S.F. 2164 EXPLANATION 1 This bill relates to the annual report issued by the 2 department of revenue on research activities tax credit claims. 3 Current law provides that the research activities tax 4 credits available under Code sections 15.335 and 422.10, and 5 Code section 422.33, subsection 5, are refundable. In 2009, 6 the general assembly required the department of revenue to 7 issue an annual report containing the total amount of all 8 claims made by employers under the research activities tax 9 credit and the portion of those claims issued as refunds to 10 taxpayers. This bill eliminates the requirement that the 11 report contain the portion of claims issued as refunds. 12 The bill is effective upon enactment and applies 13 retroactively to research activities credit reports due to the 14 general assembly on or after February 15, 2010. 15 -2- LSB 6044XS (4) 83 tw/sc 2/ 2
