What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, a corporation may claim income and franchise tax credits based on its qualified research expenses. A corporation may claim 5 percent of its increase in qualified research expenses over a base year, except that a corporation may claim 10 percent of the increase in qualified research expenses over the base year for qualified research expenses related to designing internal combustion engines for vehicles or designing and manufacturing certain energy efficient equipment. A corporation may also claim 5 percent of the amount it paid in the taxable year to construct and equip new facilities or expand existing facilities used in this state for qualified research, except that a corporation may claim 10 percent of such amounts if the research is related to designing internal combustion engines for vehicles or designing and manufacturing certain energy efficient equipment.

Under current law, partnerships, limited liability companies, tax-option corporations, partners of a partnership, members of a limited liability company, and shareholders of a tax-option corporation may not claim the credits.

Read the full summary

Under this bill, a taxpayer may claim an income and franchise tax credit equal to 15 percent of the taxpayer's qualified research expenses paid in the taxable year that are directly or indirectly related to designing internal combustion engines for vehicles and an amount equal to 15 percent of the amount paid in the taxable year to construct and equip new facilities or expand existing facilities used in this state for qualified research directly or indirectly related to designing internal combustion engines for vehicles. Under the bill, partnerships, limited liability companies, and tax-option corporations may not claim the credit, but may compute the credit based on amounts paid by the entity and pass the credit on to the partners, members, or shareholders who may claim the credit.

Because this bill relates to an exemption from state or local taxes, it may be referred to the Joint Survey Committee on Tax Exemptions for a report to be printed as an appendix to the bill.
