What it does

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

This bill includes crop insurance proceeds in a person's production gross receipts for purposes of the manufacturing and agricultural tax credit.

Currently, a person may claim a tax credit on the basis of the person's income from manufacturing or agriculture. The starting point for calculating the credit is determining the person's production gross receipts, which are the gross receipts from the lease, rental, license, sale, exchange, or other disposition of tangible personal property that is either manufactured by the claimant on property assessed as manufacturing property or produced, grown, or extracted by the claimant on or from property assessed as agricultural property. Under the bill, insurance proceeds that are received by a person due to the destruction of, or damage to, crops are included in the person's production gross receipts and, therefore, included in the calculation of the credit's value.
