SB2047- 9 -LRB103 00133 HLH 45137 b

1under this Act, net of all credits allowed under this Act,
2shall equal (i) the total amount of tax that would be imposed

SB2047- 10 -LRB103 00133 HLH 45137 b

1    the taxable year, as described by subsection (1) of
2    Section 409 of the Illinois Insurance Code. This paragraph
3    will in no event increase the rates imposed under
4    subsections (b) and (d).
5        (2) Any reduction in the rates of tax imposed by this
6    subsection shall be applied first against the rates
7    imposed by subsection (b) and only after the tax imposed
8    by subsection (a) net of all credits allowed under this

10    has been reduced to zero, against the rates imposed by
11    subsection (d).
12    This subsection (d-1) is exempt from the provisions of
13Section 250.
14    (e) Investment credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a
15credit against the Personal Property Tax Replacement Income
16Tax for investment in qualified property.
17        (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to .5%
18    of the basis of qualified property placed in service
19    during the taxable year, provided such property is placed
20    in service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed
21    an additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of
22    qualified property placed in service during the taxable
23    year, provided such property is placed in service on or
24    after July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment
25    within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the
26    preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's employment

 

 

SB2047- 11 -LRB103 00133 HLH 45137 b

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

 

 

SB2047- 12 -LRB103 00133 HLH 45137 b

1    which cause the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time
2    equivalent jobs in Illinois, (ii) is located in an
3    enterprise zone established pursuant to the Illinois
4    Enterprise Zone Act and (iii) is certified by the
5    Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
6    Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) as
7    complying with the requirements specified in clause (i)
8    and (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and
9    Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic
10    Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all
11    such certifications immediately. For tax years ending
12    after December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for
13    the tax year in which the property is placed in service,
14    or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
15    for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability
16    or the liability as later amended, such excess may be
17    carried forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5
18    taxable years following the excess credit years. The
19    credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
20    there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
21    tax year that is available to offset a liability, earlier
22    credit shall be applied first.
23        (2) The term "qualified property" means property
24    which:
25            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
26        buildings and structural components of buildings and

 

 

SB2047- 13 -LRB103 00133 HLH 45137 b

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

 

 

SB2047- 14 -LRB103 00133 HLH 45137 b

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

 

 

SB2047- 15 -LRB103 00133 HLH 45137 b

1    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
2    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
3    any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
4    months after being placed in service, the Personal
5    Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year
6    shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined by
7    (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
8    been allowed for the year in which credit for such
9    property was originally allowed by eliminating such
10    property from such computation and, (ii) subtracting such
11    recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
12    allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (7), a
13    reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
14    from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be
15    deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
16    of such reduction.
17        (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
18    the basis of qualified property shall not include costs
19    incurred after December 31, 2018, except for costs
20    incurred pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or
21    before December 31, 2018.
22        (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000,
23    a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners
24    the credits to which the partnership is entitled under
25    this subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may
26    use the credit allocated to him or her under this

 

 

SB2047- 16 -LRB103 00133 HLH 45137 b

1    paragraph only against the tax imposed in subsections (c)
2    and (d) of this Section. If the partnership makes that
3    election, those credits shall be allocated among the
4    partners in the partnership in accordance with the rules
5    set forth in Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code,

1    taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by subsections
2    (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. For tax years
3    ending on or after December 31, 1985, the credit shall be
4    allowed for the tax year in which the property is placed in

6    liability for that year, whether it exceeds the original
7    liability or the liability as later amended, such excess
8    may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of
9    the 5 taxable years following the excess credit year. The
10    credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
11    there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
12    tax year that is available to offset a liability, the
13    credit accruing first in time shall be applied first.
14        (2) The term qualified property means property which:
15            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
16        buildings and structural components of buildings;
17            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the

21        (f);
22            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section

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

 

 

SB2047- 20 -LRB103 00133 HLH 45137 b

1    recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
2    allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (6), a
3    reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
4    from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be
5    deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
6    of such reduction.
7        (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
8    to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
9    service during the taxable year in a River Edge
10    Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
11    service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
12    employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more
13    over the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
14    employment records filed with the Illinois Department of
15    Employment Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois
16    shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
17    employment for the first year in which they file
18    employment records with the Illinois Department of
19    Employment Security. If, in any year, the increase in base
20    employment within Illinois over the preceding year is less
21    than 1%, the additional credit shall be limited to that
22    percentage times a fraction, the numerator of which is
23    0.5% and the denominator of which is 1%, but shall not
24    exceed 0.5%.
25        (8) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1,

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

20    be allowed a credit under this Section to be determined in
21    accordance with the determination of income and
22    distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
23    and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. For taxable

6    5.5 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act shall be available

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

8    such property was originally allowed by eliminating such
9    property from such computation, and (ii) subtracting such

9taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever
10occurs first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year
11ending prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any
12year ending on or after December 31, 2003.
13    If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
142 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
15year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
16given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
17remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
18applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
19liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused

4    taxable year.
5        (6) Liability for tax. Except as provided in this
6    paragraph, a partnership or Subchapter S making the
7    election under paragraph (1) is liable for the
8    entity-level tax imposed under paragraph (2). If the
9    electing partnership or corporation fails to pay the full
10    amount of tax deemed assessed under paragraph (2), the

24    partnership or Subchapter S corporation to another state
25    which, as determined by the Department, is substantially
26    similar to the tax imposed under this subsection, shall be

2    extent that the partner's or shareholder's share of the
3    income of the partnership or Subchapter S corporation
4    allocated and apportioned to such other state bears to the
5    total income of the partnership or Subchapter S
6    corporation allocated or apportioned to such other state.
7        (8) Suspension of withholding. The provisions of
8    Section 709.5 of this Act shall not apply to a partnership
9    or Subchapter S corporation for the taxable year for which
10    an election under paragraph (1) is in effect.
11        (9) Requirement to pay estimated tax. For each taxable
12    year for which an election under paragraph (1) is in
13    effect, a partnership or Subchapter S corporation is
14    required to pay estimated tax for such taxable year under
15    Sections 803 and 804 of this Act if the amount payable as
16    estimated tax can reasonably be expected to exceed $500.
