19 (excluding any insurer whose premiums from reinsurance assumed

21 under paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 304, except
22 that for purposes of this determination premiums from
23 reinsurance do not include premiums from inter-affiliate
24 reinsurance arrangements), beginning with taxable years ending
25 on or after December 31, 1999, the sum of the rates of tax
26 imposed by subsections (b) and (d) shall be reduced (but not

 

 

SB1681 - 7 - LRB096 10729 HLH 20913 b

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

24     equals 1.25% for taxable years ending prior to December 31,
25     2003, or 1.75% for taxable years ending on or after
26     December 31, 2003, of the net taxable premiums written for

 

 

SB1681 - 8 - LRB096 10729 HLH 20913 b

1     the taxable year, as described by subsection (1) of Section
2     409 of the Illinois Insurance Code. This paragraph will in
3     no event increase the rates imposed under subsections (b)
4     and (d).
5         (2) Any reduction in the rates of tax imposed by this
6     subsection shall be applied first against the rates imposed
7     by subsection (b) and only after the tax imposed by
8     subsection (a) net of all credits allowed under this
9     Section other than the credit allowed under subsection (i)
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
13 Section 250.
14     (e) Investment credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit
15 against the Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for
16 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 during
19     the taxable year, provided such property is placed in
20     service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed an
21     additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of qualified
22     property placed in service during the taxable year,
23     provided such property is placed in service on or after
24     July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment within
25     Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the preceding
26     year as determined by the taxpayer's employment records

 

 

SB1681 - 9 - LRB096 10729 HLH 20913 b

1     filed with the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
2     Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be deemed to have
3     met the 1% growth in base employment for the first year in
4     which they file employment records with the Illinois
5     Department of Employment Security. The provisions added to
6     this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored by Public
7     Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of existing
8     law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year, the
9     increase in base employment within Illinois over the
10     preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit shall
11     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

 

 

SB1681 - 10 - LRB096 10729 HLH 20913 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) and
8     (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 or
16     the liability as later amended, such excess may be carried
17     forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable
18     years following the excess credit years. The credit shall
19     be applied to the earliest year for which there is a
20     liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
21     that is available to offset a liability, earlier credit
22     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

 

 

SB1681 - 11 - LRB096 10729 HLH 20913 b

1         signs that are real property, but not including land or
2         improvements to real property that are not a structural
3         component of a building such as landscaping, sewer
4         lines, local access roads, fencing, parking lots, and
5         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

 

 

SB1681 - 12 - LRB096 10729 HLH 20913 b

1     assembling which changes some existing material into new
2     shapes, new qualities, or new combinations. For purposes of
3     this subsection (e) the term "mining" shall have the same
4     meaning as the term "mining" in Section 613(c) of the
5     Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this subsection (e),
6     the term "retailing" means the sale of tangible personal
7     property or services rendered in conjunction with the sale
8     of tangible consumer goods or commodities.
9         (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
10     used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
11     income tax purposes.
12         (5) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
13     depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
14     in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of such
15     increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
16     date of such increase in basis.
17         (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
18     meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
19         (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
20     be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
21     48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
22     any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
23     months after being placed in service, the Personal Property
24     Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year shall be
25     increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
26     recomputing the investment credit which would have been

 

 

SB1681 - 13 - LRB096 10729 HLH 20913 b

1     allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
2     originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
3     computation and, (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
4     from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
5     purposes of this paragraph (7), a reduction of the basis of
6     qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
7     purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
8     property to the extent of such reduction.
9         (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
10     the basis of qualified property shall not include costs
11     incurred after December 31, 2008, except for costs incurred
12     pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or before
13     December 31, 2008.
14         (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000,
15     a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners the
16     credits to which the partnership is entitled under this
17     subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may use the
18     credit allocated to him or her under this paragraph only
19     against the tax imposed in subsections (c) and (d) of this
20     Section. If the partnership makes that election, those
21     credits shall be allocated among the partners in the
22     partnership in accordance with the rules set forth in
23     Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the rules
24     promulgated under that Section, and the allocated amount of
25     the credits shall be allowed to the partners for that
26     taxable year. The partnership shall make this election on

 

 

SB1681 - 14 - LRB096 10729 HLH 20913 b

2     that taxable year. The election to pass through the credits
3     shall be irrevocable.
4         For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2000,
5     a partner that qualifies its partnership for a subtraction
6     under subparagraph (I) of paragraph (2) of subsection (d)
7     of Section 203 or a shareholder that qualifies a Subchapter
8     S corporation for a subtraction under subparagraph (S) of
9     paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 203 shall be
10     allowed a credit under this subsection (e) equal to its
11     share of the credit earned under this subsection (e) during
12     the taxable year by the partnership or Subchapter S
13     corporation, determined in accordance with the
14     determination of income and distributive share of income
15     under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal
16     Revenue Code. This paragraph is exempt from the provisions
17     of Section 250.

19 Redevelopment Zone.
20         (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the
21     tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for
22     investment in qualified property which is placed in service
23     in an Enterprise Zone created pursuant to the Illinois
24     Enterprise Zone Act or, for property placed in service on
25     or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge Redevelopment Zone
26     established pursuant to the River Edge Redevelopment Zone

2     corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,

6     determined in accordance with the determination of income
7     and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
8     and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. The credit
9     shall be .5% of the basis for such property. The credit
10     shall be available only in the taxable year in which the
11     property is placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or
12     River Edge Redevelopment Zone and shall not be allowed to
13     the extent that it would reduce a taxpayer's liability for
14     the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section
15     to below zero. For tax years ending on or after December
16     31, 1985, the credit shall be allowed for the tax year in
17     which the property is placed in service, or, if the amount
18     of the credit exceeds the tax liability for that year,
19     whether it exceeds the original liability or the liability
20     as later amended, such excess may be carried forward and
21     applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable years
22     following the excess credit year. The credit shall be
23     applied to the earliest year for which there is a
24     liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
25     that is available to offset a liability, the credit
26     accruing first in time shall be applied first.

1         (2) The term qualified property means property which:
2             (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
3         buildings and structural components of buildings;
4             (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
5         Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
6         as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
7         eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
8         (f);
9             (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
10         179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
11             (D) is used in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
12         Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer; and
13             (E) has not been previously used in Illinois in
14         such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
15         the credit provided by this subsection (f) or
16         subsection (e).
17         (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
18     used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
19     income tax purposes.
20         (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
21     depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
22     in service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
23     Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer, the amount of such
24     increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
25     date of such increase in basis.
26         (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same

 

 

SB1681 - 17 - LRB096 10729 HLH 20913 b

1     meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
2         (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
3     be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
4     48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
5     any qualified property is moved outside the Enterprise Zone
6     or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months after
7     being placed in service, the tax imposed under subsections
8     (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable year shall be
9     increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
10     recomputing the investment credit which would have been
11     allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
12     originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
13     computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
14     from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
15     purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the basis of
16     qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
17     purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
18     property to the extent of such reduction.
19         (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
20     to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
21     service during the taxable year in a River Edge
22     Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
23     service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
24     employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over
25     the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
26     employment records filed with the Illinois Department of

 

 

SB1681 - 18 - LRB096 10729 HLH 20913 b

1     Employment Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois
2     shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
3     employment for the first year in which they file employment
4     records with the Illinois Department of Employment
5     Security. If, in any year, the increase in base employment
6     within Illinois over the preceding year is less than 1%,
7     the additional credit shall be limited to that percentage
8     times a fraction, the numerator of which is 0.5% and the
9     denominator of which is 1%, but shall not exceed 0.5%.
10     (g) Jobs Tax Credit; Enterprise Zone, River Edge
11 Redevelopment Zone, and Foreign Trade Zone or Sub-Zone.
12         (1) A taxpayer conducting a trade or business in an
13     enterprise zone or a High Impact Business designated by the

16     River Edge Redevelopment Zone conducting a trade or
17     business in a federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or
18     Sub-Zone shall be allowed a credit against the tax imposed
19     by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section in the amount of
20     $500 per eligible employee hired to work in the zone during
21     the taxable year.
22         (2) To qualify for the credit:
23             (A) the taxpayer must hire 5 or more eligible
24         employees to work in an enterprise zone, River Edge
25         Redevelopment Zone, or federally designated Foreign
26         Trade Zone or Sub-Zone during the taxable year;

1             (B) the taxpayer's total employment within the
2         enterprise zone, River Edge Redevelopment Zone, or
3         federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or Sub-Zone
4         must increase by 5 or more full-time employees beyond
5         the total employed in that zone at the end of the
6         previous tax year for which a jobs tax credit under
7         this Section was taken, or beyond the total employed by
8         the taxpayer as of December 31, 1985, whichever is
9         later; and
10             (C) the eligible employees must be employed 180
11         consecutive days in order to be deemed hired for
12         purposes of this subsection.
13         (3) An "eligible employee" means an employee who is:
14             (A) Certified by the Department of Commerce and
15         Economic Opportunity as "eligible for services"
16         pursuant to regulations promulgated in accordance with
17         Title II of the Job Training Partnership Act, Training
18         Services for the Disadvantaged or Title III of the Job
19         Training Partnership Act, Employment and Training

21             (B) Hired after the enterprise zone, River Edge
22         Redevelopment Zone, or federally designated Foreign
23         Trade Zone or Sub-Zone was designated or the trade or
24         business was located in that zone, whichever is later.
25             (C) Employed in the enterprise zone, River Edge
26         Redevelopment Zone, or Foreign Trade Zone or Sub-Zone.

 

 

SB1681 - 20 - LRB096 10729 HLH 20913 b

1         An employee is employed in an enterprise zone or
2         federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or Sub-Zone if
3         his services are rendered there or it is the base of
4         operations for the services performed.
5             (D) A full-time employee working 30 or more hours
6         per week.
7         (4) For tax years ending on or after December 31, 1985
8     and prior to December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed
9     for the tax year in which the eligible employees are hired.
10     For tax years ending on or after December 31, 1988, the
11     credit shall be allowed for the tax year immediately
12     following the tax year in which the eligible employees are
13     hired. If the amount of the credit exceeds the tax
14     liability for that year, whether it exceeds the original
15     liability or the liability as later amended, such excess
16     may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of
17     the 5 taxable years following the excess credit year. The
18     credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
19     there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
20     tax year that is available to offset a liability, earlier
21     credit shall be applied first.
22         (5) The Department of Revenue shall promulgate such
23     rules and regulations as may be deemed necessary to carry
24     out the purposes of this subsection (g).
25         (6) The credit shall be available for eligible
26     employees hired on or after January 1, 1986.

1     (h) Investment credit; High Impact Business.
2         (1) Subject to subsections (b) and (b-5) of Section 5.5
3     of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act, a taxpayer shall be
4     allowed a credit against the tax imposed by subsections (a)
5     and (b) of this Section for investment in qualified
6     property which is placed in service by a Department of
7     Commerce and Economic Opportunity designated High Impact
8     Business. The credit shall be .5% of the basis for such
9     property. The credit shall not be available (i) until the
10     minimum investments in qualified property set forth in
11     subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois
12     Enterprise Zone Act have been satisfied or (ii) until the
13     time authorized in subsection (b-5) of the Illinois
14     Enterprise Zone Act for entities designated as High Impact
15     Businesses under subdivisions (a)(3)(B), (a)(3)(C), and
16     (a)(3)(D) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone
17     Act, and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
18     reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by
19     subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. The
20     credit applicable to such investments shall be taken in the
21     taxable year in which such investments have been completed.
22     The credit for additional investments beyond the minimum
23     investment by a designated high impact business authorized
24     under subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois
25     Enterprise Zone Act shall be available only in the taxable
26     year in which the property is placed in service and shall

 

 

SB1681 - 22 - LRB096 10729 HLH 20913 b

1     not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
2     taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by subsections (a)
3     and (b) of this Section to below zero. For tax years ending
4     on or after December 31, 1987, the credit shall be allowed
5     for the tax year in which the property is placed in
6     service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax
7     liability for that year, whether it exceeds the original
8     liability or the liability as later amended, such excess
9     may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of
10     the 5 taxable years following the excess credit year. The
11     credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
12     there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
13     tax year that is available to offset a liability, the
14     credit accruing first in time shall be applied first.
15         Changes made in this subdivision (h)(1) by Public Act
16     88-670 restore changes made by Public Act 85-1182 and
17     reflect existing law.
18         (2) The term qualified property means property which:
19             (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
20         buildings and structural components of buildings;
21             (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
22         Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
23         as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
24         eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
25         (h);
26             (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section

 

 

SB1681 - 23 - LRB096 10729 HLH 20913 b

1         179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code; and
2             (D) is not eligible for the Enterprise Zone
3         Investment Credit provided by subsection (f) of this
4         Section.
5         (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
6     used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
7     income tax purposes.
8         (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
9     depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
10     in service in a federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or
11     Sub-Zone located in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of
12     such increase shall be deemed property placed in service on
13     the date of such increase in basis.
14         (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
15     meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
16         (6) If during any taxable year ending on or before
17     December 31, 1996, any property ceases to be qualified
18     property in the hands of the taxpayer within 48 months
19     after being placed in service, or the situs of any
20     qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
21     months after being placed in service, the tax imposed under
22     subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable
23     year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
24     by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
25     been allowed for the year in which credit for such property
26     was originally allowed by eliminating such property from

 

 

SB1681 - 24 - LRB096 10729 HLH 20913 b

1     such computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed
2     credit from the amount of credit previously allowed. For
3     the purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the
4     basis of qualified property resulting from a
5     redetermination of the purchase price shall be deemed a
6     disposition of qualified property to the extent of such
7     reduction.
8         (7) Beginning with tax years ending after December 31,
9     1996, if a taxpayer qualifies for the credit under this
10     subsection (h) and thereby is granted a tax abatement and
11     the taxpayer relocates its entire facility in violation of
12     the explicit terms and length of the contract under Section
13     18-183 of the Property Tax Code, the tax imposed under
14     subsections (a) and (b) of this Section shall be increased
15     for the taxable year in which the taxpayer relocated its
16     facility by an amount equal to the amount of credit
17     received by the taxpayer under this subsection (h).
18     (i) Credit for Personal Property Tax Replacement Income
19 Tax. For tax years ending prior to December 31, 2003, a credit
20 shall be allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and
21 (b) of this Section for the tax imposed by subsections (c) and
22 (d) of this Section. This credit shall be computed by
23 multiplying the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
24 Section by a fraction, the numerator of which is base income
25 allocable to Illinois and the denominator of which is Illinois
26 base income, and further multiplying the product by the tax

 

 

SB1681 - 25 - LRB096 10729 HLH 20913 b

1 rate imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section.
2     Any credit earned on or after December 31, 1986 under this
3 subsection which is unused in the year the credit is computed
4 because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by subsections (a)
5 and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the original
6 liability or the liability as later amended) may be carried
7 forward and applied to the tax liability imposed by subsections
8 (a) and (b) of the 5 taxable years following the excess credit
9 year, provided that no credit may be carried forward to any
10 year ending on or after December 31, 2003. This credit shall be
11 applied first to the earliest year for which there is a
12 liability. If there is a credit under this subsection from more
13 than one tax year that is available to offset a liability the
14 earliest credit arising under this subsection shall be applied
15 first.
16     If, during any taxable year ending on or after December 31,
17 1986, the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
18 Section for which a taxpayer has claimed a credit under this
19 subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of credit for such tax
20 shall also be reduced. Such reduction shall be determined by
21 recomputing the credit to take into account the reduced tax
22 imposed by subsections (c) and (d). If any portion of the
23 reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different
24 taxable year, an amended return shall be filed for such taxable
25 year to reduce the amount of credit claimed.
26     (j) Training expense credit. Beginning with tax years

 

 

SB1681 - 26 - LRB096 10729 HLH 20913 b

1 ending on or after December 31, 1986 and prior to December 31,
2 2003, a taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the tax
3 imposed by subsections (a) and (b) under this Section for all
4 amounts paid or accrued, on behalf of all persons employed by
5 the taxpayer in Illinois or Illinois residents employed outside
6 of Illinois by a taxpayer, for educational or vocational
7 training in semi-technical or technical fields or semi-skilled
8 or skilled fields, which were deducted from gross income in the
9 computation of taxable income. The credit against the tax
10 imposed by subsections (a) and (b) shall be 1.6% of such
11 training expenses. For partners, shareholders of subchapter S
12 corporations, and owners of limited liability companies, if the
13 liability company is treated as a partnership for purposes of
14 federal and State income taxation, there shall be allowed a
15 credit under this subsection (j) to be determined in accordance
16 with the determination of income and distributive share of
17 income under Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the
18 Internal Revenue Code.
19     Any credit allowed under this subsection which is unused in
20 the year the credit is earned may be carried forward to each of
21 the 5 taxable years following the year for which the credit is
22 first computed until it is used. This credit shall be applied
23 first to the earliest year for which there is a liability. If
24 there is a credit under this subsection from more than one tax
25 year that is available to offset a liability the earliest
26 credit arising under this subsection shall be applied first. No

 

 

SB1681 - 27 - LRB096 10729 HLH 20913 b

1 carryforward credit may be claimed in any tax year ending on or
2 after December 31, 2003.
3     (k) Research and development credit.
4     For tax years ending after July 1, 1990 and prior to
5 December 31, 2003, and beginning again for tax years ending on
6 or after December 31, 2004, a taxpayer shall be allowed a
7 credit against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of
8 this Section for increasing research activities in this State.
9 The credit allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a)
10 and (b) shall be equal to 6 1/2% of the qualifying expenditures
11 for increasing research activities in this State. For partners,
12 shareholders of subchapter S corporations, and owners of
13 limited liability companies, if the liability company is
14 treated as a partnership for purposes of federal and State
15 income taxation, there shall be allowed a credit under this
16 subsection to be determined in accordance with the
17 determination of income and distributive share of income under
18 Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the Internal Revenue
19 Code.
20     For purposes of this subsection, "qualifying expenditures"
21 means the qualifying expenditures as defined for the federal
22 credit for increasing research activities which would be
23 allowable under Section 41 of the Internal Revenue Code and
24 which are conducted in this State, "qualifying expenditures for
25 increasing research activities in this State" means the excess
26 of qualifying expenditures for the taxable year in which

 

 

SB1681 - 28 - LRB096 10729 HLH 20913 b

1 incurred over qualifying expenditures for the base period,
2 "qualifying expenditures for the base period" means the average
3 of the qualifying expenditures for each year in the base
4 period, and "base period" means the 3 taxable years immediately
5 preceding the taxable year for which the determination is being
6 made.
7     Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the taxable
8 year may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
9 unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over
10 as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
11 taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever occurs
12 first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year ending
13 prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any year
14 ending on or after December 31, 2003.
15     If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
16 2 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
17 year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
18 given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
19 remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
20 applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
21 liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
22 credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
23 following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
24 that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
25 than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
26 credit is given was incurred.

 

 

SB1681 - 29 - LRB096 10729 HLH 20913 b

1     No inference shall be drawn from this amendatory Act of the
2 91st General Assembly in construing this Section for taxable
3 years beginning before January 1, 1999.
4     (l) Environmental Remediation Tax Credit.
5         (i) For tax years ending after December 31, 1997 and on
6     or before December 31, 2001, a taxpayer shall be allowed a
7     credit against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b)
8     of this Section for certain amounts paid for unreimbursed
9     eligible remediation costs, as specified in this
10     subsection. For purposes of this Section, "unreimbursed
11     eligible remediation costs" means costs approved by the
12     Illinois Environmental Protection Agency ("Agency") under
13     Section 58.14 of the Environmental Protection Act that were
14     paid in performing environmental remediation at a site for
15     which a No Further Remediation Letter was issued by the
16     Agency and recorded under Section 58.10 of the
17     Environmental Protection Act. The credit must be claimed
18     for the taxable year in which Agency approval of the
19     eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit is not
20     available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any related
21     party caused or contributed to, in any material respect, a
22     release of regulated substances on, in, or under the site
23     that was identified and addressed by the remedial action
24     pursuant to the Site Remediation Program of the
25     Environmental Protection Act. After the Pollution Control
26     Board rules are adopted pursuant to the Illinois

 

 

SB1681 - 30 - LRB096 10729 HLH 20913 b

1     Administrative Procedure Act for the administration and
2     enforcement of Section 58.9 of the Environmental
3     Protection Act, determinations as to credit availability
4     for purposes of this Section shall be made consistent with
5     those rules. For purposes of this Section, "taxpayer"
6     includes a person whose tax attributes the taxpayer has
7     succeeded to under Section 381 of the Internal Revenue Code
8     and "related party" includes the persons disallowed a
9     deduction for losses by paragraphs (b), (c), and (f)(1) of
10     Section 267 of the Internal Revenue Code by virtue of being
11     a related taxpayer, as well as any of its partners. The
12     credit allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a)
13     and (b) shall be equal to 25% of the unreimbursed eligible
14     remediation costs in excess of $100,000 per site, except
15     that the $100,000 threshold shall not apply to any site
16     contained in an enterprise zone as determined by the
17     Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
18     Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity). The
19     total credit allowed shall not exceed $40,000 per year with
20     a maximum total of $150,000 per site. For partners and
21     shareholders of subchapter S corporations, there shall be
22     allowed a credit under this subsection to be determined in
23     accordance with the determination of income and
24     distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704 and
25     subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.
26         (ii) A credit allowed under this subsection that is

 

 

SB1681 - 31 - LRB096 10729 HLH 20913 b

1     unused in the year the credit is earned may be carried
2     forward to each of the 5 taxable years following the year
3     for which the credit is first earned until it is used. The
4     term "unused credit" does not include any amounts of
5     unreimbursed eligible remediation costs in excess of the
6     maximum credit per site authorized under paragraph (i).
7     This credit shall be applied first to the earliest year for
8     which there is a liability. If there is a credit under this
9     subsection from more than one tax year that is available to
10     offset a liability, the earliest credit arising under this
11     subsection shall be applied first. A credit allowed under
12     this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a sale of
13     all or part of the remediation site for which the credit
14     was granted. The purchaser of a remediation site and the
15     tax credit shall succeed to the unused credit and remaining
16     carry-forward period of the seller. To perfect the
17     transfer, the assignor shall record the transfer in the
18     chain of title for the site and provide written notice to
19     the Director of the Illinois Department of Revenue of the
20     assignor's intent to sell the remediation site and the

3     respect, a release of regulated substances on, in, or under
4     the site that was identified and addressed by the remedial
5     action pursuant to the Site Remediation Program of the
6     Environmental Protection Act. Determinations as to credit
7     availability for purposes of this Section shall be made
8     consistent with rules adopted by the Pollution Control

25     for which the credit is first earned until it is used. This
26     credit shall be applied first to the earliest year for

 

 

SB1681 - 35 - LRB096 10729 HLH 20913 b

1     which there is a liability. If there is a credit under this

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