6reinsurance arrangements), beginning with taxable years ending
7on or after December 31, 1999, the sum of the rates of tax
8imposed by subsections (b) and (d) shall be reduced (but not
9increased) to the rate at which the total amount of tax imposed
10under this Act, net of all credits allowed under this Act,
11shall equal (i) the total amount of tax that would be imposed
12on the foreign insurer's net income allocable to Illinois for
13the taxable year by such foreign insurer's state or country of
14domicile if that net income were subject to all income taxes
15and taxes measured by net income imposed by such foreign

10200SB2531sam002- 11 -LRB102 15312 HLH 25342 a

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

 

 

10200SB2531sam002- 12 -LRB102 15312 HLH 25342 a

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

 

 

10200SB2531sam002- 13 -LRB102 15312 HLH 25342 a

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
24        or fluorite, or in retailing, or was placed in service
25        on or after July 1, 2006 in a River Edge Redevelopment

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

 

 

10200SB2531sam002- 15 -LRB102 15312 HLH 25342 a

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
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 (7), 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        (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,

 

 

10200SB2531sam002- 16 -LRB102 15312 HLH 25342 a

1    the basis of qualified property shall not include costs

6    a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners
7    the credits to which the partnership is entitled under
8    this subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may
9    use the credit allocated to him or her under this
10    paragraph only against the tax imposed in subsections (c)
11    and (d) of this Section. If the partnership makes that
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
17    partners for that taxable year. The partnership shall make
18    this election on its Personal Property Tax Replacement
19    Income Tax return for that taxable year. The election to
20    pass through the credits shall be irrevocable.
21        For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
22    2000, a partner that qualifies its partnership for a
23    subtraction under subparagraph (I) of paragraph (2) of

1    of Section 203 shall be allowed a credit under this
2    subsection (e) equal to its share of the credit earned
3    under this subsection (e) during the taxable year by the
4    partnership or Subchapter S corporation, determined in
5    accordance with the determination of income and
6    distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
7    and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. This
8    paragraph is exempt from the provisions of Section 250.

14    service in an Enterprise Zone created pursuant to the
15    Illinois Enterprise Zone Act or, for property placed in
16    service on or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge
17    Redevelopment Zone established pursuant to the River Edge

20    companies, if the liability company is treated as a
21    partnership for purposes of federal and State income
22    taxation, there shall be allowed a credit under this
23    subsection (f) to be determined in accordance with the
24    determination of income and distributive share of income

10200SB2531sam002- 18 -LRB102 15312 HLH 25342 a

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"
24        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
25        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
26        (f);

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
4        Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer; and
5            (E) has not been previously used in Illinois in
6        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
7        the credit provided by this subsection (f) or
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

 

 

10200SB2531sam002- 20 -LRB102 15312 HLH 25342 a

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

 

 

10200SB2531sam002- 21 -LRB102 15312 HLH 25342 a

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

13    (a) and (b) of this Section for investment in qualified
14    property which is placed in service by a Department of
15    Commerce and Economic Opportunity designated High Impact
16    Business. The credit shall be .5% of the basis for such
17    property. The credit shall not be available (i) until the
18    minimum investments in qualified property set forth in
19    subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois
20    Enterprise Zone Act have been satisfied or (ii) until the

7    5.5 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act shall be available
8    only in the taxable year in which the property is placed in
9    service and shall not be allowed to the extent that it
10    would reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by
11    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. For
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

9of the 5 taxable years following the year for which the credit
10is first computed until it is used. This credit shall be
11applied first to the earliest year for which there is 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.

14    individual and the individual's spouse in the case of a
15    joint return) is from an entity making the election under
16    paragraph (1) and the credit allowed to the partner or
17    shareholder under paragraph (4) equals or exceeds the

23    election under paragraph (1) is liable for the
24    entity-level tax imposed under paragraph (2). If the
25    electing partnership or corporation fails to pay the full
26    amount of tax deemed assessed under paragraph (2), the

6    income of the partnership. If the partnership or

8    (including penalties and interest) and thereafter an
9    amount of such tax is paid by the partners or
10    shareholders, such amount shall not be collected from the
11    partnership or corporation.
12        (7) Foreign tax. For purposes of the credit allowed
13    under Section 601(b)(3) of this Act, tax paid by a
14    partnership or Subchapter S corporation to another state
15    which, as determined by the Department, is substantially
16    similar to the tax imposed under this subsection, shall be
17    considered tax paid by the partner or shareholder to the
18    extent that the partner's or shareholder's share of the
19    income of the partnership or Subchapter S corporation
20    allocated and apportioned to such other state bears to the
21    total income of the partnership or Subchapter S
22    corporation allocated or apportioned to such other state.
23        (8) Suspension of withholding. The provisions of
24    Section 709.5 of this Act shall not apply to a partnership
25    or Subchapter S corporation for the taxable year for which
26    an election under paragraph (1) is in effect.

7reinsurance arrangements), beginning with taxable years ending
8on or after December 31, 1999, the sum of the rates of tax
9imposed by subsections (b) and (d) shall be reduced (but not
10increased) to the rate at which the total amount of tax imposed
11under this Act, net of all credits allowed under this Act,
12shall equal (i) the total amount of tax that would be imposed
13on the foreign insurer's net income allocable to Illinois for
14the taxable year by such foreign insurer's state or country of
15domicile if that net income were subject to all income taxes
16and taxes measured by net income imposed by such foreign

10200SB2531sam002- 54 -LRB102 15312 HLH 25342 a

1        of all credits allowed under this Act, plus

3        the Illinois Insurance Code, the fire insurance
4        company tax imposed by Section 12 of the Fire

12    Section 409 of the Illinois Insurance Code. This paragraph
13    will in no event increase the rates imposed under
14    subsections (b) and (d).

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

 

 

10200SB2531sam002- 56 -LRB102 15312 HLH 25342 a

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

 

 

10200SB2531sam002- 57 -LRB102 15312 HLH 25342 a

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

 

 

10200SB2531sam002- 58 -LRB102 15312 HLH 25342 a

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

 

 

10200SB2531sam002- 59 -LRB102 15312 HLH 25342 a

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

 

 

10200SB2531sam002- 60 -LRB102 15312 HLH 25342 a

1        (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
2    the basis of qualified property shall not include costs
3    incurred after December 31, 2018, except for costs
4    incurred pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or
5    before December 31, 2018.

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

1    under subparagraph (S) of paragraph (2) of subsection (b)
2    of Section 203 shall be allowed a credit under this
3    subsection (e) equal to its share of the credit earned
4    under this subsection (e) during the taxable year by the
5    partnership or Subchapter S corporation, determined in
6    accordance with the determination of income and
7    distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
8    and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. This

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

1    Internal Revenue Code. The credit shall be .5% of the
2    basis for such property. The credit shall be available
3    only in the taxable year in which the property is placed in
4    service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge Redevelopment
5    Zone and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
6    reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by
7    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. For
8    tax years ending on or after December 31, 1985, the credit
9    shall be allowed for the tax year in which the property is
10    placed in service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds
11    the tax liability for that year, whether it exceeds the
12    original liability or the liability as later amended, such
13    excess may be carried forward and applied to the tax
14    liability of the 5 taxable years following the excess
15    credit year. The credit shall be applied to the earliest
16    year for which there is a liability. If there is credit
17    from more than one tax year that is available to offset a
18    liability, the credit accruing first in time shall be
19    applied first.
20        (2) The term qualified property means property which:
21            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
22        buildings and structural components of buildings;
23            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
24        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
25        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
26        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection

 

 

10200SB2531sam002- 63 -LRB102 15312 HLH 25342 a

1        (f);
2            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
3        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
4            (D) is used in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
5        Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer; and
6            (E) has not been previously used in Illinois in
7        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
8        the credit provided by this subsection (f) or
9        subsection (e).
10        (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
11    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
12    income tax purposes.
13        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income
14    tax depreciation purposes is increased after it has been
15    placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
16    Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer, the amount of such
17    increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
18    date of such increase in basis.
19        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
20    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
21        (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
22    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
23    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
24    any qualified property is moved outside the Enterprise
25    Zone or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months
26    after being placed in service, the tax imposed under

 

 

10200SB2531sam002- 64 -LRB102 15312 HLH 25342 a

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

 

 

10200SB2531sam002- 65 -LRB102 15312 HLH 25342 a

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

19    liability of the 5 taxable years following the excess
20    credit year. The credit shall be applied to the earliest

21    Zone or Sub-Zone located in Illinois by the taxpayer, the
22    amount of such increase shall be deemed property placed in
23    service on the date of such increase in basis.
24        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same

4    qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
5    months after being placed in service, the tax imposed
6    under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such

8    determined by (i) recomputing the investment credit which
9    would have been allowed for the year in which credit for
10    such property was originally allowed by eliminating such
11    property from such computation, and (ii) subtracting such
12    recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
13    allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (6), a
14    reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
15    from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be
16    deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
17    of such reduction.

9    The credit or credits may not reduce the taxpayer's
10liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or
11credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may be
12carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's liability
13in succeeding calendar years in the manner provided under
14paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act. The credit or credits
15shall be applied to the earliest year for which there is a tax
16liability. If there are credits from more than one taxable
17year that are available to offset a liability, the earlier
18credit shall be applied first.

14allocable to Illinois and the denominator of which is Illinois
15base income, and further multiplying the product by the tax

11imposed by subsections (c) and (d). If any portion of the
12reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different
13taxable year, an amended return shall be filed for such
14taxable year to reduce the amount of credit claimed.

10of the 5 taxable years following the year for which the credit
11is first computed until it is used. This credit shall be
12applied first to the earliest year for which there is a
13liability. If there is a credit under this subsection from
14more than one tax year that is available to offset a liability,
15the earliest credit arising under this subsection shall be
16applied first. No carryforward credit may be claimed in any

52 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
6year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
7given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
8remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
9applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
10liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
11credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
12following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
13that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
14than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the

9    arising under this subsection shall be applied first. A
10    credit allowed under this subsection may be sold to a
11    buyer as part of a sale of all or part of the remediation
12    site for which the credit was granted. The purchaser of a
13    remediation site and the tax credit shall succeed to the
14    unused credit and remaining carry-forward period of the
15    seller. To perfect the transfer, the assignor shall record
16    the transfer in the chain of title for the site and provide
17    written notice to the Director of the Illinois Department
18    of Revenue of the assignor's intent to sell the
19    remediation site and the amount of the tax credit to be

12    under this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a
13    sale of all or part of the remediation site for which the
14    credit was granted. The purchaser of a remediation site
15    and the tax credit shall succeed to the unused credit and
16    remaining carry-forward period of the seller. To perfect
17    the transfer, the assignor shall record the transfer in
18    the chain of title for the site and provide written notice
19    to the Director of the Illinois Department of Revenue of
20    the assignor's intent to sell the remediation site and the
21    amount of the tax credit to be transferred as a portion of
22    the sale. In no event may a credit be transferred to any
23    taxpayer if the taxpayer or a related party would not be
24    eligible under the provisions of subsection (i).
25        (iii) For purposes of this Section, the term "site"
26    shall have the same meaning as under Section 58.2 of the

20            (B) cancellation, revocation, or termination of
21        any registration by the Illinois Department of Public
22        Health;

21        (1) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
22    2021 and beginning prior to January 1, 2026, a partnership
23    (other than a publicly traded partnership under Section

25    corporation may elect to apply the provisions of this
26    subsection. A separate election shall be made for each

 

 

10200SB2531sam002- 85 -LRB102 15312 HLH 25342 a

1    taxable year. Such election shall be made at such time,
2    and in such form and manner as prescribed by the
3    Department, and, once made, is irrevocable.
4        (2) Entity-level tax. A partnership or Subchapter S
5    corporation electing to apply the provisions of this
6    subsection shall be subject to a tax for the privilege of
7    earning or receiving income in this State in an amount
8    equal to 4.95% of the taxpayer's net income for the
9    taxable year.
10        (3) Net income defined.
11            (A) In general. For purposes of paragraph (2), the
12        term net income has the same meaning as defined in
13        Section 202 of this Act, except that the following
14        provisions shall not apply:
15                (i) the standard exemption allowed under
16            Section 204;
17                (ii) the deduction for net losses allowed
18            under Section 207;
19                (iii) in the case of an S corporation, the

10200SB2531sam002- 86 -LRB102 15312 HLH 25342 a

1        paragraph (1), net income shall be computed as
2        provided in subparagraph (A), except that the taxpayer
3        shall subtract its distributive share of the net
4        income of the electing partnership (including its
5        distributive share of the net income of the electing
6        partnership derived as a distributive share from
7        electing partnerships in which it is a partner).
8        (4) Credit for entity level tax. Each partner or
9    shareholder of a taxpayer making the election under this
10    section shall be allowed a credit against the tax imposed
11    under subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of this Act
12    for the taxable year of the partnership or Subchapter S
13    corporation for which an election is in effect ending
14    within or with the taxable year of the partner or
15    shareholder in an amount equal to 4.95% times the partner
16    or shareholder's distributive share of the net income of
17    the electing partnership or Subchapter S corporation, but
18    not to exceed the partner's or shareholder's share of the
19    tax imposed under paragraph (1) which is actually paid by
20    the partnership or Subchapter S corporation. If the
21    taxpayer is a partnership or Subchapter S corporation that
22    is itself a partner of a partnership making the election
23    under paragraph (1), the credit under this paragraph shall
24    be allowed to the taxpayer's partners or shareholders (or
25    if the partner is a partnership or Subchapter S
26    corporation then its partners or shareholders) in

 

 

10200SB2531sam002- 87 -LRB102 15312 HLH 25342 a

1    accordance with the determination of income and
2    distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
3    and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. If the
4    amount of the credit allowed under this paragraph exceeds
5    the partner's or shareholder's liability for tax imposed
6    under subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of this Act
7    for the taxable year, such excess shall be treated as an
8    overpayment for purposes of Section 909 of this Act.
9        (5) Nonresidents. A nonresident individual who is a
10    partner or shareholder of a partnership or Subchapter S
11    corporation for a taxable year for which an election is in
12    effect under paragraph (1) shall not be required to file
13    an income tax return under this Act for such taxable year
14    if the only source of net income of the individual (or the
15    individual and the individual's spouse in the case of a
16    joint return) is from an entity making the election under
17    paragraph (1) and the credit allowed to the partner or
18    shareholder under paragraph (4) equals or exceeds the
19    individual's liability for the tax imposed under
20    subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of this Act for the
21    taxable year.
22        (6) Liability for tax. Except as provided in this
23    paragraph, a partnership or Subchapter S making the
24    election under paragraph (1) is liable for the
25    entity-level tax imposed under paragraph (2). If the
26    electing partnership or corporation fails to pay the full

 

 

10200SB2531sam002- 88 -LRB102 15312 HLH 25342 a

1    amount of tax deemed assessed under paragraph (2), the
2    partners or shareholders shall be liable to pay the tax
3    assessed (including penalties and interest). Each partner
4    or shareholder shall be liable for the unpaid assessment
5    based on the ratio of the partner's or shareholder's share
6    of the net income of the partnership over the total net
7    income of the partnership. If the partnership or
8    Subchapter S corporation fails to pay the tax assessed
9    (including penalties and interest) and thereafter an
10    amount of such tax is paid by the partners or
11    shareholders, such amount shall not be collected from the
12    partnership or corporation.
13        (7) Foreign tax. For purposes of the credit allowed
14    under Section 601(b)(3) of this Act, tax paid by a
15    partnership or Subchapter S corporation to another state
16    which, as determined by the Department, is substantially
17    similar to the tax imposed under this subsection, shall be
18    considered tax paid by the partner or shareholder to the
19    extent that the partner's or shareholder's share of the
20    income of the partnership or Subchapter S corporation
21    allocated and apportioned to such other state bears to the
22    total income of the partnership or Subchapter S
23    corporation allocated or apportioned to such other state.
24        (8) Suspension of withholding. The provisions of
25    Section 709.5 of this Act shall not apply to a partnership
26    or Subchapter S corporation for the taxable year for which

 

 

10200SB2531sam002- 89 -LRB102 15312 HLH 25342 a

1    an election under paragraph (1) is in effect.
2        (9) Requirement to pay estimated tax. For each taxable
3    year for which an election under paragraph (1) is in
4    effect, a partnership or Subchapter S corporation is
5    required to pay estimated tax for such taxable year under
6    Sections 803 and 804 of this Act if the amount payable as
7    estimated tax can reasonably be expected to exceed $500.
