A taxpayer shall be allowed a14credit against the Personal Property Tax Replacement Income15Tax 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 service18 during the taxable year, provided such property is placed19 in service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed20 an additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of21 qualified property placed in service during the taxable22 year, provided such property is placed in service on or23 after July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment24 within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the25 preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's employment26 records filed with the Illinois Department of EmploymentSB3873 - 11 - LRB104 19192 HLH 32637 b1 Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be2 deemed to have met the 1% growth in base employment for the3 first year in which they file employment records with the4 Illinois Department of Employment Security. The provisions5 added to this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored6 by Public Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of7 existing law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year,8 the increase in base employment within Illinois over the9 preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit10 shall be limited to that percentage times a fraction, the11 numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is12 1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall13 not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a14 taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may15 any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year16 other than the year in which the property was placed in17 service in Illinois. For tax years ending on or after18 December 31, 1987, and on or before December 31, 1988, the19 credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the20 property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the21 credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it22 exceeds the original liability or the liability as later23 amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied to24 the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the25 excess credit years if the taxpayer (i) makes investments26 which cause the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-timeSB3873 - 12 - LRB104 19192 HLH 32637 b1 equivalent jobs in Illinois, (ii) is located in an2 enterprise zone established pursuant to the Illinois3 Enterprise Zone Act and (iii) is certified by the4 Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now5 Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) as6 complying with the requirements specified in clause (i)7 and (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and8 Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic9 Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all10 such certifications immediately. For tax years ending11 after December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for12 the tax year in which the property is placed in service,13 or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability14 for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability15 or the liability as later amended, such excess may be16 carried forward and applied to the tax liability of the 517 taxable years following the excess credit years. The18 credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which19 there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one20 tax year that is available to offset a liability, earlier21 credit shall be applied first.22 (2) The term "qualified property" means property23 which:24 (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including25 buildings and structural components of buildings and26 signs that are real property, but not including landSB3873 - 13 - LRB104 19192 HLH 32637 b1 or improvements to real property that are not a2 structural component of a building such as3 landscaping, sewer lines, local access roads, fencing,4 parking lots, and other appurtenances;5 (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the6 Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"7 as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not8 eligible for the credit provided by this subsection9 (e);10 (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section11 179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;12 (D) is used in Illinois by a taxpayer who is13 primarily engaged in manufacturing, or in mining coal14 or fluorite, or in retailing, or was placed in service15 on or after July 1, 2006 in a River Edge Redevelopment16 Zone established pursuant to the River Edge17 Redevelopment Zone Act; and18 (E) has not previously been used in Illinois in19 such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for20 the credit provided by this subsection (e) or21 subsection (f).22 (3) For purposes of this subsection (e),23 "manufacturing" means the material staging and production24 of tangible personal property by procedures commonly25 regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabrication, or26 assembling which changes some existing material into newSB3873 - 14 - LRB104 19192 HLH 32637 b1 shapes, new qualities, or new combinations. For purposes2 of this subsection (e) the term "mining" shall have the3 same meaning as the term "mining" in Section 613(c) of the4 Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this subsection5 (e), the term "retailing" means the sale of tangible6 personal property for use or consumption and not for7 resale, or services rendered in conjunction with the sale8 of tangible personal property for use or consumption and9 not for resale. For purposes of this subsection (e),10 "tangible personal property" has the same meaning as when11 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, or14 distribution of electricity.15 (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis16 used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal17 income tax purposes.18 (5) If the basis of the property for federal income19 tax depreciation purposes is increased after it has been20 placed in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount21 of such increase shall be deemed property placed in22 service on the date of such increase in basis.23 (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same24 meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.25 (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to26 be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer withinSB3873 - 15 - LRB104 19192 HLH 32637 b1 48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of2 any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 483 months after being placed in service, the Personal4 Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year5 shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined by6 (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have7 been allowed for the year in which credit for such8 property was originally allowed by eliminating such9 property from such computation and, (ii) subtracting such10 recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously11 allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (7), a12 reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting13 from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be14 deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent15 of such reduction.16 (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,17 the basis of qualified property shall not include costs18 incurred after December 31, 2018, except for costs19 incurred pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or20 before December 31, 2018.21 (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000,22 a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners23 the credits to which the partnership is entitled under24 this subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may25 use the credit allocated to him or her under this26 paragraph only against the tax imposed in subsections (c)SB3873 - 16 - LRB104 19192 HLH 32637 b1 and (d) of this Section. If the partnership makes that2 election, those credits shall be allocated among the3 partners in the partnership in accordance with the rules4 set forth in Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code,5 and the rules promulgated under that Section, and the6 allocated amount of the credits shall be allowed to the7 partners for that taxable year. The partnership shall make8 this election on its Personal Property Tax Replacement9 Income Tax return for that taxable year.

The credit18 is not available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any19 related party caused or contributed to, in any material20 respect, a release of regulated substances on, in, or21 under the site that was identified and addressed by the22 remedial action pursuant to the Site Remediation Program23 of the Environmental Protection Act.

This17 credit shall be applied first to the earliest year for18 which there is a liability. If there is a credit under this19 subsection from more than one tax year that is available20 to offset a liability, the earliest credit arising under21 this subsection shall be applied first. A credit allowed22 under this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a23 sale of all or part of the remediation site for which the24 credit was granted. The purchaser of a remediation site25 and the tax credit shall succeed to the unused credit and26 remaining carry-forward period of the seller.
