  4 17                           EXPLANATION
  4 18    This bill provides an income tax credit for retail dealers
  4 19 of gasoline (referred to as "dealers") who sell ethanol
  4 20 blended gasoline having an octane number of not less than 89
  4 21 (referred to as "designated ethanol blended gasoline" or
  4 22 "designated gasoline").  The tax credit applies to both
  4 23 taxpayers filing as individuals under Code section 422.11C and
  4 24 businesses under Code section 422.33.
  4 25    In order to claim the tax credit, more than 60 percent of
  4 26 gasoline sold and dispensed through a metered pump by the
  4 27 dealer must be designated gasoline.  The amount of the tax
  4 28 credit is equal to the product of two cents multiplied by the
  4 29 total number of gallons of designated gasoline that the dealer
  4 30 sells and dispenses.  Any credit in excess of the taxpayer's
  4 31 tax liability may be refunded or carried over to the following
  4 32 tax year.  The bill provides that an individual may claim the
  4 33 tax credit allowed a partnership, limited liability company, S

  5  5 periodically report to the department information regarding
  5  6 the sale of gasoline including designated gasoline.  A person
  5  7 who falsifies information is guilty of a fraudulent practice
  5  8 as provided in Code section 714.8.
  5  9    The bill applies to tax years beginning on or after January
  5 10 1, 2002.
