18 (e) Investment credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit
19against the Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for
20investment in qualified property.
21 (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to .5%
22 of the basis of qualified property placed in service during
23 the taxable year, provided such property is placed in
24 service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed an
25 additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of qualified
26 property placed in service during the taxable year,

10100SB1591ham001- 9 -LRB101 08762 HLH 60918 a
1 provided such property is placed in service on or after
2 July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment within
3 Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the preceding
4 year as determined by the taxpayer's employment records
5 filed with the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
6 Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be deemed to have
7 met the 1% growth in base employment for the first year in
8 which they file employment records with the Illinois
9 Department of Employment Security. The provisions added to
10 this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored by Public
11 Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of existing
12 law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year, the
13 increase in base employment within Illinois over the
14 preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit shall
15 be limited to that percentage times a fraction, the
16 numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is
17 1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall
18 not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
19 taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may
20 any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year
21 other than the year in which the property was placed in
22 service in Illinois. For tax years ending on or after
23 December 31, 1987, and on or before December 31, 1988, the
24 credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
25 property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
26 credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it

10100SB1591ham001- 10 -LRB101 08762 HLH 60918 a
1 exceeds the original liability or the liability as later
2 amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied to
3 the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the
4 excess credit years if the taxpayer (i) makes investments
5 which cause the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time
6 equivalent jobs in Illinois, (ii) is located in an
7 enterprise zone established pursuant to the Illinois
8 Enterprise Zone Act and (iii) is certified by the
9 Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
10 Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) as
11 complying with the requirements specified in clause (i) and
12 (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and
13 Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic
14 Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all
15 such certifications immediately. For tax years ending
16 after December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for
17 the tax year in which the property is placed in service,
18 or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
19 for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability or
20 the liability as later amended, such excess may be carried
21 forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable
22 years following the excess credit years. The credit shall
23 be applied to the earliest year for which there is a
24 liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
25 that is available to offset a liability, earlier credit
26 shall be applied first.

2 which:

8 lines, local access roads, fencing, parking lots, and
9 other appurtenances;
10 (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
11 Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
12 as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
13 eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
14 (e);
15 (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
16 179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
17 (D) is used in Illinois by a taxpayer who is

19 or fluorite, or in retailing, or was placed in service
20 on or after July 1, 2006 in a River Edge Redevelopment
21 Zone established pursuant to the River Edge
22 Redevelopment Zone Act; and
23 (E) has not previously been used in Illinois in
24 such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
25 the credit provided by this subsection (e) or
26 subsection (f).

10100SB1591ham001- 12 -LRB101 08762 HLH 60918 a

2 "manufacturing" means the material staging and production
3 of tangible personal property by procedures commonly
4 regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabrication, or
5 assembling which changes some existing material into new

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

26 increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the

1 date of such increase in basis.
2 (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
3 meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
4 (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
5 be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within

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

10100SB1591ham001- 14 -LRB101 08762 HLH 60918 a

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

14 if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
15 purposes of federal and State income taxation, there shall
16 be allowed a credit under this subsection (f) to be
17 determined in accordance with the determination of income
18 and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
19 and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. The credit
20 shall be .5% of the basis for such property. The credit
21 shall be available only in the taxable year in which the
22 property is placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or
23 River Edge Redevelopment Zone and shall not be allowed to
24 the extent that it would reduce a taxpayer's liability for
25 the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section

15 48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
16 any qualified property is moved outside the Enterprise Zone
17 or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months after
18 being placed in service, the tax imposed under subsections
19 (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable year shall be
20 increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
21 recomputing the investment credit which would have been
22 allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
23 originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
24 computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
25 from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
26 purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the basis of

10100SB1591ham001- 18 -LRB101 08762 HLH 60918 a
1 qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
2 purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
3 property to the extent of such reduction.
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
7 Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
8 service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
9 employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over
10 the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
11 employment records filed with the Illinois Department of
12 Employment Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois
13 shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
14 employment for the first year in which they file employment
15 records with the Illinois Department of Employment
16 Security. If, in any year, the increase in base employment
17 within Illinois over the preceding year is less than 1%,
18 the additional credit shall be limited to that percentage
19 times a fraction, the numerator of which is 0.5% and the
20 denominator of which is 1%, but shall not exceed 0.5%.

10100SB1591ham001- 19 -LRB101 08762 HLH 60918 a
1 property which is placed in service by a Department of
2 Commerce and Economic Opportunity designated High Impact
3 Business. The credit shall be .5% of the basis for such
4 property. The credit shall not be available (i) until the
5 minimum investments in qualified property set forth in
6 subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois
7 Enterprise Zone Act have been satisfied or (ii) until the
8 time authorized in subsection (b-5) of the Illinois
9 Enterprise Zone Act for entities designated as High Impact
10 Businesses under subdivisions (a)(3)(B), (a)(3)(C), and
11 (a)(3)(D) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone
12 Act, and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
13 reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by
14 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. The
15 credit applicable to such investments shall be taken in the
16 taxable year in which such investments have been completed.
17 The credit for additional investments beyond the minimum
18 investment by a designated high impact business authorized
19 under subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois
20 Enterprise Zone Act shall be available only in the taxable
21 year in which the property is placed in service and shall
22 not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
23 taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by subsections (a)
24 and (b) of this Section to below zero. For tax years ending
25 on or after December 31, 1987, the credit shall be allowed
26 for the tax year in which the property is placed in

10100SB1591ham001- 20 -LRB101 08762 HLH 60918 a
1 service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax
2 liability for that year, whether it exceeds the original
3 liability or the liability as later amended, such excess
4 may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of
5 the 5 taxable years following the excess credit year. The
6 credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
7 there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
8 tax year that is available to offset a liability, the
9 credit accruing first in time shall be applied first.
10 Changes made in this subdivision (h)(1) by Public Act
11 88-670 restore changes made by Public Act 85-1182 and
12 reflect existing law.
13 (2) The term qualified property means property which:
14 (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
15 buildings and structural components of buildings;
16 (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
17 Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
18 as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
19 eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
20 (h);
21 (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
22 179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code; and
23 (D) is not eligible for the Enterprise Zone
24 Investment Credit provided by subsection (f) of this
25 Section.
26 (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis

10100SB1591ham001- 21 -LRB101 08762 HLH 60918 a
1 used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
2 income tax purposes.
3 (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
4 depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
5 in service in a federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or
6 Sub-Zone located in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of
7 such increase shall be deemed property placed in service on
8 the date of such increase in basis.
9 (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
10 meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
11 (6) If during any taxable year ending on or before
12 December 31, 1996, any property ceases to be qualified
13 property in the hands of the taxpayer within 48 months
14 after being placed in service, or the situs of any
15 qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
16 months after being placed in service, the tax imposed under
17 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable
18 year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
19 by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
20 been allowed for the year in which credit for such property
21 was originally allowed by eliminating such property from
22 such computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed
23 credit from the amount of credit previously allowed. For
24 the purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the
25 basis of qualified property resulting from a
26 redetermination of the purchase price shall be deemed a

10100SB1591ham001- 22 -LRB101 08762 HLH 60918 a
1 disposition of qualified property to the extent of such
2 reduction.
3 (7) Beginning with tax years ending after December 31,
4 1996, if a taxpayer qualifies for the credit under this
5 subsection (h) and thereby is granted a tax abatement and
6 the taxpayer relocates its entire facility in violation of
7 the explicit terms and length of the contract under Section
8 18-183 of the Property Tax Code, the tax imposed under
9 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section shall be increased
10 for the taxable year in which the taxpayer relocated its
11 facility by an amount equal to the amount of credit
12 received by the taxpayer under this subsection (h).
13 (i) Credit for Personal Property Tax Replacement Income
14Tax. For tax years ending prior to December 31, 2003, a credit
15shall be allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and
16(b) of this Section for the tax imposed by subsections (c) and
17(d) of this Section. This credit shall be computed by
18multiplying the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
19Section by a fraction, the numerator of which is base income
20allocable to Illinois and the denominator of which is Illinois
21base income, and further multiplying the product by the tax
22rate imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section.
23 Any credit earned on or after December 31, 1986 under this
24subsection which is unused in the year the credit is computed
25because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by subsections (a)
26and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the original

10100SB1591ham001- 23 -LRB101 08762 HLH 60918 a
1liability or the liability as later amended) may be carried
2forward and applied to the tax liability imposed by subsections
3(a) and (b) of the 5 taxable years following the excess credit
4year, provided that no credit may be carried forward to any
5year ending on or after December 31, 2003. This credit shall be
6applied first to the earliest year for which there is a
7liability. If there is a credit under this subsection from more
8than one tax year that is available to offset a liability the
9earliest credit arising under this subsection shall be applied
10first.
11 If, during any taxable year ending on or after December 31,
121986, the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
13Section for which a taxpayer has claimed a credit under this
14subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of credit for such tax
15shall also be reduced. Such reduction shall be determined by
16recomputing the credit to take into account the reduced tax
17imposed by subsections (c) and (d). If any portion of the
18reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different
19taxable year, an amended return shall be filed for such taxable
20year to reduce the amount of credit claimed.
21 (j) Training expense credit. Beginning with tax years
22ending on or after December 31, 1986 and prior to December 31,
232003, a taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the tax

1of Illinois by a taxpayer, for educational or vocational
2training in semi-technical or technical fields or semi-skilled
3or skilled fields, which were deducted from gross income in the
4computation of taxable income. The credit against the tax
5imposed by subsections (a) and (b) shall be 1.6% of such
6training expenses. For partners, shareholders of subchapter S
7corporations, and owners of limited liability companies, if the
8liability company is treated as a partnership for purposes of
9federal and State income taxation, there shall be allowed a
10credit under this subsection (j) to be determined in accordance
11with the determination of income and distributive share of
12income under Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the
13Internal Revenue Code.
14 Any credit allowed under this subsection which is unused in
15the year the credit is earned may be carried forward to each of
16the 5 taxable years following the year for which the credit is
17first computed until it is used. This credit shall be applied
18first to the earliest year for which there is a liability. If
19there is a credit under this subsection from more than one tax
20year that is available to offset a liability the earliest
21credit arising under this subsection shall be applied first. No
22carryforward credit may be claimed in any tax year ending on or
23after December 31, 2003.

1made.
2 Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the taxable
3year may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
4unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over
5as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
6taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever occurs
7first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year ending
8prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any year
9ending on or after December 31, 2003.
10 If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
112 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
12year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
13given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
14remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
15applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
16liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
17credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
18following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
19that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
20than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
21credit is given was incurred.

24 available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any related
25 party caused or contributed to, in any material respect, a
26 release of regulated substances on, in, or under the site

9 unreimbursed eligible remediation costs in excess of the
10 maximum credit per site authorized under paragraph (i).
11 This credit shall be applied first to the earliest year for

14 offset a liability, the earliest credit arising under this
15 subsection shall be applied first. A credit allowed under
16 this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a sale of
17 all or part of the remediation site for which the credit
18 was granted. The purchaser of a remediation site and the
19 tax credit shall succeed to the unused credit and remaining
20 carry-forward period of the seller. To perfect the
21 transfer, the assignor shall record the transfer in the
