  9    Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:
                                                                        
 10        SECTION 1.  That Section 63-3022H, Idaho Code, be, and the same is  hereby
 11    amended to read as follows:
                                                                        
 12        63-3022H.  DEDUCTION  OF  CAPITAL  GAINS.  (1)  If  an individual taxpayer
 13    reports a net capital gain in determining taxable income, sixty percent  (60%)
 14    of  the net capital gain from the sale or exchange of qualified property shall
 15    be a deduction in determining taxable income.
 16        (2)  The deduction provided in this section is limited to  the  amount  of
 17    the  net capital gain net income from all property included in federal taxable
 18    income. Net capital  gGains  treated  as  ordinary  income  by  the  iInternal
 19    rRevenue  cCode  do not qualify for the deduction allowed in this section. The
 20    deduction otherwise allowable under this  section  shall  be  reduced  by  the
 21    amount  of  any federal capital gains deduction relating to such property, but
 22    not below zero.
 23        (3)  As used in this section  "qualified  property"  means  the  following

 28        (c)  Cattle or horses held for breeding, draft, dairy or sporting purposes
 29        for at least twenty-four (24) months if more than one-half  (1/2)  of  the
 30        taxpayer's  gross  income  (as  defined  in section 61(a) of the iInternal
 31        rRevenue cCode) for the taxable year is from farming  or  ranching  opera-
 32        tions in Idaho;
 33        (d)  Breeding  livestock  other than cattle or horses held at least twelve
 34        (12) months if more than one-half (1/2) of the taxpayer's gross income (as
 35        defined in section 61(a) of the iInternal rRevenue cCode) for the  taxable
 36        year is from farming or ranching operations in Idaho;
 37        (e)  Timber grown in Idaho and held at least twenty-four (24) months;
 38        (f)  In  determining the period for which property subject to this section
 39        has been held by a  taxpayer,  the  provisions  of  section  1223  of  the
 40        iInternal  rRevenue cCode shall apply, except that when the holding period
 41        includes any period during which the taxpayer held property other than the
 42        property sold, all property held during  shall  not  include  the  holding
 43        period  must  qualify of property given up in an exchange, when such prop-
                                                                        
                                           2
                                                                        
  1        erty would not have constituted  qualified  property  under  this  section
  2        without regard to meeting the holding period.
  3        (4)  If  an individual reports a capital gain from qualified property from
  4    an S corporation or a partnership, a deduction shall  be  allowed  under  this
  5    section  only  to the extent the individual held his interest in the income of
  6    the S corporation or the partnership for the time required by  subsection  (3)
  7    of this section for the property sold.
  8        (5)  If  an  individual reports a capital gain from an estate or a capital
  9    gain from property acquired as a beneficiary of an estate, no deduction  shall
 10    be allowed under this section unless the holding period required in subsection
 11    (3)  of this section was satisfied by the decedent, the estate, or the benefi-
 12    ciary, or a combination thereof.
 13        (6)  If an individual reports a capital gain from a  trust  or  a  capital
 14    gain from property acquired as a beneficiary of a trust, no deduction shall be
 15    allowed  under  this  section unless the holding period required in subsection
 16    (3) of this section was satisfied by the grantor, the trust,  or  the  benefi-
 17    ciary, or a combination thereof.
 18        (7)  As used in this section "revenue-producing enterprise" means:
 19        (a)  The  production, assembly, fabrication, manufacture, or processing of
 20        any agricultural, mineral or manufactured product;
 21        (b)  The storage, warehousing, distribution, or sale at wholesale  of  any
 22        products of agriculture, mining or manufacturing;
 23        (c)  The feeding of livestock at a feedlot;
 24        (d)  The  operation  of  laboratories  or other facilities for scientific,
 25        agricultural, animal husbandry, or industrial  research,  development,  or
 26        testing.
                                                                        
 27        SECTION  2.  An  emergency  existing  therefor,  which emergency is hereby
 28    declared to exist, this act shall be in full force and effect on and after its
 29    passage and approval, and retroactively to January 1, 2001.

                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                          R.S.  10468

This bill makes technical and clarifying amendments to the Idaho
Code section providing an Idaho income tax deduction for capital
gains.  These changes are: 

Replaces "net capital gain" (excess of long-term capital gain over
         short-term net capital loss) with technically correct "capital
         gain net income" (excess of gains from sales or exchanges of
         capital assets over losses from such sales or exchanges).  

Clarifies that holding period does not include holding period of
         non-qualified property exchanged for qualified property. 

Clarifies calculation of the holding period of property acquired by
         a beneficiary of an estate or trust.
