| | | SB3834 | - 27 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 b |
|
| 1 | | income

Income Tax measured by net income on every | 3 | | corporation (including Subchapter
S corporations), partnership | 4 | | and trust, for each taxable year ending after
June 30, 1979. | 5 | | Such taxes are imposed on the privilege of earning or
| 6 | | receiving income in or as a resident of this State. The | 7 | | Personal Property
Tax Replacement Income Tax shall be in | 8 | | addition to the income tax imposed
by subsections (a) and (b) | 9 | | of this Section and in addition to all other
occupation or | 10 | | privilege taxes imposed by this State or by any municipal
| 11 | | corporation or political subdivision thereof. | 12 | | (d) Additional Personal Property Tax Replacement Income | 13 | | Tax Rates.
The personal property tax replacement income tax | 14 | | imposed by this subsection
and subsection (c) of this Section | 15 | | in the case of a corporation, other

| 21 | | partnership, trust or a Subchapter S corporation shall be an | 22 | | additional
amount equal to 1.5% of such taxpayer's net income | 23 | | for the taxable year. | 24 | | (d-1) Rate reduction for certain foreign insurers. In the | 25 | | case of a
foreign insurer, as defined by Section 35A-5 of the | 26 | | Illinois Insurance Code,
whose state or country of domicile |
| | | SB3834 | - 28 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 b |
|
| 1 | | imposes on insurers domiciled in Illinois
a retaliatory tax | 2 | | (excluding any insurer
whose premiums from reinsurance assumed | 3 | | are 50% or more of its total insurance
premiums as determined | 4 | | under paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 304,
except | 5 | | that for purposes of this determination premiums from | 6 | | reinsurance do
not include premiums from inter-affiliate | 7 | | reinsurance arrangements),
beginning with taxable years ending | 8 | | on or after December 31, 1999,
the sum of
the rates of tax | 9 | | imposed by subsections (b) and (d) shall be reduced (but not
| 10 | | increased) to the rate at which the total amount of tax imposed | 11 | | under this Act,
net of all credits allowed under this Act, | 12 | | shall equal (i) the total amount of
tax that would be imposed | 13 | | on the foreign insurer's net income allocable to
Illinois for | 14 | | the taxable year by such foreign insurer's state or country of
| 15 | | domicile if that net income were subject to all income taxes | 16 | | and taxes
measured by net income imposed by such foreign | 17 | | insurer's state or country of
domicile, net of all credits | 18 | | allowed or (ii) a rate of zero if no such tax is
imposed on | 19 | | such income by the foreign insurer's state of domicile.
For | 20 | | the purposes of this subsection (d-1), an inter-affiliate | 21 | | includes a
mutual insurer under common management. | 22 | | (1) For the purposes of subsection (d-1), in no event | 23 | | shall the sum of the
rates of tax imposed by subsections | 24 | | (b) and (d) be reduced below the rate at
which the sum of: | 25 | | (A) the total amount of tax imposed on such | 26 | | foreign insurer under
this Act for a taxable year, net |
| | | SB3834 | - 29 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 b |
|
| 1 | | of all credits allowed under this Act, plus | 2 | | (B) the privilege tax imposed by Section 409 of | 3 | | the Illinois Insurance
Code, the fire insurance | 4 | | company tax imposed by Section 12 of the Fire
| 5 | | Investigation Act, and the fire department taxes | 6 | | imposed under Section 11-10-1
of the Illinois | 7 | | Municipal Code, | 8 | | equals 1.25% for taxable years ending prior to December | 9 | | 31, 2003, or
1.75% for taxable years ending on or after | 10 | | December 31, 2003, of the net
taxable premiums written for | 11 | | the taxable year,
as described by subsection (1) of | 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). | 15 | | (2) Any reduction in the rates of tax imposed by this | 16 | | subsection shall be
applied first against the rates | 17 | | imposed by subsection (b) and only after the
tax imposed | 18 | | by subsection (a) net of all credits allowed under this | 19 | | Section
other than the credit allowed under subsection (i) | 20 | | has been reduced to zero,
against the rates imposed by | 21 | | subsection (d). | 22 | | This subsection (d-1) is exempt from the provisions of | 23 | | Section 250. | 24 | | (e) Investment credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a | 25 | | credit
against the Personal Property Tax Replacement Income | 26 | | Tax for
investment in qualified property. |
| | | SB3834 | - 30 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 b |
|
| 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 |
| | | SB3834 | - 31 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 b |
|
| 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 |
| | | SB3834 | - 32 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 b |
|
| 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 |
| | | SB3834 | - 33 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 b |
|
| 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
|
| | | SB3834 | - 34 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 b |
|
| 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. |
| | | SB3834 | - 35 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 b |
|
| 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. | 6 | | (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000, | 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 |
| | | SB3834 | - 36 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 b |
|
| 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 | 9 | | paragraph is exempt from the provisions of Section 250. | 10 | | (f) Investment credit; Enterprise Zone; River Edge | 11 | | Redevelopment Zone. | 12 | | (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the | 13 | | tax imposed
by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for | 14 | | investment in qualified
property which is placed in | 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 |
| | | SB3834 | - 37 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 b |
|
| 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 |
| | | SB3834 | - 38 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 b |
|
| 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 |
| | | SB3834 | - 39 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 b |
|
| 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 |
| | | SB3834 | - 40 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 b |
|
| 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 | 22 | | corporations, and owners of limited liability companies, | 23 | | if the liability company is treated as a partnership for | 24 | | the purposes of federal and State income taxation, there | 25 | | shall be allowed a credit under this Section to be | 26 | | determined in accordance with the determination of income |
| | | SB3834 | - 41 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 b |
|
| 1 | | and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and | 2 | | 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. | 3 | | The total aggregate amount of credits awarded under | 4 | | the Blue Collar Jobs Act (Article 20 of Public Act 101-9) | 5 | | shall not exceed $20,000,000 in any State fiscal year. | 6 | | This paragraph (8) is exempt from the provisions of | 7 | | Section 250. | 8 | | (g) (Blank). | 9 | | (h) Investment credit; High Impact Business. | 10 | | (1) Subject to subsections (b) and (b-5) of Section
| 11 | | 5.5 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act, a taxpayer shall | 12 | | be allowed a credit
against the tax imposed by subsections | 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 | 21 | | time authorized in subsection (b-5) of the Illinois
| 22 | | Enterprise Zone Act for entities designated as High Impact | 23 | | Businesses under
subdivision subdivisions (a)(3)(B), | 24 | | (a)(3)(C), and (a)(3)(D) , or (a)(3)(G) of Section 5.5 of | 25 | | the Illinois
Enterprise Zone Act, and shall not be allowed | 26 | | to the extent that it would
reduce a taxpayer's liability |
| | | SB3834 | - 42 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 b |
|
| 1 | | for the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of
this | 2 | | Section to below zero. The credit applicable to such | 3 | | investments shall be
taken in the taxable year in which | 4 | | such investments have been completed. The
credit for | 5 | | additional investments beyond the minimum investment by a | 6 | | designated
high impact business authorized under | 7 | | subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section 5.5 of
the Illinois | 8 | | Enterprise Zone Act shall be available only in the taxable | 9 | | year in
which the property is placed in service and shall | 10 | | not be allowed to the extent
that it would reduce a | 11 | | taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by subsections
| 12 | | (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero.
For tax years | 13 | | ending on or after December 31, 1987, the credit shall be
| 14 | | allowed for the tax year in which the property is placed in | 15 | | service, or, if
the amount of the credit exceeds the tax | 16 | | liability for that year, whether
it exceeds the original | 17 | | liability or the liability as later amended, such
excess | 18 | | may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of | 19 | | the 5
taxable years following the excess credit year. The | 20 | | credit shall be
applied to the earliest year for which | 21 | | there is a liability. If there is
credit from more than one | 22 | | tax year that is available to offset a liability,
the | 23 | | credit accruing first in time shall be applied first. | 24 | | Changes made in this subdivision (h)(1) by Public Act | 25 | | 88-670
restore changes made by Public Act 85-1182 and | 26 | | reflect existing law. |

|
| 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 | | (h); | 9 | | (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section | 10 | | 179(d) of the
Internal Revenue Code; and | 11 | | (D) is not eligible for the Enterprise Zone | 12 | | Investment Credit provided
by subsection (f) of this | 13 | | Section. | 14 | | (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis | 15 | | used to compute
the depreciation deduction for federal | 16 | | income tax purposes. | 17 | | (4) If the basis of the property for federal income | 18 | | tax depreciation
purposes is increased after it has been | 19 | | placed in service in a federally
designated Foreign Trade | 20 | | Zone or Sub-Zone located in Illinois by the taxpayer,
the | 21 | | amount of such increase shall be deemed property placed in | 22 | | service on
the date of such increase in basis. | 23 | | (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same | 24 | | meaning as under
Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code. | 25 | | (6) If during any taxable year ending on or before | 26 | | December 31, 1996,
any property ceases to be qualified
|
| | | SB3834 | - 44 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 b |
|
| 1 | | property in the hands of the taxpayer within 48 months | 2 | | after being placed
in service, or the situs of any | 3 | | qualified property is moved outside
Illinois within 48 | 4 | | months after being placed in service, the tax imposed
| 5 | | under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such | 6 | | taxable year shall
be increased. Such increase shall be | 7 | | determined by (i) recomputing the
investment credit which | 8 | | would have been allowed for the year in which
credit for | 9 | | such 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 (6), 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 | | (7) Beginning with tax years ending after December 31, | 18 | | 1996, if a
taxpayer qualifies for the credit under this | 19 | | subsection (h) and thereby is
granted a tax abatement and | 20 | | the taxpayer relocates its entire facility in
violation of | 21 | | the explicit terms and length of the contract under | 22 | | Section
18-183 of the Property Tax Code, the tax imposed | 23 | | under subsections
(a) and (b) of this Section shall be | 24 | | increased for the taxable year
in which the taxpayer | 25 | | relocated its facility by an amount equal to the
amount of | 26 | | credit received by the taxpayer under this subsection (h). |

|
| 1 | | (h-5) High Impact Business construction jobs credit. For | 2 | | taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2021, there | 3 | | shall also be allowed a High Impact Business construction jobs | 4 | | credit against the tax imposed under subsections (a) and (b) | 5 | | of this Section as provided in subsections (i) and (j) of | 6 | | Section 5.5 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act. | 7 | | The credit or credits may not reduce the taxpayer's | 8 | | liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or | 9 | | credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may be | 10 | | carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's liability | 11 | | in succeeding calendar years in the manner provided under | 12 | | paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act. The credit or credits | 13 | | shall be applied to the earliest year for which there is a tax | 14 | | liability. If there are credits from more than one taxable | 15 | | year that are available to offset a liability, the earlier | 16 | | credit shall be applied first. | 17 | | For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S corporations, | 18 | | and owners of limited liability companies, if the liability | 19 | | company is treated as a partnership for the purposes of | 20 | | federal and State income taxation, there shall be allowed a | 21 | | credit under this Section to be determined in accordance with | 22 | | the determination of income and distributive share of income | 23 | | under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal | 24 | | Revenue Code. | 25 | | The total aggregate amount of credits awarded under the | 26 | | Blue Collar Jobs Act (Article 20 of Public Act 101-9) shall not |
| | | SB3834 | - 46 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 b |
|
| 1 | | exceed $20,000,000 in any State fiscal year. | 2 | | This subsection (h-5) is exempt from the provisions of | 3 | | Section 250. | 4 | | (i) Credit for Personal Property Tax Replacement Income | 5 | | Tax.
For tax years ending prior to December 31, 2003, a credit | 6 | | shall be allowed
against the tax imposed by
subsections (a) | 7 | | and (b) of this Section for the tax imposed by subsections (c)
| 8 | | and (d) of this Section. This credit shall be computed by | 9 | | multiplying the tax
imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this | 10 | | Section by a fraction, the numerator
of which is base income | 11 | | allocable to Illinois and the denominator of which is
Illinois | 12 | | base income, and further multiplying the product by the tax | 13 | | rate
imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section. | 14 | | Any credit earned on or after December 31, 1986 under
this | 15 | | subsection which is unused in the year
the credit is computed | 16 | | because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by
subsections | 17 | | (a) and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the original
| 18 | | liability or the liability as later amended) may be carried | 19 | | forward and
applied to the tax liability imposed by | 20 | | subsections (a) and (b) of the 5
taxable years following the | 21 | | excess credit year, provided that no credit may
be carried | 22 | | forward to any year ending on or
after December 31, 2003. This | 23 | | credit shall be
applied first to the earliest year for which | 24 | | there is a liability. If
there is a credit under this | 25 | | subsection from more than one tax year that is
available to | 26 | | offset a liability the earliest credit arising under this
|
| | | SB3834 | - 47 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 b |
|
| 1 | | subsection shall be applied first. | 2 | | If, during any taxable year ending on or after December | 3 | | 31, 1986, the
tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this | 4 | | Section for which a taxpayer
has claimed a credit under this | 5 | | subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of
credit for such tax | 6 | | shall also be reduced. Such reduction shall be
determined by | 7 | | recomputing the credit to take into account the reduced tax
| 8 | | imposed by subsections (c) and (d). If any portion of the
| 9 | | reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different | 10 | | taxable year, an
amended return shall be filed for such | 11 | | taxable year to reduce the amount of
credit claimed. | 12 | | (j) Training expense credit. Beginning with tax years | 13 | | ending on or
after December 31, 1986 and prior to December 31, | 14 | | 2003, a taxpayer shall be
allowed a credit against the
tax | 15 | | imposed by subsections (a) and (b) under this Section
for all | 16 | | amounts paid or accrued, on behalf of all persons
employed by | 17 | | the taxpayer in Illinois or Illinois residents employed
| 18 | | outside of Illinois by a taxpayer, for educational or | 19 | | vocational training in
semi-technical or technical fields or | 20 | | semi-skilled or skilled fields, which
were deducted from gross | 21 | | income in the computation of taxable income. The
credit | 22 | | against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) shall be | 23 | | 1.6% of
such training expenses. For partners, shareholders of | 24 | | subchapter S
corporations, and owners of limited liability | 25 | | companies, if the liability
company is treated as a | 26 | | partnership for purposes of federal and State income
taxation, |
| | | SB3834 | - 48 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 b |
|
| 1 | | there shall be allowed a credit under this subsection (j) to be
| 2 | | determined in accordance with the determination of income and | 3 | | distributive
share of income under Sections 702 and 704 and | 4 | | subchapter S of the Internal
Revenue Code. | 5 | | Any credit allowed under this subsection which is unused | 6 | | in the year
the credit is earned may be carried forward to each | 7 | | of the 5 taxable
years following the year for which the credit | 8 | | is first computed until it is
used. This credit shall be | 9 | | applied first to the earliest year for which
there is a | 10 | | liability. If there is a credit under this subsection from | 11 | | more
than one tax year that is available to offset a liability, | 12 | | the earliest
credit arising under this subsection shall be | 13 | | applied first. No carryforward
credit may be claimed in any | 14 | | tax year ending on or after
December 31, 2003. | 15 | | (k) Research and development credit. For tax years ending | 16 | | after July 1, 1990 and prior to
December 31, 2003, and | 17 | | beginning again for tax years ending on or after December 31, | 18 | | 2004, and ending prior to January 1, 2027, a taxpayer shall be
| 19 | | allowed a credit against the tax imposed by subsections (a) | 20 | | and (b) of this
Section for increasing research activities in | 21 | | this State. The credit
allowed against the tax imposed by | 22 | | subsections (a) and (b) shall be equal
to 6 1/2% of the | 23 | | qualifying expenditures for increasing research activities
in | 24 | | this State. For partners, shareholders of subchapter S | 25 | | corporations, and
owners of limited liability companies, if | 26 | | the liability company is treated as a
partnership for purposes |
| | | SB3834 | - 49 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 b |
|
| 1 | | of federal and State income taxation, there shall be
allowed a | 2 | | credit under this subsection to be determined in accordance | 3 | | with the
determination of income and distributive share of | 4 | | income under Sections 702 and
704 and subchapter S of the | 5 | | Internal Revenue Code. | 6 | | For purposes of this subsection, "qualifying expenditures" | 7 | | means the
qualifying expenditures as defined for the federal | 8 | | credit for increasing
research activities which would be | 9 | | allowable under Section 41 of the
Internal Revenue Code and | 10 | | which are conducted in this State, "qualifying
expenditures | 11 | | for increasing research activities in this State" means the
| 12 | | excess of qualifying expenditures for the taxable year in | 13 | | which incurred
over qualifying expenditures for the base | 14 | | period, "qualifying expenditures
for the base period" means | 15 | | the average of the qualifying expenditures for
each year in | 16 | | the base period, and "base period" means the 3 taxable years
| 17 | | immediately preceding the taxable year for which the | 18 | | determination is
being made. | 19 | | Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the taxable | 20 | | year
may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
| 21 | | unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over | 22 | | as a credit
against the tax liability for the following 5 | 23 | | taxable years or until it has
been fully used, whichever | 24 | | occurs first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year | 25 | | ending prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any | 26 | | year ending on or after December 31, 2003. |
| | | SB3834 | - 50 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 b |
|
| 1 | | If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from | 2 | | 2 or more
earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest | 3 | | year will be applied
first against the tax liability for the | 4 | | given year. If a tax liability for
the given year still | 5 | | remains, the credit from the next earliest year will
then be | 6 | | applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
| 7 | | liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused | 8 | | credit or
credits then will be carried forward to the next | 9 | | following year in which a
tax liability is incurred, except | 10 | | that no credit can be carried forward to
a year which is more | 11 | | than 5 years after the year in which the expense for
which the | 12 | | credit is given was incurred. | 13 | | No inference shall be drawn from Public Act 91-644 in | 14 | | construing this Section for taxable years beginning before | 15 | | January
1, 1999. | 16 | | It is the intent of the General Assembly that the research | 17 | | and development credit under this subsection (k) shall apply | 18 | | continuously for all tax years ending on or after December 31, | 19 | | 2004 and ending prior to January 1, 2027, including, but not | 20 | | limited to, the period beginning on January 1, 2016 and ending | 21 | | on July 6, 2017 (the effective date of Public Act 100-22). All | 22 | | actions taken in reliance on the continuation of the credit | 23 | | under this subsection (k) by any taxpayer are hereby | 24 | | validated. | 25 | | (l) Environmental Remediation Tax Credit. | 26 | | (i) For tax years ending after December 31, 1997 and |
| | | SB3834 | - 51 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 b |
|
| 1 | | on or before
December 31, 2001, a taxpayer shall be | 2 | | allowed a credit against the tax
imposed by subsections | 3 | | (a) and (b) of this Section for certain amounts paid
for | 4 | | unreimbursed eligible remediation costs, as specified in | 5 | | this subsection.
For purposes of this Section, | 6 | | "unreimbursed eligible remediation costs" means
costs | 7 | | approved by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency | 8 | | ("Agency") under
Section 58.14 of the Environmental | 9 | | Protection Act that were paid in performing
environmental | 10 | | remediation at a site for which a No Further Remediation | 11 | | Letter
was issued by the Agency and recorded under Section | 12 | | 58.10 of the Environmental
Protection Act. The credit must | 13 | | be claimed for the taxable year in which
Agency approval | 14 | | of the eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit | 15 | | is
not available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any | 16 | | related party caused or
contributed to, in any material | 17 | | respect, a release of regulated substances on,
in, or | 18 | | under the site that was identified and addressed by the | 19 | | remedial
action pursuant to the Site Remediation Program | 20 | | of the Environmental Protection
Act. After the Pollution | 21 | | Control Board rules are adopted pursuant to the
Illinois | 22 | | Administrative Procedure Act for the administration and | 23 | | enforcement of
Section 58.9 of the Environmental | 24 | | Protection Act, determinations as to credit
availability | 25 | | for purposes of this Section shall be made consistent with | 26 | | those
rules. For purposes of this Section, "taxpayer" |
| | | SB3834 | - 52 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 b |
|
| 1 | | includes a person whose tax
attributes the taxpayer has | 2 | | succeeded to under Section 381 of the Internal
Revenue | 3 | | Code and "related party" includes the persons disallowed a | 4 | | deduction
for losses by paragraphs (b), (c), and (f)(1) of | 5 | | Section 267 of the Internal
Revenue Code by virtue of | 6 | | being a related taxpayer, as well as any of its
partners. | 7 | | The credit allowed against the tax imposed by subsections | 8 | | (a) and
(b) shall be equal to 25% of the unreimbursed | 9 | | eligible remediation costs in
excess of $100,000 per site, | 10 | | except that the $100,000 threshold shall not apply
to any | 11 | | site contained in an enterprise zone as determined by the | 12 | | Department of
Commerce and Community Affairs (now | 13 | | Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity). The | 14 | | total credit allowed shall not exceed
$40,000 per year | 15 | | with a maximum total of $150,000 per site. For partners | 16 | | and
shareholders of subchapter S corporations, there shall | 17 | | be allowed a credit
under this subsection to be determined | 18 | | in accordance with the determination of
income and | 19 | | distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704 | 20 | | and
subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. | 21 | | (ii) A credit allowed under this subsection that is | 22 | | unused in the year
the credit is earned may be carried | 23 | | forward to each of the 5 taxable years
following the year | 24 | | for which the credit is first earned until it is used.
The | 25 | | term "unused credit" does not include any amounts of | 26 | | unreimbursed eligible
remediation costs in excess of the |
| | | SB3834 | - 53 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 b |
|
| 1 | | maximum credit per site authorized under
paragraph (i). | 2 | | This credit shall be applied first to the earliest year
| 3 | | for which there is a liability. If there is a credit under | 4 | | this subsection
from more than one tax year that is | 5 | | available to offset a liability, the
earliest credit | 6 | | arising under this subsection shall be applied first. A
| 7 | | credit allowed under this subsection may be sold to a | 8 | | buyer as part of a sale
of all or part of the remediation | 9 | | site for which the credit was granted. The
purchaser of a | 10 | | remediation site and the tax credit shall succeed to the | 11 | | unused
credit and remaining carry-forward period of the | 12 | | seller. To perfect the
transfer, the assignor shall record | 13 | | the transfer in the chain of title for the
site and provide | 14 | | written notice to the Director of the Illinois Department | 15 | | of
Revenue of the assignor's intent to sell the | 16 | | remediation site and the amount of
the tax credit to be | 17 | | transferred as a portion of the sale. In no event may a
| 18 | | credit be transferred to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or a | 19 | | related party would
not be eligible under the provisions | 20 | | of subsection (i). | 21 | | (iii) For purposes of this Section, the term "site" | 22 | | shall have the same
meaning as under Section 58.2 of the | 23 | | Environmental Protection Act. | 24 | | (m) Education expense credit. Beginning with tax years | 25 | | ending after
December 31, 1999, a taxpayer who
is the | 26 | | custodian of one or more qualifying pupils shall be allowed a |
| | | SB3834 | - 54 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 b |
|
| 1 | | credit
against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of | 2 | | this Section for
qualified education expenses incurred on | 3 | | behalf of the qualifying pupils.
The credit shall be equal to | 4 | | 25% of qualified education expenses, but in no
event may the | 5 | | total credit under this subsection claimed by a
family that is | 6 | | the
custodian of qualifying pupils exceed (i) $500 for tax | 7 | | years ending prior to December 31, 2017, and (ii) $750 for tax | 8 | | years ending on or after December 31, 2017. In no event shall a | 9 | | credit under
this subsection reduce the taxpayer's liability | 10 | | under this Act to less than
zero. Notwithstanding any other | 11 | | provision of law, for taxable years beginning on or after | 12 | | January 1, 2017, no taxpayer may claim a credit under this | 13 | | subsection (m) if the taxpayer's adjusted gross income for the | 14 | | taxable year exceeds (i) $500,000, in the case of spouses | 15 | | filing a joint federal tax return or (ii) $250,000, in the case | 16 | | of all other taxpayers. This subsection is exempt from the | 17 | | provisions of Section 250 of this
Act. | 18 | | For purposes of this subsection: | 19 | | "Qualifying pupils" means individuals who (i) are | 20 | | residents of the State of
Illinois, (ii) are under the age of | 21 | | 21 at the close of the school year for

lab fees at the school in which the pupil is | 3 | | enrolled during the regular school
year. | 4 | | "School" means any public or nonpublic elementary or | 5 | | secondary school in
Illinois that is in compliance with Title | 6 | | VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
and attendance at which | 7 | | satisfies the requirements of Section 26-1 of the
School Code, | 8 | | except that nothing shall be construed to require a child to
| 9 | | attend any particular public or nonpublic school to qualify | 10 | | for the credit
under this Section. | 11 | | "Custodian" means, with respect to qualifying pupils, an | 12 | | Illinois resident
who is a parent, the parents, a legal | 13 | | guardian, or the legal guardians of the
qualifying pupils. | 14 | | (n) River Edge Redevelopment Zone site remediation tax | 15 | | credit.

For purposes of | 21 | | this Section, "unreimbursed eligible remediation costs" | 22 | | means costs approved by the Illinois Environmental | 23 | | Protection Agency ("Agency") under Section 58.14a of the | 24 | | Environmental Protection Act that were paid in performing | 25 | | environmental remediation at a site within a River Edge | 26 | | Redevelopment Zone for which a No Further Remediation |

|
| 1 | | Letter was issued by the Agency and recorded under Section | 2 | | 58.10 of the Environmental Protection Act. The credit must | 3 | | be claimed for the taxable year in which Agency approval | 4 | | of the eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit | 5 | | is not available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any | 6 | | related party caused or contributed to, in any material | 7 | | respect, a release of regulated substances on, in, or | 8 | | under the site that was identified and addressed by the | 9 | | remedial action pursuant to the Site Remediation Program | 10 | | of the Environmental Protection Act. Determinations as to | 11 | | credit availability for purposes of this Section shall be | 12 | | made consistent with rules adopted by the Pollution | 13 | | Control Board pursuant to the Illinois Administrative | 14 | | Procedure Act for the administration and enforcement of | 15 | | Section 58.9 of the Environmental Protection Act. For | 16 | | purposes of this Section, "taxpayer" includes a person | 17 | | whose tax attributes the taxpayer has succeeded to under | 18 | | Section 381 of the Internal Revenue Code and "related | 19 | | party" includes the persons disallowed a deduction for | 20 | | losses by paragraphs (b), (c), and (f)(1) of Section 267 | 21 | | of the Internal Revenue Code by virtue of being a related | 22 | | taxpayer, as well as any of its partners. The credit | 23 | | allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) | 24 | | shall be equal to 25% of the unreimbursed eligible | 25 | | remediation costs in excess of $100,000 per site. | 26 | | (ii) A credit allowed under this subsection that is |
| | | SB3834 | - 57 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 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. This | 4 | | credit shall be applied first to the earliest year for | 5 | | which there is a liability. If there is a credit under this | 6 | | subsection from more than one tax year that is available | 7 | | to offset a liability, the earliest credit arising under | 8 | | this subsection shall be applied first. A credit allowed | 9 | | under this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a | 10 | | sale of all or part of the remediation site for which the | 11 | | credit was granted. The purchaser of a remediation site | 12 | | and the tax credit shall succeed to the unused credit and | 13 | | remaining carry-forward period of the seller. To perfect | 14 | | the transfer, the assignor shall record the transfer in | 15 | | the chain of title for the site and provide written notice | 16 | | to the Director of the Illinois Department of Revenue of | 17 | | the assignor's intent to sell the remediation site and the | 18 | | amount of the tax credit to be transferred as a portion of | 19 | | the sale. In no event may a credit be transferred to any | 20 | | taxpayer if the taxpayer or a related party would not be | 21 | | eligible under the provisions of subsection (i). | 22 | | (iii) For purposes of this Section, the term "site" | 23 | | shall have the same meaning as under Section 58.2 of the | 24 | | Environmental Protection Act. | 25 | | (o) For each of taxable years during the Compassionate Use | 26 | | of Medical Cannabis Program, a surcharge is imposed on all |

The amount of the surcharge is | 6 | | equal to the amount of federal income tax liability for the | 7 | | taxable year attributable to those sales and exchanges. The | 8 | | surcharge imposed does not apply if: | 9 | | (1) the medical cannabis cultivation center | 10 | | registration, medical cannabis dispensary registration, or | 11 | | the property of a registration is transferred as a result | 12 | | of any of the following: | 13 | | (A) bankruptcy, a receivership, or a debt | 14 | | adjustment initiated by or against the initial | 15 | | registration or the substantial owners of the initial | 16 | | registration; | 17 | | (B) cancellation, revocation, or termination of | 18 | | any registration by the Illinois Department of Public | 19 | | Health; | 20 | | (C) a determination by the Illinois Department of | 21 | | Public Health that transfer of the registration is in | 22 | | the best interests of Illinois qualifying patients as | 23 | | defined by the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis | 24 | | Program Act; | 25 | | (D) the death of an owner of the equity interest in | 26 | | a registrant; |

A separate election shall be made for each | 24 | | taxable year. Such election shall be made at such time, | 25 | | and in such form and manner as prescribed by the | 26 | | Department, and, once made, is irrevocable. |

|
| 1 | | (2) Entity-level tax. A partnership or Subchapter S | 2 | | corporation electing to apply the provisions of this | 3 | | subsection shall be subject to a tax for the privilege of | 4 | | earning or receiving income in this State in an amount | 5 | | equal to 4.95% of the taxpayer's net income for the | 6 | | taxable year. | 7 | | (3) Net income defined. | 8 | | (A) In general. For purposes of paragraph (2), the | 9 | | term net income has the same meaning as defined in | 10 | | Section 202 of this Act, except that the following | 11 | | provisions shall not apply: | 12 | | (i) the standard exemption allowed under | 13 | | Section 204; | 14 | | (ii) the deduction for net losses allowed | 15 | | under Section 207; | 16 | | (iii) in the case of an S corporation, the | 17 | | modification under Section 203(b)(2)(S); and | 18 | | (iv) in the case of a partnership, the | 19 | | modifications under Section 203(d)(2)(H) and | 20 | | Section 203(d)(2)(I). | 21 | | (B) Special rule for tiered partnerships. If a | 22 | | taxpayer making the election under paragraph (1) is a | 23 | | partner of another taxpayer making the election under | 24 | | paragraph (1), net income shall be computed as | 25 | | provided in subparagraph (A), except that the taxpayer | 26 | | shall subtract its distributive share of the net |
| | | SB3834 | - 61 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 b |
|
| 1 | | income of the electing partnership (including its | 2 | | distributive share of the net income of the electing | 3 | | partnership derived as a distributive share from | 4 | | electing partnerships in which it is a partner). | 5 | | (4) Credit for entity level tax. Each partner or | 6 | | shareholder of a taxpayer making the election under this | 7 | | Section shall be allowed a credit against the tax imposed | 8 | | under subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of this Act | 9 | | for the taxable year of the partnership or Subchapter S | 10 | | corporation for which an election is in effect ending | 11 | | within or with the taxable year of the partner or | 12 | | shareholder in an amount equal to 4.95% times the partner | 13 | | or shareholder's distributive share of the net income of | 14 | | the electing partnership or Subchapter S corporation, but | 15 | | not to exceed the partner's or shareholder's share of the | 16 | | tax imposed under paragraph (1) which is actually paid by | 17 | | the partnership or Subchapter S corporation. If the | 18 | | taxpayer is a partnership or Subchapter S corporation that | 19 | | is itself a partner of a partnership making the election | 20 | | under paragraph (1), the credit under this paragraph shall | 21 | | be allowed to the taxpayer's partners or shareholders (or | 22 | | if the partner is a partnership or Subchapter S | 23 | | corporation then its partners or shareholders) in | 24 | | accordance with the determination of income and | 25 | | distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704 | 26 | | and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. If the |
| | | SB3834 | - 62 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 b |
|
| 1 | | amount of the credit allowed under this paragraph exceeds | 2 | | the partner's or shareholder's liability for tax imposed | 3 | | under subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of this Act | 4 | | for the taxable year, such excess shall be treated as an | 5 | | overpayment for purposes of Section 909 of this Act. | 6 | | (5) Nonresidents. A nonresident individual who is a | 7 | | partner or shareholder of a partnership or Subchapter S | 8 | | corporation for a taxable year for which an election is in | 9 | | effect under paragraph (1) shall not be required to file | 10 | | an income tax return under this Act for such taxable year | 11 | | if the only source of net income of the individual (or the | 12 | | individual and the individual's spouse in the case of a | 13 | | joint return) is from an entity making the election under | 14 | | paragraph (1) and the credit allowed to the partner or | 15 | | shareholder under paragraph (4) equals or exceeds the | 16 | | individual's liability for the tax imposed under | 17 | | subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of this Act for the | 18 | | taxable year. | 19 | | (6) Liability for tax. Except as provided in this | 20 | | paragraph, a partnership or Subchapter S making the | 21 | | election under paragraph (1) is liable for the | 22 | | entity-level tax imposed under paragraph (2). If the | 23 | | electing partnership or corporation fails to pay the full | 24 | | amount of tax deemed assessed under paragraph (2), the | 25 | | partners or shareholders shall be liable to pay the tax | 26 | | assessed (including penalties and interest). Each partner |
| | | SB3834 | - 63 - | LRB102 22879 HLH 32030 b |
|
| 1 | | or shareholder shall be liable for the unpaid assessment | 2 | | based on the ratio of the partner's or shareholder's share | 3 | | of the net income of the partnership over the total net | 4 | | income of the partnership. If the partnership or | 5 | | Subchapter S corporation fails to pay the tax assessed | 6 | | (including penalties and interest) and thereafter an | 7 | | amount of such tax is paid by the partners or | 8 | | shareholders, such amount shall not be collected from the | 9 | | partnership or corporation. | 10 | | (7) Foreign tax. For purposes of the credit allowed | 11 | | under Section 601(b)(3) of this Act, tax paid by a | 12 | | partnership or Subchapter S corporation to another state | 13 | | which, as determined by the Department, is substantially | 14 | | similar to the tax imposed under this subsection, shall be | 15 | | considered tax paid by the partner or shareholder to the | 16 | | extent that the partner's or shareholder's share of the | 17 | | income of the partnership or Subchapter S corporation | 18 | | allocated and apportioned to such other state bears to the | 19 | | total income of the partnership or Subchapter S | 20 | | corporation allocated or apportioned to such other state. | 21 | | (8) Suspension of withholding. The provisions of | 22 | | Section 709.5 of this Act shall not apply to a partnership | 23 | | or Subchapter S corporation for the taxable year for which | 24 | | an election under paragraph (1) is in effect. | 25 | | (9) Requirement to pay estimated tax. For each taxable | 26 | | year for which an election under paragraph (1) is in |
