  7    Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:

  8        SECTION 1.  That Section 63-3029I, Idaho Code, be, and the same is  hereby
  9    repealed.

 10        SECTION  2.  That Section 63-3029B, Idaho Code, be, and the same is hereby
 11    amended to read as follows:

 12        63-3029B.  INCOME TAX CREDIT FOR CAPITAL INVESTMENT. (1) At  the  election
 13    of  the taxpayer there shall be allowed, subject to the applicable limitations
 14    provided herein as a credit against the income  tax  imposed  by  chapter  30,
 15    title 63, Idaho Code, an amount equal to the sum of:
 16        (a)  The tax credit carryovers; and
 17        (b)  The tax credit for the taxable year.
 18        (2)  The  maximum  allowable  amount of the credit for the current taxable
 19    year shall be three percent (3%) of the amount of qualified  investments  made
 20    during the taxable year.
 21        (3)  As used in this section "qualified investment" means certain property
 22    which:
 23        (a)  (i)   Is  eligible  for the federal investment tax credit, as defined
 24             in sections 46(c) and 48 of the Internal Revenue Code subject to  the
 25             limitations provided for certain regulated companies in section 46(f)
 26             of  the  Internal Revenue Code and is not a motor vehicle under eight
 27             thousand (8,000) pounds gross weight; or
 28             (ii)  Is  qualified  broadband  equipment  as  defined   in   section
 29             63-3029I, Idaho Code; and
 30        (b)  Is  acquired, constructed, reconstructed, erected or placed into ser-
 31        vice after December 31, 1981; and
 32        (c)  Has a situs in Idaho.
 33        (4)  (a) For qualified investments placed in service in 2003 and  thereaf-
 34        ter,  a  taxpayer,  other  than  a  person whose rate of charge or rate of
 35        return, or both, is regulated or limited according  to  federal  or  state
 36        law,  may elect, in lieu of the credit provided by this section, a two (2)
 37        year exemption from all  taxes  on  personal  property  on  the  qualified
 38        investment.  The  exemption  from personal property tax shall apply to the
 39        year the election is filed as provided in this section and the immediately
 40        following year. The election provided by this paragraph is available  only
 41        to  a taxpayer whose Idaho taxable income, before application of net oper-
 42        ating losses carried back or forward, in the second preceding taxable year

                                       2

  1        in which the investment is placed in service is negative.
  2        (b)  The election shall be made in the form prescribed by  the  state  tax
  3        commission  and  shall  include a specific description and location of all
  4        qualified investments placed into service and located in the  jurisdiction
  5        of the assessing authority, a designation of the specific assets for which
  6        the exemption is claimed, and such other information as the state tax com-
  7        mission  may  require. The election must be made by including the election
  8        form with the listing of personal property  required  by  section  63-302,
  9        Idaho  Code,  or, in the case of operating property assessed under chapter
 10        4, title 63, Idaho Code, with the operator's statement required by section
 11        63-404, Idaho Code. Once made the  election is irrevocable. If no election
 12        is made, the election is not otherwise available. A copy of  the  election
 13        form  must  also be attached to the original income tax return due for the
 14        taxable year in which the claim was made.
 15        (c)  The state tax commission and the various county assessors are author-
 16        ized to exchange information  as  necessary  to  properly  coordinate  the
 17        exemption  provided  in  this  subsection. Information disclosed to county
 18        officials under this subsection may be used only to determine the validity
 19        or amount of a taxpayer's entitlement to the exemption  provided  in  this
 20        section,  and is not otherwise subject to public disclosure as provided in
 21        section 9-340D, Idaho Code.
 22        (d)  In the event that an investment in regard to which the election under
 23        this subsection was made is determined by the state tax commission:
 24             (i)   To not be a qualified investment, or
 25             (ii)  To have ceased to qualify during the recapture period, or
 26             (iii) To be otherwise not qualified for the election,
 27        the taxpayer shall be subject to recapture of the property tax benefit.
 28        (e)  The benefit to be recaptured in subsection  (4)(d)  of  this  section
 29        shall be computed in the manner required in subsection (7) of this section
 30        and  such recapture amount shall be subject to assessment in the same man-
 31        ner as a deficiency in tax under this chapter. For purposes of calculating
 32        the recapture, the property tax benefit shall be:
 33             (i)   In the case of locally assessed property located  in  a  single
 34             county  or  nonapportioned  centrally  assessed  property, the market
 35             value of exempted property times the average property  tax  levy  for
 36             that county in the year or years for which the exemption was claimed.
 37             (ii)  In  the  case of other centrally assessed property and property
 38             located in more than one (1) county, the  market  value  of  exempted
 39             property  times  the  average urban property tax levy of the state as
 40             determined by the state tax commission in each of the years for which
 41             the exemption was claimed.
 42        (f)  In the event that a recapture of the exemption is required under this
 43        subsection (4), the person claiming the exemption shall report  the  event
 44        to  the state tax commission in the manner the state tax commission may by
 45        rule require. The report shall be due no later than the due date  of  that
 46        person's  income  tax  return  under  this chapter for the taxable year in
 47        which the event occurs. The recapture amount is due and payable  with  the
 48        report.  Any amount of recapture not paid is a deficiency within the mean-
 49        ing of section 63-3044, Idaho Code.
 50        (g)  All  moneys  collected  by  the state tax commission pursuant to this
 51        subsection, which amounts are continuously appropriated for this  purpose,
 52        shall be deposited with the state treasurer and placed in the state refund
 53        account, as provided by section 63-3067, Idaho Code, to be remitted to the
 54        county  within  which  the  property  was located that was not a qualified
 55        investment or  ceased to qualify during the recapture period.  The  county

                                       3

  1        shall distribute this remittance to all appropriate taxing districts based
  2        on  the proportion each appropriate taxing district's levy is to the total
  3        of all the levies of the taxing districts for the tax code area where  the
  4        property  was located for each year the exemption was granted. If any tax-
  5        ing district is dissolved or disincorporated, the proportionate  share  of
  6        the  remittance  to be distributed to that taxing district shall be depos-
  7        ited in the county current expense fund.
  8        (h)  For purposes of the limitation  provided  by  section  63-802,  Idaho
  9        Code,  moneys  received  pursuant  to  this subsection shall be treated as
 10        property tax revenue by taxing districts.
 11        (5)  Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (1)  and  (2)  of  this
 12    section, the amount of the credit allowed shall not exceed fifty percent (50%)
 13    of  the tax liability of the taxpayer. The tax liability of the taxpayer shall
 14    be the tax after deducting the credit allowed by section 63-3029, Idaho Code.
 15        (6)  If the sum of credit carryovers from the credit allowed by subsection
 16    (2) of this section and the amount of credit for the  taxable  year  from  the
 17    credit allowed by subsection (2) of this section exceed the limitation imposed
 18    by  subsection  (5)  of  this section for the current taxable year, the excess
 19    attributable to the current taxable  year's  credit  shall  be  an  investment
 20    credit carryover to the fourteen (14) succeeding taxable years. In the case of
 21    a  group of corporations filing a combined report under section 63-3027, Idaho
 22    Code, or sections 63-3027B through 63-3027E, Idaho Code, credit earned by  one
 23    (1)  member  of  the  group but not used by that member may be used by another
 24    member of the group, subject to the provisions of subsection (5) of this  sec-
 25    tion,  instead  of  carried  over. The entire amount of unused credit shall be
 26    carried forward to the earliest of the succeeding years,  wherein  the  oldest
 27    available  unused credit shall be used first, so long as the qualified invest-
 28    ment property for which the unused credit was granted  still  maintains  Idaho
 29    situs.  For  a  combined  group of corporations, credit carried forward may be
 30    claimed by any member of the group unless the member who earned the credit  is
 31    no longer included in the combined group.
 32        (7)  Any recapture of the credit allowed by subsection (2) of this section
 33    on  property  disposed  of  or  ceasing  to qualify, prior to the close of the
 34    recapture period, shall be determined according to  the  applicable  recapture
 35    provisions  of  the  Internal  Revenue Code. In the case of a unitary group of
 36    corporations, the increase in tax due  to  the  recapture  of  investment  tax
 37    credit  must  be  reported  by  the  member of the group who earned the credit
 38    regardless of which member claimed the credit against tax.
 39        (8)  For the purpose of determining whether property placed in service  is
 40    a  "qualified  investment"  as  defined in subsection (3) of this section, the
 41    provisions of section 49 of the Internal Revenue Code  shall  be  disregarded.
 42    "Qualified  investment"  shall not include any amount for which a deduction is
 43    allowed under section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code  in  computing  taxable
 44    income.
 45        (9)  For  purposes of this section, property has a situs in Idaho during a
 46    taxable year if it is used in Idaho at any time during the taxable year. Prop-
 47    erty not used in Idaho during a taxable year does not have a situs in Idaho in
 48    the taxable year during which the property is not used in Idaho or in any sub-
 49    sequent taxable year. No credit or carryover of credit is permitted under this
 50    section if the credit or carryover relates to property that does  not  have  a
 51    situs  in  Idaho  during the taxable year for which the credit or carryover is
 52    claimed. The Idaho situs of property must be established by records maintained
 53    by the taxpayer which are created reasonably contemporaneously with the use of
 54    the property.
 55        (10) In the case of property used both in and outside Idaho, the taxpayer,

                                       4

  1    electing to claim the credit provided in this section, must elect  to  compute
  2    the  qualified  investment  in  property  with  a  situs in Idaho for all such
  3    investments first qualifying during that year in one (1), but only one (1), of
  4    the following ways:
  5        (a)  The amount of each qualified investment in a specific asset shall be
  6        separately computed based on the percentage of the actual use of the prop-
  7        erty in Idaho by using a measure of the use, such as total miles or  total
  8        machine hours, that most accurately reflects the beneficial use during the
  9        taxable  year  in  which it is first acquired, constructed, reconstructed,
 10        erected or placed into service; provided, that the asset is placed in ser-
 11        vice more than ninety (90) days before the end of the taxable year. In the
 12        case of assets acquired, constructed,  reconstructed,  erected  or  placed
 13        into  service within ninety (90) days prior to the end of the taxable year
 14        in which the investment first qualifies, the measure of the  use  of  that
 15        asset within Idaho for that year shall be based upon the percentage of use
 16        in Idaho during the first ninety (90) days of use of the asset;
 17        (b)  The  investment  in  qualified  property used both inside and outside
 18        Idaho during the taxable year in which it is first acquired,  constructed,
 19        reconstructed,  erected  or placed into service shall be multiplied by the
 20        percent of the investment that would be included in the numerator  of  the
 21        Idaho  property factor determined pursuant to section 63-3027, Idaho Code,
 22        for the same year.
 23        (11) Only for the purposes of subsections (3)(a) and (8) of this  section,
 24    references  to  sections  of  the  "Internal  Revenue  Code" mean the sections
 25    referred to as they existed in the Internal Revenue  Code  of  1986  prior  to
 26    November 5, 1990.

 27        SECTION  3.  This act shall be in full force and effect on and after Janu-
 28    ary 1, 2009.

 38        law,  may elect, in lieu of the credit provided by this section, a two (2)
 39        year exemption from all  taxes  on  personal  property  on  the  qualified
 40        investment.  The  exemption  from personal property tax shall apply to the
 41        year the election is filed as provided in this section and the immediately
 42        following year. The election provided by this paragraph is available  only

                                       2

  1        to  a taxpayer whose Idaho taxable income, before application of net oper-
  2        ating losses carried back or forward, in the second preceding taxable year
  3        in which the investment is placed in service is negative.
  4        (b)  The election shall be made in the form prescribed by  the  state  tax
  5        commission  and  shall  include a specific description and location of all
  6        qualified investments placed into service and located in the  jurisdiction
  7        of the assessing authority, a designation of the specific assets for which
  8        the exemption is claimed, and such other information as the state tax com-
  9        mission  may  require. The election must be made by including the election
 10        form with the listing of personal property  required  by  section  63-302,
 11        Idaho  Code,  or, in the case of operating property assessed under chapter
 12        4, title 63, Idaho Code, with the operator's statement required by section
 13        63-404, Idaho Code. Once made the  election is irrevocable. If no election
 14        is made, the election is not otherwise available. A copy of  the  election
 15        form  must  also be attached to the original income tax return due for the
 16        taxable year in which the claim was made.
 17        (c)  The state tax commission and the various county assessors are author-
 18        ized to exchange information  as  necessary  to  properly  coordinate  the
 19        exemption  provided  in  this  subsection. Information disclosed to county
 20        officials under this subsection may be used only to determine the validity
 21        or amount of a taxpayer's entitlement to the exemption  provided  in  this
 22        section,  and is not otherwise subject to public disclosure as provided in
 23        section 9-340D, Idaho Code.
 24        (d)  In the event that an investment in regard to which the election under
 25        this subsection was made is determined by the state tax commission:
 26             (i)   To not be a qualified investment, or
 27             (ii)  To have ceased to qualify during the recapture period, or
 28             (iii) To be otherwise not qualified for the election,
 29        the taxpayer shall be subject to recapture of the property tax benefit.
 30        (e)  The benefit to be recaptured in subsection  (4)(d)  of  this  section
 31        shall be computed in the manner required in subsection (7) of this section
 32        and  such recapture amount shall be subject to assessment in the same man-
 33        ner as a deficiency in tax under this chapter. For purposes of calculating
 34        the recapture, the property tax benefit shall be:
 35             (i)   In the case of locally assessed property located  in  a  single
 36             county  or  nonapportioned  centrally  assessed  property, the market
 37             value of exempted property times the average property  tax  levy  for
 38             that county in the year or years for which the exemption was claimed.
 39             (ii)  In  the  case of other centrally assessed property and property
 40             located in more than one (1) county, the  market  value  of  exempted
 41             property  times  the  average urban property tax levy of the state as
 42             determined by the state tax commission in each of the years for which
 43             the exemption was claimed.
 44        (f)  In the event that a recapture of the exemption is required under this
 45        subsection (4), the person claiming the exemption shall report  the  event
 46        to  the state tax commission in the manner the state tax commission may by
 47        rule require. The report shall be due no later than the due date  of  that
 48        person's  income  tax  return  under  this chapter for the taxable year in
 49        which the event occurs. The recapture amount is due and payable  with  the
 50        report.  Any amount of recapture not paid is a deficiency within the mean-
 51        ing of section 63-3044, Idaho Code.
 52        (g)  All  moneys  collected  by  the state tax commission pursuant to this
 53        subsection, which amounts are continuously appropriated for this  purpose,
 54        shall be deposited with the state treasurer and placed in the state refund
 55        account, as provided by section 63-3067, Idaho Code, to be remitted to the

                                       3

  1        county  within  which  the  property  was located that was not a qualified
  2        investment or  ceased to qualify during the recapture period.  The  county
  3        shall distribute this remittance to all appropriate taxing districts based
  4        on  the proportion each appropriate taxing district's levy is to the total
  5        of all the levies of the taxing districts for the tax code area where  the
  6        property  was located for each year the exemption was granted. If any tax-
  7        ing district is dissolved or disincorporated, the proportionate  share  of
  8        the  remittance  to be distributed to that taxing district shall be depos-
  9        ited in the county current expense fund.
 10        (h)  For purposes of the limitation  provided  by  section  63-802,  Idaho
 11        Code,  moneys  received  pursuant  to  this subsection shall be treated as
 12        property tax revenue by taxing districts.
 13        (5)  Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (1)  and  (2)  of  this
 14    section, the amount of the credit allowed shall not exceed fifty percent (50%)
 15    of  the tax liability of the taxpayer. The tax liability of the taxpayer shall
 16    be the tax after deducting the credit allowed by section 63-3029, Idaho Code.
 17        (6)  If the sum of credit carryovers from the credit allowed by subsection
 18    (2) of this section and the amount of credit for the  taxable  year  from  the
 19    credit allowed by subsection (2) of this section exceed the limitation imposed
 20    by  subsection  (5)  of  this section for the current taxable year, the excess
 21    attributable to the current taxable  year's  credit  shall  be  an  investment
 22    credit carryover to the fourteen (14) succeeding taxable years. In the case of
 23    a  group of corporations filing a combined report under section 63-3027, Idaho
 24    Code, or sections 63-3027B through 63-3027E, Idaho Code, credit earned by  one
 25    (1)  member  of  the  group but not used by that member may be used by another
 26    member of the group, subject to the provisions of subsection (5) of this  sec-
 27    tion,  instead  of  carried  over. The entire amount of unused credit shall be
 28    carried forward to the earliest of the succeeding years,  wherein  the  oldest
 29    available  unused credit shall be used first, so long as the qualified invest-
 30    ment property for which the unused credit was granted  still  maintains  Idaho
 31    situs.  For  a  combined  group of corporations, credit carried forward may be
 32    claimed by any member of the group unless the member who earned the credit  is
 33    no longer included in the combined group.
 34        (7)  Any recapture of the credit allowed by subsection (2) of this section
 35    on  property  disposed  of  or  ceasing  to qualify, prior to the close of the
 36    recapture period, shall be determined according to  the  applicable  recapture
 37    provisions  of  the  Internal  Revenue Code. In the case of a unitary group of
 38    corporations, the increase in tax due  to  the  recapture  of  investment  tax
 39    credit  must  be  reported  by  the  member of the group who earned the credit
 40    regardless of which member claimed the credit against tax.
 41        (8)  For the purpose of determining whether property placed in service  is
 42    a  "qualified  investment"  as  defined in subsection (3) of this section, the
 43    provisions of section 49 of the Internal Revenue Code  shall  be  disregarded.
 44    "Qualified  investment"  shall not include any amount for which a deduction is
 45    allowed under section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code  in  computing  taxable
 46    income.
 47        (9)  For  purposes of this section, property has a situs in Idaho during a
 48    taxable year if it is used in Idaho at any time during the taxable year. Prop-
 49    erty not used in Idaho during a taxable year does not have a situs in Idaho in
 50    the taxable year during which the property is not used in Idaho or in any sub-
 51    sequent taxable year. No credit or carryover of credit is permitted under this
 52    section if the credit or carryover relates to property that does  not  have  a
 53    situs  in  Idaho  during the taxable year for which the credit or carryover is
 54    claimed. The Idaho situs of property must be established by records maintained
 55    by the taxpayer which are created reasonably contemporaneously with the use of

                                       4

  1    the property.
  2        (10) In the case of property used both in and outside Idaho, the taxpayer,
  3    electing to claim the credit provided in this section, must elect  to  compute
  4    the  qualified  investment  in  property  with  a  situs in Idaho for all such
  5    investments first qualifying during that year in one (1), but only one (1), of
  6    the following ways:
  7        (a)  The amount of each qualified investment in a specific asset shall be
  8        separately computed based on the percentage of the actual use of the prop-
  9        erty in Idaho by using a measure of the use, such as total miles or  total
 10        machine hours, that most accurately reflects the beneficial use during the
 11        taxable  year  in  which it is first acquired, constructed, reconstructed,
 12        erected or placed into service; provided, that the asset is placed in ser-
 13        vice more than ninety (90) days before the end of the taxable year. In the
 14        case of assets acquired, constructed,  reconstructed,  erected  or  placed
 15        into  service within ninety (90) days prior to the end of the taxable year
 16        in which the investment first qualifies, the measure of the  use  of  that
 17        asset within Idaho for that year shall be based upon the percentage of use
 18        in Idaho during the first ninety (90) days of use of the asset;
 19        (b)  The  investment  in  qualified  property used both inside and outside
 20        Idaho during the taxable year in which it is first acquired,  constructed,
 21        reconstructed,  erected  or placed into service shall be multiplied by the
 22        percent of the investment that would be included in the numerator  of  the
 23        Idaho  property factor determined pursuant to section 63-3027, Idaho Code,
 24        for the same year.
 25        (11) Only for the purposes of subsections (3)(a) and (8) of this  section,
 26    references  to  sections  of  the  "Internal  Revenue  Code" mean the sections
 27    referred to as they existed in the Internal Revenue  Code  of  1986  prior  to
 28    November 5, 1990.

 29        SECTION  3.  That  Chapter  30,  Title 63, Idaho Code, be, and the same is
 30    hereby amended by the addition thereto of a NEW SECTION, to be known and  des-
 31    ignated as Section 63-3029I, Idaho Code, and to read as follows:

 32        63-3029I.  CARRYOVER  OF  CREDIT  FOR INVESTMENT IN BROADBAND EQUIPMENT. A
 33    taxpayer entitled to the carryover of  credit  accruing  pursuant  to  section
 34    63-3029I,  Idaho  Code,  as  in effect on December 31, 2008, for taxable years
 35    beginning before January 1, 2009, shall be entitled to carryover the credit in
 36    the amounts and subject to the limitations provided in section 63-3029I, Idaho
 37    Code, as in effect on December 31, 2009.

 38        SECTION 4.  This act shall be in full force and effect on and after  Janu-
 39    ary 1, 2009.
