19 | owned subsidiary; or | ||||||
20 | (G) the transfer or sale to or by one person to | ||||||
21 | another person where both persons were initial owners | ||||||
22 | of the license when the license was issued; or | ||||||
23 | (2) the controlling interest in the organization | ||||||
24 | gaming license, organization license, or racetrack | ||||||
25 | property is transferred in a transaction to lineal | ||||||
26 | descendants in which no gain or loss is recognized or as a |
| |||||||
| |||||||

2 | the Internal Revenue Code in which no gain or loss is | ||||||
3 | recognized; or | ||||||

5 | racetrack located within 3 miles of the Mississippi River | ||||||

10 | than the initial licensee to receive the organization gaming | ||||||
11 | license is not subject to a surcharge. The Department shall | ||||||
12 | adopt rules necessary to implement and administer this | ||||||
13 | subsection. | ||||||
14 | (c) Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax.
| ||||||
15 | Beginning on July 1, 1979 and thereafter, in addition to such | ||||||
16 | income
tax, there is also hereby imposed the Personal Property | ||||||
17 | Tax Replacement
Income Tax measured by net income on every | ||||||
18 | corporation (including Subchapter
S corporations), partnership | ||||||
19 | and trust, for each taxable year ending after
June 30, 1979. | ||||||
20 | Such taxes are imposed on the privilege of earning or
| ||||||
21 | receiving income in or as a resident of this State. The | ||||||
22 | Personal Property
Tax Replacement Income Tax shall be in | ||||||
23 | addition to the income tax imposed
by subsections (a) and (b) | ||||||
24 | of this Section and in addition to all other
occupation or | ||||||
25 | privilege taxes imposed by this State or by any municipal
| ||||||
26 | corporation or political subdivision thereof. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (d) Additional Personal Property Tax Replacement Income | ||||||
2 | Tax Rates.
The personal property tax replacement income tax | ||||||
3 | imposed by this subsection
and subsection (c) of this Section | ||||||
4 | in the case of a corporation, other
than a Subchapter S | ||||||
5 | corporation and except as adjusted by subsection (d-1),
shall | ||||||
6 | be an additional amount equal to
2.85% of such taxpayer's net | ||||||
7 | income for the taxable year, except that
beginning on January | ||||||
8 | 1, 1981, and thereafter, the rate of 2.85% specified
in this | ||||||
9 | subsection shall be reduced to 2.5%, and in the case of a
| ||||||
10 | partnership, trust or a Subchapter S corporation shall be an | ||||||
11 | additional
amount equal to 1.5% of such taxpayer's net income | ||||||
12 | for the taxable year. | ||||||
13 | (d-1) Rate reduction for certain foreign insurers. In the | ||||||
14 | case of a
foreign insurer, as defined by Section 35A-5 of the | ||||||
15 | Illinois Insurance Code,
whose state or country of domicile | ||||||
16 | imposes on insurers domiciled in Illinois
a retaliatory tax | ||||||
17 | (excluding any insurer
whose premiums from reinsurance assumed | ||||||
18 | are 50% or more of its total insurance
premiums as determined | ||||||
19 | under paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 304,
except | ||||||
20 | that for purposes of this determination premiums from | ||||||
21 | reinsurance do
not include premiums from inter-affiliate | ||||||
22 | reinsurance arrangements),
beginning with taxable years ending | ||||||
23 | on or after December 31, 1999,
the sum of
the rates of tax | ||||||
24 | imposed by subsections (b) and (d) shall be reduced (but not
| ||||||
25 | increased) to the rate at which the total amount of tax imposed | ||||||
26 | under this Act,
net of all credits allowed under this Act, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
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 | ||||||
7 | allowed or (ii) a rate of zero if no such tax is
imposed on | ||||||
8 | such income by the foreign insurer's state of domicile.
For | ||||||
9 | the purposes of this subsection (d-1), an inter-affiliate | ||||||
10 | includes a
mutual insurer under common management. | ||||||
11 | (1) For the purposes of subsection (d-1), in no event | ||||||
12 | shall the sum of the
rates of tax imposed by subsections | ||||||
13 | (b) and (d) be reduced below the rate at
which the sum of: | ||||||
14 | (A) the total amount of tax imposed on such | ||||||
15 | foreign insurer under
this Act for a taxable year, net | ||||||
16 | of all credits allowed under this Act, plus | ||||||
17 | (B) the privilege tax imposed by Section 409 of | ||||||
18 | the Illinois Insurance
Code, the fire insurance | ||||||
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 | ||||||
22 | Municipal Code, | ||||||
23 | equals 1.25% for taxable years ending prior to December | ||||||
24 | 31, 2003, or
1.75% for taxable years ending on or after | ||||||
25 | December 31, 2003, of the net
taxable premiums written for | ||||||
26 | the taxable year,
as described by subsection (1) of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
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 | ||||||
12 | Section 250. | ||||||
13 | (e) Investment credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a | ||||||
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 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
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 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | equivalent jobs in Illinois,
(ii) is located in an | ||||||
2 | enterprise zone established pursuant to the Illinois
| ||||||
3 | Enterprise Zone Act and (iii) is certified by the | ||||||
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 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | or improvements to real property that are not a | ||||||
2 | structural component of a
building such as | ||||||
3 | landscaping, sewer lines, local access roads, fencing, | ||||||
4 | parking
lots, and other appurtenances; | ||||||
5 | (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the | ||||||
6 | Internal Revenue Code,
except that "3-year property" | ||||||
7 | as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that
Code is not | ||||||
8 | eligible for the credit provided by this subsection | ||||||
9 | (e); | ||||||
10 | (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section | ||||||
11 | 179(d) of
the Internal Revenue Code; | ||||||
12 | (D) is used in Illinois by a taxpayer who is | ||||||
13 | primarily engaged in
manufacturing, or in mining coal | ||||||
14 | or fluorite, or in retailing, or was placed in service | ||||||
15 | on or after July 1, 2006 in a River Edge Redevelopment | ||||||
16 | Zone established pursuant to the River Edge | ||||||
17 | Redevelopment Zone Act; and | ||||||
18 | (E) has not previously been used in Illinois in | ||||||
19 | such a manner and by
such a person as would qualify for | ||||||
20 | the credit provided by this subsection
(e) or | ||||||
21 | 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 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shapes, new
qualities, or new combinations. For purposes | ||||||
2 | of this subsection
(e) the term "mining" shall have the | ||||||
3 | same meaning as the term "mining" in
Section 613(c) of the | ||||||
4 | Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this subsection
| ||||||
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
| ||||||
24 | meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code. | ||||||
25 | (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
| ||||||
26 | be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 48 months after
being placed in service, or the situs of | ||||||
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. | ||||||
21 | (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000, | ||||||
22 | a partnership may
elect to pass through to its
partners | ||||||
23 | the credits to which the partnership is entitled under | ||||||
24 | this subsection
(e) for the taxable year. A partner may | ||||||
25 | use the credit allocated to him or her
under this | ||||||
26 | paragraph only against the tax imposed in subsections (c) |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | and (d) of
this Section. If the partnership makes that | ||||||
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 | ||||||
19 | under this subsection (e) during
the taxable year by the | ||||||
20 | partnership or Subchapter S corporation, determined in
| ||||||
21 | accordance with the determination of income and | ||||||
22 | distributive share of
income under Sections 702 and 704 | ||||||
23 | and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue
Code. This | ||||||
24 | paragraph is exempt from the provisions of Section 250. | ||||||
25 | (f) Investment credit; Enterprise Zone; River Edge | ||||||
26 | Redevelopment Zone. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the | ||||||
2 | tax imposed
by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for | ||||||
3 | investment in qualified
property which is placed in | ||||||
4 | service in an Enterprise Zone created
pursuant to the | ||||||
5 | Illinois Enterprise Zone Act or, for property placed in | ||||||
6 | service on or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge | ||||||
7 | Redevelopment Zone established pursuant to the River Edge | ||||||
8 | Redevelopment Zone Act. For partners, shareholders
of | ||||||
9 | Subchapter S corporations, and owners of limited liability | ||||||
10 | companies,
if the liability company is treated as a | ||||||
11 | partnership for purposes of
federal and State income | ||||||
12 | taxation, there shall be allowed a credit under
this | ||||||
13 | subsection (f) to be determined in accordance with the | ||||||
14 | determination
of income and distributive share of income | ||||||
15 | under Sections 702 and 704 and
Subchapter S of the | ||||||
16 | Internal Revenue Code. The credit shall be .5% of the
| ||||||
17 | basis for such property. The credit shall be available | ||||||
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 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | original liability or the liability as later
amended, such | ||||||
2 | excess may be carried forward and applied to the tax
| ||||||
3 | liability of the 5 taxable years following the excess | ||||||
4 | credit year.
The credit shall be applied to the earliest | ||||||
5 | year for which there is a
liability. If there is credit | ||||||
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 | ||||||
13 | Internal Revenue
Code, except that "3-year property" | ||||||
14 | as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of
that Code is not | ||||||
15 | eligible for the credit provided by this subsection | ||||||
16 | (f); | ||||||
17 | (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section | ||||||
18 | 179(d) of
the Internal Revenue Code; | ||||||
19 | (D) is used in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge | ||||||
20 | Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer; and | ||||||
21 | (E) has not been previously used in Illinois in | ||||||
22 | such a manner and by
such a person as would qualify for | ||||||
23 | the credit provided by this subsection
(f) or | ||||||
24 | subsection (e). | ||||||
25 | (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis | ||||||
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 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of such reduction. | ||||||
2 | (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal | ||||||
3 | to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in | ||||||
4 | service during the taxable year in a River Edge | ||||||
5 | Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in | ||||||
6 | service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base | ||||||
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. | ||||||
25 | The credit or credits may not reduce the taxpayer's | ||||||
26 | liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may | ||||||
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. | ||||||
18 | The total aggregate amount of credits awarded under | ||||||
19 | the Blue Collar Jobs Act (Article 20 of Public Act 101-9) | ||||||
20 | shall not exceed $20,000,000 in any State fiscal year. | ||||||
21 | This paragraph (8) is exempt from the provisions of | ||||||
22 | Section 250. | ||||||
23 | (g) (Blank). | ||||||
24 | (h) Investment credit; High Impact Business. | ||||||
25 | (1) Subject to subsections (b) and (b-5) of Section
| ||||||
26 | 5.5 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act, a taxpayer shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | be allowed a credit
against the tax imposed by subsections | ||||||
2 | (a) and (b) of this Section for
investment in qualified
| ||||||
3 | property which is placed in service by a Department of | ||||||
4 | Commerce and Economic Opportunity
designated High Impact | ||||||
5 | Business. The credit shall be .5% of the basis
for such | ||||||
6 | property. The credit shall not be available (i) until the | ||||||
7 | minimum
investments in qualified property set forth in | ||||||
8 | subdivision (a)(3)(A) of
Section 5.5 of the Illinois
| ||||||
9 | Enterprise Zone Act have been satisfied
or (ii) until the | ||||||
10 | time authorized in subsection (b-5) of the Illinois
| ||||||
11 | Enterprise Zone Act for entities designated as High Impact | ||||||
12 | Businesses under
subdivisions (a)(3)(B), (a)(3)(C), and | ||||||
13 | (a)(3)(D) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois
Enterprise Zone | ||||||
14 | Act, and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
| ||||||
15 | reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by | ||||||
16 | subsections (a) and (b) of
this Section to below zero. The | ||||||
17 | credit applicable to such investments shall be
taken in | ||||||
18 | the taxable year in which such investments have been | ||||||
19 | completed. The
credit for additional investments beyond | ||||||
20 | the minimum investment by a designated
high impact | ||||||
21 | business authorized under subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section | ||||||
22 | 5.5 of
the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act shall be available | ||||||
23 | only in the taxable year in
which the property is placed in | ||||||
24 | service and shall not be allowed to the extent
that it | ||||||
25 | would reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by | ||||||
26 | subsections
(a) and (b) of this Section to below zero.
For |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | tax years ending on or after December 31, 1987, the credit | ||||||
2 | shall be
allowed for the tax year in which the property is | ||||||
3 | placed in service, or, if
the amount of the credit exceeds | ||||||
4 | the tax liability for that year, whether
it exceeds the | ||||||
5 | original liability or the liability as later amended, such
| ||||||
6 | excess may be carried forward and applied to the tax | ||||||
7 | liability of the 5
taxable years following the excess | ||||||
8 | credit year. The credit shall be
applied to the earliest | ||||||
9 | year for which there is a liability. If there is
credit | ||||||
10 | from more than one tax year that is available to offset a | ||||||
11 | liability,
the credit accruing first in time shall be | ||||||
12 | applied first. | ||||||
13 | Changes made in this subdivision (h)(1) by Public Act | ||||||
14 | 88-670
restore changes made by Public Act 85-1182 and | ||||||
15 | reflect existing law. | ||||||
16 | (2) The term qualified property means property which: | ||||||
17 | (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including | ||||||
18 | buildings and
structural components of buildings; | ||||||
19 | (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the | ||||||
20 | Internal Revenue
Code, except that "3-year property" | ||||||
21 | as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of
that Code is not | ||||||
22 | eligible for the credit provided by this subsection | ||||||
23 | (h); | ||||||
24 | (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section | ||||||
25 | 179(d) of the
Internal Revenue Code; and | ||||||
26 | (D) is not eligible for the Enterprise Zone |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Investment Credit provided
by subsection (f) of this | ||||||
2 | Section. | ||||||
3 | (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis | ||||||
4 | used to compute
the depreciation deduction for federal | ||||||
5 | income tax purposes. | ||||||
6 | (4) If the basis of the property for federal income | ||||||
7 | tax depreciation
purposes is increased after it has been | ||||||
8 | placed in service in a federally
designated Foreign Trade | ||||||
9 | Zone or Sub-Zone located in Illinois by the taxpayer,
the | ||||||
10 | amount of such increase shall be deemed property placed in | ||||||
11 | service on
the date of such increase in basis. | ||||||
12 | (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same | ||||||
13 | meaning as under
Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code. | ||||||
14 | (6) If during any taxable year ending on or before | ||||||
15 | December 31, 1996,
any property ceases to be qualified
| ||||||
16 | property in the hands of the taxpayer within 48 months | ||||||
17 | after being placed
in service, or the situs of any | ||||||
18 | qualified property is moved outside
Illinois within 48 | ||||||
19 | months after being placed in service, the tax imposed
| ||||||
20 | under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such | ||||||
21 | taxable year shall
be increased. Such increase shall be | ||||||
22 | determined by (i) recomputing the
investment credit which | ||||||
23 | would have been allowed for the year in which
credit for | ||||||
24 | such property was originally allowed by eliminating such
| ||||||
25 | property from such computation, and (ii) subtracting such | ||||||
26 | recomputed credit
from the amount of credit previously |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | allowed. For the purposes of this
paragraph (6), a | ||||||
2 | reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
| ||||||
3 | from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be | ||||||
4 | deemed a disposition
of qualified property to the extent | ||||||
5 | of such reduction. | ||||||
6 | (7) Beginning with tax years ending after December 31, | ||||||
7 | 1996, if a
taxpayer qualifies for the credit under this | ||||||
8 | subsection (h) and thereby is
granted a tax abatement and | ||||||
9 | the taxpayer relocates its entire facility in
violation of | ||||||
10 | the explicit terms and length of the contract under | ||||||
11 | Section
18-183 of the Property Tax Code, the tax imposed | ||||||
12 | under subsections
(a) and (b) of this Section shall be | ||||||
13 | increased for the taxable year
in which the taxpayer | ||||||
14 | relocated its facility by an amount equal to the
amount of | ||||||
15 | credit received by the taxpayer under this subsection (h). | ||||||
16 | (h-5) High Impact Business construction jobs credit. For | ||||||
17 | taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2021, there | ||||||
18 | shall also be allowed a High Impact Business construction jobs | ||||||
19 | credit against the tax imposed under subsections (a) and (b) | ||||||
20 | of this Section as provided in subsections (i) and (j) of | ||||||
21 | Section 5.5 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act. | ||||||
22 | The credit or credits may not reduce the taxpayer's | ||||||
23 | liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or | ||||||
24 | credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may be | ||||||
25 | carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's liability | ||||||
26 | in succeeding calendar years in the manner provided under |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act. The credit or credits | ||||||
2 | shall be applied to the earliest year for which there is a tax | ||||||
3 | liability. If there are credits from more than one taxable | ||||||
4 | year that are available to offset a liability, the earlier | ||||||
5 | credit shall be applied first. | ||||||
6 | For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S corporations, | ||||||
7 | and owners of limited liability companies, if the liability | ||||||
8 | company is treated as a partnership for the purposes of | ||||||
9 | federal and State income taxation, there shall be allowed a | ||||||
10 | credit under this Section to be determined in accordance with | ||||||
11 | the determination of income and distributive share of income | ||||||
12 | under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal | ||||||
13 | Revenue Code. | ||||||
14 | The total aggregate amount of credits awarded under the | ||||||
15 | Blue Collar Jobs Act (Article 20 of Public Act 101-9) shall not | ||||||
16 | exceed $20,000,000 in any State fiscal year. | ||||||
17 | This subsection (h-5) is exempt from the provisions of | ||||||
18 | Section 250. | ||||||
19 | (i) Credit for Personal Property Tax Replacement Income | ||||||
20 | Tax.
For tax years ending prior to December 31, 2003, a credit | ||||||
21 | shall be allowed
against the tax imposed by
subsections (a) | ||||||
22 | and (b) of this Section for the tax imposed by subsections (c)
| ||||||
23 | and (d) of this Section. This credit shall be computed by | ||||||
24 | multiplying the tax
imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this | ||||||
25 | Section by a fraction, the numerator
of which is base income | ||||||
26 | allocable to Illinois and the denominator of which is
Illinois |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | base income, and further multiplying the product by the tax | ||||||
2 | rate
imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section. | ||||||
3 | Any credit earned on or after December 31, 1986 under
this | ||||||
4 | subsection which is unused in the year
the credit is computed | ||||||
5 | because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by
subsections | ||||||
6 | (a) and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the original
| ||||||
7 | liability or the liability as later amended) may be carried | ||||||
8 | forward and
applied to the tax liability imposed by | ||||||
9 | subsections (a) and (b) of the 5
taxable years following the | ||||||
10 | excess credit year, provided that no credit may
be carried | ||||||
11 | forward to any year ending on or
after December 31, 2003. This | ||||||
12 | credit shall be
applied first to the earliest year for which | ||||||
13 | there is a liability. If
there is a credit under this | ||||||
14 | subsection from more than one tax year that is
available to | ||||||
15 | offset a liability the earliest credit arising under this
| ||||||
16 | subsection shall be applied first. | ||||||
17 | If, during any taxable year ending on or after December | ||||||
18 | 31, 1986, the
tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this | ||||||
19 | Section for which a taxpayer
has claimed a credit under this | ||||||
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 | ||||||
25 | taxable year, an
amended return shall be filed for such | ||||||
26 | taxable year to reduce the amount of
credit claimed. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (j) Training expense credit. Beginning with tax years | ||||||
2 | ending on or
after December 31, 1986 and prior to December 31, | ||||||
3 | 2003, a taxpayer shall be
allowed a credit against the
tax | ||||||
4 | imposed by subsections (a) and (b) under this Section
for all | ||||||
5 | amounts paid or accrued, on behalf of all persons
employed by | ||||||
6 | the taxpayer in Illinois or Illinois residents employed
| ||||||
7 | outside of Illinois by a taxpayer, for educational or | ||||||
8 | vocational training in
semi-technical or technical fields or | ||||||
9 | semi-skilled or skilled fields, which
were deducted from gross | ||||||
10 | income in the computation of taxable income. The
credit | ||||||
11 | against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) shall be | ||||||
12 | 1.6% of
such training expenses. For partners, shareholders of | ||||||
13 | subchapter S
corporations, and owners of limited liability | ||||||
14 | companies, if the liability
company is treated as a | ||||||
15 | partnership for purposes of federal and State income
taxation, | ||||||
16 | there shall be allowed a credit under this subsection (j) to be
| ||||||
17 | determined in accordance with the determination of income and | ||||||
18 | distributive
share of income under Sections 702 and 704 and | ||||||
19 | subchapter S of the Internal
Revenue Code. | ||||||
20 | Any credit allowed under this subsection which is unused | ||||||
21 | in the year
the credit is earned may be carried forward to each | ||||||
22 | of the 5 taxable
years following the year for which the credit | ||||||
23 | is first computed until it is
used. This credit shall be | ||||||
24 | applied first to the earliest year for which
there is a | ||||||
25 | liability. If there is a credit under this subsection from | ||||||
26 | more
than one tax year that is available to offset a liability, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the earliest
credit arising under this subsection shall be | ||||||
2 | applied first. No carryforward
credit may be claimed in any | ||||||

| ||||||
19 | owners of limited liability companies, if the liability | ||||||
20 | company is treated as a
partnership for purposes of federal | ||||||
21 | and State income taxation, there shall be
allowed a credit | ||||||
22 | under this subsection to be determined in accordance with the
| ||||||
23 | determination of income and distributive share of income under | ||||||
24 | Sections 702 and
704 and subchapter S of the Internal Revenue | ||||||
25 | Code. | ||||||
26 | In lieu of the credit allowed under this subsection (k) |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | against taxes imposed pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) of | ||||||
2 | this Section, for any taxable year ending after December 31, | ||||||
3 | 2023, a qualified startup taxpayer may elect to claim the | ||||||
4 | credit against its obligation to pay over withholding taxes | ||||||
5 | under Section 704A. However, the taxpayer may not make such an | ||||||
6 | election for a taxable year if the taxpayer has an Illinois | ||||||
7 | income tax liability for that taxable year with respect to the | ||||||
8 | taxes imposed pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) of Section | ||||||
9 | 201 of this Act against which the taxpayer may claim the credit | ||||||
10 | under this subsection (k). | ||||||
11 | As used in For purposes of this subsection : , | ||||||

13 | partnership, limited liability company, or other legal | ||||||
14 | entity. | ||||||
15 | "Qualified startup taxpayer" means a business entity | ||||||
16 | that (i) was incorporated or organized no more than 5 | ||||||
17 | years before the first day of the taxable year for which | ||||||
18 | the credit is sought, (ii) has never had any Illinois | ||||||
19 | income tax liability, excluding any Illinois income tax | ||||||
20 | liability of a related member, which shall not be | ||||||
21 | attributed to the startup taxpayer, and (iii) otherwise | ||||||
22 | meets the requirements of this subsection (k). | ||||||
23 | "Qualifying "qualifying expenditures" means the
| ||||||
24 | qualifying expenditures as defined for the federal credit | ||||||
25 | for increasing
research activities which would be | ||||||
26 | allowable under Section 41 of the
Internal Revenue Code |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | and which are conducted in this State . , | ||||||
2 | "Qualifying "qualifying
expenditures for increasing | ||||||
3 | research activities in this State" means the
excess of | ||||||
4 | qualifying expenditures for the taxable year in which | ||||||
5 | incurred
over qualifying expenditures for the base period . | ||||||
6 | , | ||||||
7 | "Qualifying "qualifying expenditures
for the base | ||||||
8 | period" means the average of the qualifying expenditures | ||||||
9 | for
each year in the base period, and "base period" means | ||||||
10 | the 3 taxable years
immediately preceding the taxable year | ||||||
11 | for which the determination is
being made. | ||||||
12 | "Qualifying quantum information science expenditures" | ||||||
13 | means qualifying expenditures in quantum information | ||||||
14 | science, as that term is defined in Section 2 of the | ||||||
15 | federal National Quantum Initiative Act. | ||||||
16 | "Related member" has the meaning given to the term in | ||||||
17 | Section 5-5 of the Economic Development for a Growing | ||||||
18 | Economy Tax Credit Act. | ||||||
19 | Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the taxable | ||||||
20 | year
may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
| ||||||
21 | unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over | ||||||
22 | as a credit
against the tax liability for the following 5 | ||||||
23 | taxable years or until it has
been fully used, whichever | ||||||
24 | occurs first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year | ||||||
25 | ending prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any | ||||||
26 | year ending on or after December 31, 2003. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from | ||||||
2 | 2 or more
earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest | ||||||
3 | year will be applied
first against the tax liability for the | ||||||
4 | given year. If a tax liability for
the given year still | ||||||
5 | remains, the credit from the next earliest year will
then be | ||||||
6 | applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
| ||||||
7 | liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused | ||||||
8 | credit or
credits then will be carried forward to the next | ||||||
9 | following year in which a
tax liability is incurred, except | ||||||
10 | that no credit can be carried forward to
a year which is more | ||||||
11 | than 5 years after the year in which the expense for
which the | ||||||
12 | credit is given was incurred. | ||||||
13 | If the taxpayer makes qualifying quantum information | ||||||
14 | science expenditures, and the credit claimed under this | ||||||
15 | subsection exceeds the taxpayer's Illinois income tax | ||||||
16 | liability, then 90% of the excess credit amount may be | ||||||
17 | refunded to the taxpayer in accordance with rules adopted by | ||||||
18 | the Department. If the excess credit amount is refunded to the | ||||||
19 | taxpayer, then the portion of the excess credit amount that is | ||||||
20 | refunded to the taxpayer may not be carried forward and may not | ||||||
21 | be taken against the taxpayer's obligations to pay withholding | ||||||
22 | taxes under Section 704A. | ||||||
23 | No inference shall be drawn from Public Act 91-644 in | ||||||
24 | construing this Section for taxable years beginning before | ||||||
25 | January
1, 1999. | ||||||
26 | It is the intent of the General Assembly that the research |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | and development credit under this subsection (k) shall apply | ||||||
2 | continuously for all tax years ending on or after December 31, | ||||||
3 | 2004 and ending prior to January 1, 2027, including, but not | ||||||
4 | limited to, the period beginning on January 1, 2016 and ending | ||||||
5 | on July 6, 2017 (the effective date of Public Act 100-22). All | ||||||
6 | actions taken in reliance on the continuation of the credit | ||||||
7 | under this subsection (k) by any taxpayer are hereby | ||||||
8 | validated. | ||||||
9 | (l) Environmental Remediation Tax Credit. | ||||||
10 | (i) For tax years ending after December 31, 1997 and | ||||||
11 | on or before
December 31, 2001, a taxpayer shall be | ||||||
12 | allowed a credit against the tax
imposed by subsections | ||||||
13 | (a) and (b) of this Section for certain amounts paid
for | ||||||
14 | unreimbursed eligible remediation costs, as specified in | ||||||
15 | this subsection.
For purposes of this Section, | ||||||
16 | "unreimbursed eligible remediation costs" means
costs | ||||||
17 | approved by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency | ||||||
18 | ("Agency") under
Section 58.14 of the Environmental | ||||||
19 | Protection Act that were paid in performing
environmental | ||||||
20 | remediation at a site for which a No Further Remediation | ||||||
21 | Letter
was issued by the Agency and recorded under Section | ||||||
22 | 58.10 of the Environmental
Protection Act. The credit must | ||||||
23 | be claimed for the taxable year in which
Agency approval | ||||||
24 | of the eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit | ||||||
25 | is
not available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any | ||||||
26 | related party caused or
contributed to, in any material |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | respect, a release of regulated substances on,
in, or | ||||||
2 | under the site that was identified and addressed by the | ||||||
3 | remedial
action pursuant to the Site Remediation Program | ||||||
4 | of the Environmental Protection
Act. After the Pollution | ||||||
5 | Control Board rules are adopted pursuant to the
Illinois | ||||||
6 | Administrative Procedure Act for the administration and | ||||||
7 | enforcement of
Section 58.9 of the Environmental | ||||||
8 | Protection Act, determinations as to credit
availability | ||||||
9 | for purposes of this Section shall be made consistent with | ||||||
10 | those
rules. For purposes of this Section, "taxpayer" | ||||||
11 | includes a person whose tax
attributes the taxpayer has | ||||||
12 | succeeded to under Section 381 of the Internal
Revenue | ||||||
13 | Code and "related party" includes the persons disallowed a | ||||||
14 | deduction
for losses by paragraphs (b), (c), and (f)(1) of | ||||||
15 | Section 267 of the Internal
Revenue Code by virtue of | ||||||
16 | being a related taxpayer, as well as any of its
partners. | ||||||
17 | The credit allowed against the tax imposed by subsections | ||||||
18 | (a) and
(b) shall be equal to 25% of the unreimbursed | ||||||
19 | eligible remediation costs in
excess of $100,000 per site, | ||||||
20 | except that the $100,000 threshold shall not apply
to any | ||||||
21 | site contained in an enterprise zone as determined by the | ||||||
22 | Department of
Commerce and Community Affairs (now | ||||||
23 | Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity). The | ||||||
24 | total credit allowed shall not exceed
$40,000 per year | ||||||
25 | with a maximum total of $150,000 per site. For partners | ||||||
26 | and
shareholders of subchapter S corporations, there shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | be allowed a credit
under this subsection to be determined | ||||||
2 | in accordance with the determination of
income and | ||||||
3 | distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704 | ||||||
4 | and
subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. | ||||||
5 | (ii) A credit allowed under this subsection that is | ||||||
6 | unused in the year
the credit is earned may be carried | ||||||
7 | forward to each of the 5 taxable years
following the year | ||||||
8 | for which the credit is first earned until it is used.
The | ||||||
9 | term "unused credit" does not include any amounts of | ||||||
10 | unreimbursed eligible
remediation costs in excess of the | ||||||
11 | maximum credit per site authorized under
paragraph (i). | ||||||
12 | This credit shall be applied first to the earliest year
| ||||||
13 | for which there is a liability. If there is a credit under | ||||||
14 | this subsection
from more than one tax year that is | ||||||
15 | available to offset a liability, the
earliest credit | ||||||
16 | arising under this subsection shall be applied first. A
| ||||||
17 | credit allowed under this subsection may be sold to a | ||||||
18 | buyer as part of a sale
of all or part of the remediation | ||||||
19 | site for which the credit was granted. The
purchaser of a | ||||||
20 | remediation site and the tax credit shall succeed to the | ||||||
21 | unused
credit and remaining carry-forward period of the | ||||||
22 | seller. To perfect the
transfer, the assignor shall record | ||||||
23 | the transfer in the chain of title for the
site and provide | ||||||
24 | written notice to the Director of the Illinois Department | ||||||
25 | of
Revenue of the assignor's intent to sell the | ||||||
26 | remediation site and the amount of
the tax credit to be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | transferred as a portion of the sale. In no event may a
| ||||||
2 | credit be transferred to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or a | ||||||
3 | related party would
not be eligible under the provisions | ||||||
4 | of subsection (i). | ||||||
5 | (iii) For purposes of this Section, the term "site" | ||||||
6 | shall have the same
meaning as under Section 58.2 of the | ||||||
7 | Environmental Protection Act. | ||||||
8 | (m) Education expense credit. Beginning with tax years | ||||||
9 | ending after
December 31, 1999, a taxpayer who
is the | ||||||
10 | custodian of one or more qualifying pupils shall be allowed a | ||||||
11 | credit
against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of | ||||||
12 | this Section for
qualified education expenses incurred on | ||||||
13 | behalf of the qualifying pupils.
The credit shall be equal to | ||||||
14 | 25% of qualified education expenses, but in no
event may the | ||||||
15 | total credit under this subsection claimed by a
family that is | ||||||
16 | the
custodian of qualifying pupils exceed (i) $500 for tax | ||||||
17 | years ending prior to December 31, 2017, and (ii) $750 for tax | ||||||
18 | years ending on or after December 31, 2017. In no event shall a | ||||||
19 | credit under
this subsection reduce the taxpayer's liability | ||||||
20 | under this Act to less than
zero. Notwithstanding any other | ||||||
21 | provision of law, for taxable years beginning on or after | ||||||
22 | January 1, 2017, no taxpayer may claim a credit under this | ||||||
23 | subsection (m) if the taxpayer's adjusted gross income for the | ||||||
24 | taxable year exceeds (i) $500,000, in the case of spouses | ||||||
25 | filing a joint federal tax return or (ii) $250,000, in the case | ||||||
26 | of all other taxpayers. This subsection is exempt from the |
| |||||||

School Code, | ||||||
18 | except that nothing shall be construed to require a child to
| ||||||
19 | attend any particular public or nonpublic school to qualify | ||||||
20 | for the credit
under this Section. | ||||||
21 | "Custodian" means, with respect to qualifying pupils, an | ||||||
22 | Illinois resident
who is a parent, the parents, a legal | ||||||

5 | this Section, "unreimbursed eligible remediation costs" | ||||||
6 | means costs approved by the Illinois Environmental | ||||||
7 | Protection Agency ("Agency") under Section 58.14a of the | ||||||
8 | Environmental Protection Act that were paid in performing | ||||||

10 | Redevelopment Zone for which a No Further Remediation | ||||||
11 | Letter was issued by the Agency and recorded under Section | ||||||
12 | 58.10 of the Environmental Protection Act. The credit must | ||||||
13 | be claimed for the taxable year in which Agency approval | ||||||
14 | of the eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit | ||||||
15 | is not available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any | ||||||
16 | related party caused or contributed to, in any material | ||||||
17 | respect, a release of regulated substances on, in, or | ||||||
18 | under the site that was identified and addressed by the | ||||||
19 | remedial action pursuant to the Site Remediation Program | ||||||
20 | of the Environmental Protection Act. Determinations as to | ||||||
21 | credit availability for purposes of this Section shall be | ||||||
22 | made consistent with rules adopted by the Pollution | ||||||
23 | Control Board pursuant to the Illinois Administrative | ||||||
24 | Procedure Act for the administration and enforcement of | ||||||
25 | Section 58.9 of the Environmental Protection Act. For | ||||||
26 | purposes of this Section, "taxpayer" includes a person |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | whose tax attributes the taxpayer has succeeded to under | ||||||
2 | Section 381 of the Internal Revenue Code and "related | ||||||
3 | party" includes the persons disallowed a deduction for | ||||||
4 | losses by paragraphs (b), (c), and (f)(1) of Section 267 | ||||||
5 | of the Internal Revenue Code by virtue of being a related | ||||||
6 | taxpayer, as well as any of its partners. The credit | ||||||
7 | allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) | ||||||
8 | shall be equal to 25% of the unreimbursed eligible | ||||||
9 | remediation costs in excess of $100,000 per site. | ||||||
10 | (ii) A credit allowed under this subsection that is | ||||||
11 | unused in the year the credit is earned may be carried | ||||||
12 | forward to each of the 5 taxable years following the year | ||||||
13 | for which the credit is first earned until it is used. This | ||||||
14 | credit shall be applied first to the earliest year for | ||||||
15 | which there is a liability. If there is a credit under this | ||||||
16 | subsection from more than one tax year that is available | ||||||
17 | to offset a liability, the earliest credit arising under | ||||||
18 | this subsection shall be applied first. A credit allowed | ||||||
19 | under this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a | ||||||
20 | sale of all or part of the remediation site for which the | ||||||
21 | credit was granted. The purchaser of a remediation site | ||||||
22 | and the tax credit shall succeed to the unused credit and | ||||||
23 | remaining carry-forward period of the seller. To perfect | ||||||
24 | the transfer, the assignor shall record the transfer in | ||||||
25 | the chain of title for the site and provide written notice | ||||||
26 | to the Director of the Illinois Department of Revenue of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the assignor's intent to sell the remediation site and the | ||||||
2 | amount of the tax credit to be transferred as a portion of | ||||||
3 | the sale. In no event may a credit be transferred to any | ||||||
4 | taxpayer if the taxpayer or a related party would not be | ||||||
5 | eligible under the provisions of subsection (i). | ||||||
6 | (iii) For purposes of this Section, the term "site" | ||||||
7 | shall have the same meaning as under Section 58.2 of the | ||||||
8 | Environmental Protection Act. | ||||||
9 | (o) For each of taxable years during the Compassionate Use | ||||||
10 | of Medical Cannabis Program, a surcharge is imposed on all | ||||||
11 | taxpayers on income arising from the sale or exchange of | ||||||
12 | capital assets, depreciable business property, real property | ||||||
13 | used in the trade or business, and Section 197 intangibles of | ||||||
14 | an organization registrant under the Compassionate Use of | ||||||
15 | Medical Cannabis Program Act. The amount of the surcharge is | ||||||
16 | equal to the amount of federal income tax liability for the | ||||||
17 | taxable year attributable to those sales and exchanges. The | ||||||
18 | surcharge imposed does not apply if: | ||||||
19 | (1) the medical cannabis cultivation center | ||||||
20 | registration, medical cannabis dispensary registration, or | ||||||
21 | the property of a registration is transferred as a result | ||||||
22 | of any of the following: | ||||||

18 | of the registration when the registration was issued; | ||||||
19 | or | ||||||
20 | (2) the cannabis cultivation center registration, | ||||||
21 | medical cannabis dispensary registration, or the | ||||||
22 | controlling interest in a registrant's property is | ||||||

5 | 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code) or Subchapter S | ||||||
6 | corporation may elect to apply the provisions of this | ||||||
7 | subsection. A separate election shall be made for each | ||||||
8 | taxable year. Such election shall be made at such time, | ||||||
9 | and in such form and manner as prescribed by the | ||||||
10 | Department, and, once made, is irrevocable. | ||||||
11 | (2) Entity-level tax. A partnership or Subchapter S | ||||||
12 | corporation electing to apply the provisions of this | ||||||
13 | subsection shall be subject to a tax for the privilege of | ||||||
14 | earning or receiving income in this State in an amount | ||||||
15 | equal to 4.95% of the taxpayer's net income for the | ||||||
16 | taxable year. | ||||||
17 | (3) Net income defined. | ||||||
18 | (A) In general. For purposes of paragraph (2), the | ||||||
19 | term net income has the same meaning as defined in | ||||||

7 | partner of another taxpayer making the election under | ||||||
8 | paragraph (1), net income shall be computed as | ||||||
9 | provided in subparagraph (A), except that the taxpayer | ||||||
10 | shall subtract its distributive share of the net | ||||||
11 | income of the electing partnership (including its | ||||||
12 | distributive share of the net income of the electing | ||||||
13 | partnership derived as a distributive share from | ||||||
14 | electing partnerships in which it is a partner). | ||||||
15 | (4) Credit for entity level tax. Each partner or | ||||||
16 | shareholder of a taxpayer making the election under this | ||||||
17 | Section shall be allowed a credit against the tax imposed | ||||||
18 | under subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of this Act | ||||||
19 | for the taxable year of the partnership or Subchapter S | ||||||
20 | corporation for which an election is in effect ending | ||||||
21 | within or with the taxable year of the partner or | ||||||
22 | shareholder in an amount equal to 4.95% times the partner | ||||||
23 | or shareholder's distributive share of the net income of | ||||||
24 | the electing partnership or Subchapter S corporation, but | ||||||
25 | not to exceed the partner's or shareholder's share of the | ||||||
26 | tax imposed under paragraph (1) which is actually paid by |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the partnership or Subchapter S corporation. If the | ||||||
2 | taxpayer is a partnership or Subchapter S corporation that | ||||||
3 | is itself a partner of a partnership making the election | ||||||
4 | under paragraph (1), the credit under this paragraph shall | ||||||
5 | be allowed to the taxpayer's partners or shareholders (or | ||||||
6 | if the partner is a partnership or Subchapter S | ||||||
7 | corporation then its partners or shareholders) in | ||||||
8 | accordance with the determination of income and | ||||||
9 | distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704 | ||||||
10 | and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. If the | ||||||
11 | amount of the credit allowed under this paragraph exceeds | ||||||
12 | the partner's or shareholder's liability for tax imposed | ||||||
13 | under subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of this Act | ||||||
14 | for the taxable year, such excess shall be treated as an | ||||||
15 | overpayment for purposes of Section 909 of this Act. | ||||||
16 | (5) Nonresidents. A nonresident individual who is a | ||||||
17 | partner or shareholder of a partnership or Subchapter S | ||||||
18 | corporation for a taxable year for which an election is in | ||||||
19 | effect under paragraph (1) shall not be required to file | ||||||
20 | an income tax return under this Act for such taxable year | ||||||
21 | if the only source of net income of the individual (or the | ||||||
22 | individual and the individual's spouse in the case of a | ||||||
23 | joint return) is from an entity making the election under | ||||||
24 | paragraph (1) and the credit allowed to the partner or | ||||||
25 | shareholder under paragraph (4) equals or exceeds the | ||||||
26 | individual's liability for the tax imposed under |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of this Act for the | ||||||
2 | taxable year. | ||||||
3 | (6) Liability for tax. Except as provided in this | ||||||
4 | paragraph, a partnership or Subchapter S making the | ||||||
5 | election under paragraph (1) is liable for the | ||||||
6 | entity-level tax imposed under paragraph (2). If the | ||||||
7 | electing partnership or corporation fails to pay the full | ||||||
8 | amount of tax deemed assessed under paragraph (2), the | ||||||
9 | partners or shareholders shall be liable to pay the tax | ||||||
10 | assessed (including penalties and interest). Each partner | ||||||
11 | or shareholder shall be liable for the unpaid assessment | ||||||
12 | based on the ratio of the partner's or shareholder's share | ||||||
13 | of the net income of the partnership over the total net | ||||||
14 | income of the partnership. If the partnership or | ||||||
15 | Subchapter S corporation fails to pay the tax assessed | ||||||
16 | (including penalties and interest) and thereafter an | ||||||
17 | amount of such tax is paid by the partners or | ||||||
18 | shareholders, such amount shall not be collected from the | ||||||
19 | partnership or corporation. | ||||||
20 | (7) Foreign tax. For purposes of the credit allowed | ||||||
21 | under Section 601(b)(3) of this Act, tax paid by a | ||||||
22 | partnership or Subchapter S corporation to another state | ||||||
23 | which, as determined by the Department, is substantially | ||||||
24 | similar to the tax imposed under this subsection, shall be | ||||||
25 | considered tax paid by the partner or shareholder to the | ||||||
26 | extent that the partner's or shareholder's share of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | income of the partnership or Subchapter S corporation | ||||||
2 | allocated and apportioned to such other state bears to the | ||||||
3 | total income of the partnership or Subchapter S | ||||||
4 | corporation allocated or apportioned to such other state. | ||||||
5 | (8) Suspension of withholding. The provisions of | ||||||
6 | Section 709.5 of this Act shall not apply to a partnership | ||||||
7 | or Subchapter S corporation for the taxable year for which | ||||||
8 | an election under paragraph (1) is in effect. | ||||||
9 | (9) Requirement to pay estimated tax. For each taxable | ||||||
10 | year for which an election under paragraph (1) is in | ||||||
11 | effect, a partnership or Subchapter S corporation is | ||||||
12 | required to pay estimated tax for such taxable year under | ||||||
13 | Sections 803 and 804 of this Act if the amount payable as | ||||||
14 | estimated tax can reasonably be expected to exceed $500. | ||||||
15 | (10) The provisions of this subsection shall apply | ||||||
16 | only with respect to taxable years for which the | ||||||
17 | limitation on individual deductions applies under Section | ||||||
18 | 164(b)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code. | ||||||
19 | (Source: P.A. 101-9, eff. 6-5-19; 101-31, eff. 6-28-19; | ||||||

17 | (d) Regulatory authority. The Department may, by rule: | ||||||

19 | subsections (b) and (c), to file annual returns due on or | ||||||
20 | before January 31 of the year for taxes withheld or | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | due date for such return. | ||||||

8 | (3) Designate one or more depositories to which | ||||||
9 | payment of taxes required to be withheld under this | ||||||

11 | (4) Increase the threshold dollar amounts at which | ||||||
12 | employers are required to make semi-weekly payments under | ||||||
13 | subsection (c)(1) or (c)(2). | ||||||

15 | and withholds or is required to deduct and withhold tax from a | ||||||
16 | person engaged in domestic service employment, as that term is | ||||||
17 | defined in Section 3510 of the Internal Revenue Code, may | ||||||
18 | comply with the requirements of this Section with respect to | ||||||
19 | such employees by filing an annual return and paying the taxes | ||||||
20 | required to be deducted and withheld on or before the 15th day | ||||||
21 | of the fourth month following the close of the employer's | ||||||
22 | taxable year. The Department may allow the employer's return | ||||||
23 | to be submitted with the employer's individual income tax | ||||||
24 | return or to be submitted with a return due from the employer | ||||||
25 | under Section 1400.2 of the Unemployment Insurance Act. | ||||||
26 | (f) Magnetic media and electronic filing. With respect to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | taxes withheld in calendar years prior to 2017, any W-2 Form | ||||||
2 | that, under the Internal Revenue Code and regulations | ||||||
3 | promulgated thereunder, is required to be submitted to the | ||||||
4 | Internal Revenue Service on magnetic media or electronically | ||||||
5 | must also be submitted to the Department on magnetic media or | ||||||
6 | electronically for Illinois purposes, if required by the | ||||||

10 | return (including any amended return) under this Section and | ||||||
11 | any W-2 Form that is required to be submitted to the Department | ||||||
12 | must be submitted on magnetic media or electronically. | ||||||
13 | The due date for submitting W-2 Forms shall be as | ||||||
14 | prescribed by the Department by rule. | ||||||
15 | (g) For amounts deducted or withheld after December 31, | ||||||
16 | 2009, a taxpayer who makes an election under subsection (f) of | ||||||
17 | Section 5-15 of the Economic Development for a Growing Economy | ||||||
18 | Tax Credit Act for a taxable year shall be allowed a credit | ||||||
19 | against payments due under this Section for amounts withheld | ||||||
20 | during the first calendar year beginning after the end of that | ||||||
21 | taxable year equal to the amount of the credit for the | ||||||
22 | incremental income tax attributable to full-time employees of | ||||||
23 | the taxpayer awarded to the taxpayer by the Department of | ||||||
24 | Commerce and Economic Opportunity under the Economic | ||||||
25 | Development for a Growing Economy Tax Credit Act for the | ||||||
26 | taxable year and credits not previously claimed and allowed to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | be carried forward under Section 211(4) of this Act as | ||||||
2 | provided in subsection (f) of Section 5-15 of the Economic | ||||||
3 | Development for a Growing Economy Tax Credit Act. The credit | ||||||
4 | or credits may not reduce the taxpayer's obligation for any | ||||||
5 | payment due under this Section to less than zero. If the amount | ||||||
6 | of the credit or credits exceeds the total payments due under | ||||||
7 | this Section with respect to amounts withheld during the | ||||||
8 | calendar year, the excess may be carried forward and applied | ||||||
9 | against the taxpayer's liability under this Section in the | ||||||
10 | succeeding calendar years as allowed to be carried forward | ||||||
11 | under paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act. The credit or | ||||||
12 | credits shall be applied to the earliest year for which there | ||||||
13 | is a tax liability. If there are credits from more than one | ||||||
14 | taxable year that are available to offset a liability, the | ||||||
15 | earlier credit shall be applied first. Each employer who | ||||||
16 | deducts and withholds or is required to deduct and withhold | ||||||
17 | tax under this Act and who retains income tax withholdings | ||||||
18 | under subsection (f) of Section 5-15 of the Economic | ||||||
19 | Development for a Growing Economy Tax Credit Act must make a | ||||||
20 | return with respect to such taxes and retained amounts in the | ||||||
21 | form and manner that the Department, by rule, requires and pay | ||||||
22 | to the Department or to a depositary designated by the | ||||||
23 | Department those withheld taxes not retained by the taxpayer. | ||||||
24 | For purposes of this subsection (g), the term taxpayer shall | ||||||
25 | include taxpayer and members of the taxpayer's unitary | ||||||
26 | business group as defined under paragraph (27) of subsection |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (a) of Section 1501 of this Act. This Section is exempt from | ||||||
2 | the provisions of Section 250 of this Act. No credit awarded | ||||||
3 | under the Economic Development for a Growing Economy Tax | ||||||
4 | Credit Act for agreements entered into on or after January 1, | ||||||
5 | 2015 may be credited against payments due under this Section. | ||||||
6 | (g-1) For amounts deducted or withheld after December 31, | ||||||
7 | 2024, a taxpayer who makes an election under the Reimagining | ||||||
8 | Electric Vehicles in Illinois Act shall be allowed a credit | ||||||
9 | against payments due under this Section for amounts withheld | ||||||
10 | during the first quarterly reporting period beginning after | ||||||
11 | the certificate is issued equal to the portion of the REV | ||||||
12 | Illinois Credit attributable to the incremental income tax | ||||||
13 | attributable to new employees and retained employees as | ||||||
14 | certified by the Department of Commerce and Economic | ||||||
15 | Opportunity pursuant to an agreement with the taxpayer under | ||||||
16 | the Reimagining Electric Vehicles in Illinois Act for the | ||||||
17 | taxable year. The credit or credits may not reduce the | ||||||
18 | taxpayer's obligation for any payment due under this Section | ||||||
19 | to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or credits | ||||||
20 | exceeds the total payments due under this Section with respect | ||||||
21 | to amounts withheld during the quarterly reporting period, the | ||||||
22 | excess may be carried forward and applied against the | ||||||
23 | taxpayer's liability under this Section in the succeeding | ||||||
24 | quarterly reporting period as allowed to be carried forward | ||||||
25 | under paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act. The credit or | ||||||
26 | credits shall be applied to the earliest quarterly reporting |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | period for which there is a tax liability. If there are credits | ||||||
2 | from more than one quarterly reporting period that are | ||||||
3 | available to offset a liability, the earlier credit shall be | ||||||
4 | applied first. Each employer who deducts and withholds or is | ||||||
5 | required to deduct and withhold tax under this Act and who | ||||||
6 | retains income tax withholdings this subsection must make a | ||||||
7 | return with respect to such taxes and retained amounts in the | ||||||
8 | form and manner that the Department, by rule, requires and pay | ||||||
9 | to the Department or to a depositary designated by the | ||||||
10 | Department those withheld taxes not retained by the taxpayer. | ||||||
11 | For purposes of this subsection (g-1), the term taxpayer shall | ||||||
12 | include taxpayer and members of the taxpayer's unitary | ||||||
13 | business group as defined under paragraph (27) of subsection | ||||||
14 | (a) of Section 1501 of this Act. This Section is exempt from | ||||||
15 | the provisions of Section 250 of this Act. | ||||||
16 | (g-2) For amounts deducted or withheld after December 31, | ||||||
17 | 2024, a taxpayer who makes an election under the Manufacturing | ||||||
18 | Illinois Chips for Real Opportunity (MICRO) Act shall be | ||||||
19 | allowed a credit against payments due under this Section for | ||||||
20 | amounts withheld during the first quarterly reporting period | ||||||
21 | beginning after the certificate is issued equal to the portion | ||||||
22 | of the MICRO Illinois Credit attributable to the incremental | ||||||
23 | income tax attributable to new employees and retained | ||||||
24 | employees as certified by the Department of Commerce and | ||||||
25 | Economic Opportunity pursuant to an agreement with the | ||||||
26 | taxpayer under the Manufacturing Illinois Chips for Real |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Opportunity (MICRO) Act for the taxable year. The credit or | ||||||
2 | credits may not reduce the taxpayer's obligation for any | ||||||
3 | payment due under this Section to less than zero. If the amount | ||||||
4 | of the credit or credits exceeds the total payments due under | ||||||
5 | this Section with respect to amounts withheld during the | ||||||
6 | quarterly reporting period, the excess may be carried forward | ||||||
7 | and applied against the taxpayer's liability under this | ||||||
8 | Section in the succeeding quarterly reporting period as | ||||||
9 | allowed to be carried forward under paragraph (4) of Section | ||||||
10 | 211 of this Act. The credit or credits shall be applied to the | ||||||
11 | earliest quarterly reporting period for which there is a tax | ||||||
12 | liability. If there are credits from more than one quarterly | ||||||
13 | reporting period that are available to offset a liability, the | ||||||
14 | earlier credit shall be applied first. Each employer who | ||||||
15 | deducts and withholds or is required to deduct and withhold | ||||||
16 | tax under this Act and who retains income tax withholdings | ||||||
17 | this subsection must make a return with respect to such taxes | ||||||
18 | and retained amounts in the form and manner that the | ||||||
19 | Department, by rule, requires and pay to the Department or to a | ||||||
20 | depositary designated by the Department those withheld taxes | ||||||
21 | not retained by the taxpayer. For purposes of this subsection, | ||||||
22 | the term taxpayer shall include taxpayer and members of the | ||||||
23 | taxpayer's unitary business group as defined under paragraph | ||||||
24 | (27) of subsection (a) of Section 1501 of this Act. This | ||||||
25 | Section is exempt from the provisions of Section 250 of this | ||||||
26 | Act. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (g-3) A taxpayer who makes an election under subsection | ||||||
2 | (k) of Section 201 of this Act for a taxable year shall be | ||||||
3 | allowed a credit against payments due under this Section for | ||||||
4 | amounts withheld during the first calendar year beginning | ||||||
5 | after the last day of the taxable year for which the election | ||||||
6 | is made. The credit against withholding shall be equal to the | ||||||
7 | amount of the credit allowed under subsection (k) of Section | ||||||
8 | 201 of this Act. The credit or credits may not reduce the | ||||||
9 | taxpayer's obligation for any payment due under this Section | ||||||
10 | to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or credits | ||||||
11 | exceeds the total payments due under this Section with respect | ||||||
12 | to amounts withheld during the calendar year, the excess may | ||||||
13 | be carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's | ||||||
14 | liability under this Section in the succeeding calendar years | ||||||
15 | as allowed to be carried forward under paragraph (4) of | ||||||
16 | Section 211 of this Act. The credit or credits shall be applied | ||||||
17 | to the earliest year for which there is a tax liability. If | ||||||
18 | there are credits from more than one taxable year that are | ||||||
19 | available to offset a liability, the earlier credit shall be | ||||||
20 | applied first. Each employer who deducts and withholds or is | ||||||
21 | required to deduct and withhold tax under this Act and who | ||||||
22 | elects to take a credit against taxes imposed under this | ||||||
23 | Section pursuant to subsection (k) of Section 201 of this Act | ||||||
24 | must make a return with respect to such taxes and retained | ||||||
25 | amounts in the form and manner that the Department, by rule, | ||||||
26 | requires and pay to the Department or to a depositary |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | designated by the Department those withheld taxes not retained | ||||||
2 | by the taxpayer. | ||||||
3 | (h) An employer may claim a credit against payments due | ||||||
4 | under this Section for amounts withheld during the first | ||||||
5 | calendar year ending after the date on which a tax credit | ||||||
6 | certificate was issued under Section 35 of the Small Business | ||||||
7 | Job Creation Tax Credit Act. The credit shall be equal to the | ||||||
8 | amount shown on the certificate, but may not reduce the | ||||||
9 | taxpayer's obligation for any payment due under this Section | ||||||
10 | to less than zero. If the amount of the credit exceeds the | ||||||
11 | total payments due under this Section with respect to amounts | ||||||
12 | withheld during the calendar year, the excess may be carried | ||||||
13 | forward and applied against the taxpayer's liability under | ||||||
14 | this Section in the 5 succeeding calendar years. The credit | ||||||
15 | shall be applied to the earliest year for which there is a tax | ||||||
16 | liability. If there are credits from more than one calendar | ||||||
17 | year that are available to offset a liability, the earlier | ||||||
18 | credit shall be applied first. This Section is exempt from the | ||||||
19 | provisions of Section 250 of this Act. | ||||||
20 | (i) Each employer with 50 or fewer full-time equivalent | ||||||
21 | employees during the reporting period may claim a credit | ||||||
22 | against the payments due under this Section for each qualified | ||||||
23 | employee in an amount equal to the maximum credit allowable. | ||||||
24 | The credit may be taken against payments due for reporting | ||||||
25 | periods that begin on or after January 1, 2020, and end on or | ||||||
26 | before December 31, 2027. An employer may not claim a credit |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | for an employee who has worked fewer than 90 consecutive days | ||||||
2 | immediately preceding the reporting period; however, such | ||||||
3 | credits may accrue during that 90-day period and be claimed | ||||||
4 | against payments under this Section for future reporting | ||||||
5 | periods after the employee has worked for the employer at | ||||||
6 | least 90 consecutive days. In no event may the credit exceed | ||||||
7 | the employer's liability for the reporting period. Each | ||||||
8 | employer who deducts and withholds or is required to deduct | ||||||
9 | and withhold tax under this Act and who retains income tax | ||||||
10 | withholdings under this subsection must make a return with | ||||||
11 | respect to such taxes and retained amounts in the form and | ||||||
12 | manner that the Department, by rule, requires and pay to the | ||||||
13 | Department or to a depositary designated by the Department | ||||||
14 | those withheld taxes not retained by the employer. | ||||||
15 | For each reporting period, the employer may not claim a | ||||||
16 | credit or credits for more employees than the number of | ||||||
17 | employees making less than the minimum or reduced wage for the | ||||||
18 | current calendar year during the last reporting period of the | ||||||
19 | preceding calendar year. Notwithstanding any other provision | ||||||
20 | of this subsection, an employer shall not be eligible for | ||||||
21 | credits for a reporting period unless the average wage paid by | ||||||
22 | the employer per employee for all employees making less than | ||||||
23 | $55,000 during the reporting period is greater than the | ||||||
24 | average wage paid by the employer per employee for all | ||||||
25 | employees making less than $55,000 during the same reporting | ||||||
26 | period of the prior calendar year. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | For purposes of this subsection (i): | ||||||
2 | "Compensation paid in Illinois" has the meaning ascribed | ||||||
3 | to that term under Section 304(a)(2)(B) of this Act. | ||||||
4 | "Employer" and "employee" have the meaning ascribed to | ||||||
5 | those terms in the Minimum Wage Law, except that "employee" | ||||||
6 | also includes employees who work for an employer with fewer | ||||||
7 | than 4 employees. Employers that operate more than one | ||||||
8 | establishment pursuant to a franchise agreement or that | ||||||
9 | constitute members of a unitary business group shall aggregate | ||||||
10 | their employees for purposes of determining eligibility for | ||||||
11 | the credit. | ||||||
12 | "Full-time equivalent employees" means the ratio of the | ||||||
13 | number of paid hours during the reporting period and the | ||||||
14 | number of working hours in that period. | ||||||
15 | "Maximum credit" means the percentage listed below of the | ||||||
16 | difference between the amount of compensation paid in Illinois | ||||||
17 | to employees who are paid not more than the required minimum | ||||||
18 | wage reduced by the amount of compensation paid in Illinois to | ||||||
19 | employees who were paid less than the current required minimum | ||||||
20 | wage during the reporting period prior to each increase in the | ||||||
21 | required minimum wage on January 1. If an employer pays an | ||||||
22 | employee more than the required minimum wage and that employee | ||||||
23 | previously earned less than the required minimum wage, the | ||||||
24 | employer may include the portion that does not exceed the | ||||||
25 | required minimum wage as compensation paid in Illinois to | ||||||
26 | employees who are paid not more than the required minimum |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | wage. | ||||||
2 | (1) 25% for reporting periods beginning on or after | ||||||
3 | January 1, 2020 and ending on or before December 31, 2020; | ||||||
4 | (2) 21% for reporting periods beginning on or after | ||||||
5 | January 1, 2021 and ending on or before December 31, 2021; | ||||||
6 | (3) 17% for reporting periods beginning on or after | ||||||
7 | January 1, 2022 and ending on or before December 31, 2022; | ||||||
8 | (4) 13% for reporting periods beginning on or after | ||||||
9 | January 1, 2023 and ending on or before December 31, 2023; | ||||||
10 | (5) 9% for reporting periods beginning on or after | ||||||
11 | January 1, 2024 and ending on or before December 31, 2024; | ||||||
12 | (6) 5% for reporting periods beginning on or after | ||||||
13 | January 1, 2025 and ending on or before December 31, 2025. | ||||||
14 | The amount computed under this subsection may continue to | ||||||
15 | be claimed for reporting periods beginning on or after January | ||||||
16 | 1, 2026 and: | ||||||
17 | (A) ending on or before December 31, 2026 for | ||||||
18 | employers with more than 5 employees; or | ||||||
19 | (B) ending on or before December 31, 2027 for | ||||||
20 | employers with no more than 5 employees. | ||||||
21 | "Qualified employee" means an employee who is paid not | ||||||
22 | more than the required minimum wage and has an average wage | ||||||
23 | paid per hour by the employer during the reporting period | ||||||
24 | equal to or greater than his or her average wage paid per hour | ||||||
25 | by the employer during each reporting period for the | ||||||
26 | immediately preceding 12 months. A new qualified employee is |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | deemed to have earned the required minimum wage in the | ||||||
2 | preceding reporting period. | ||||||
3 | "Reporting period" means the quarter for which a return is | ||||||
4 | required to be filed under subsection (b) of this Section. | ||||||
5 | (j) For reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, | ||||||
6 | 2023, if a private employer grants all of its employees the | ||||||
7 | option of taking a paid leave of absence of at least 30 days | ||||||
8 | for the purpose of serving as an organ donor or bone marrow | ||||||
9 | donor, then the private employer may take a credit against the | ||||||
10 | payments due under this Section in an amount equal to the | ||||||
11 | amount withheld under this Section with respect to wages paid | ||||||
12 | while the employee is on organ donation leave, not to exceed | ||||||
13 | $1,000 in withholdings for each employee who takes organ | ||||||
14 | donation leave. To be eligible for the credit, such a leave of | ||||||
15 | absence must be taken without loss of pay, vacation time,
| ||||||
16 | compensatory time, personal days, or sick time for at least | ||||||
17 | the first 30 days of the leave of absence. The private employer | ||||||
18 | shall adopt rules governing organ donation leave, including | ||||||
19 | rules that (i) establish conditions and procedures for | ||||||
20 | requesting and approving leave and (ii) require medical | ||||||
21 | documentation of the proposed organ or bone marrow donation | ||||||
22 | before leave is approved by the private employer. A private | ||||||
23 | employer must provide, in the manner required by the | ||||||
24 | Department, documentation from the employee's medical | ||||||
25 | provider, which the private employer receives from the | ||||||
26 | employee, that verifies the employee's organ donation. The |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | private employer must also provide, in the manner required by | ||||||
2 | the Department, documentation that shows that a qualifying | ||||||
3 | organ donor leave policy was in place and offered to all | ||||||
4 | qualifying employees at the time the leave was taken. For the | ||||||
5 | private employer to receive the tax credit, the employee | ||||||
6 | taking organ donor leave must allow for the applicable medical | ||||||
7 | records to be disclosed to the Department. If the private | ||||||
8 | employer cannot provide the required documentation to the | ||||||
9 | Department, then the private employer is ineligible for the | ||||||
10 | credit under this Section. A private employer must also | ||||||
11 | provide, in the form required by the Department, any | ||||||
12 | additional documentation or information required by the | ||||||
13 | Department to administer the credit under this Section. The | ||||||
14 | credit under this subsection (j) shall be taken within one | ||||||
15 | year after the date upon which the organ donation leave | ||||||
16 | begins. If the leave taken spans into a second tax year, the | ||||||
17 | employer qualifies for the allowable credit in the later of | ||||||
18 | the 2 years. If the amount of credit exceeds the tax liability | ||||||
19 | for the year, the excess may be carried and applied to the tax | ||||||
20 | liability for the 3 taxable years following the excess credit | ||||||
21 | year. The tax credit shall be applied to the earliest year for | ||||||
22 | which there is a tax liability. If there are credits for more | ||||||
23 | than one year that are available to offset liability, the | ||||||
24 | earlier credit shall be applied first. | ||||||
25 | Nothing in this subsection (j) prohibits a private | ||||||
26 | employer from providing an unpaid leave of absence to its |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | employees for the purpose of serving as an organ donor or bone | ||||||
2 | marrow donor; however, if the employer's policy provides for | ||||||
3 | fewer than 30 days of paid leave for organ or bone marrow | ||||||
4 | donation, then the employer shall not be eligible for the | ||||||
5 | credit under this Section. | ||||||
6 | As used in this subsection (j): | ||||||
7 | "Organ" means any biological tissue of the human body that | ||||||
8 | may be donated by a living donor, including, but not limited | ||||||
9 | to, the kidney, liver, lung, pancreas, intestine, bone, skin, | ||||||
10 | or any subpart of those organs. | ||||||
11 | "Organ donor" means a person from whose body an organ is | ||||||
12 | taken to be transferred to the body of another person. | ||||||
13 | "Private employer" means a sole proprietorship, | ||||||
14 | corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or other | ||||||
15 | entity with one or more employees. "Private employer" does not | ||||||
16 | include a municipality, county, State agency, or other public | ||||||
17 | employer. | ||||||
18 | This subsection (j) is exempt from the provisions of | ||||||
19 | Section 250 of this Act. | ||||||
