Amendment Text

PAG LIN
  1  1    Amend Senate File 518 as follows:
  1  2    #1.  By striking everything after the enacting
  1  3 clause, and inserting the following:
  1  4    "Section 1.  Section 15.333, subsection 1, Code
  1  5 Supplement 1999, as amended by 2000 Iowa Acts, chapter
  1  6 1213, section 1, is amended to read as follows:
  1  7    1.  An eligible business may claim a corporate tax
  1  8 credit up to a maximum of ten percent of the new
  1  9 investment which is directly related to new jobs
  1 10 created by the location or expansion of an eligible
  1 11 business under the program.  Any credit in excess of
  1 12 the tax liability for the tax year may be credited to
  1 13 the tax liability for the following seven years or
  1 14 until depleted, whichever occurs earlier.  Subject to
  1 15 prior approval by the department of economic
  1 16 development in consultation with the department of
  1 17 revenue and finance, an eligible business whose
  1 18 project primarily involves the production of value-
  1 19 added agricultural products may elect to refund all or
  1 20 a portion of an unused tax credit.  For purposes of
  1 21 this section, an eligible business includes a
  1 22 cooperative described in section 521 of the Internal
  1 23 Revenue Code which is not required to file an Iowa
  1 24 corporate income tax return, and whose project
  1 25 primarily involves the production of ethanol.  The
  1 26 refund may be used against a tax liability imposed
  1 27 under chapter 422, division II, III, or V.  If the
  1 28 business is a partnership, subchapter S corporation,
  1 29 limited liability company, or estate or trust electing
  1 30 to have the income taxed directly to the individual,
  1 31 an individual may claim the tax credit allowed.  The
  1 32 amount claimed by the individual shall be based upon
  1 33 the pro rata share of the individual's earnings of the
  1 34 partnership, subchapter S corporation, limited
  1 35 liability company, or estate or trust.  For purposes
  1 36 of this section, "new investment directly related to
  1 37 new jobs created by the location or expansion of an
  1 38 eligible business under the program" means the cost of
  1 39 machinery and equipment, as defined in section 427A.1,
  1 40 subsection 1, paragraphs "e" and "j", purchased for
  1 41 use in the operation of the eligible business, the
  1 42 purchase price of which has been depreciated in
  1 43 accordance with generally accepted accounting
  1 44 principles, and the cost of improvements made to real
  1 45 property which is used in the operation of the
  1 46 eligible business and which receives a partial
  1 47 property tax exemption for the actual value added
  1 48 under section 15.332.
  1 49    1A.  An eligible business whose project primarily
  1 50 involves the production of value-added agricultural
  2  1 products, that elects to receive a refund of all or a
  2  2 portion of an unused tax credit, shall apply to the
  2  3 department of economic development for tax credit
  2  4 certificates.  An eligible business whose project
  2  5 primarily involves the production of value-added
  2  6 agricultural products shall not claim a tax credit
  2  7 under this section unless a tax credit certificate
  2  8 issued by the department of economic development is
  2  9 attached to the taxpayer's tax return for the tax year
  2 10 during which the tax credit is claimed.  For purposes
  2 11 of this section, an eligible business includes a
  2 12 cooperative described in section 521 of the Internal
  2 13 Revenue Code which is not required to file an Iowa
  2 14 corporate income tax return, and whose project
  2 15 primarily involves the production of ethanol.  A tax
  2 16 credit certificate shall not be valid until the tax
  2 17 year following the date of the project completion.  A
  2 18 tax credit certificate shall contain the taxpayer's
  2 19 name, address, tax identification number, the date of
  2 20 project completion, the amount of the tax credit,
  2 21 other information required by the department of
  2 22 revenue and finance.  The department of economic
  2 23 development shall not issue tax credit certificates
  2 24 which total more than four million dollars during a
  2 25 fiscal year.  If the department receives applications
  2 26 for tax credit certificates in excess of four million
  2 27 dollars, the applicants shall receive certificates for
  2 28 a prorated amount.  The tax credit certificates shall
  2 29 not be transferred.  For a cooperative described in
  2 30 section 521 of the Internal Revenue Code that is not
  2 31 required to file an Iowa corporate income tax return,
  2 32 the department of economic development shall require
  2 33 that the cooperative submit a list of its members and
  2 34 the share of each member's interest in the
  2 35 cooperative.  The department shall issue a tax credit
  2 36 certificate to each member contained on the submitted
  2 37 list.
