1 shall equal (i) the total amount of tax that would be imposed
2 on the foreign insurer's net income allocable to Illinois for
3 the taxable year by such foreign insurer's state or country of
4 domicile if that net income were subject to all income taxes
5 and taxes measured by net income imposed by such foreign
6 insurer's state or country of domicile, net of all credits

16 of all credits allowed under this Act, plus
17 (B) the privilege tax imposed by Section 409 of

19 company tax imposed by Section 12 of the Fire
20 Investigation Act, and the fire department taxes
21 imposed under Section 11-10-1 of the Illinois

23 equals 1.25% for taxable years ending prior to December
24 31, 2003, or 1.75% for taxable years ending on or after

1 Section 409 of the Illinois Insurance Code. This paragraph
2 will in no event increase the rates imposed under
3 subsections (b) and (d).
4 (2) Any reduction in the rates of tax imposed by this
5 subsection shall be applied first against the rates
6 imposed by subsection (b) and only after the tax imposed
7 by subsection (a) net of all credits allowed under this
8 Section other than the credit allowed under subsection (i)
9 has been reduced to zero, against the rates imposed by
10 subsection (d).
11 This subsection (d-1) is exempt from the provisions of

14 credit against the Personal Property Tax Replacement Income
15 Tax for investment in qualified property.
16 (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to .5%
17 of the basis of qualified property placed in service
18 during the taxable year, provided such property is placed
19 in service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed
20 an additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of
21 qualified property placed in service during the taxable
22 year, provided such property is placed in service on or
23 after July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment
24 within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the
25 preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's employment
26 records filed with the Illinois Department of Employment

SB2084 - 11 - LRB103 28613 HLH 54994 b
1 Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be
2 deemed to have met the 1% growth in base employment for the
3 first year in which they file employment records with the
4 Illinois Department of Employment Security. The provisions
5 added to this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored
6 by Public Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of
7 existing law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year,
8 the increase in base employment within Illinois over the
9 preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit
10 shall be limited to that percentage times a fraction, the
11 numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is
12 1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall
13 not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
14 taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may
15 any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year
16 other than the year in which the property was placed in
17 service in Illinois. For tax years ending on or after
18 December 31, 1987, and on or before December 31, 1988, the
19 credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
20 property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
21 credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it
22 exceeds the original liability or the liability as later
23 amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied to
24 the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the
25 excess credit years if the taxpayer (i) makes investments
26 which cause the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time

4 Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
5 Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) as
6 complying with the requirements specified in clause (i)
7 and (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and
8 Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic
9 Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all
10 such certifications immediately. For tax years ending
11 after December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for
12 the tax year in which the property is placed in service,
13 or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
14 for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability
15 or the liability as later amended, such excess may be
16 carried forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5
17 taxable years following the excess credit years. The
18 credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
19 there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
20 tax year that is available to offset a liability, earlier
21 credit shall be applied first.
22 (2) The term "qualified property" means property
23 which:
24 (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
25 buildings and structural components of buildings and
26 signs that are real property, but not including land

5 (e), the term "retailing" means the sale of tangible
6 personal property for use or consumption and not for
7 resale, or services rendered in conjunction with the sale
8 of tangible personal property for use or consumption and
9 not for resale. For purposes of this subsection (e),
10 "tangible personal property" has the same meaning as when
11 that term is used in the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
12 and, for taxable years ending after December 31, 2008,
13 does not include the generation, transmission, or
14 distribution of electricity.
15 (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
16 used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
17 income tax purposes.
18 (5) If the basis of the property for federal income
19 tax depreciation purposes is increased after it has been
20 placed in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount
21 of such increase shall be deemed property placed in
22 service on the date of such increase in basis.
23 (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same

2 any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
3 months after being placed in service, the Personal
4 Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year
5 shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined by
6 (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
7 been allowed for the year in which credit for such
8 property was originally allowed by eliminating such
9 property from such computation and, (ii) subtracting such
10 recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
11 allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (7), a
12 reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
13 from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be
14 deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
15 of such reduction.
16 (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
17 the basis of qualified property shall not include costs
18 incurred after December 31, 2018, except for costs
19 incurred pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or
20 before December 31, 2018.

22 a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners
23 the credits to which the partnership is entitled under

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

14 determination of income and distributive share of income
15 under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the

18 only in the taxable year in which the property is placed in
19 service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge Redevelopment
20 Zone and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
21 reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by
22 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. For
23 tax years ending on or after December 31, 1985, the credit
24 shall be allowed for the tax year in which the property is
25 placed in service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds
26 the tax liability for that year, whether it exceeds the

6 from more than one tax year that is available to offset a
7 liability, the credit accruing first in time shall be
8 applied first.
9 (2) The term qualified property means property which:
10 (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
11 buildings and structural components of buildings;
12 (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the

26 used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal

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

7 employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more
8 over the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
9 employment records filed with the Illinois Department of
10 Employment Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois
11 shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
12 employment for the first year in which they file
13 employment records with the Illinois Department of
14 Employment Security. If, in any year, the increase in base
15 employment within Illinois over the preceding year is less
16 than 1%, the additional credit shall be limited to that
17 percentage times a fraction, the numerator of which is
18 0.5% and the denominator of which is 1%, but shall not
19 exceed 0.5%.
20 (8) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1,
21 2021, there shall be allowed an Enterprise Zone
22 construction jobs credit against the taxes imposed under
23 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section as provided in
24 Section 13 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act.

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

20 subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of credit for such tax
21 shall also be reduced. Such reduction shall be determined by
22 recomputing the credit to take into account the reduced tax
23 imposed by subsections (c) and (d). If any portion of the
24 reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different

11 subsections (a) and (b) shall be equal to 6 1/2% of the
12 qualifying expenditures for increasing research activities in
13 this State. For partners, shareholders of subchapter S
14 corporations, and owners of limited liability companies, if
15 the liability company is treated as a partnership for purposes
16 of federal and State income taxation, there shall be allowed a

11 as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
12 taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever
13 occurs first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year
14 ending prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any
15 year ending on or after December 31, 2003.
16 If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
17 2 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
18 year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
19 given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
20 remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
21 applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
22 liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
23 credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
24 following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
25 that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
26 than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the

9 respect, a release of regulated substances on, in, or
10 under the site that was identified and addressed by the
11 remedial action pursuant to the Site Remediation Program

8 individual's liability for the tax imposed under
9 subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of this Act for the
10 taxable year.
11 (6) Liability for tax. Except as provided in this
12 paragraph, a partnership or Subchapter S making the
13 election under paragraph (1) is liable for the

19 or shareholder shall be liable for the unpaid assessment
20 based on the ratio of the partner's or shareholder's share
21 of the net income of the partnership over the total net
22 income of the partnership. If the partnership or
23 Subchapter S corporation fails to pay the tax assessed
24 (including penalties and interest) and thereafter an
