10 in an amount equal to (i) for taxable years ending on or after
11 December 31, 2000 and on or before December 31, 2004 and for
12 taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2007, 30% of the

15 for taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2000, 5% of
16 the annual amount paid by the corporate taxpayer in providing
17 the child care facility for the children of its employees. The
18 provisions of Section 250 do not apply to the credits allowed
19 under this Section. If the 5% credit authorized under item (ii)

1 care facility for the children of its employees or it may join
2 in a partnership with one or more other corporations to jointly
3 provide and operate a child care facility for the children of
4 employees of the corporations in the partnership.
5     (b) The tax credit may not reduce the taxpayer's liability
6 to less than zero. If the amount of the tax credit exceeds the
7 tax liability for the year, the excess may be carried forward
8 and applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable years
9 following the excess credit year. The credit must be applied to
10 the earliest year for which there is a tax liability. If there
11 are credits from more than one tax year that are available to
12 offset a liability, then the earlier credit must be applied
13 first.
14     (c) As used in this Section, "start-up costs" means
15 planning, site-preparation, construction, renovation, or
16 acquisition of a child care facility. As used in this Section,
17 "child care facility" is limited to a child care facility
18 located in Illinois.
19     (d) A corporate taxpayer claiming the credit provided by
20 this Section shall maintain and record such information as the
21 Department may require by rule regarding the child care
22 facility for which the credit is claimed.
