 45        For taxable year 2000 and each year thereafter, the state  tax  commission
 46    shall  prescribe  a factor which shall be used to compute the Idaho income tax
 47    brackets provided in subsections (a)(i) and (a)(ii) of this section. The  fac-
 48    tor  shall  provide  an adjustment to the Idaho tax brackets so that inflation
 49    will not result in a tax increase. The Idaho tax brackets shall be adjusted as
 50    follows: multiply the bracket amounts by the percentage  (the  consumer  price
 51    index  for  the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year to which
 52    the adjusted brackets will apply divided by the consumer price index for  cal-
 53    endar  year  1998).  For  the  purpose of this computation, the consumer price
 54    index for any calendar year is the average of the consumer price index  as  of
 55    the close of the twelve (12) month period for the immediately preceding calen-
                                                                        
                                           3
                                                                        
  1    dar year as adopted by the state tax commission. This adoption shall be exempt
  2    from  the  provisions  of chapter 52, title 67, Idaho Code. The consumer price
  3    index shall mean the consumer price index for all U.S.  urban  consumers  pub-
  4    lished  by  the  United  States  department of labor. The state tax commission
  5    shall annually include the factor as provided in this subsection  to  multiply
  6    against  Idaho  taxable  income in the brackets above to arrive at that year's
  7    taxable income for tax bracket purposes.
  8        (b)  In case a joint return is filed by husband and wife pursuant  to  the
  9    provisions  of  section  63-3031,  Idaho Code, the tax imposed by this section
 10    shall be twice the tax which would be imposed on one-half (1/2) of the  aggre-
 11    gate  Idaho  taxable  income.  For the purposes of this section, a return of a
 12    surviving spouse, as defined in section 2(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, and
 13    a head of household, as defined in section 2(b) of the Internal Revenue  Code,
 14    shall  be treated as a joint return and the tax imposed shall be twice the tax
 15    which would be imposed on one-half (1/2) of the Idaho taxable income.
 16        (c)  The state tax commission shall compute and publish Idaho  income  tax
 17    liability  for  taxpayers  at  the  midpoint  of each bracket of Idaho taxable
 18    income in fifty dollar ($50.00) steps to  fifty  thousand  dollars  ($50,000),
 19    rounding  such  calculations  to  the  nearest dollar. Taxpayers having income
 20    within such brackets shall file returns based upon and pay taxes according  to
 21    the schedule thus established. The state tax commission shall promulgate rules
 22    defining the conditions upon which such returns shall be filed.
                                                                        
 23        SECTION  3.  That Section 63-3022N, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
 24    repealed.
                                                                        
 25        SECTION 4.  That Chapter 30, Title 63, Idaho Code, be,  and  the  same  is
 26    hereby  amended by the addition thereto of a NEW SECTION, to be known and des-
 27    ignated as Section 63-3022N, Idaho Code, and to read as follows:
                                                                        
 28        63-3022N.  MARRIAGE PENALTY ADJUSTMENT. (1) To eliminate from the calcula-
 29    tion of Idaho taxable income any marriage penalty that may exist in the  basic
 30    standard deductions provided in the Internal Revenue Code, basic federal stan-
 31    dard deductions shall be adjusted as provided in this section.
 32        (2)  As  used in this section, "the marriage penalty" means the difference
 33    obtained by subtracting:
 34        (a)  The basic standard deduction for joint returns, from
 35        (b)  Two (2) times the basic standard deduction for an individual  who  is
 36        not married and who is not a surviving spouse or head of household.
 37        (3)  For  each  taxable   year beginning on and after January 1, 2000, the
 38    standard deduction in section 63-3022(k)(1), Idaho Code, shall be: on a  joint
 39    return,  the basic federal joint standard deduction plus the marriage penalty,
 40    rounded to the nearest dollar, plus the  amount  of  any  additional  standard
 41    deduction for the aged or blind for which a taxpayer may qualify under section
 42    63 of the Internal Revenue Code.
 43        (4)  The  basic  federal  standard  deduction for an individual for whom a
 44    deduction under section 151 of the  Internal  Revenue  Code  is  allowable  to
 45    another  taxpayer  shall not be reduced below the minimum adjusted basic stan-
 46    dard deduction provided by section 63 of the Internal Revenue Code.
                                                                        
 47        SECTION 5.  That Section 63-3029B, Idaho Code, be, and the same is  hereby
 48    amended to read as follows:
                                                                        
 49        63-3029B.  INCOME  TAX  CREDIT FOR CAPITAL INVESTMENT. (1) At the election
 50    of the taxpayer there shall be allowed, subject to the applicable  limitations

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

  6    tor  shall  provide  an adjustment to the Idaho tax brackets so that inflation
  7    will not result in a tax increase. The Idaho tax brackets shall be adjusted as
  8    follows: multiply the bracket amounts by the percentage  (the  consumer  price
  9    index  for  the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year to which
 10    the adjusted brackets will apply divided by the consumer price index for  cal-
 11    endar  year  1998).  For  the  purpose of this computation, the consumer price
 12    index for any calendar year is the average of the consumer price index  as  of
 13    the close of the twelve (12) month period for the immediately preceding calen-
 14    dar year as adopted by the state tax commission. This adoption shall be exempt
 15    from  the  provisions  of chapter 52, title 67, Idaho Code. The consumer price
 16    index shall mean the consumer price index for all U.S.  urban  consumers  pub-
 17    lished  by  the  United  States  department of labor. The state tax commission
 18    shall annually include the factor as provided in this subsection  to  multiply
 19    against  Idaho  taxable  income in the brackets above to arrive at that year's
 20    taxable income for tax bracket purposes.".

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                       RS10343 
     
          The purpose of this legislation is to provide that a self- employed person
     may deduct medical insurance premiums from their state income tax which may
     not otherwise be deductible for federal income tax purposes. Further, this
     legislation decreases the individual income tax rates by one-tenth of one
     percent(.1%). 
          It further provides for elimination from the calculation of Idaho taxable
     income any marriage penalty. This legislation also increases the investment tax
     credit maximum amount from 45 to 50 and includes the Individual Income Tax
     CPI Bracket Adjustment for the tax year 2000. 
     
     
     
                    FISCAL IMPACT 
     
     The fiscal impact is projected as follows: 
     
     Health Insurance Deduction for Self-Employed        $ 1,600,000.00
     "Marriage Tax Penalty" fully funded                          10,600,000.00
     Individual Income Tax Rate Reduction of .1%           12,500,000.00
     Individual Income Tax CPI Bracket Adj (tax year 2000) 2,150,000.00
