42 dard deductions shall be adjusted as provided in this section.
43 (2) As used in this section, "the marriage penalty" means the difference

6 SECTION 4. That Section 63-3029B, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby

11 title 63, Idaho Code, an amount equal to the sum of:
12 (a) tThe tax credit carry-overs carryovers; and
13 (b) tThe tax credit for the taxable year.
14 (2) The maximum allowable amount of the credit for the current taxable
15 year shall be three percent (3%) of the amount of qualified investments made
16 during the taxable year.
17 (3) As used in this section "qualified investment" means certain depre-
18 ciable property which:
19 (a) iIs eligible for the federal investment tax credit, as defined in
20 sections 46(c) and 48 of the iInternal rRevenue cCode subject to the lim-
21 itations provided for certain regulated companies in section 46(f) of the
22 iInternal rRevenue cCode and is not a motor vehicle under eight thousand
23 (8,000) pounds gross weight;
24 (b) iIs acquired, constructed, reconstructed, erected or placed into ser-
25 vice after December 31, 1981; and
26 (c) hHas a situs in Idaho.
27 (4) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (1) and (2) of this
28 section, the amount of the credit allowed shall not exceed forty-five fifty
29 percent (450%) of the tax liability of the taxpayer.
30 (5) If the sum of credit carry-overs carryovers from the credit allowed
31 by subsection (2) of this section and the amount of credit for the taxable
32 year from the credit allowed by subsection (2) of this section exceed the lim-
33 itation imposed by subsection (4) of this section for the current taxable
34 year, the excess attributable to the current taxable year's credit shall be an
35 investment credit carry-over carryover to the seven (7) succeeding taxable
36 years. In the case of a group of corporations filing a combined report under
37 section 63-3027, Idaho Code, or sections 63-3027B through 63-3027E, Idaho
38 Code, credit earned by one (1) member of the group but not used by that member
39 may be used by another member of the group, subject to the provisions of sub-
40 section (4) of this section, instead of carried over. The entire amount of
41 unused credit shall be carried forward to the earliest of the succeeding
42 years, wherein the oldest available unused credit shall be used first, so long
43 as the qualified investment property for which the unused credit was granted
44 still maintains Idaho situs. For a combined group of corporations, credit car-
45 ried forward may be claimed by any member of the group unless the member who
46 earned the credit is no longer included in the combined group.
47 (6) Any recapture of the credit allowed by subsection (2) of this section
48 on property disposed of or ceasing to qualify, prior to the close of its use-
49 ful life, shall be determined according to the applicable recapture provisions
50 of the iInternal rRevenue cCode. In the case of a unitary group of corpora-
51 tions, the increase in tax due to the recapture of investment tax credit must
52 be reported by the member of the group who earned the credit regardless of
53 which member claimed the credit against tax.
4
1 (7) For the purpose of determining whether property placed in service is
2 a "qualified investment" as defined in subsection (3) of this section, the
3 provisions of section 49 of the iInternal rRevenue cCode shall be disregarded.
4 (8) For purposes of this section, property has a situs in Idaho during a
5 taxable year if it is used in Idaho at any time during the taxable year. Prop-
6 erty not used in Idaho during a taxable year does not have a situs in Idaho in
7 the taxable year during which the property is not used in Idaho or in any sub-
8 sequent taxable year. No credit or carry-over carryover of credit is permitted
9 under this section if the credit or carry-over carryover relates to property
10 that does not have a situs in Idaho during the taxable year for which the
11 credit or carry-over carryover is claimed. The Idaho situs of property must be
12 established by records maintained by the taxpayer which are created reasonably
13 contemporaneously with the use of the property.
14 (9) In the case of property used both in and outside Idaho, the taxpayer,
15 electing to claim the credit provided in this section, must elect to compute
16 the qualified investment in property with a situs in Idaho for all such
17 investments first qualifying during that year in one (1), but only one (1), of
18 the following ways:
19 (a) tThe amount of each qualified investment in a specific asset shall be
20 separately computed based on the percentage of the actual use of the prop-
21 erty in Idaho by using a measure of the use, such as total miles or total
22 machine hours, that most accurately reflects the beneficial use during the
23 taxable year in which it is first acquired, constructed, reconstructed,
24 erected or placed into service; provided, that the asset is placed in ser-
25 vice more than ninety (90) days before the end of the taxable year. In the
26 case of assets acquired, constructed, reconstructed, erected or placed
27 into service within ninety (90) days prior to the end of the taxable year
28 in which the investment first qualifies, the measure of the use of that
29 asset within Idaho for that year shall be based upon the percentage of use
30 in Idaho during the first ninety (90) days of use of the asset;
31 (b) tThe investment in qualified property used both inside and outside
32 Idaho during the taxable year in which it is first acquired, constructed,
33 reconstructed, erected or placed into service shall be multiplied by the
34 percent of the investment that would be included in the numerator of the
35 Idaho property factor determined pursuant to section 63-3027, Idaho Code,
36 for the same year.
37 (10) Only for the purposes of subsections (3)(a) and (7) of this section,
38 references to sections of the "iInternal rRevenue cCode" mean the sections
39 referred to as they existed in the iInternal rRevenue cCode of 1986 prior to
40 November 5, 1990.
41 SECTION 6. An emergency existing therefor, which emergency is hereby
42 declared to exist, this act shall be in full force and effect on and after its
43 passage and approval and retroactively to January 1, 2000.
