20 income on every corporation (including Subchapter S
21 corporations), partnership and trust, for each taxable year

28 or by any municipal corporation or political subdivision
29 thereof.

5 corporation shall be an additional amount equal to 1.5% of
6 such taxpayer's net income for the taxable year.
7 (e) Investment credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a
8 credit against the Personal Property Tax Replacement Income
9 Tax for investment in qualified property.
10 (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to
11 .5% of the basis of qualified property placed in service
12 during the taxable year, provided such property is placed
13 in service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be
14 allowed an additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of
15 qualified property placed in service during the taxable
16 year, provided such property is placed in service on or
17 after July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment
18 within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the
19 preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's employment
20 records filed with the Illinois Department of Employment
21 Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be
22 deemed to have met the 1% growth in base employment for
23 the first year in which they file employment records with
24 the Illinois Department of Employment Security. The
25 provisions added to this Section by Public Act 85-1200
26 (and restored by Public Act 87-895) shall be construed as
27 declaratory of existing law and not as a new enactment.
28 If, in any year, the increase in base employment within
29 Illinois over the preceding year is less than 1%, the
30 additional credit shall be limited to that percentage
31 times a fraction, the numerator of which is .5% and the
32 denominator of which is 1%, but shall not exceed .5%.
33 The investment credit shall not be allowed to the extent
34 that it would reduce a taxpayer's liability in any tax
SB1291 Engrossed -4- LRB9007338KDks
1 year below zero, nor may any credit for qualified
2 property be allowed for any year other than the year in
3 which the property was placed in service in Illinois. For
4 tax years ending on or after December 31, 1987, and on or
5 before December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for
6 the tax year in which the property is placed in service,
7 or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
8 for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability
9 or the liability as later amended, such excess may be
10 carried forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5
11 taxable years following the excess credit years if the
12 taxpayer (i) makes investments which cause the creation
13 of a minimum of 2,000 full-time equivalent jobs in
14 Illinois, (ii) is located in an enterprise zone
15 established pursuant to the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act
16 and (iii) is certified by the Department of Commerce and
17 Community Affairs as complying with the requirements
18 specified in clause (i) and (ii) by July 1, 1986. The
19 Department of Commerce and Community Affairs shall notify
20 the Department of Revenue of all such certifications
21 immediately. For tax years ending after December 31,
22 1988, the credit shall be allowed for the tax year in
23 which the property is placed in service, or, if the
24 amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability for that
25 year, whether it exceeds the original liability or the
26 liability as later amended, such excess may be carried
27 forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable
28 years following the excess credit years. The credit shall
29 be applied to the earliest year for which there is a
30 liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
31 that is available to offset a liability, earlier credit
32 shall be applied first.
33 (2) The term "qualified property" means property
34 which:
SB1291 Engrossed -5- LRB9007338KDks
1 (A) is tangible, whether new or used,
2 including buildings and structural components of
3 buildings and signs that are real property, but not
4 including land or improvements to real property that
5 are not a structural component of a building such as
6 landscaping, sewer lines, local access roads,
7 fencing, parking lots, and other appurtenances;
8 (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of
9 the Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year
10 property" as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that
11 Code is not eligible for the credit provided by this
12 subsection (e);
13 (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in
14 Section 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
17 coal or fluorite, or in retailing; and
18 (E) has not previously been used in Illinois
19 in such a manner and by such a person as would
20 qualify for the credit provided by this subsection
21 (e) or subsection (f).
22 (3) For purposes of this subsection (e),
23 "manufacturing" means the material staging and production
24 of tangible personal property by procedures commonly
25 regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabrication, or
26 assembling which changes some existing material into new
27 shapes, new qualities, or new combinations. For purposes
28 of this subsection (e) the term "mining" shall have the
29 same meaning as the term "mining" in Section 613(c) of
30 the Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this
31 subsection (e), the term "retailing" means the sale of
32 tangible personal property or services rendered in
33 conjunction with the sale of tangible consumer goods or
34 commodities.
SB1291 Engrossed -6- LRB9007338KDks
1 (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the
2 basis used to compute the depreciation deduction for
3 federal income tax purposes.
4 (5) If the basis of the property for federal income
5 tax depreciation purposes is increased after it has been
6 placed in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount
7 of such increase shall be deemed property placed in
8 service on the date of such increase in basis.
9 (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the
10 same meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue
11 Code.
12 (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases
13 to be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer
14 within 48 months after being placed in service, or the
15 situs of any qualified property is moved outside Illinois
16 within 48 months after being placed in service, the
17 Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for such
18 taxable year shall be increased. Such increase shall be
19 determined by (i) recomputing the investment credit which
20 would have been allowed for the year in which credit for
21 such property was originally allowed by eliminating such
22 property from such computation and, (ii) subtracting such
23 recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
24 allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (7), a
25 reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
26 from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be
27 deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
28 of such reduction.
29 (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by
30 law, the basis of qualified property shall not include
31 costs incurred after December 31, 2003, except for costs
32 incurred pursuant to a binding contract entered into on
33 or before December 31, 2003.
34 (9) Each taxable year, a partnership may elect to
SB1291 Engrossed -7- LRB9007338KDks
1 pass through to its partners the credits to which the
2 partnership is entitled under this subsection (e) for the
3 taxable year. A partner may use the credit allocated to
4 him or her under this paragraph only against the tax
5 imposed in subsections (c) and (d) of this Section. If
6 the partnership makes that election, those credits shall
7 be allocated among the partners in the partnership in
8 accordance with the rules set forth in Section 704(b) of
9 the Internal Revenue Code, and the rules promulgated
10 under that Section, and the allocated amount of the
11 credits shall be allowed to the partners for that taxable
12 year. The partnership shall make this election on its
13 Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax return for
14 that taxable year. The election to pass through the
15 credits shall be irrevocable.
16 (f) Investment credit; Enterprise Zone.
17 (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against
18 the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this
19 Section for investment in qualified property which is
20 placed in service in an Enterprise Zone created pursuant
21 to the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act. For partners and for
22 shareholders of Subchapter S corporations, there shall be
23 allowed a credit under this subsection (f) to be
24 determined in accordance with the determination of income
25 and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and
26 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. The
27 credit shall be .5% of the basis for such property. The
28 credit shall be available only in the taxable year in
29 which the property is placed in service in the Enterprise
30 Zone and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
31 reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by
32 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero.
33 For tax years ending on or after December 31, 1985, the
34 credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
SB1291 Engrossed -8- LRB9007338KDks
1 property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
2 credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether
3 it exceeds the original liability or the liability as
4 later amended, such excess may be carried forward and
5 applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable years
6 following the excess credit year. The credit shall be
7 applied to the earliest year for which there is a
8 liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
9 that is available to offset a liability, the credit
10 accruing first in time shall be applied first.
11 (2) The term qualified property means property
12 which:
13 (A) is tangible, whether new or used,
14 including buildings and structural components of
15 buildings;
16 (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of
17 the Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year
18 property" as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that
19 Code is not eligible for the credit provided by this
20 subsection (f);
21 (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in
22 Section 179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
23 (D) is used in the Enterprise Zone by the
24 taxpayer; and
25 (E) has not been previously used in Illinois
26 in such a manner and by such a person as would
27 qualify for the credit provided by this subsection
28 (f) or subsection (e).
29 (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the
30 basis used to compute the depreciation deduction for
31 federal income tax purposes.
32 (4) If the basis of the property for federal income
33 tax depreciation purposes is increased after it has been
34 placed in service in the Enterprise Zone by the taxpayer,
SB1291 Engrossed -9- LRB9007338KDks
1 the amount of such increase shall be deemed property
2 placed in service on the date of such increase in basis.
3 (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the
4 same meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue
5 Code.
6 (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases
7 to be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer
8 within 48 months after being placed in service, or the
9 situs of any qualified property is moved outside the
10 Enterprise Zone within 48 months after being placed in
11 service, the tax imposed under subsections (a) and (b) of
12 this Section for such taxable year shall be increased.
13 Such increase shall be determined by (i) recomputing the
14 investment credit which would have been allowed for the
15 year in which credit for such property was originally
16 allowed by eliminating such property from such
17 computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
18 from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
19 purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the basis
20 of qualified property resulting from a redetermination of
21 the purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of
22 qualified property to the extent of such reduction.
23 (g) Jobs Tax Credit; Enterprise Zone and Foreign
24 Trade Zone or Sub-Zone.
25 (1) A taxpayer conducting a trade or business in an
26 enterprise zone or a High Impact Business designated by

7 full-time employees beyond the total employed in
8 that zone at the end of the previous tax year for
9 which a jobs tax credit under this Section was
10 taken, or beyond the total employed by the taxpayer
11 as of December 31, 1985, whichever is later; and
12 (C) the eligible employees must be employed
13 180 consecutive days in order to be deemed hired for
14 purposes of this subsection.
15 (3) An "eligible employee" means an employee who
16 is:
17 (A) Certified by the Department of Commerce
18 and Community Affairs as "eligible for services"
19 pursuant to regulations promulgated in accordance
20 with Title II of the Job Training Partnership Act,

28 (C) Employed in the enterprise zone or Foreign
29 Trade Zone or Sub-Zone. An employee is employed in

5 are hired. For tax years ending on or after December 31,

7 immediately following the tax year in which the eligible
8 employees are hired. If the amount of the credit exceeds
9 the tax liability for that year, whether it exceeds the
10 original liability or the liability as later amended,
11 such excess may be carried forward and applied to the tax
12 liability of the 5 taxable years following the excess
13 credit year. The credit shall be applied to the earliest
14 year for which there is a liability. If there is credit
15 from more than one tax year that is available to offset a
16 liability, earlier credit shall be applied first.
17 (5) The Department of Revenue shall promulgate such
18 rules and regulations as may be deemed necessary to carry

20 (6) The credit shall be available for eligible
21 employees hired on or after January 1, 1986.

27 which is placed in service by a Department of Commerce
28 and Community Affairs designated High Impact Business.
29 The credit shall be .5% of the basis for such property.
30 The credit shall not be available until the minimum
31 investments in qualified property set forth in Section
32 5.5 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act have been
33 satisfied and shall not be allowed to the extent that it
34 would reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed
SB1291 Engrossed -12- LRB9007338KDks
1 by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero.
2 The credit applicable to such minimum investments shall
3 be taken in the taxable year in which such minimum
4 investments have been completed. The credit for
5 additional investments beyond the minimum investment by a
6 designated high impact business shall be available only
7 in the taxable year in which the property is placed in
8 service and shall not be allowed to the extent that it
9 would reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed
10 by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero.
11 For tax years ending on or after December 31, 1987, the
12 credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
13 property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
14 credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether
15 it exceeds the original liability or the liability as
16 later amended, such excess may be carried forward and
17 applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable years
18 following the excess credit year. The credit shall be
19 applied to the earliest year for which there is a
20 liability. If there is credit from more than one tax
21 year that is available to offset a liability, the credit
22 accruing first in time shall be applied first.
23 Changes made in this subdivision (h)(1) by Public
24 Act 88-670 restore changes made by Public Act 85-1182 and
25 reflect existing law.
26 (2) The term qualified property means property
27 which:
28 (A) is tangible, whether new or used,
29 including buildings and structural components of
30 buildings;
31 (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of
32 the Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year
33 property" as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that
34 Code is not eligible for the credit provided by this
SB1291 Engrossed -13- LRB9007338KDks
1 subsection (h);
2 (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in
3 Section 179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code; and
4 (D) is not eligible for the Enterprise Zone
5 Investment Credit provided by subsection (f) of this
6 Section.
7 (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the
8 basis used to compute the depreciation deduction for
9 federal income tax purposes.
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
15 in service on the date of such increase in basis.
16 (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the
17 same meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue
18 Code.
19 (6) If during any taxable year ending on or before
20 December 31, 1996, any property ceases to be qualified
21 property in the hands of the taxpayer within 48 months
22 after being placed in service, or the situs of any
23 qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
24 months after being placed in service, the tax imposed
25 under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such
26 taxable year shall be increased. Such increase shall be
27 determined by (i) recomputing the investment credit which
28 would have been allowed for the year in which credit for
29 such property was originally allowed by eliminating such
30 property from such computation, and (ii) subtracting such
31 recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
32 allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (6), a
33 reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
34 from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be
SB1291 Engrossed -14- LRB9007338KDks
1 deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
2 of such reduction.
3 (7) Beginning with tax years ending after December
4 31, 1996, if a taxpayer qualifies for the credit under
5 this subsection (h) and thereby is granted a tax
6 abatement and the taxpayer relocates its entire facility
7 in violation of the explicit terms and length of the
8 contract under Section 18-183 of the Property Tax Code,
9 the tax imposed under subsections (a) and (b) of this
10 Section shall be increased for the taxable year in which
11 the taxpayer relocated its facility by an amount equal to
12 the amount of credit received by the taxpayer under this
13 subsection (h).
14 (i) A credit shall be allowed against the tax imposed by
15 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for the tax imposed
16 by subsections (c) and (d) of this Section. This credit
17 shall be computed by multiplying the tax imposed by
18 subsections (c) and (d) of this Section by a fraction, the
19 numerator of which is base income allocable to Illinois and
20 the denominator of which is Illinois base income, and further
21 multiplying the product by the tax rate imposed by
22 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section.
23 Any credit earned on or after December 31, 1986 under
24 this subsection which is unused in the year the credit is
25 computed because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by
26 subsections (a) and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the
27 original liability or the liability as later amended) may be
28 carried forward and applied to the tax liability imposed by
29 subsections (a) and (b) of the 5 taxable years following the
30 excess credit year. This credit shall be applied first to
31 the earliest year for which there is a liability. If there
32 is a credit under this subsection from more than one tax year
33 that is available to offset a liability the earliest credit
34 arising under this subsection shall be applied first.
SB1291 Engrossed -15- LRB9007338KDks
1 If, during any taxable year ending on or after December
2 31, 1986, the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
3 Section for which a taxpayer has claimed a credit under this
4 subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of credit for such tax
5 shall also be reduced. Such reduction shall be determined by
6 recomputing the credit to take into account the reduced tax
7 imposed by subsection (c) and (d). If any portion of the
8 reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different
9 taxable year, an amended return shall be filed for such
10 taxable year to reduce the amount of credit claimed.
11 (j) Training expense credit. Beginning with tax years
12 ending on or after December 31, 1986, a taxpayer shall be
13 allowed a credit against the tax imposed by subsection (a)
14 and (b) under this Section for all amounts paid or accrued,
15 on behalf of all persons employed by the taxpayer in Illinois
16 or Illinois residents employed outside of Illinois by a
17 taxpayer, for educational or vocational training in
18 semi-technical or technical fields or semi-skilled or skilled
19 fields, which were deducted from gross income in the
20 computation of taxable income. The credit against the tax
21 imposed by subsections (a) and (b) shall be 1.6% of such
22 training expenses. For partners and for shareholders of
23 subchapter S corporations, there shall be allowed a credit
24 under this subsection (j) to be determined in accordance with
25 the determination of income and distributive share of income
26 under Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the Internal

28 Any credit allowed under this subsection which is unused

30 each of the 5 taxable years following the year for which the
31 credit is first computed until it is used. This credit shall
32 be applied first to the earliest year for which there is a
33 liability. If there is a credit under this subsection from
34 more than one tax year that is available to offset a
SB1291 Engrossed -16- LRB9007338KDks
1 liability the earliest credit arising under this subsection
2 shall be applied first.

4 Beginning with tax years ending after July 1, 1990, a
5 taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the tax imposed by

7 research activities in this State. The credit allowed
8 against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) shall be
9 equal to 6 1/2% of the qualifying expenditures for increasing
10 research activities in this State.
11 For purposes of this subsection, "qualifying
12 expenditures" means the qualifying expenditures as defined
13 for the federal credit for increasing research activities
14 which would be allowable under Section 41 of the Internal
15 Revenue Code and which are conducted in this State,
16 "qualifying expenditures for increasing research activities
17 in this State" means the excess of qualifying expenditures
18 for the taxable year in which incurred over qualifying
19 expenditures for the base period, "qualifying expenditures
20 for the base period" means the average of the qualifying
21 expenditures for each year in the base period, and "base
22 period" means the 3 taxable years immediately preceding the
23 taxable year for which the determination is being made.
24 Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the taxable
25 year may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
26 unused credit shown on its final completed return carried
27 over as a credit against the tax liability for the following
28 5 taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever
29 occurs first.
30 If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year
31 from 2 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the
32 earliest year will be applied first against the tax liability
33 for the given year. If a tax liability for the given year
34 still remains, the credit from the next earliest year will
SB1291 Engrossed -17- LRB9007338KDks
1 then be applied, and so on, until all credits have been used
2 or no tax liability for the given year remains. Any
3 remaining unused credit or credits then will be carried
4 forward to the next following year in which a tax liability
5 is incurred, except that no credit can be carried forward to
6 a year which is more than 5 years after the year in which the
7 expense for which the credit is given was incurred.
8 Unless extended by law, the credit shall not include
9 costs incurred after December 31, 1999, except for costs
10 incurred pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or
11 before December 31, 1999.
12 (l) Environmental Remediation Tax Credit.

14 and on or before December 31, 2001, a taxpayer shall be
15 allowed a credit against the tax imposed by subsections
16 (a) and (b) of this Section for certain amounts paid for
17 unreimbursed eligible remediation costs, as specified in
18 this subsection. For purposes of this Section,
19 "unreimbursed eligible remediation costs" means costs
20 approved by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
21 ("Agency") under Section 58.14 of the Environmental
22 Protection Act that were paid in performing environmental
23 remediation at a site for which a No Further Remediation
24 Letter was issued by the Agency and recorded under
25 Section 58.10 of the Environmental Protection Act, and
26 does not mean approved eligible remediation costs that
27 are at any time deducted under the provisions of the
28 Internal Revenue Code. The credit must be claimed for
29 the taxable year in which Agency approval of the eligible
30 remediation costs is granted. In no event shall
31 unreimbursed eligible remediation costs include any costs
32 taken into account in calculating an environmental
33 remediation credit granted against a tax imposed under
34 the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The credit
SB1291 Engrossed -18- LRB9007338KDks
1 is not available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any
2 related party caused or contributed to, in any material
3 respect, a release of regulated substances on, in, or
4 under the site that was identified and addressed by the
5 remedial action pursuant to the Site Remediation Program
6 of the Environmental Protection Act. After the Pollution
7 Control Board rules are adopted pursuant to the Illinois
8 Administrative Procedure Act for the administration and
9 enforcement of Section 58.9 of the Environmental
10 Protection Act, determinations as to credit availability
11 for purposes of this Section shall be made consistent
12 with those rules. For purposes of this Section,
13 "taxpayer" includes a person whose tax attributes the
14 taxpayer has succeeded to under Section 381 of the
15 Internal Revenue Code and "related party" includes the
16 persons disallowed a deduction for losses by paragraphs
17 (b), (c), and (f)(1) of Section 267 of the Internal
18 Revenue Code by virtue of being a related taxpayer, as
19 well as any of its partners. The credit allowed against
20 the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) shall be equal
21 to 25% of the unreimbursed eligible remediation costs in
22 excess of $100,000 per site, except that the $100,000
23 threshold shall not apply to any site contained in an
24 enterprise zone and located in a census tract that is
25 located in a minor civil division and place or county
26 that has been determined by the Department of Commerce
27 and Community Affairs to contain a majority of households
28 consisting of low and moderate income persons. The total
29 credit allowed shall not exceed $40,000 per year with a
30 maximum total of $150,000 per site. For partners and
31 shareholders of subchapter S corporations, there shall be
32 allowed a credit under this subsection to be determined
33 in accordance with the determination of income and
34 distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
SB1291 Engrossed -19- LRB9007338KDks
1 of subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.
2 (ii) A credit allowed under this subsection that is
3 unused in the year the credit is earned may be carried
4 forward to each of the 5 taxable years following the year
5 for which the credit is first earned until it is used.
6 The term "unused credit" does not include any amounts of
7 unreimbursed eligible remediation costs in excess of the
8 maximum credit per site authorized under paragraph (i).
9 This credit shall be applied first to the earliest year
10 for which there is a liability. If there is a credit
11 under this subsection from more than one tax year that is
12 available to offset a liability, the earliest credit
13 arising under this subsection shall be applied first. A
14 credit allowed under this subsection may be sold to a
15 buyer as part of a sale of all or part of the remediation
16 site for which the credit was granted. The purchaser of
17 a remediation site and the tax credit shall succeed to
18 the unused credit and remaining carry-forward period of
19 the seller. To perfect the transfer, the assignor shall
20 record the transfer in the chain of title for the site
21 and provide written notice to the Director of the
22 Illinois Department of Revenue of the assignor's intent
23 to sell the remediation site and the amount of the tax
24 credit to be transferred as a portion of the sale. In no
25 event may a credit be transferred to any taxpayer if the
26 taxpayer or a related party would not be eligible under
27 the provisions of subsection (i).
28 (iii) For purposes of this Section, the term "site"
29 shall have the same meaning as under Section 58.2 of the
30 Environmental Protection Act.

9 1969 appreciation amount for such property is that

16 months in the taxpayer's entire holding period for
