PAG LIN
  1  1    Section 1.  Section 15.333, subsection 1, Code Supplement
  1  2 2001, is amended to read as follows:
  1  3    1.  An eligible business may claim a corporate tax credit
  1  4 up to a maximum of ten percent of the new investment which is
  1  5 directly related to new jobs created by the location or
  1  6 expansion of an eligible business under the program.  Any
  1  7 credit in excess of the tax liability for the tax year may be
  1  8 credited to the tax liability for the following seven years or
  1  9 until depleted, whichever occurs earlier.  Subject to prior
  1 10 approval by the department of economic development in
  1 11 consultation with the department of revenue and finance, an
  1 12 eligible business whose project primarily involves the
  1 13 production of value-added agricultural products may elect to
  1 14 refund all or a portion of an unused tax credit.  For purposes
  1 15 of this section, an eligible business includes a cooperative
  1 16 described in section 521 of the Internal Revenue Code which is
  1 17 not required to file an Iowa corporate income tax return, and
  1 18 whose project primarily involves the production of ethanol.
  1 19 The refund may be used against a tax liability imposed under
  1 20 chapter 422, division II, III, or V.  If the business is a
  1 21 partnership, subchapter S corporation, limited liability
  1 22 company, or estate or trust electing to have the income taxed
  1 23 directly to the individual, an individual may claim the tax
  1 24 credit allowed.  The amount claimed by the individual shall be
  1 25 based upon the pro rata share of the individual's earnings of
  1 26 the partnership, subchapter S corporation, limited liability
  1 27 company, or estate or trust.
  1 28    For purposes of this section, an eligible business includes
  1 29 a cooperative described in section 521 of the Internal Revenue
  1 30 Code which is required to file an Iowa corporate income tax
  1 31 return and whose project primarily involves the production of
  1 32 ethanol may elect to transfer all or a portion of the tax
  1 33 credit to its members.  The amount of tax credit transferred
  1 34 and claimed by a member shall be based upon the pro rata share
  1 35 of the member's earnings of the cooperative.
  2  1    PARAGRAPH DIVIDED.  For purposes of this section, "new
  2  2 investment directly related to new jobs created by the
  2  3 location or expansion of an eligible business under the
  2  4 program" means the cost of machinery and equipment, as defined
  2  5 in section 427A.1, subsection 1, paragraphs "e" and "j",
  2  6 purchased for use in the operation of the eligible business,
  2  7 the purchase price of which has been depreciated in accordance
  2  8 with generally accepted accounting principles, and the cost of
  2  9 improvements made to real property which is used in the
  2 10 operation of the eligible business.
  2 11    Sec. 2.  APPLICABILITY DATE.  This Act applies
  2 12 retroactively to January 1, 2002, for tax years beginning on
  2 13 or after that date.  
  2 14                           EXPLANATION
  2 15    Under present law, a farmers' cooperative that owns an
  2 16 ethanol-producing facility which is not required to file an
  2 17 Iowa corporate income tax return is entitled to a tax credit
  2 18 under the new jobs and income program.  This tax credit is
  2 19 claimed by the members.  However, if the farmers' cooperative
  2 20 must file an Iowa corporate income tax return, all of the
  2 21 credit must be used by the cooperative.  This bill allows
  2 22 farmers' cooperatives to file Iowa corporate income tax
  2 23 returns to transfer all or a portion of the tax credit to its
  2 24 members.
  2 25    The bill applies retroactively to January 1, 2002, for tax
  2 26 years beginning on or after that date.
