Section 5. The Illinois Income Tax Act is amended by adding Section 232 as follows:

(35 ILCS 5/232 new)

Sec. 232. Manufacturing capital expenditure credit. For taxable years that begin on or after January 1, 2021 and begin prior to January 1, 2031, each taxpayer that is engaged in the business of manufacturing (North American Industry Classification System code 31-33) is entitled to a credit against the taxes imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 in an amount equal to 10% of the capital expenditures incurred by the taxpayer during the taxable year that are related to manufacturing. The total amount of credits awarded under this Section may not exceed $10,000,000 for any particular taxpayer in any taxable year, except that, if the capital investment is made in a rural or economically challenged area, as determined by the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, then the amount of the credit shall be 15% of the capital expenditure, and the maximum amount of the credit shall be $20,000,000. A taxpayer may not claim a credit under this Section if the taxpayer claims a credit against the taxes imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 for the same capital expenditure under any other provision of law.

In no event shall a credit under this Section reduce the taxpayer's liability under this Act to less than zero. The credit may not be carried forward or back.
