The introductory language to G.S. 105 -113.40A reads as rewritten: <br />"The Secretary must credit the net proceeds of the tax collected under this z~iele-Part as follows:". <br />SECTION 2. G.S. 105 -129.16D(b 1) reads as rewritten: <br />"(bl) Alternative. Production Credit. - In lieu of the credit allowed under subsection (b) of this <br />section, a taxpayer that constructs and places in service in this State three or more commercial facilities <br />for processing renewable fuel and that invests a total amount of at least four hundred million dollars <br />($400,000,000) in the facilities is allowed a credit equal to thirty-five percent (35%) of the cost to the <br />taxpayer of constructing and equipping the facilities. In order to claim the credit, the taxpayer must <br />obtain a written determination from the Secretary of Commerce that the taxpayer is expected to invest <br />within afive-year period a total amount of at least four hundred million dollars ($400,000,000) in three <br />or more facilities. The credit must be taken in seven equal annual installments beginning with the <br />taxable year in which the first facility is placed in service. If, in one of the years in which the installment <br />of credit accrues, a facility with respect to which the credit was claimed is disposed of or taken out of <br />service and the investment requirements of this subsection are no longer satisfied, the credit expires and <br />the taxpayer may take any remaining installment of the credit only to the extent allowed under <br />subsection (b) of this section. The taxpayer may, however, take the portion of an installment under this <br />subsection that accrued in a previous year and was carried forward to the extent permitted under <br />G.S. 105-129.17. Notwithstanding the provisions of G.S. 105-129.17, a taxpayer may carry forward <br />unused portions of the credit allowed under this subsection for the succeeding 10 years. <br />If a taxpayer that claimed a credit under this subsection fails to meet the requirements of this <br />subsection but meets the requirements of subsection (b) of this section, the taxpayer forfeits the <br />difference between the alternative credit claimed under this subsection and the credit allowed under <br />subsection (b) of this section. A taxpayer tkat forfeits part of the alternative credit under this subsection <br />is liable for the additional taxes avoided plus interest at the rate established under 6~-~$~j; <br />G.S. 105-241.21, computed from the date the additional taxes would have been due if the credit had not <br />been allowed. The additional taxes and interest are due 30 days after the date the credit is forfeited. A <br />taxpayer that fails to pay the additional taxes and interest by the due date is subject to penalties provided <br />in G.S. 105-236." <br />SECTION 3. G.S. 105-159.1(x) reads as rewritten: <br />"(a) Every individual whose income tax liability for the taxable year is three dollars ($3.00) or <br />more may designate on his or her income tax return that three dollars ($3.00) of the tax shall be credited <br />to the North Carolina Political Parties Financing Fund for the use of the political parry designated by the <br />taxpayer. In the case of a married couple filing a joint return whose income tax liability for the taxable <br />year is six dollars ($6.00) or more, each spouse may designate on the income tax return that three <br />dollars ($3.00) of the tax shall be credited to the North Carolina Political Parties Financing Fund for the <br />use of the political party designated by the taxpayer. Amounts credited to the Fund shall be allocated <br />among the political parties according to the designation of the taxpayer. Where any taxpayer elects to <br />designate but does not specify a particular political party, those funds shall be distributed among the <br />political parties on a pro rata basis according to their respective party voter registrations as determined <br />by the most recent certification of the State Board of Elections. As used in this section, the term <br />"political party" has the same meaning as defined in G.S. 163-96. <br />http://www.ncga.state.nc.us/Sessions/2009/Bills/Senate/HTML/S 1177v6.htm1 7/28/2010 <br />
