LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
The Personal Income Tax Law and the Corporation Tax Law allow various credits against the taxes imposed by those laws. Existing federal income tax law allows a credit against federal income taxes in an amount equal to the sum of 25% of the qualified child care expenditures, as defined, and 10% of the qualified child care resource and referral expenditures of the taxpayer for the taxable year.
This bill would, in modified conformity with that federal income tax credit provision, allow a credit against those taxes for each taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2020, and before January 1, 2025, in an amount equal to the sum of 25% of the qualified child care expenditures and 10% of the qualified child care resource and referral expenditures of the taxpayer for the taxable year. The bill would modify the definition of
qualified child care expenditures to include any amount paid or incurred for any of the following: (1) to acquire, construct, rehabilitate, or expand property which is to be used as part of a qualified child care facility located in this state of the taxpayer, (2) operating costs of a qualified child care facility located in this state of the taxpayer, and (3) under a contract with a qualified child care facility in this state to provide child care services to employees of the taxpayer who are paid less than $36,000 in gross wages by the taxpayer in the taxable year. The bill would, in modified conformity with the federal income tax credit provision, provide for recapture of any acquisition and construction credit if there is a recapture event, as defined, with respect to any qualified child care facility of the taxpayer.
This bill would make specified findings detailing the goals, purposes, and objectives of the above-described tax credits and would require the
Franchise Tax Board to make annual written reports that include specified data to the Legislature for measuring whether the credits meet those goals, purposes, and objectives.
This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.

For purposes of complying with Section 41 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, with respect to employer-provided child care income tax credit allowed by Sections 17053.4 and 23606 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, as added by this act, the Legislature finds and declares as follows:

(2)To test whether through incentives,
companies can lessen the burden on working families needing childcare and thus save the state money in its childcare crisis and keep workforce levels and income stable.
(b)To measure whether the employer-provided child care income tax credit allowed by Sections 17053.4 and 23606 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, as added by this act, meet these goals, purposes, and objectives, the Franchise Tax Board shall prepare a written report on the use of the tax credit within California for each fiscal year in which the credit allowed is taken on a tax return, and to identify any increases or decreases in credit amounts allowed from year to year or lack of use. The report shall include the following data: number of taxpayers allowed the credit, total amount of tax credits allowed that is taken on a tax return during the fiscal year, and a breakdown on whether the credit taken was for qualified child care expenditures for acquiring, constructing,
rehabilitating or expanding property to be used as part of a qualified child care facility of the taxpayer, for operating costs of a qualified child care facility of the taxpayer, or for a contract with a qualified child care facility to provide child care services.
(c)The Franchise Tax Board shall provide the written report required by subdivision (b) to the Legislature annually commencing with the 2020–21 fiscal year until the 2025–26 fiscal year.
