26imposed by subsections (b) and (d) shall be reduced (but not

 

 

SB2531 Engrossed- 9 -LRB102 15312 HLH 20668 b

1increased) to the rate at which the total amount of tax imposed
2under this Act, net of all credits allowed under this Act,
3shall equal (i) the total amount of tax that would be imposed
4on the foreign insurer's net income allocable to Illinois for
5the taxable year by such foreign insurer's state or country of
6domicile if that net income were subject to all income taxes
7and taxes measured by net income imposed by such foreign
8insurer's state or country of domicile, net of all credits
9allowed or (ii) a rate of zero if no such tax is imposed on
10such income by the foreign insurer's state of domicile. For
11the purposes of this subsection (d-1), an inter-affiliate

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
17        foreign insurer under this Act for a taxable year, net
18        of all credits allowed under this Act, plus
19            (B) the privilege tax imposed by Section 409 of
20        the Illinois Insurance Code, the fire insurance

SB2531 Engrossed- 10 -LRB102 15312 HLH 20668 b

1    December 31, 2003, of the net taxable premiums written for
2    the taxable year, as described by subsection (1) of
3    Section 409 of the Illinois Insurance Code. This paragraph
4    will in no event increase the rates imposed under
5    subsections (b) and (d).
6        (2) Any reduction in the rates of tax imposed by this
7    subsection shall be applied first against the rates
8    imposed by subsection (b) and only after the tax imposed
9    by subsection (a) net of all credits allowed under this
10    Section other than the credit allowed under subsection (i)
11    has been reduced to zero, against the rates imposed by
12    subsection (d).
13    This subsection (d-1) is exempt from the provisions of
14Section 250.
15    (e) Investment credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a
16credit against the Personal Property Tax Replacement Income
17Tax for investment in qualified property.
18        (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to .5%
19    of the basis of qualified property placed in service
20    during the taxable year, provided such property is placed
21    in service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed
22    an additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of
23    qualified property placed in service during the taxable
24    year, provided such property is placed in service on or
25    after July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment
26    within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the

 

 

SB2531 Engrossed- 11 -LRB102 15312 HLH 20668 b

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

 

 

SB2531 Engrossed- 12 -LRB102 15312 HLH 20668 b

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

 

 

SB2531 Engrossed- 13 -LRB102 15312 HLH 20668 b

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

 

 

SB2531 Engrossed- 14 -LRB102 15312 HLH 20668 b

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

 

 

SB2531 Engrossed- 15 -LRB102 15312 HLH 20668 b

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

 

 

SB2531 Engrossed- 16 -LRB102 15312 HLH 20668 b

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

12            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
13        buildings and structural components of buildings;
14            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the

10        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
11    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
12        (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to

16    Zone or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months
17    after being placed in service, the tax imposed under
18    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable
19    year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
20    by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
21    been allowed for the year in which credit for such
22    property was originally allowed by eliminating such
23    property from such computation, and (ii) subtracting such
24    recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
25    allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (6), a

4        (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
5    to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
6    service during the taxable year in a River Edge

9    employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more
10    over the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's

13    shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
14    employment for the first year in which they file
15    employment records with the Illinois Department of
16    Employment Security. If, in any year, the increase in base
17    employment within Illinois over the preceding year is less
18    than 1%, the additional credit shall be limited to that
19    percentage times a fraction, the numerator of which is
20    0.5% and the denominator of which is 1%, but shall not
21    exceed 0.5%.
22        (8) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1,
23    2021, there shall be allowed an Enterprise Zone

3allowable under Section 41 of the Internal Revenue Code and
4which are conducted in this State, "qualifying expenditures
5for increasing research activities in this State" means the
6excess of qualifying expenditures for the taxable year in
7which incurred over qualifying expenditures for the base
8period, "qualifying expenditures for the base period" means
9the average of the qualifying expenditures for each year in

14year may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
15unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over
16as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
17taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever
18occurs first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year
19ending prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any
20year ending on or after December 31, 2003.
21    If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
222 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
23year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
24given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
25remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
26applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax

3following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
4that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
5than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
6credit is given was incurred.
7    No inference shall be drawn from Public Act 91-644 this

8    of the eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit
9    is not available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any
10    related party caused or contributed to, in any material
11    respect, a release of regulated substances on, in, or

8    the electing partnership or Subchapter S corporation, but
9    not to exceed the partner's or shareholder's share of the

11    the partnership or Subchapter S corporation. If the
12    taxpayer is a partnership or Subchapter S corporation that
13    is itself a partner of a partnership making the election
14    under paragraph (1), the credit under this paragraph shall
15    be allowed to the taxpayer's partners or shareholders (or

17    corporation then its partners or shareholders) in
18    accordance with the determination of income and

2    corporation for a taxable year for which an election is in
3    effect under paragraph (1) shall not be required to file
4    an income tax return under this Act for such taxable year
5    if the only source of net income of the individual (or the
6    individual and the individual's spouse in the case of a
7    joint return) is from an entity making the election under
8    paragraph (1) and the credit allowed to the partner or
9    shareholder under paragraph (4) equals or exceeds the
10    individual's liability for the tax imposed under
11    subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of this Act for the
12    taxable year.
13        (6) Liability for tax. Except as provided in this
14    paragraph, a partnership or Subchapter S making the
15    election under paragraph (1) is liable for the
16    entity-level tax imposed under paragraph (2). If the
17    electing partnership or corporation fails to pay the full
18    amount of tax deemed assessed under paragraph (2), the
19    partners or shareholders shall be liable to pay the tax
20    assessed (including penalties and interest). Each partner
21    or shareholder shall be liable for the unpaid assessment
22    based on the ratio of the partner's or shareholder's share
23    of the net income of the partnership over the total net
24    income of the partnership. If the partnership or
25    Subchapter S corporation fails to pay the tax assessed
26    (including penalties and interest) and thereafter an

 

 

SB2531 Engrossed- 44 -LRB102 15312 HLH 20668 b

1    amount of such tax is paid by the partners or
2    shareholders, such amount shall not be collected from the
3    partnership or corporation.
4        (7) Foreign tax. For purposes of the credit allowed
5    under Section 601(b)(3) of this Act, tax paid by a
6    partnership or Subchapter S corporation to another state
7    which, as determined by the Department, is substantially
8    similar to the tax imposed under this subsection, shall be
9    considered tax paid by the partner or shareholder to the
10    extent that the partner's or shareholder's share of the
11    income of the partnership or Subchapter S corporation
12    allocated and apportioned to such other state bears to the
13    total income of the partnership or Subchapter S
14    corporation allocated or apportioned to such other state.
15        (8) Suspension of withholding. The provisions of
16    Section 709.5 of this Act shall not apply to a partnership
17    or Subchapter S corporation for the taxable year for which
18    an election under paragraph (1) is in effect.
19        (9) Requirement to pay estimated tax. For each taxable
20    year for which an election under paragraph (1) is in
21    effect, a partnership or Subchapter S corporation is
22    required to pay estimated tax for such taxable year under
23    Sections 803 and 804 of this Act if the amount payable as
24    estimated tax can reasonably be expected to exceed $500.

26on or after December 31, 1999, the sum of the rates of tax

 

 

SB2531 Engrossed- 53 -LRB102 15312 HLH 20668 b

1imposed by subsections (b) and (d) shall be reduced (but not
2increased) to the rate at which the total amount of tax imposed
3under this Act, net of all credits allowed under this Act,
4shall equal (i) the total amount of tax that would be imposed
5on the foreign insurer's net income allocable to Illinois for
6the taxable year by such foreign insurer's state or country of
7domicile if that net income were subject to all income taxes
8and taxes measured by net income imposed by such foreign
9insurer's state or country of domicile, net of all credits
10allowed or (ii) a rate of zero if no such tax is imposed on
11such income by the foreign insurer's state of domicile. For

14        (1) For the purposes of subsection (d-1), in no event

18        foreign insurer under this Act for a taxable year, net
19        of all credits allowed under this Act, plus
20            (B) the privilege tax imposed by Section 409 of

2    December 31, 2003, of the net taxable premiums written for
3    the taxable year, as described by subsection (1) of
4    Section 409 of the Illinois Insurance Code. This paragraph
5    will in no event increase the rates imposed under
6    subsections (b) and (d).
7        (2) Any reduction in the rates of tax imposed by this
8    subsection shall be applied first against the rates
9    imposed by subsection (b) and only after the tax imposed
10    by subsection (a) net of all credits allowed under this
11    Section other than the credit allowed under subsection (i)
12    has been reduced to zero, against the rates imposed by
13    subsection (d).

20    of the basis of qualified property placed in service
21    during the taxable year, provided such property is placed
22    in service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed
23    an additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of
24    qualified property placed in service during the taxable
25    year, provided such property is placed in service on or
26    after July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment

 

 

SB2531 Engrossed- 55 -LRB102 15312 HLH 20668 b

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

 

 

SB2531 Engrossed- 56 -LRB102 15312 HLH 20668 b

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

 

 

SB2531 Engrossed- 57 -LRB102 15312 HLH 20668 b

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

 

 

SB2531 Engrossed- 58 -LRB102 15312 HLH 20668 b

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

 

 

SB2531 Engrossed- 59 -LRB102 15312 HLH 20668 b

1    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
2        (7) 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 Illinois within 48
6    months after being placed in service, the Personal
7    Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year
8    shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined by
9    (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
10    been allowed for the year in which credit for such
11    property was originally allowed by eliminating such
12    property from such computation and, (ii) subtracting such
13    recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
14    allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (7), a
15    reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
16    from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be
17    deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
18    of such reduction.
19        (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
20    the basis of qualified property shall not include costs
21    incurred after December 31, 2018, except for costs
22    incurred pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or
23    before December 31, 2018.
24        (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000,
25    a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners
26    the credits to which the partnership is entitled under

 

 

SB2531 Engrossed- 60 -LRB102 15312 HLH 20668 b

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

 

 

SB2531 Engrossed- 61 -LRB102 15312 HLH 20668 b

1    paragraph is exempt from the provisions of Section 250.
2    (f) Investment credit; Enterprise Zone; River Edge
3Redevelopment Zone.
4        (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the

6    investment in qualified property which is placed in
7    service in an Enterprise Zone created pursuant to the
8    Illinois Enterprise Zone Act or, for property placed in
9    service on or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge
10    Redevelopment Zone established pursuant to the River Edge
11    Redevelopment Zone Act. For partners, shareholders of
12    Subchapter S corporations, and owners of limited liability
13    companies, if the liability company is treated as a
14    partnership for purposes of federal and State income
15    taxation, there shall be allowed a credit under this
16    subsection (f) to be determined in accordance with the
17    determination of income and distributive share of income
18    under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the
19    Internal Revenue Code. The credit shall be .5% of the
20    basis for such property. The credit shall be available
21    only in the taxable year in which the property is placed in
22    service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge Redevelopment
23    Zone and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
24    reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by
25    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. For
26    tax years ending on or after December 31, 1985, the credit

 

 

SB2531 Engrossed- 62 -LRB102 15312 HLH 20668 b

1    shall be allowed for the tax year in which the property is
2    placed in service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds
3    the tax liability for that year, whether it exceeds the
4    original liability or the liability as later amended, such
5    excess may be carried forward and applied to the tax
6    liability of the 5 taxable years following the excess
7    credit year. The credit shall be applied to the earliest
8    year for which there is a liability. If there is credit
9    from more than one tax year that is available to offset a
10    liability, the credit accruing first in time shall be
11    applied first.
12        (2) The term qualified property means property which:
13            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
14        buildings and structural components of buildings;
15            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
16        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
17        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
18        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
19        (f);
20            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section

SB2531 Engrossed- 63 -LRB102 15312 HLH 20668 b

1        subsection (e).
2        (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
3    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal

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

3    deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
4    of such reduction.
5        (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
6    to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
7    service during the taxable year in a River Edge
8    Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
9    service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
10    employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more
11    over the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
12    employment records filed with the Illinois Department of
13    Employment Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois
14    shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
15    employment for the first year in which they file
16    employment records with the Illinois Department of
17    Employment Security. If, in any year, the increase in base
18    employment within Illinois over the preceding year is less
19    than 1%, the additional credit shall be limited to that
20    percentage times a fraction, the numerator of which is
21    0.5% and the denominator of which is 1%, but shall not
22    exceed 0.5%.
23        (8) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1,
24    2021, there shall be allowed an Enterprise Zone
25    construction jobs credit against the taxes imposed under

3    liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or
4    credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may
5    be carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's
6    liability in succeeding calendar years in the same manner
7    provided under paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act.
8    The credit or credits shall be applied to the earliest
9    year for which there is a tax liability. If there are
10    credits from more than one taxable year that are available
11    to offset a liability, the earlier credit shall be applied
12    first.
13        For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
14    corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
15    if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
16    the purposes of federal and State income taxation, there
17    shall be allowed a credit under this Section to be
18    determined in accordance with the determination of income
19    and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and
20    704 and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.

10    excess may be carried forward and applied to the tax
11    liability of the 5 taxable years following the excess
12    credit year. The credit shall be applied to the earliest

7        (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
8    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal

10        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income
11    tax depreciation purposes is increased after it has been
12    placed in service in a federally designated Foreign Trade
13    Zone or Sub-Zone located in Illinois by the taxpayer, the
14    amount of such increase shall be deemed property placed in
15    service on the date of such increase in basis.
16        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
17    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
18        (6) If during any taxable year ending on or before

22    qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
23    months after being placed in service, the tax imposed

1    would have been allowed for the year in which credit for
2    such property was originally allowed by eliminating such
3    property from such computation, and (ii) subtracting such
4    recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
5    allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (6), a
6    reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
7    from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be
8    deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
9    of such reduction.
10        (7) Beginning with tax years ending after December 31,
11    1996, if a taxpayer qualifies for the credit under this
12    subsection (h) and thereby is granted a tax abatement and

4applied first to the earliest year for which there is a
5liability. If there is a credit under this subsection from
6more than one tax year that is available to offset a liability,
7the earliest credit arising under this subsection shall be
8applied first. No carryforward credit may be claimed in any

19occurs first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year
20ending prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any
21year ending on or after December 31, 2003.
22    If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
232 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest

SB2531 Engrossed- 75 -LRB102 15312 HLH 20668 b

1applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
2liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused

4following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
5that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
6than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
7credit is given was incurred.

10    with a maximum total of $150,000 per site. For partners

17    corporation may elect to apply the provisions of this
18    subsection. A separate election shall be made for each
19    taxable year. Such election shall be made at such time,
20    and in such form and manner as prescribed by the
21    Department, and, once made, is irrevocable.
22        (2) Entity-level tax. A partnership or Subchapter S
23    corporation electing to apply the provisions of this
24    subsection shall be subject to a tax for the privilege of
25    earning or receiving income in this State in an amount

SB2531 Engrossed- 85 -LRB102 15312 HLH 20668 b

1    taxable year.
2        (3) Net income defined.
3            (A) In general. For purposes of paragraph (2), the
4        term net income has the same meaning as defined in
5        Section 202 of this Act, except that the following
6        provisions shall not apply:
7                (i) the standard exemption allowed under
8            Section 204;
9                (ii) the deduction for net losses allowed
10            under Section 207;
11                (iii) in the case of an S corporation, the

13                (iv) in the case of a partnership, the
14            modifications under Section 203(d)(2)(H) and
15            Section 203(d)(2)(I).
16            (B) Special rule for tiered partnerships. If a
17        taxpayer making the election under paragraph (1) is a
18        partner of another taxpayer making the election under
19        paragraph (1), net income shall be computed as
20        provided in subparagraph (A), except that the taxpayer
21        shall subtract its distributive share of the net
22        income of the electing partnership (including its
23        distributive share of the net income of the electing
24        partnership derived as a distributive share from
25        electing partnerships in which it is a partner).
26        (4) Credit for entity level tax. Each partner or

 

 

SB2531 Engrossed- 86 -LRB102 15312 HLH 20668 b

1    shareholder of a taxpayer making the election under this
2    Section shall be allowed a credit against the tax imposed
3    under subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of this Act
4    for the taxable year of the partnership or Subchapter S
5    corporation for which an election is in effect ending
6    within or with the taxable year of the partner or
7    shareholder in an amount equal to 4.95% times the partner
8    or shareholder's distributive share of the net income of
9    the electing partnership or Subchapter S corporation, but
10    not to exceed the partner's or shareholder's share of the
11    tax imposed under paragraph (1) which is actually paid by
12    the partnership or Subchapter S corporation. If the
13    taxpayer is a partnership or Subchapter S corporation that
14    is itself a partner of a partnership making the election
15    under paragraph (1), the credit under this paragraph shall
16    be allowed to the taxpayer's partners or shareholders (or
17    if the partner is a partnership or Subchapter S
18    corporation then its partners or shareholders) in
19    accordance with the determination of income and
20    distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
21    and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. If the
22    amount of the credit allowed under this paragraph exceeds
23    the partner's or shareholder's liability for tax imposed
24    under subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of this Act
25    for the taxable year, such excess shall be treated as an
26    overpayment for purposes of Section 909 of this Act.

1        (5) Nonresidents. A nonresident individual who is a
2    partner or shareholder of a partnership or Subchapter S
3    corporation for a taxable year for which an election is in
4    effect under paragraph (1) shall not be required to file
5    an income tax return under this Act for such taxable year
6    if the only source of net income of the individual (or the
7    individual and the individual's spouse in the case of a
8    joint return) is from an entity making the election under
9    paragraph (1) and the credit allowed to the partner or
10    shareholder under paragraph (4) equals or exceeds the
11    individual's liability for the tax imposed under
12    subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of this Act for the
13    taxable year.
14        (6) Liability for tax. Except as provided in this
15    paragraph, a partnership or Subchapter S making the
16    election under paragraph (1) is liable for the
17    entity-level tax imposed under paragraph (2). If the
18    electing partnership or corporation fails to pay the full
19    amount of tax deemed assessed under paragraph (2), the
20    partners or shareholders shall be liable to pay the tax
21    assessed (including penalties and interest). Each partner
22    or shareholder shall be liable for the unpaid assessment
23    based on the ratio of the partner's or shareholder's share
24    of the net income of the partnership over the total net
25    income of the partnership. If the partnership or
26    Subchapter S corporation fails to pay the tax assessed

 

 

SB2531 Engrossed- 88 -LRB102 15312 HLH 20668 b

1    (including penalties and interest) and thereafter an
2    amount of such tax is paid by the partners or
3    shareholders, such amount shall not be collected from the
4    partnership or corporation.
5        (7) Foreign tax. For purposes of the credit allowed
6    under Section 601(b)(3) of this Act, tax paid by a
7    partnership or Subchapter S corporation to another state
8    which, as determined by the Department, is substantially
9    similar to the tax imposed under this subsection, shall be
10    considered tax paid by the partner or shareholder to the
11    extent that the partner's or shareholder's share of the
12    income of the partnership or Subchapter S corporation
13    allocated and apportioned to such other state bears to the
14    total income of the partnership or Subchapter S
15    corporation allocated or apportioned to such other state.
16        (8) Suspension of withholding. The provisions of
17    Section 709.5 of this Act shall not apply to a partnership
18    or Subchapter S corporation for the taxable year for which
19    an election under paragraph (1) is in effect.
20        (9) Requirement to pay estimated tax. For each taxable
21    year for which an election under paragraph (1) is in
22    effect, a partnership or Subchapter S corporation is
23    required to pay estimated tax for such taxable year under
24    Sections 803 and 804 of this Act if the amount payable as
25    estimated tax can reasonably be expected to exceed $500.
