3corporation and except as adjusted by subsection (d-1), shall
4be an additional amount equal to 2.85% of such taxpayer's net
5income for the taxable year, except that beginning on January

8partnership, trust or a Subchapter S corporation shall be an
9additional amount equal to 1.5% of such taxpayer's net income
10for the taxable year.
11    (d-1) Rate reduction for certain foreign insurers. In the
12case of a foreign insurer, as defined by Section 35A-5 of the
13Illinois Insurance Code, whose state or country of domicile

15(excluding any insurer whose premiums from reinsurance assumed
16are 50% or more of its total insurance premiums as determined
17under paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 304, except
18that for purposes of this determination premiums from
19reinsurance do not include premiums from inter-affiliate
20reinsurance arrangements), beginning with taxable years ending
21on or after December 31, 1999, the sum of the rates of tax
22imposed by subsections (b) and (d) shall be reduced (but not
23increased) to the rate at which the total amount of tax imposed
24under this Act, net of all credits allowed under this Act,
25shall equal (i) the total amount of tax that would be imposed
26on the foreign insurer's net income allocable to Illinois for

 

 

HB2913- 18 -LRB102 10667 HLH 15996 b

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

23    December 31, 2003, of the net taxable premiums written for
24    the taxable year, as described by subsection (1) of
25    Section 409 of the Illinois Insurance Code. This paragraph
26    will in no event increase the rates imposed under

 

 

HB2913- 19 -LRB102 10667 HLH 15996 b

1    subsections (b) and (d).
2        (2) Any reduction in the rates of tax imposed by this
3    subsection shall be applied first against the rates
4    imposed by subsection (b) and only after the tax imposed
5    by subsection (a) net of all credits allowed under this
6    Section other than the credit allowed under subsection (i)
7    has been reduced to zero, against the rates imposed by
8    subsection (d).
9    This subsection (d-1) is exempt from the provisions of
10Section 250.
11    (e) Investment credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a
12credit against the Personal Property Tax Replacement Income
13Tax for investment in qualified property.
14        (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to .5%
15    of the basis of qualified property placed in service
16    during the taxable year, provided such property is placed
17    in service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed
18    an additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of
19    qualified property placed in service during the taxable
20    year, provided such property is placed in service on or
21    after July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment
22    within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the
23    preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's employment
24    records filed with the Illinois Department of Employment
25    Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be
26    deemed to have met the 1% growth in base employment for the

 

 

HB2913- 20 -LRB102 10667 HLH 15996 b

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

 

 

HB2913- 21 -LRB102 10667 HLH 15996 b

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

 

 

HB2913- 22 -LRB102 10667 HLH 15996 b

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

 

 

HB2913- 23 -LRB102 10667 HLH 15996 b

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

 

 

HB2913- 24 -LRB102 10667 HLH 15996 b

1    months after being placed in service, the Personal
2    Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year
3    shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined by
4    (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
5    been allowed for the year in which credit for such
6    property was originally allowed by eliminating such
7    property from such computation and, (ii) subtracting such
8    recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
9    allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (7), a
10    reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
11    from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be
12    deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
13    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
17    incurred pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or
18    before December 31, 2018.
19        (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000,
20    a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners
21    the credits to which the partnership is entitled under
22    this subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may
23    use the credit allocated to him or her under this
24    paragraph only against the tax imposed in subsections (c)
25    and (d) of this Section. If the partnership makes that
26    election, those credits shall be allocated among the

 

 

HB2913- 25 -LRB102 10667 HLH 15996 b

1    partners in the partnership in accordance with the rules
2    set forth in Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code,
3    and the rules promulgated under that Section, and the
4    allocated amount of the credits shall be allowed to the
5    partners for that taxable year. The partnership shall make
6    this election on its Personal Property Tax Replacement
7    Income Tax return for that taxable year. The election to
8    pass through the credits shall be irrevocable.
9        For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
10    2000, a partner that qualifies its partnership for a
11    subtraction under subparagraph (I) of paragraph (2) of
12    subsection (d) of Section 203 or a shareholder that
13    qualifies a Subchapter S corporation for a subtraction
14    under subparagraph (S) of paragraph (2) of subsection (b)
15    of Section 203 shall be allowed a credit under this
16    subsection (e) equal to its share of the credit earned
17    under this subsection (e) during the taxable year by the
18    partnership or Subchapter S corporation, determined in
19    accordance with the determination of income and
20    distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
21    and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. This
22    paragraph is exempt from the provisions of Section 250.
23    (f) Investment credit; Enterprise Zone; River Edge
24Redevelopment Zone.
25        (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the
26    tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for

2    service in an Enterprise Zone created pursuant to the
3    Illinois Enterprise Zone Act or, for property placed in
4    service on or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge
5    Redevelopment Zone established pursuant to the River Edge
6    Redevelopment Zone Act. For partners, shareholders of
7    Subchapter S corporations, and owners of limited liability
8    companies, if the liability company is treated as a
9    partnership for purposes of federal and State income
10    taxation, there shall be allowed a credit under this
11    subsection (f) to be determined in accordance with the
12    determination of income and distributive share of income
13    under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the
14    Internal Revenue Code. The credit shall be .5% of the
15    basis for such property. The credit shall be available
16    only in the taxable year in which the property is placed in
17    service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge Redevelopment
18    Zone and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
19    reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by
20    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. For
21    tax years ending on or after December 31, 1985, the credit
22    shall be allowed for the tax year in which the property is
23    placed in service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds
24    the tax liability for that year, whether it exceeds the
25    original liability or the liability as later amended, such
26    excess may be carried forward and applied to the tax

 

 

HB2913- 27 -LRB102 10667 HLH 15996 b

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

18        Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer; and
19            (E) has not been previously used in Illinois in
20        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
21        the credit provided by this subsection (f) or
22        subsection (e).
23        (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
24    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
25    income tax purposes.
26        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income

 

 

HB2913- 28 -LRB102 10667 HLH 15996 b

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

 

 

HB2913- 29 -LRB102 10667 HLH 15996 b

1    to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
2    service during the taxable year in a River Edge

4    service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
5    employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more
6    over the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
7    employment records filed with the Illinois Department of
8    Employment Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois
9    shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
10    employment for the first year in which they file
11    employment records with the Illinois Department of
12    Employment Security. If, in any year, the increase in base
13    employment within Illinois over the preceding year is less
14    than 1%, the additional credit shall be limited to that
15    percentage times a fraction, the numerator of which is
16    0.5% and the denominator of which is 1%, but shall not
17    exceed 0.5%.
18        (8) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1,
19    2021, there shall be allowed an Enterprise Zone
20    construction jobs credit against the taxes imposed under
21    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section as provided in
22    Section 13 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act.
23        The credit or credits may not reduce the taxpayer's
24    liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or
25    credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may
26    be carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's

 

 

HB2913- 30 -LRB102 10667 HLH 15996 b

1    liability in succeeding calendar years in the same manner
2    provided under paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act.
3    The credit or credits shall be applied to the earliest
4    year for which there is a tax liability. If there are
5    credits from more than one taxable year that are available
6    to offset a liability, the earlier credit shall be applied
7    first.
8        For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
9    corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
10    if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
11    the purposes of federal and State income taxation, there
12    shall be allowed a credit under this Section to be

14    and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and

13    Act, and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
14    reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by
15    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. The

19    the minimum investment by a designated high impact
20    business authorized under subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section
21    5.5 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act shall be available
22    only in the taxable year in which the property is placed in

6    liability of the 5 taxable years following the excess
7    credit year. The credit shall be applied to the earliest
8    year for which there is a liability. If there is credit
9    from more than one tax year that is available to offset a
10    liability, the credit accruing first in time shall be
11    applied first.

23of the 5 taxable years following the year for which the credit
24is first computed until it is used. This credit shall be
25applied first to the earliest year for which there is a
26liability. If there is a credit under this subsection from

 

 

HB2913- 38 -LRB102 10667 HLH 15996 b

1more than one tax year that is available to offset a liability,
2the earliest credit arising under this subsection shall be

14occurs first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year
15ending prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any
16year ending on or after December 31, 2003.
17    If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
182 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
19year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
20given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
21remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
22applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
23liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
24credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
25following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except

14        (2) Any reduction in the rates of tax imposed by this
15    subsection shall be applied first against the rates
16    imposed by subsection (b) and only after the tax imposed

HB2913- 61 -LRB102 10667 HLH 15996 b

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

 

 

HB2913- 62 -LRB102 10667 HLH 15996 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)
17    and (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
25    or the liability as later amended, such excess may be
26    carried forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5

 

 

HB2913- 63 -LRB102 10667 HLH 15996 b

1    taxable years following the excess credit years. 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, earlier
5    credit 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
11        or improvements to real property that are not a
12        structural component of a building such as
13        landscaping, sewer lines, local access roads, fencing,
14        parking lots, and 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

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
12    of this subsection (e) the term "mining" shall have the
13    same meaning as the term "mining" in Section 613(c) of the
14    Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this subsection
15    (e), the term "retailing" means the sale of tangible
16    personal property for use or consumption and not for
17    resale, or services rendered in conjunction with the sale
18    of tangible personal property for use or consumption and
19    not for resale. For purposes of this subsection (e),
20    "tangible personal property" has the same meaning as when
21    that term is used in the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
22    and, for taxable years ending after December 31, 2008,
23    does not include the generation, transmission, or
24    distribution of electricity.
25        (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
26    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal

 

 

HB2913- 65 -LRB102 10667 HLH 15996 b

1    income tax purposes.
2        (5) If the basis of the property for federal income
3    tax depreciation purposes is increased after it has been
4    placed in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount
5    of such increase shall be deemed property placed in
6    service on the 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
14    Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year
15    shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined by
16    (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
17    been allowed for the year in which credit for such
18    property was originally allowed by eliminating such

12    election, those credits shall be allocated among the
13    partners in the partnership in accordance with the rules
14    set forth in Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code,
15    and the rules promulgated under that Section, and the
16    allocated amount of the credits shall be allowed to the

HB2913- 67 -LRB102 10667 HLH 15996 b

1    of Section 203 shall be allowed a credit under this
2    subsection (e) equal to its share of the credit earned

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

25        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
26        (f);

 

 

HB2913- 69 -LRB102 10667 HLH 15996 b

1            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
2        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
3            (D) is used in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge

8        subsection (e).
9        (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
10    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
11    income tax purposes.
12        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income
13    tax depreciation purposes is increased after it has been
14    placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
15    Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer, the amount of such
16    increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
17    date of such increase in basis.
18        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
19    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
20        (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
21    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
22    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
23    any qualified property is moved outside the Enterprise
24    Zone or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months
25    after being placed in service, the tax imposed under
26    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable

 

 

HB2913- 70 -LRB102 10667 HLH 15996 b

1    year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
2    by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
3    been allowed for the year in which credit for such
4    property was originally allowed by eliminating such
5    property from such computation, and (ii) subtracting such
6    recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
7    allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (6), a
8    reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
9    from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be
10    deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
11    of such reduction.
12        (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
13    to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
14    service during the taxable year in a River Edge
15    Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
16    service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
17    employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more
18    over the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
19    employment records filed with the Illinois Department of
20    Employment Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois
21    shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
22    employment for the first year in which they file
23    employment records with the Illinois Department of
24    Employment Security. If, in any year, the increase in base
25    employment within Illinois over the preceding year is less
26    than 1%, the additional credit shall be limited to that

 

 

HB2913- 71 -LRB102 10667 HLH 15996 b

1    percentage times a fraction, the numerator of which is
2    0.5% and the denominator of which is 1%, but shall not
3    exceed 0.5%.
4        (8) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1,
5    2021, there shall be allowed an Enterprise Zone
6    construction jobs credit against the taxes imposed under
7    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section as provided in
8    Section 13 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act.
9        The credit or credits may not reduce the taxpayer's
10    liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or
11    credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may
12    be carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's
13    liability in succeeding calendar years in the same manner
14    provided under paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act.
15    The credit or credits shall be applied to the earliest
16    year for which there is a tax liability. If there are
17    credits from more than one taxable year that are available
18    to offset a liability, the earlier credit shall be applied
19    first.
20        For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
21    corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
22    if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
23    the purposes of federal and State income taxation, there
24    shall be allowed a credit under this Section to be
25    determined in accordance with the determination of income

12    tax years ending on or after December 31, 1987, the credit
13    shall be allowed for the tax year in which the property is
14    placed in service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds
15    the tax liability for that year, whether it exceeds the
16    original liability or the liability as later amended, such
17    excess may be carried forward and applied to the tax
18    liability of the 5 taxable years following the excess
19    credit year. The credit shall be applied to the earliest
20    year for which there is a liability. If there is credit
21    from more than one tax year that is available to offset a

12liability. If there is a credit under this subsection from
13more than one tax year that is available to offset a liability,

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.

5means the consideration received by the lessor pursuant to the
6lease contract, including amounts due at lease signing and all
7monthly or other regular payments charged over the term of the
8lease. Also included in the selling price is any amount
9received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle
10that is not calculated at the time the lease is executed,

26such tax if the retailer had accounted for the tax to the

 

 

HB2913- 99 -LRB102 10667 HLH 15996 b

1Department. For amounts received by the lessor from the lessee
2that are not calculated at the time the lease is executed, the
3lessor must file the return and pay the tax to the Department
4by the due date otherwise required by this Act for returns
5other than transaction returns. If the retailer is entitled
6under this Act to a discount for collecting and remitting the
7tax imposed under this Act to the Department with respect to
8the sale of the motor vehicle to the lessor, then the right to
9the discount provided in this Act shall be transferred to the
10lessor with respect to the tax paid by the lessor for any
11amount received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased
12vehicle that is not calculated at the time the lease is
13executed; provided that the discount is only allowed if the
14return is timely filed and for amounts timely paid. The
15"selling price" of a motor vehicle that is sold on or after
16January 1, 2015 for the purpose of leasing for a defined period
17of longer than one year shall not be reduced by the value of or
18credit given for traded-in tangible personal property owned by
19the lessor, nor shall it be reduced by the value of or credit
20given for traded-in tangible personal property owned by the
21lessee, regardless of whether the trade-in value thereof is
22assigned by the lessee to the lessor. In the case of a motor
23vehicle that is sold for the purpose of leasing for a defined

18amount so separately charged, but not less than the cost of
19such property to the transferor; if no separate charge is
20made, the value of such property, for the purposes of this Act,
21is the cost to the transferor of such tangible personal
22property.

5converted to provide living quarters for recreational,
6camping, or travel use, with direct walk through access to the
7living quarters from the driver's seat; (B) is of the van

12means the consideration received by the lessor pursuant to the
13lease contract, including amounts due at lease signing and all
14monthly or other regular payments charged over the term of the
15lease. Also included in the selling price is any amount
16received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle
17that is not calculated at the time the lease is executed,
18including, but not limited to, excess mileage charges and
19charges for excess wear and tear. For sales that occur in
20Illinois, with respect to any amount received by the lessor
21from the lessee for the leased vehicle that is not calculated
22at the time the lease is executed, the lessor who purchased the
23motor vehicle does not incur the tax imposed by the Use Tax Act
24on those amounts, and the retailer who makes the retail sale of
25the motor vehicle to the lessor is not required to collect the
26tax imposed by the Use Tax Act or to pay the tax imposed by

 

 

HB2913- 197 -LRB102 10667 HLH 15996 b

1this Act on those amounts. However, the lessor who purchased
2the motor vehicle assumes the liability for reporting and
3paying the tax on those amounts directly to the Department in
4the same form (Illinois Retailers' Occupation Tax, and local
5retailers' occupation taxes, if applicable) in which the
6retailer would have reported and paid such tax if the retailer
7had accounted for the tax to the Department. For amounts
8received by the lessor from the lessee that are not calculated
9at the time the lease is executed, the lessor must file the
10return and pay the tax to the Department by the due date
11otherwise required by this Act for returns other than
12transaction returns. If the retailer is entitled under this
13Act to a discount for collecting and remitting the tax imposed
14under this Act to the Department with respect to the sale of
15the motor vehicle to the lessor, then the right to the discount
16provided in this Act shall be transferred to the lessor with
17respect to the tax paid by the lessor for any amount received
18by the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle that is
19not calculated at the time the lease is executed; provided
20that the discount is only allowed if the return is timely filed
21and for amounts timely paid. The "selling price" of a motor
22vehicle that is sold on or after January 1, 2015 for the
23purpose of leasing for a defined period of longer than one year
24shall not be reduced by the value of or credit given for
25traded-in tangible personal property owned by the lessor, nor
26shall it be reduced by the value of or credit given for

 

 

HB2913- 198 -LRB102 10667 HLH 15996 b

1traded-in tangible personal property owned by the lessee,
2regardless of whether the trade-in value thereof is assigned
3by the lessee to the lessor. In the case of a motor vehicle
4that is sold for the purpose of leasing for a defined period of
5longer than one year, the sale occurs at the time of the
6delivery of the vehicle, regardless of the due date of any
7lease payments. A lessor who incurs a Retailers' Occupation
8Tax liability on the sale of a motor vehicle coming off lease
9may not take a credit against that liability for the Use Tax
10the lessor paid upon the purchase of the motor vehicle (or for
11any tax the lessor paid with respect to any amount received by
12the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle that was not
13calculated at the time the lease was executed) if the selling
14price of the motor vehicle at the time of purchase was
15calculated using the definition of "selling price" as defined
16in this paragraph. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
17Act to the contrary, lessors shall file all returns and make
18all payments required under this paragraph to the Department
19by electronic means in the manner and form as required by the
20Department. This paragraph does not apply to leases of motor
21vehicles for which, at the time the lease is entered into, the
22term of the lease is not a defined period, including leases
23with a defined initial period with the option to continue the
24lease on a month-to-month or other basis beyond the initial
25defined period.

4agricultural implement), while not including a kind of item
5which, if sold at retail by that retailer, would be exempt from
6retailers' occupation tax and use tax as an isolated or
7occasional sale.
8    "Gross receipts" from the sales of tangible personal
9property at retail means the total selling price or the amount
10of such sales, as hereinbefore defined. In the case of charge
11and time sales, the amount thereof shall be included only as
12and when payments are received by the seller. Receipts or
13other consideration derived by a seller from the sale,
14transfer or assignment of accounts receivable to a wholly
15owned subsidiary will not be deemed payments prior to the time
16the purchaser makes payment on such accounts.
