24additional amount equal to 1.5% of such taxpayer's net income

HB3306- 8 -LRB101 08378 HLH 53447 b

9reinsurance arrangements), beginning with taxable years ending
10on or after December 31, 1999, the sum of the rates of tax
11imposed by subsections (b) and (d) shall be reduced (but not
12increased) to the rate at which the total amount of tax imposed
13under this Act, net of all credits allowed under this Act,
14shall equal (i) the total amount of tax that would be imposed
15on the foreign insurer's net income allocable to Illinois for

25 (e) Investment credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit
26against the Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for

HB3306- 10 -LRB101 08378 HLH 53447 b
1investment in qualified property.
2 (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to .5%
3 of the basis of qualified property placed in service during
4 the taxable year, provided such property is placed in
5 service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed an
6 additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of qualified
7 property placed in service during the taxable year,
8 provided such property is placed in service on or after
9 July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment within
10 Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the preceding
11 year as determined by the taxpayer's employment records
12 filed with the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
13 Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be deemed to have
14 met the 1% growth in base employment for the first year in
15 which they file employment records with the Illinois
16 Department of Employment Security. The provisions added to
17 this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored by Public
18 Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of existing
19 law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year, the
20 increase in base employment within Illinois over the
21 preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit shall
22 be limited to that percentage times a fraction, the
23 numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is
24 1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall
25 not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
26 taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may

HB3306- 11 -LRB101 08378 HLH 53447 b
1 any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year
2 other than the year in which the property was placed in
3 service in Illinois. For tax years ending on or after
4 December 31, 1987, and on or before December 31, 1988, the
5 credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
6 property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
7 credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it
8 exceeds the original liability or the liability as later
9 amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied to
10 the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the
11 excess credit years if the taxpayer (i) makes investments
12 which cause the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time
13 equivalent jobs in Illinois, (ii) is located in an
14 enterprise zone established pursuant to the Illinois
15 Enterprise Zone Act and (iii) is certified by the
16 Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
17 Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) as
18 complying with the requirements specified in clause (i) and
19 (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and
20 Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic
21 Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all
22 such certifications immediately. For tax years ending
23 after December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for
24 the tax year in which the property is placed in service,
25 or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
26 for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability or

HB3306- 12 -LRB101 08378 HLH 53447 b
1 the liability as later amended, such excess may be carried
2 forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable
3 years following the excess credit years. The credit shall
4 be applied to the earliest year for which there is a
5 liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
6 that is available to offset a liability, earlier credit
7 shall be applied first.
8 (2) The term "qualified property" means property
9 which:
10 (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
11 buildings and structural components of buildings and
12 signs that are real property, but not including land or
13 improvements to real property that are not a structural
14 component of a building such as landscaping, sewer
15 lines, local access roads, fencing, parking lots, and
16 other appurtenances;
17 (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
18 Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
19 as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
20 eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
21 (e);
22 (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
23 179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
24 (D) is used in Illinois by a taxpayer who is
25 primarily engaged in manufacturing, or in mining coal
26 or fluorite, or in retailing, or was placed in service

HB3306- 13 -LRB101 08378 HLH 53447 b
1 on or after July 1, 2006 in a River Edge Redevelopment
2 Zone established pursuant to the River Edge
3 Redevelopment Zone Act; and
4 (E) has not previously been used in Illinois in
5 such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
6 the credit provided by this subsection (e) or
7 subsection (f).
8 (3) For purposes of this subsection (e),
9 "manufacturing" means the material staging and production
10 of tangible personal property by procedures commonly
11 regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabrication, or
12 assembling which changes some existing material into new
13 shapes, new qualities, or new combinations. For purposes of
14 this subsection (e) the term "mining" shall have the same
15 meaning as the term "mining" in Section 613(c) of the
16 Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this subsection (e),
17 the term "retailing" means the sale of tangible personal
18 property for use or consumption and not for resale, or
19 services rendered in conjunction with the sale of tangible
20 personal property for use or consumption and not for
21 resale. For purposes of this subsection (e), "tangible
22 personal property" has the same meaning as when that term
23 is used in the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and, for
24 taxable years ending after December 31, 2008, does not
25 include the generation, transmission, or distribution of
26 electricity.

HB3306- 14 -LRB101 08378 HLH 53447 b
1 (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
2 used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
3 income tax purposes.
4 (5) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
5 depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
6 in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of such
7 increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
8 date of such increase in basis.
9 (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
10 meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
11 (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
12 be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
13 48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
14 any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
15 months after being placed in service, the Personal Property
16 Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year shall be
17 increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
18 recomputing the investment credit which would have been
19 allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
20 originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
21 computation and, (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
22 from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
23 purposes of this paragraph (7), a reduction of the basis of
24 qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
25 purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
26 property to the extent of such reduction.

HB3306- 15 -LRB101 08378 HLH 53447 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 incurred
4 pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or before
5 December 31, 2018.
6 (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000,
7 a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners the
8 credits to which the partnership is entitled under this
9 subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may use the
10 credit allocated to him or her under this paragraph only
11 against the tax imposed in subsections (c) and (d) of this
12 Section. If the partnership makes that election, those
13 credits shall be allocated among the partners in the
14 partnership in accordance with the rules set forth in
15 Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the rules
16 promulgated under that Section, and the allocated amount of
17 the credits shall be allowed to the partners for that
18 taxable year. The partnership shall make this election on
19 its Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax return for
20 that taxable year. The election to pass through the credits
21 shall be irrevocable.
22 For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2000,
23 a partner that qualifies its partnership for a subtraction
24 under subparagraph (I) of paragraph (2) of subsection (d)
25 of Section 203 or a shareholder that qualifies a Subchapter
26 S corporation for a subtraction under subparagraph (S) of

HB3306- 16 -LRB101 08378 HLH 53447 b
1 paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 203 shall be
2 allowed a credit under this subsection (e) equal to its
3 share of the credit earned under this subsection (e) during
4 the taxable year by the partnership or Subchapter S
5 corporation, determined in accordance with the
6 determination of income and distributive share of income
7 under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal
8 Revenue Code. This paragraph is exempt from the provisions
9 of Section 250.

14 investment in qualified property which is placed in service
15 in an Enterprise Zone created pursuant to the Illinois
16 Enterprise Zone Act or, for property placed in service on
17 or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge Redevelopment Zone
18 established pursuant to the River Edge Redevelopment Zone

20 corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
21 if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
22 purposes of federal and State income taxation, there shall
23 be allowed a credit under this subsection (f) to be

2 shall be available only in the taxable year in which the
3 property is placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or
4 River Edge Redevelopment Zone and shall not be allowed to
5 the extent that it would reduce a taxpayer's liability for
6 the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section
7 to below zero. For tax years ending on or after December
8 31, 1985, the credit shall be allowed for the tax year in
9 which the property is placed in service, or, if the amount
10 of the credit exceeds the tax liability for that year,
11 whether it exceeds the original liability or the liability
12 as later amended, such excess may be carried forward and
13 applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable years
14 following the excess credit year. The credit shall be
15 applied to the earliest year for which there is a
16 liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
17 that is available to offset a liability, the credit
18 accruing first in time shall be applied first.
19 (2) The term qualified property means property which:
20 (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
21 buildings and structural components of buildings;
22 (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
23 Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
24 as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
25 eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
26 (f);

HB3306- 18 -LRB101 08378 HLH 53447 b
1 (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
2 179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
3 (D) is used in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
4 Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer; and
5 (E) has not been previously used in Illinois in
6 such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
7 the credit provided by this subsection (f) or
8 subsection (e).
9 (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
10 used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
11 income tax purposes.
12 (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
13 depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
14 in service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
15 Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer, the amount of such
16 increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
17 date of such increase in basis.
18 (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
19 meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
20 (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
21 be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
22 48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
23 any qualified property is moved outside the Enterprise Zone
24 or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months after
25 being placed in service, the tax imposed under subsections
26 (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable year shall be

HB3306- 19 -LRB101 08378 HLH 53447 b
1 increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
2 recomputing the investment credit which would have been
3 allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
4 originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
5 computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
6 from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
7 purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the basis of
8 qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
9 purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
10 property to the extent of such reduction.
11 (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
12 to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
13 service during the taxable year in a River Edge
14 Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
15 service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
16 employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over
17 the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
18 employment records filed with the Illinois Department of
19 Employment Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois
20 shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
21 employment for the first year in which they file employment
22 records with the Illinois Department of Employment
23 Security. If, in any year, the increase in base employment
24 within Illinois over the preceding year is less than 1%,
25 the additional credit shall be limited to that percentage
26 times a fraction, the numerator of which is 0.5% and the

HB3306- 20 -LRB101 08378 HLH 53447 b
1 denominator of which is 1%, but shall not exceed 0.5%.

11 property. The credit shall not be available (i) until the
12 minimum investments in qualified property set forth in
13 subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois
14 Enterprise Zone Act have been satisfied or (ii) until the
15 time authorized in subsection (b-5) of the Illinois

17 Businesses under subdivisions (a)(3)(B), (a)(3)(C), and
18 (a)(3)(D) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone
19 Act, and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
20 reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by
21 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. The
22 credit applicable to such investments shall be taken in the
23 taxable year in which such investments have been completed.
24 The credit for additional investments beyond the minimum
25 investment by a designated high impact business authorized
26 under subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois

HB3306- 21 -LRB101 08378 HLH 53447 b
1 Enterprise Zone Act shall be available only in the taxable
2 year in which the property is placed in service and shall
3 not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
4 taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by subsections (a)
5 and (b) of this Section to below zero. For tax years ending
6 on or after December 31, 1987, the credit shall be allowed
7 for the tax year in which the property is placed in
8 service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax
9 liability for that year, whether it exceeds the original
10 liability or the liability as later amended, such excess
11 may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of
12 the 5 taxable years following the excess credit year. The
13 credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
14 there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
15 tax year that is available to offset a liability, the
16 credit accruing first in time shall be applied first.
17 Changes made in this subdivision (h)(1) by Public Act
18 88-670 restore changes made by Public Act 85-1182 and
19 reflect existing law.
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

25 as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
26 eligible for the credit provided by this subsection

HB3306- 22 -LRB101 08378 HLH 53447 b
1 (h);
2 (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
3 179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code; and

11 depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
12 in service in a federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or
13 Sub-Zone located in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of
14 such increase shall be deemed property placed in service on
15 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
19 December 31, 1996, any property ceases to be qualified
20 property in the hands of the taxpayer within 48 months
21 after being placed in service, or the situs of any
22 qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
23 months after being placed in service, the tax imposed under
24 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable
25 year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
26 by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have

HB3306- 23 -LRB101 08378 HLH 53447 b
1 been allowed for the year in which credit for such property
2 was originally allowed by eliminating such property from
3 such computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed
4 credit from the amount of credit previously allowed. For
5 the purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the
6 basis of qualified property resulting from a
7 redetermination of the purchase price shall be deemed a
8 disposition of qualified property to the extent of such
9 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
13 the taxpayer relocates its entire facility in violation of
14 the explicit terms and length of the contract under Section
15 18-183 of the Property Tax Code, the tax imposed under
16 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section shall be increased

HB3306- 24 -LRB101 08378 HLH 53447 b
1subsection (h-1), the terms "qualified property" and "placed in
2service" have the same meanings as in subsection (h). This

8(d) of this Section. This credit shall be computed by
9multiplying the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
10Section by a fraction, the numerator of which is base income
11allocable to Illinois and the denominator of which is Illinois
12base income, and further multiplying the product by the tax
13rate imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section.
14 Any credit earned on or after December 31, 1986 under this
15subsection which is unused in the year the credit is computed
16because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by subsections (a)
17and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the original
18liability or the liability as later amended) may be carried
19forward and applied to the tax liability imposed by subsections
20(a) and (b) of the 5 taxable years following the excess credit
21year, provided that no credit may be carried forward to any
22year ending on or after December 31, 2003. This credit shall be
23applied first to the earliest year for which there is a

25than one tax year that is available to offset a liability the
26earliest credit arising under this subsection shall be applied

HB3306- 25 -LRB101 08378 HLH 53447 b
1first.
2 If, during any taxable year ending on or after December 31,
31986, the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
4Section for which a taxpayer has claimed a credit under this
5subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of credit for such tax

1 If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
22 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
3year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
4given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
5remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
6applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
7liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
8credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
9following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
10that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
11than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
12credit is given was incurred.
13 No inference shall be drawn from this amendatory Act of the
1491st General Assembly in construing this Section for taxable

12 Environmental Protection Act. The credit must be claimed
13 for the taxable year in which Agency approval of the

15 available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any related
16 party caused or contributed to, in any material respect, a
17 release of regulated substances on, in, or under the site
18 that was identified and addressed by the remedial action
19 pursuant to the Site Remediation Program of the

14 total credit allowed shall not exceed $40,000 per year with
15 a maximum total of $150,000 per site. For partners and
16 shareholders of subchapter S corporations, there shall be

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

HB3306- 31 -LRB101 08378 HLH 53447 b

6 subsection shall be applied first. A credit allowed under
7 this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a sale of
8 all or part of the remediation site for which the credit
9 was granted. The purchaser of a remediation site and the
10 tax credit shall succeed to the unused credit and remaining
11 carry-forward period of the seller. To perfect the
12 transfer, the assignor shall record the transfer in the
13 chain of title for the site and provide written notice to
14 the Director of the Illinois Department of Revenue of the
15 assignor's intent to sell the remediation site and the
16 amount of the tax credit to be transferred as a portion of
17 the sale. In no event may a credit be transferred to any
18 taxpayer if the taxpayer or a related party would not be
19 eligible under the provisions of subsection (i).
