and except as the |
| 15 | | credit may be applied in a carryover year pursuant to Section
|
| 16 | | 211(4) of the Illinois Income Tax Act, the credit may be |
| 17 | | applied against the
State income tax liability in more than 10 |
| 18 | | taxable years but not in more than

| 19 | | eligible business
that (i) qualifies under this Act
and the |
| 20 | | Corporate Headquarters Relocation Act and has in fact |

|
| 4 | | (c) Notwithstanding subsection (a) or (b), a recipient of |
| 5 | | a credit may request a certificate of transferability of |
| 6 | | credit from the Department for the amount of credit not |

| 8 | | may be transferred or sold by the recipient to another |
| 9 | | Illinois taxpayer. Transferors and sellers shall submit to the |
| 10 | | Department of Revenue a notification of any transfer or sale |
| 11 | | of tax credits within 30 days after the transfer or sale of |
| 12 | | those tax credits. The notification, which shall be in the |
| 13 | | form prescribed by the Department, shall include the |

| 18 | | and transferee, the date of transfer, the amount transferred, |
| 19 | | a copy of the credit certificate, and any other information |
| 20 | | required by the Department of Revenue. The transfer or sale of |
| 21 | | the credit does not extend the time in which the credit can be |
| 22 | | used. The carry forward period for a credit that is |
| 23 | | transferred or sold begins on the date on which the credit was |
| 24 | | originally granted by the Department. To the extent the |
| 25 | | transferor did not have rights to claim or use the credit at |
| 26 | | the time of the transfer or sale, the Department of Revenue |
