year with
11    a maximum total of $150,000 per site. For partners and
12    shareholders of subchapter S corporations, there shall be

14    accordance with the determination of income and
15    distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704 and
16    subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.
