24reinsurance arrangements), beginning with taxable years ending

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

 

 

SB2124- 9 -LRB102 14997 HLH 20352 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

13        (1) For the purposes of subsection (d-1), in no event

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

SB2124- 10 -LRB102 14997 HLH 20352 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

 

 

SB2124- 11 -LRB102 14997 HLH 20352 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

 

 

SB2124- 12 -LRB102 14997 HLH 20352 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

 

 

SB2124- 13 -LRB102 14997 HLH 20352 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

 

 

SB2124- 14 -LRB102 14997 HLH 20352 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.

 

 

SB2124- 15 -LRB102 14997 HLH 20352 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

 

 

SB2124- 16 -LRB102 14997 HLH 20352 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

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

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"

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

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

 

 

SB2124- 20 -LRB102 14997 HLH 20352 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

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

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

9        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income
10    tax depreciation purposes is increased after it has been

15        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
16    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.

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

9subsection which is unused in the year the credit is computed
10because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by subsections

SB2124- 29 -LRB102 14997 HLH 20352 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.

23with the determination of income and distributive share of
24income under Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the

26    For purposes of this subsection, "qualifying expenditures"

 

 

SB2124- 30 -LRB102 14997 HLH 20352 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

 

 

SB2124- 31 -LRB102 14997 HLH 20352 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

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

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

1    which:
2            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
3        buildings and structural components of buildings and
4        signs that are real property, but not including land
5        or improvements to real property that are not a
6        structural component of a building such as
7        landscaping, sewer lines, local access roads, fencing,
8        parking lots, and other appurtenances;
9            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
10        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
11        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
12        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
13        (e);
14            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
15        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
16            (D) is used in Illinois by a taxpayer who is
17        primarily engaged in manufacturing, or in mining coal
18        or fluorite, or in retailing, or was placed in service
19        on or after July 1, 2006 in a River Edge Redevelopment
20        Zone established pursuant to the River Edge
21        Redevelopment Zone Act; and
22            (E) has not previously been used in Illinois in
23        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
24        the credit provided by this subsection (e) or
25        subsection (f).
26        (3) For purposes of this subsection (e),

 

 

SB2124- 55 -LRB102 14997 HLH 20352 b

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

 

 

SB2124- 56 -LRB102 14997 HLH 20352 b

1        (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
2    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
3        (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
4    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
5    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
6    any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
7    months after being placed in service, the Personal
8    Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year
9    shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined by
10    (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
11    been allowed for the year in which credit for such
12    property was originally allowed by eliminating such
13    property from such computation and, (ii) subtracting such
14    recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
15    allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (7), a
16    reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
17    from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be
18    deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
19    of such reduction.
20        (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
21    the basis of qualified property shall not include costs
22    incurred after December 31, 2018, except for costs
23    incurred pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or
24    before December 31, 2018.
25        (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000,
26    a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners

 

 

SB2124- 57 -LRB102 14997 HLH 20352 b

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

9    Illinois Enterprise Zone Act or, for property placed in
10    service on or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge
11    Redevelopment Zone established pursuant to the River Edge
12    Redevelopment Zone Act. For partners, shareholders of
13    Subchapter S corporations, and owners of limited liability
14    companies, if the liability company is treated as a
15    partnership for purposes of federal and State income
16    taxation, there shall be allowed a credit under this
17    subsection (f) to be determined in accordance with the
18    determination of income and distributive share of income
19    under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the
20    Internal Revenue Code. The credit shall be .5% of the
21    basis for such property. The credit shall be available
22    only in the taxable year in which the property is placed in
23    service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge Redevelopment
24    Zone and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
25    reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by

5    original liability or the liability as later amended, such
6    excess may be carried forward and applied to the tax
7    liability of the 5 taxable years following the excess
8    credit year. The credit shall be applied to the earliest
9    year for which there is a liability. If there is credit
10    from more than one tax year that is available to offset a
11    liability, the credit accruing first in time shall be
12    applied first.
13        (2) The term qualified property means property which:
14            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
15        buildings and structural components of buildings;
16            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
17        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
18        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
19        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
20        (f);
21            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
22        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
23            (D) is used in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge

1        the credit provided by this subsection (f) or
2        subsection (e).
3        (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
4    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal

6        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income
7    tax depreciation purposes is increased after it has been
8    placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
9    Redevelopment Zone 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        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
13    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
14        (6) 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 the Enterprise
18    Zone or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months
19    after being placed in service, the tax imposed under
20    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable
21    year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
22    by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
23    been allowed for the year in which credit for such
24    property was originally allowed by eliminating such
25    property from such computation, and (ii) subtracting such
26    recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously

4    deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
5    of such reduction.
6        (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
7    to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
8    service during the taxable year in a River Edge

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

15    shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
16    employment for the first year in which they file
17    employment records with the Illinois Department of
18    Employment Security. If, in any year, the increase in base
19    employment within Illinois over the preceding year is less
20    than 1%, the additional credit shall be limited to that
21    percentage times a fraction, the numerator of which is
22    0.5% and the denominator of which is 1%, but shall not
23    exceed 0.5%.
24        (8) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1,
25    2021, there shall be allowed an Enterprise Zone

6    be carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's
7    liability in succeeding calendar years in the same manner
8    provided under paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act.
9    The credit or credits shall be applied to the earliest
10    year for which there is a tax liability. If there are
11    credits from more than one taxable year that are available
12    to offset a liability, the earlier credit shall be applied
13    first.
14        For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
15    corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
16    if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
17    the purposes of federal and State income taxation, there
18    shall be allowed a credit under this Section to be
19    determined in accordance with the determination of income
20    and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and

19    Act, and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
20    reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by

10    original liability or the liability as later amended, such
11    excess may be carried forward and applied to the tax
12    liability of the 5 taxable years following the excess
13    credit year. The credit shall be applied to the earliest
14    year for which there is a liability. If there is credit
15    from more than one tax year that is available to offset a
16    liability, the credit accruing first in time shall be
17    applied first.
18        Changes made in this subdivision (h)(1) by Public Act

7        Section.
8        (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
9    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
10    income tax purposes.
11        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income
12    tax depreciation purposes is increased after it has been
13    placed in service in a federally designated Foreign Trade
14    Zone or Sub-Zone located in Illinois by the taxpayer, the
15    amount of such increase shall be deemed property placed in
16    service on the date of such increase in basis.
17        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
18    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
19        (6) If during any taxable year ending on or before
20    December 31, 1996, any property ceases to be qualified
21    property in the hands of the taxpayer within 48 months
22    after being placed in service, or the situs of any
23    qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48

2    would have been allowed for the year in which credit for
3    such property was originally allowed by eliminating such

9which incurred over qualifying expenditures for the base
10period, "qualifying expenditures for the base period" means
11the average of the qualifying expenditures for each year in

17unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over
18as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
19taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever
20occurs first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year
21ending prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any

26given year. If a tax liability for the given year still

 

 

SB2124- 72 -LRB102 14997 HLH 20352 b

1remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
2applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
3liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
4credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
5following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
6that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
7than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
8credit is given was incurred.
