22reinsurance arrangements), beginning with taxable years ending
23on or after December 31, 1999, the sum of the rates of tax
24imposed by subsections (b) and (d) shall be reduced (but not
25increased) to the rate at which the total amount of tax imposed
26under this Act, net of all credits allowed under this Act,

 

 

HB4670- 9 -LRB101 17189 HLH 66591 b

1shall equal (i) the total amount of tax that would be imposed
2on the foreign insurer's net income allocable to Illinois for
3the taxable year by such foreign insurer's state or country of
4domicile if that net income were subject to all income taxes
5and taxes measured by net income imposed by such foreign
6insurer's state or country of domicile, net of all credits
7allowed or (ii) a rate of zero if no such tax is imposed on such
8income by the foreign insurer's state of domicile. For the
9purposes of this subsection (d-1), an inter-affiliate includes
10a mutual insurer under common management.
11        (1) For the purposes of subsection (d-1), in no event
12    shall the sum of the rates of tax imposed by subsections
13    (b) and (d) be reduced below the rate at which the sum of:
14            (A) the total amount of tax imposed on such foreign
15        insurer under this Act for a taxable year, net of all
16        credits allowed under this Act, plus
17            (B) the privilege tax imposed by Section 409 of the

HB4670- 10 -LRB101 17189 HLH 66591 b

1    no event increase the rates imposed under subsections (b)
2    and (d).
3        (2) Any reduction in the rates of tax imposed by this
4    subsection shall be applied first against the rates imposed
5    by subsection (b) and only after the tax imposed by
6    subsection (a) net of all credits allowed under this
7    Section other than the credit allowed under subsection (i)
8    has been reduced to zero, against the rates imposed by
9    subsection (d).
10    This subsection (d-1) is exempt from the provisions of
11Section 250.
12    (e) Investment credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit
13against the Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for
14investment in qualified property.
15        (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to .5%
16    of the basis of qualified property placed in service during
17    the taxable year, provided such property is placed in
18    service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed an
19    additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of qualified
20    property placed in service during the taxable year,
21    provided such property is placed in service on or after
22    July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment within
23    Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the preceding
24    year as determined by the taxpayer's employment records
25    filed with the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
26    Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be deemed to have

 

 

HB4670- 11 -LRB101 17189 HLH 66591 b

1    met the 1% growth in base employment for the first year in
2    which they file employment records with the Illinois
3    Department of Employment Security. The provisions added to
4    this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored by Public
5    Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of existing
6    law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year, the
7    increase in base employment within Illinois over the
8    preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit shall
9    be limited to that percentage times a fraction, the
10    numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is
11    1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall
12    not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
13    taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may
14    any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year
15    other than the year in which the property was placed in
16    service in Illinois. For tax years ending on or after
17    December 31, 1987, and on or before December 31, 1988, the
18    credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
19    property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
20    credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it
21    exceeds the original liability or the liability as later
22    amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied to
23    the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the
24    excess credit years if the taxpayer (i) makes investments
25    which cause the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time
26    equivalent jobs in Illinois, (ii) is located in an

 

 

HB4670- 12 -LRB101 17189 HLH 66591 b

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

 

 

HB4670- 13 -LRB101 17189 HLH 66591 b

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

 

 

HB4670- 14 -LRB101 17189 HLH 66591 b

1    this subsection (e) the term "mining" shall have the same
2    meaning as the term "mining" in Section 613(c) of the
3    Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this subsection (e),
4    the term "retailing" means the sale of tangible personal
5    property for use or consumption and not for resale, or
6    services rendered in conjunction with the sale of tangible
7    personal property for use or consumption and not for
8    resale. For purposes of this subsection (e), "tangible
9    personal property" has the same meaning as when that term
10    is used in the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and, for
11    taxable years ending after December 31, 2008, does not
12    include the generation, transmission, or distribution of
13    electricity.
14        (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
15    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
16    income tax purposes.
17        (5) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
18    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
19    in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of such
20    increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
21    date of such increase in basis.
22        (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
23    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
24        (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
25    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
26    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of

 

 

HB4670- 15 -LRB101 17189 HLH 66591 b

1    any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
2    months after being placed in service, the Personal Property
3    Tax Replacement Income Tax 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 (7), 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        (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
15    the basis of qualified property shall not include costs
16    incurred after December 31, 2018, except for costs incurred
17    pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or before
18    December 31, 2018.
19        (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000,
20    a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners the
21    credits to which the partnership is entitled under this
22    subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may use the
23    credit allocated to him or her under this paragraph only
24    against the tax imposed in subsections (c) and (d) of this
25    Section. If the partnership makes that election, those
26    credits shall be allocated among the partners in the

 

 

HB4670- 16 -LRB101 17189 HLH 66591 b

1    partnership in accordance with the rules set forth in
2    Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the rules
3    promulgated under that Section, and the allocated amount of
4    the credits shall be allowed to the partners for that
5    taxable year. The partnership shall make this election on
6    its Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax return for
7    that taxable year. The election to pass through the credits
8    shall be irrevocable.
9        For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2000,
10    a partner that qualifies its partnership for a subtraction
11    under subparagraph (I) of paragraph (2) of subsection (d)
12    of Section 203 or a shareholder that qualifies a Subchapter

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

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

 

 

HB4670- 19 -LRB101 17189 HLH 66591 b

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

2    service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
3    employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over
4    the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
5    employment records filed with the Illinois Department of
6    Employment Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois
7    shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
8    employment for the first year in which they file employment
9    records with the Illinois Department of Employment
10    Security. If, in any year, the increase in base employment
11    within Illinois over the preceding year is less than 1%,
12    the additional credit shall be limited to that percentage
13    times a fraction, the numerator of which is 0.5% and the
14    denominator of which is 1%, but shall not 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 be
23    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 year

 

 

HB4670- 21 -LRB101 17189 HLH 66591 b

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

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

5    Enterprise Zone Act have been satisfied or (ii) until the
6    time authorized in subsection (b-5) of the Illinois

14    taxable year in which such investments have been completed.
15    The credit for additional investments beyond the minimum
16    investment by a designated high impact business authorized
17    under subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois
18    Enterprise Zone Act shall be available only in the taxable
19    year in which the property is placed in service and shall
20    not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
21    taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by subsections (a)
22    and (b) of this Section to below zero. For tax years ending
23    on or after December 31, 1987, the credit shall be allowed
24    for the tax year in which the property is placed in
25    service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax
26    liability for that year, whether it exceeds the original

 

 

HB4670- 23 -LRB101 17189 HLH 66591 b

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

10    reflect existing law.
11        (2) The term qualified property means property which:

16        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
17        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
18        (h);
19            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
20        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code; and
21            (D) is not eligible for the Enterprise Zone
22        Investment Credit provided by subsection (f) of this

1        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
2    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
3    in service in a federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or
4    Sub-Zone located in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of
5    such increase shall be deemed property placed in service on
6    the date of such increase in basis.
7        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
8    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.

11    property in the hands of the taxpayer within 48 months
12    after being placed in service, or the situs of any
13    qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
14    months after being placed in service, the tax imposed under
15    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable

17    by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
18    been allowed for the year in which credit for such property
19    was originally allowed by eliminating such property from
20    such computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed
21    credit from the amount of credit previously allowed. For
22    the purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the
23    basis of qualified property resulting from a

21first to the earliest year for which there is a liability. If
22there is a credit under this subsection from more than one tax
23year that is available to offset a liability, the earliest
24credit arising under this subsection shall be applied first. No

5allowed a credit against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and
6(b) of this Section for increasing research activities in this

8subsections (a) and (b) shall be equal to 6 1/2% of the
9qualifying expenditures for increasing research activities in
10this State. For partners, shareholders of subchapter S
11corporations, and owners of limited liability companies, if the
12liability company is treated as a partnership for purposes of
13federal and State income taxation, there shall be allowed a
14credit under this subsection to be determined in accordance
15with the determination of income and distributive share of
16income under Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the

18    For purposes of this subsection the following terms have
19the following meanings. "Qualifying , "qualifying
20expenditures" means the qualifying expenditures as defined for
21the federal credit for increasing research activities which
22would be allowable under Section 41 of the Internal Revenue
23Code and which are conducted in this State. "Qualifying ,
24"qualifying expenditures for increasing research activities in
25this State" means the excess of qualifying expenditures for the
26taxable year in which incurred over qualifying expenditures for

 

 

HB4670- 30 -LRB101 17189 HLH 66591 b

1the base period. "Qualifying , "qualifying expenditures for the
2base period" means: (1) for taxable years ending prior to
3December 31, 2020, the average of the qualifying expenditures
4for each year in the base period; and (2) for taxable years
5ending on or after December 31, 2020, 50% of the average of the
6qualifying expenditures for each year in the base period. "Base
7, and "base period" means the 3 taxable years immediately
8preceding the taxable year for which the determination is being
9made.
10    Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the taxable
11year may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
12unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over
13as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
14taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever occurs
15first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year ending
16prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any year
17ending on or after December 31, 2003.
18    If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
192 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
20year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
21given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
22remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
23applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
24liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
25credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
26following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except

 

 

HB4670- 31 -LRB101 17189 HLH 66591 b

1that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
2than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
3credit is given was incurred.
4    No inference shall be drawn from Public Act 91-644 this
5amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly in construing this
6Section for taxable years beginning before January 1, 1999.
7    It is the intent of the General Assembly that the research

12on July 6, 2017 (the effective date of Public Act 100-22) this
13amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly. All actions taken
14in reliance on the continuation of the credit under this
15subsection (k) by any taxpayer are hereby validated.

17Section 250.
18    (l) Environmental Remediation Tax Credit.
19        (i) For tax years ending after December 31, 1997 and on

21    credit against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b)
22    of this Section for certain amounts paid for unreimbursed
23    eligible remediation costs, as specified in this
24    subsection. For purposes of this Section, "unreimbursed
25    eligible remediation costs" means costs approved by the
26    Illinois Environmental Protection Agency ("Agency") under

2    paid in performing environmental remediation at a site for
3    which a No Further Remediation Letter was issued by the
4    Agency and recorded under Section 58.10 of the
5    Environmental Protection Act. The credit must be claimed
6    for the taxable year in which Agency approval of the
7    eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit is not
8    available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any related
9    party caused or contributed to, in any material respect, a
10    release of regulated substances on, in, or under the site
11    that was identified and addressed by the remedial action
12    pursuant to the Site Remediation Program of the
13    Environmental Protection Act. After the Pollution Control
14    Board rules are adopted pursuant to the Illinois
15    Administrative Procedure Act for the administration and
16    enforcement of Section 58.9 of the Environmental
17    Protection Act, determinations as to credit availability
18    for purposes of this Section shall be made consistent with
19    those rules. For purposes of this Section, "taxpayer"
20    includes a person whose tax attributes the taxpayer has
21    succeeded to under Section 381 of the Internal Revenue Code
22    and "related party" includes the persons disallowed a
23    deduction for losses by paragraphs (b), (c), and (f)(1) of
24    Section 267 of the Internal Revenue Code by virtue of being
25    a related taxpayer, as well as any of its partners. The
26    credit allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a)

 

 

HB4670- 33 -LRB101 17189 HLH 66591 b

1    and (b) shall be equal to 25% of the unreimbursed eligible
2    remediation costs in excess of $100,000 per site, except
3    that the $100,000 threshold shall not apply to any site
4    contained in an enterprise zone as determined by the
5    Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
6    Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity). The
7    total credit allowed shall not exceed $40,000 per year with
8    a maximum total of $150,000 per site. For partners and
9    shareholders of subchapter S corporations, there shall be

8    2003, or 1.75% for taxable years ending on or after
9    December 31, 2003, of the net taxable premiums written for
10    the taxable year, as described by subsection (1) of Section
11    409 of the Illinois Insurance Code. This paragraph will in
12    no event increase the rates imposed under subsections (b)
13    and (d).
14        (2) Any reduction in the rates of tax imposed by this
15    subsection shall be applied first against the rates imposed
16    by subsection (b) and only after the tax imposed by
17    subsection (a) net of all credits allowed under this
18    Section other than the credit allowed under subsection (i)
19    has been reduced to zero, against the rates imposed by
20    subsection (d).
21    This subsection (d-1) is exempt from the provisions of

HB4670- 50 -LRB101 17189 HLH 66591 b

1    of the basis of qualified property placed in service during
2    the taxable year, provided such property is placed in
3    service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed an
4    additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of qualified
5    property placed in service during the taxable year,
6    provided such property is placed in service on or after
7    July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment within
8    Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the preceding
9    year as determined by the taxpayer's employment records
10    filed with the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
11    Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be deemed to have
12    met the 1% growth in base employment for the first year in
13    which they file employment records with the Illinois
14    Department of Employment Security. The provisions added to
15    this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored by Public
16    Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of existing
17    law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year, the
18    increase in base employment within Illinois over the
19    preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit shall
20    be limited to that percentage times a fraction, the
21    numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is
22    1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall
23    not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
24    taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may
25    any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year
26    other than the year in which the property was placed in

 

 

HB4670- 51 -LRB101 17189 HLH 66591 b

1    service in Illinois. For tax years ending on or after
2    December 31, 1987, and on or before December 31, 1988, the
3    credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
4    property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
5    credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it
6    exceeds the original liability or the liability as later
7    amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied to
8    the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the
9    excess credit years if the taxpayer (i) makes investments
10    which cause the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time
11    equivalent jobs in Illinois, (ii) is located in an
12    enterprise zone established pursuant to the Illinois
13    Enterprise Zone Act and (iii) is certified by the
14    Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
15    Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) as
16    complying with the requirements specified in clause (i) and
17    (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and
18    Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic
19    Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all
20    such certifications immediately. For tax years ending
21    after December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for
22    the tax year in which the property is placed in service,
23    or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
24    for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability or
25    the liability as later amended, such excess may be carried
26    forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable

 

 

HB4670- 52 -LRB101 17189 HLH 66591 b

1    years following the excess credit years. The credit shall
2    be applied to the earliest year for which there is a
3    liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
4    that is available to offset a liability, earlier credit
5    shall be applied first.
6        (2) The term "qualified property" means property
7    which:
8            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
9        buildings and structural components of buildings and
10        signs that are real property, but not including land or
11        improvements to real property that are not a structural
12        component of a building such as landscaping, sewer
13        lines, local access roads, fencing, parking lots, and
14        other appurtenances;
15            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
16        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
17        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
18        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
19        (e);
20            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
21        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
22            (D) is used in Illinois by a taxpayer who is
23        primarily engaged in manufacturing, or in mining coal
24        or fluorite, or in retailing, or was placed in service
25        on or after July 1, 2006 in a River Edge Redevelopment
26        Zone established pursuant to the River Edge

 

 

HB4670- 53 -LRB101 17189 HLH 66591 b

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

 

 

HB4670- 54 -LRB101 17189 HLH 66591 b

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

 

 

HB4670- 55 -LRB101 17189 HLH 66591 b

1    incurred after December 31, 2018, except for costs incurred
2    pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or before

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

 

 

HB4670- 56 -LRB101 17189 HLH 66591 b

1    share of the credit earned under this subsection (e) during
2    the taxable year by the partnership or Subchapter S
3    corporation, determined in accordance with the
4    determination of income and distributive share of income
5    under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal

14    Enterprise Zone Act or, for property placed in service on
15    or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge Redevelopment Zone
16    established pursuant to the River Edge Redevelopment Zone
17    Act. For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
18    corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
19    if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
20    purposes of federal and State income taxation, there shall
21    be allowed a credit under this subsection (f) to be
22    determined in accordance with the determination of income
23    and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
24    and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. The credit
25    shall be .5% of the basis for such property. The credit

1    property is placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or
2    River Edge Redevelopment Zone and shall not be allowed to
3    the extent that it would reduce a taxpayer's liability for
4    the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section
5    to below zero. For tax years ending on or after December
6    31, 1985, the credit shall be allowed for the tax year in
7    which the property is placed in service, or, if the amount
8    of the credit exceeds the tax liability for that year,
9    whether it exceeds the original liability or the liability
10    as later amended, such excess may be carried forward and
11    applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable years
12    following the excess credit year. The credit shall be
13    applied to the earliest year for which there is a

15    that is available to offset a liability, the credit
16    accruing first in time shall be applied first.
17        (2) The term qualified property means property which:
18            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
19        buildings and structural components of buildings;
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        (f);
25            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section

3            (E) has not been previously used in Illinois in
4        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
5        the credit provided by this subsection (f) or
6        subsection (e).
7        (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
8    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
9    income tax purposes.
10        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
11    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed

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

20    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
21    any qualified property is moved outside the Enterprise Zone
22    or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months after
23    being placed in service, the tax imposed under subsections
24    (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable year shall be
25    increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
26    recomputing the investment credit which would have been

 

 

HB4670- 59 -LRB101 17189 HLH 66591 b

1    allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
2    originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
3    computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
4    from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
5    purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the basis of
6    qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
7    purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
8    property to the extent of such reduction.
9        (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
10    to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
11    service during the taxable year in a River Edge
12    Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
13    service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
14    employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over
15    the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's

18    shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
19    employment for the first year in which they file employment
20    records with the Illinois Department of Employment
21    Security. If, in any year, the increase in base employment
22    within Illinois over the preceding year is less than 1%,
23    the additional credit shall be limited to that percentage
24    times a fraction, the numerator of which is 0.5% and the
25    denominator of which is 1%, but shall not exceed 0.5%.

3    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section as provided in
4    Section 13 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act.

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

8allocable to Illinois and the denominator of which is Illinois
9base income, and further multiplying the product by the tax
10rate imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section.

2subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of credit for such tax
3shall also be reduced. Such reduction shall be determined by
4recomputing the credit to take into account the reduced tax
5imposed by subsections (c) and (d). If any portion of the
6reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different
7taxable year, an amended return shall be filed for such taxable
8year to reduce the amount of credit claimed.

5expenditures" means the qualifying expenditures as defined for
6the federal credit for increasing research activities which
7would be allowable under Section 41 of the Internal Revenue
8Code and which are conducted in this State. "Qualifying ,
9"qualifying expenditures for increasing research activities in
10this State" means the excess of qualifying expenditures for the
11taxable year in which incurred over qualifying expenditures for
12the base period. "Qualifying , "qualifying expenditures for the
13base period" means: (1) for taxable years ending prior to
14December 31, 2020, the average of the qualifying expenditures
15for each year in the base period; and (2) for taxable years
16ending on or after December 31, 2020, 50% of the average of the
17qualifying expenditures for each year in the base period. "Base
18, and "base period" means the 3 taxable years immediately
19preceding the taxable year for which the determination is being
20made.
21    Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the taxable
22year may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
23unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over
24as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
25taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever occurs
26first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year ending

 

 

HB4670- 70 -LRB101 17189 HLH 66591 b

1prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any year
2ending on or after December 31, 2003.
3    If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
42 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
5year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
6given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
7remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
8applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
9liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
10credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
11following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
12that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
13than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
14credit is given was incurred.
15    No inference shall be drawn from Public Act 91-644 this
16amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly in construing this
17Section for taxable years beginning before January 1, 1999.
18    It is the intent of the General Assembly that the research

25in reliance on the continuation of the credit under this
26subsection (k) by any taxpayer are hereby validated.

11    this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a sale of
12    all or part of the remediation site for which the credit
13    was granted. The purchaser of a remediation site and the
14    tax credit shall succeed to the unused credit and remaining
15    carry-forward period of the seller. To perfect the
