13 | (a-5) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, | ||||||
14 | 2025 and beginning before January 1, 2030, an Authority may | ||||||
15 | award a credit to the owner of a qualified development | ||||||
16 | simultaneous with the federal tax credit in an amount | ||||||
17 | determined by an Authority, subject to the following | ||||||
18 | guidelines: | ||||||
19 | (1) an Authority must find that the credit is | ||||||
20 | necessary for the financial feasibility of the qualified | ||||||
21 | development; | ||||||
22 | (2) the aggregate amount of credits awarded to | ||||||
23 | qualified developments for each calendar year shall not | ||||||
24 | exceed $20,000,000, plus the amount of unallocated | ||||||
25 | credits, if any, from the preceding calendar year, plus |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the amount of any credit recaptured or otherwise returned | ||||||

3 | (3) of the $20,000,000 annual allocation: | ||||||
4 | (A) 75.5% of the available credits for each | ||||||

6 | Development Authority, plus any credits the Illinois | ||||||
7 | Housing Development Authority did not award from prior | ||||||
8 | calendar years, plus the amount of any credits | ||||||
9 | recaptured or otherwise returned to the Illinois | ||||||
10 | Housing Development Authority from prior calendar | ||||||
11 | years; and | ||||||
12 | (B) 24.5% of the available credits in each | ||||||
13 | calendar year shall be awarded by the City of Chicago | ||||||
14 | Department of Housing, plus any credits the City of | ||||||
15 | Chicago Department of Housing did not award from prior | ||||||
16 | calendar years, plus the amount of any credits | ||||||
17 | recaptured or otherwise returned to the City of | ||||||
18 | Chicago Department of Housing since the prior calendar | ||||||
19 | year; and | ||||||
20 | (4) unless otherwise provided in this Act, or unless | ||||||
21 | the context clearly requires otherwise, an Authority must | ||||||
22 | determine eligibility for credits and award credits in | ||||||
23 | accordance with the standards and requirements set forth | ||||||
24 | in Section 42 of the federal Internal Revenue Code of 1986 | ||||||
25 | and, to the extent possible, use the same forms that are | ||||||
26 | used in administering the credit under Section 42 of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | federal Internal Revenue Code of 1986. | ||||||
2 | (b) For tax years during the credit period, any qualified | ||||||
3 | taxpayer is allowed a credit, as provided in this Act, against | ||||||
4 | either of the following: (i) the taxes imposed by subsections | ||||||
5 | (a) and (b) of Section 201 of the Illinois Income Tax Act; or | ||||||
6 | (ii) any privilege tax or retaliatory tax, penalty, fee, | ||||||
7 | charge, or payment imposed under the Illinois Insurance Code | ||||||

9 | (b-5) The amount of credit awarded pursuant to a | ||||||
10 | reservation letter shall be claimable in each year of the | ||||||
11 | credit period. | ||||||
12 | (c) A qualified taxpayer may claim a credit under this Act | ||||||
13 | so long as the taxpayer's direct or indirect interest in the | ||||||
14 | qualified development is acquired prior to the filing of its | ||||||
15 | tax return claiming the credit. On or before March 31 | ||||||
16 | following each year of the credit period, the owner must | ||||||
17 | submit to the Department, the Department of Insurance, and the | ||||||
18 | applicable Authority an allocation schedule certification, in | ||||||
19 | an electronic format prescribed by the Department, the | ||||||
20 | Department of Insurance, and the Authority, respectively, | ||||||
21 | detailing the amount of the credit allocated to the qualified | ||||||
22 | taxpayer for the applicable year and stating whether the | ||||||
23 | qualified taxpayer has elected to claim the credit against the | ||||||
24 | taxpayer's State income tax or insurance privilege tax or | ||||||
25 | retaliatory tax liability. The taxpayer may assign to a | ||||||
26 | designee the duty of preparing and submitting the allocation |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | schedule certification. In that case, the designee must | ||||||
2 | provide the allocation schedule certification to the | ||||||
3 | Department, the Department of Insurance, and the applicable | ||||||
4 | Authority on or before the deadline for submission. The | ||||||
5 | qualified taxpayer must notify the Department, the Department | ||||||
6 | of Insurance, and the applicable Authority if it assigns that | ||||||
7 | duty to its designee. | ||||||
8 | The allocation schedule certification submitted under this | ||||||
9 | Section may be amended if the State credit eligibility | ||||||
10 | statement for a project is received after the deadline for | ||||||
11 | filing the allocation schedule certification or if all credits | ||||||
12 | have not been awarded by the deadline for filing the | ||||||
13 | allocation schedule certification. Any amendment to an | ||||||
14 | allocation schedule certification shall be filed before the | ||||||
15 | taxpayer attempts to claim tax credits associated with the | ||||||
16 | applicable State credit eligibility statement. Each qualified | ||||||
17 | taxpayer is allowed to claim its awarded amount of credit | ||||||
18 | subject to any restrictions set forth in this Section. If the | ||||||
19 | credit is to be taken against the income tax and the qualified | ||||||
20 | taxpayer is a pass-through entity, then the provisions of | ||||||
21 | Section 251 of the Illinois Income Tax Act apply. | ||||||
22 | (d) No credit may be awarded under this Act unless the | ||||||
23 | qualified development is the subject of a recorded restrictive | ||||||
24 | covenant requiring the development to be maintained and | ||||||
25 | operated as a qualified development; this requirement for a | ||||||
26 | recorded restrictive covenant may be satisfied by the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | agreement for an extended low-income housing commitment | ||||||
2 | required for the federal tax credits as defined in Section | ||||||
3 | 42(h)(6)(B) of the federal Internal Revenue Code of 1986. | ||||||
4 | (e) If, during a taxable year, there is a determination | ||||||
5 | that no recorded restrictive covenant meeting the requirements | ||||||
6 | of subsection (d) was in effect as of the beginning of that | ||||||
7 | year, the determination shall not apply to any period before | ||||||
8 | that year and subsection (e) shall be applied without regard | ||||||
9 | to that determination if the failure is corrected within one | ||||||
10 | year after the date of the determination. | ||||||
11 | (e-5) For tax years ending during the credit period, any | ||||||
12 | qualified taxpayer is allowed a credit as provided in this Act | ||||||
13 | against the taxes imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of | ||||||
14 | Section 201 of the Illinois Income Tax Act, unless the | ||||||
15 | qualified taxpayer elects to claim the credit against any | ||||||
16 | privilege tax or retaliatory tax, penalty, fee, charge, or | ||||||
17 | payment imposed under the Illinois Insurance Code. Those | ||||||
18 | elections shall be submitted by the owner of the qualified | ||||||
19 | development in the annual allocation schedule certification as | ||||||
20 | provided in subsection (c) of this Section. | ||||||
21 | (f) The tax credit under this Act may not reduce the | ||||||
22 | taxpayer's liability to less than zero. If the amount of the | ||||||
23 | tax credit exceeds the tax liability for the year, the excess | ||||||
24 | may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of the | ||||||
25 | 5 taxable years following the excess credit year. The credit | ||||||
26 | must be applied to the earliest year for which there is a tax |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | liability. If there are credits from more than one tax year | ||||||
2 | that are available to offset a liability, then the earlier | ||||||
3 | credit must be applied first. Credits that are initially | ||||||
4 | claimed against taxes imposed by the Illinois Income Tax Act | ||||||
5 | may be carried forward only against the taxpayer's future | ||||||
6 | Illinois Income Tax liability. Credits that are initially | ||||||
7 | claimed against taxes, penalties, fees, charges, and payments | ||||||
8 | imposed by the Illinois Insurance Code may be carried forward | ||||||
9 | only against taxes, penalties, fees, charges, and payments | ||||||
10 | imposed by the Illinois Insurance Code. Credits that are not | ||||||
11 | claimed or carried forward may not be refunded to the | ||||||
12 | taxpayer. The qualified taxpayer is solely responsible for | ||||||
13 | correctly filing tax returns, and an Authority is not | ||||||
14 | responsible for monitoring the calculation of taxes under this | ||||||
15 | Section. | ||||||
16 | (g) By March 31, 2025 and by March 31 of each year | ||||||
17 | thereafter, each Authority shall provide to the Department and | ||||||
18 | the Department of Insurance an electronic file containing all | ||||||
19 | data related to all State credit eligibility statements issued | ||||||
20 | during the preceding year in the manner and form as provided by | ||||||
21 | each respective Department. | ||||||
22 | (h) Each Authority is entitled to a reservation fee of 1% | ||||||
23 | of the credit awarded under this Section for each year of the | ||||||
24 | award to support the cost of compliance monitoring. An | ||||||
25 | Authority may exercise the option to impose a compliance fee | ||||||
26 | or a penalty in the exercise of its compliance monitoring |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | function under this Act.
| ||||||
2 | Section 20. Recapture. If, under Section 42 of the | ||||||
3 | Internal Revenue Code, a portion of any federal tax credit | ||||||
4 | claimed with respect to a qualified development for which a | ||||||
5 | credit has been awarded under this Act is required by a final | ||||||
6 | determination by the Internal Revenue Service or a court of | ||||||
7 | law with competent jurisdiction to be recaptured during the | ||||||
8 | first 6 years after a project is placed in service, then, | ||||||
9 | within 60 days after becoming aware of the federal tax credit | ||||||
10 | recapture, the project owner shall provide the Department, the | ||||||
11 | Department of Insurance, and the applicable Authority with | ||||||
12 | notice of the federal tax credit recapture. Notice shall be | ||||||
13 | provided in the manner and form as provided by the Department, | ||||||
14 | the Department of Insurance, and the Authority, respectively. | ||||||
15 | If an Authority issues a federal Form 8823 to the owner of a | ||||||
16 | qualified development that has been awarded a credit under | ||||||
17 | this Act, and an Authority has not been notified within 6 | ||||||
18 | months of filing the Form 8823 that the noncompliance has been | ||||||
19 | remedied, an Authority shall submit the Form 8823 to the | ||||||
20 | Department or Department of Insurance, as applicable. The | ||||||
21 | amount of credit subject to recapture shall be proportionately | ||||||
22 | equal to the amount of the qualified development's federal tax | ||||||
23 | credits that are subject to recapture. If the project owner | ||||||
24 | (or one of the project owner's direct or indirect members) | ||||||
25 | fails to notify the Department or the Department of Insurance, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | as applicable, of any final determination of recapture of the | ||||||
2 | federal tax credit, then the entire amount of the State tax | ||||||
3 | credit awarded for the qualified development may be subject to | ||||||
4 | recapture. The qualified taxpayer subject to recapture shall | ||||||
5 | increase the qualified taxpayer's tax by the amount of any | ||||||
6 | credit subject to recapture in the tax year the qualified | ||||||
7 | taxpayer is notified of the recapture. If multiple taxpayers | ||||||
8 | claimed credit with respect to the building for which credit | ||||||
9 | is to be recaptured, each of those taxpayers shall be liable | ||||||
10 | for a portion of the recapture equal to the percentages of | ||||||
11 | credit with respect to the building originally claimed by the | ||||||
12 | taxpayer.
| ||||||
13 | Section 25. Filing requirements. An owner of a qualified | ||||||
14 | development that has been awarded a credit and each qualified | ||||||
15 | taxpayer claiming any portion of the credit must file with | ||||||
16 | their State tax returns a copy of the State credit eligibility | ||||||
17 | statement issued by an Authority for that qualified | ||||||
18 | development. In addition, the owner of a qualified development | ||||||
19 | or its designee shall file a copy of the allocation schedule | ||||||
20 | certification and reservation letter prior to any tax return | ||||||
21 | being filed claiming a State credit for such qualified | ||||||
22 | development. A qualified taxpayer receiving any allocated | ||||||
23 | portion of a credit through a pass-through entity shall attach | ||||||
24 | to its State tax return a copy of the Schedule K-1-P for that | ||||||
25 | taxable year.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Section 30. Compliance monitoring. An Authority, in | ||||||
2 | consultation with the Department and Department of Insurance, | ||||||
3 | shall monitor and oversee compliance with the provisions of | ||||||
4 | this Act and shall report specific occurrences of | ||||||
5 | noncompliance to the Department and the Department of | ||||||
6 | Insurance in the manner and form as provided by the Department | ||||||
7 | and the Department of Insurance. An Authority shall make every | ||||||
8 | effort to monitor and report noncompliance using the same | ||||||
9 | procedures used for compliance monitoring of the federal tax | ||||||
10 | credits.
| ||||||
11 | Section 35. Report to the General Assembly. | ||||||
12 | (a) Each Authority must, by March 31, 2026 and by March 31 | ||||||
13 | of each year thereafter, provide a written report to the | ||||||
14 | General Assembly and must publish that report on its website. | ||||||
15 | (b) The report shall: | ||||||
16 | (1) set forth the number of qualified developments | ||||||
17 | that have been awarded tax credits under this Act during | ||||||
18 | the calendar year and the total number of units supported | ||||||
19 | by each qualified development; | ||||||
20 | (2) describe each qualified development that has been | ||||||
21 | awarded tax credits under this Act, including, without | ||||||
22 | limitation, the geographic location of the qualified | ||||||
23 | development, the household type, the income levels | ||||||
24 | intended to be served by the qualified development, and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the rents or set-asides authorized for each qualified | ||||||
2 | development; | ||||||
3 | (3) provide housing market information that | ||||||
4 | demonstrates how the qualified developments supported by | ||||||
5 | the tax credits are addressing the need for affordable | ||||||
6 | housing within the communities they are intended to serve | ||||||
7 | as well as information about any remaining disparities in | ||||||
8 | the affordability of housing within those communities; and | ||||||
9 | (4) provide information about the percentage of | ||||||
10 | qualified developments that were awarded credits and that | ||||||
11 | received incentive scoring points as a result of the | ||||||
12 | general contractor, property manager, architect, or | ||||||
13 | sponsor being certified under the Business Enterprise | ||||||
14 | Program for Minorities, Females, and Persons with a | ||||||
15 | Disability.
| ||||||
16 | Section 900. The Illinois Income Tax Act is amended by | ||||||
17 | adding Section 241 as follows:
| ||||||
18 | (35 ILCS 5/241 new) | ||||||
19 | Sec. 241. Build Illinois Homes Tax Credit Act. | ||||||
20 | (a) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, | ||||||
21 | 2025 and until the expiration of the program under the Build | ||||||
22 | Illinois Homes Tax Credit Act, any eligible taxpayer with | ||||||
23 | respect to a credit awarded in accordance with the Build | ||||||
24 | Illinois Homes Tax Credit Act that is named on an allocation |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | schedule certification for a particular tax year is entitled | ||||||
2 | to a credit against the taxes imposed by subsections (a) and | ||||||
3 | (b) of Section 201 as provided in the Build Illinois Homes Tax | ||||||
4 | Credit Act. | ||||||
5 | (b) The taxpayer shall attach a copy of the allocation | ||||||
6 | schedule certification and the State credit eligibility | ||||||
7 | certificate issued under the Build Illinois Homes Tax Credit | ||||||
8 | Act to the tax return on which the credits are to be claimed. | ||||||
9 | (c) If, during any taxable year, a taxpayer is notified of | ||||||
10 | a final determination that a credit previously claimed on a | ||||||
11 | State income tax return in accordance with 42 U.S.C. 42 has | ||||||
12 | been recaptured, the tax imposed under subsections (a) and (b) | ||||||
13 | of Section 201 for that taxpayer for that taxable year shall be | ||||||
14 | increased. The amount of the increase shall be determined by | ||||||
15 | (i) recomputing the Build Illinois Homes Tax Credit that would | ||||||
16 | have been allowed for the year in which the credit was | ||||||
17 | originally allowed by eliminating the recaptured amount from | ||||||
18 | such computation, and (ii) subtracting that recomputed credit | ||||||
19 | from the amount of credit previously allowed. No Build | ||||||
20 | Illinois Homes Tax Credit shall be allowed with respect to any | ||||||
21 | credit subject to a final determination of recapture for any | ||||||
22 | taxable year ending after the issuance of a recapture notice.
| ||||||
23 | Section 905. The Illinois Insurance Code is amended by | ||||||
24 | changing Sections 409 and 444 as follows:
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (215 ILCS 5/409) (from Ch. 73, par. 1021) | ||||||
2 | Sec. 409. Annual privilege tax payable by companies. | ||||||
3 | (1) As of January 1, 1999 for all health maintenance | ||||||
4 | organization premiums written; as of July 1, 1998 for all | ||||||
5 | premiums written as accident and health business, voluntary | ||||||
6 | health service plan business, dental service plan business, or | ||||||
7 | limited health service organization business; and as of | ||||||
8 | January 1, 1998 for all other types of insurance premiums | ||||||
9 | written, every company doing any form of insurance business in | ||||||
10 | this State, including, but not limited to, every risk | ||||||

12 | societies, all farm mutual companies, all religious charitable | ||||||
13 | risk pooling trusts, and excluding all statutory residual | ||||||
14 | market and special purpose entities in which companies are | ||||||
15 | statutorily required to participate, whether incorporated or | ||||||
16 | otherwise, shall pay, for the privilege of doing business in | ||||||
17 | this State, to the Director for the State treasury a State tax | ||||||
18 | equal to 0.5% of the net taxable premium written, together | ||||||
19 | with any amounts due under Section 444 of this Code, except | ||||||
20 | that the tax to be paid on any premium derived from any | ||||||
21 | accident and health insurance or on any insurance business | ||||||

3 | days written notice to the company, or commence proceedings | ||||||
4 | for the suspension of business in this State under the | ||||||
5 | procedures set forth by Section 401.1 of this Code. The gross | ||||||
6 | taxable premium written shall be the gross amount of premiums | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||

5 | policyholders on maturing policies; dividends left to | ||||||
6 | accumulate to the credit of policyholders or annuitants | ||||||
7 | shall be included as gross taxable premium written when | ||||||
8 | such dividend accumulations are applied to purchase | ||||||

10 | paying period. | ||||||
11 | (2) The annual privilege tax payment due from a company | ||||||
12 | under subsection (4) of this Section may be reduced by: (a) the | ||||||
13 | excess amount, if any, by which the aggregate income taxes | ||||||
14 | paid by the company, on a cash basis, for the preceding | ||||||
15 | calendar year under Sections 601 and 803 of the Illinois | ||||||

19 | fire department taxes paid by the company during the preceding | ||||||
20 | calendar year under Section 11-10-1 of the Illinois Municipal | ||||||

23 | allowed as a deduction or offset against the company's | ||||||
24 | privilege tax liability for any other taxing period or | ||||||
25 | calendar year. | ||||||
26 | (3) If a company survives or was formed by a merger, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | consolidation, reorganization, or reincorporation, the | ||||||
2 | premiums received and amounts returned or paid by all | ||||||
3 | companies party to the merger, consolidation, reorganization, | ||||||
4 | or reincorporation shall, for purposes of determining the | ||||||
5 | amount of the tax imposed by this Section, be regarded as | ||||||
6 | received, returned, or paid by the surviving or new company. | ||||||
7 | (4)(a) All companies subject to the provisions of this | ||||||
8 | Section shall make an annual return for the preceding calendar | ||||||
9 | year on or before March 15 setting forth such information on | ||||||
10 | such forms as the Director may reasonably require. Payments of | ||||||

12 | for the current calendar year shall be due on or before April | ||||||
13 | 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15 of such year, except | ||||||
14 | that all companies transacting insurance in this State whose | ||||||
15 | annual tax for the immediately preceding calendar year was | ||||||
16 | less than $5,000 shall make only an annual return. Failure of a | ||||||
17 | company to make the annual payment, or to make the quarterly | ||||||
18 | payments, if required, of at least 25% of either (i) the total | ||||||
19 | tax paid during the previous calendar year or (ii) 80% of the | ||||||
20 | actual tax for the current calendar year shall subject it to | ||||||
21 | the penalty provisions set forth in Section 412 of this Code. | ||||||
22 | (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, no annual | ||||||
23 | return shall be required or made on March 15, 1998, under this | ||||||
24 | subsection. For the calendar year 1998: | ||||||
25 | (i) each health maintenance organization shall have no | ||||||
26 | estimated tax installments; |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (ii) all companies subject to the tax as of July 1, | ||||||
2 | 1998 as set forth in subsection (1) shall have estimated | ||||||
3 | tax installments due on September 15 and December 15 of | ||||||
4 | 1998 which installments shall each amount to no less than | ||||||
5 | one-half of 80% of the actual tax on its net taxable | ||||||
6 | premium written during the period July 1, 1998, through | ||||||
7 | December 31, 1998; and | ||||||
8 | (iii) all other companies shall have estimated tax | ||||||
9 | installments due on June 15, September 15, and December 15 | ||||||
10 | of 1998 which installments shall each amount to no less | ||||||
11 | than one-third of 80% of the actual tax on its net taxable | ||||||
12 | premium written during the calendar year 1998. | ||||||
13 | In the year 1999 and thereafter all companies shall make | ||||||
14 | annual and quarterly installments of their estimated tax as | ||||||
15 | provided by paragraph (a) of this subsection. | ||||||
16 | (5) In addition to the authority specifically granted | ||||||
17 | under Article XXV of this Code, the Director shall have such | ||||||
18 | authority to adopt rules and establish forms as may be | ||||||
19 | reasonably necessary for purposes of determining the | ||||||
20 | allocation of Illinois corporate income taxes paid under | ||||||
21 | subsections (a) through (d) of Section 201 of the Illinois | ||||||
22 | Income Tax Act amongst members of a business group that files | ||||||
23 | an Illinois corporate income tax return on a unitary basis, | ||||||
24 | for purposes of regulating the amendment of tax returns, for | ||||||
25 | purposes of defining terms, and for purposes of enforcing the | ||||||
26 | provisions of Article XXV of this Code. The Director shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | also have authority to defer, waive, or abate the tax imposed | ||||||
2 | by this Section if in his opinion the company's solvency and | ||||||
3 | ability to meet its insured obligations would be immediately | ||||||
4 | threatened by payment of the tax due. | ||||||
5 | (6) This Section is subject to the provisions of Section | ||||||
6 | 10 of the New Markets Development Program Act. | ||||||

11 | Sec. 444. Retaliation. | ||||||
12 | (1) Whenever the existing or future laws of any other | ||||||
13 | state or country shall require of companies incorporated or | ||||||
14 | organized under the laws of this State as a condition | ||||||
15 | precedent to their doing business in such other state or | ||||||
16 | country, compliance with laws, rules, regulations, and | ||||||
17 | prohibitions more onerous or burdensome than the rules and | ||||||
18 | regulations imposed by this State on foreign or alien | ||||||
19 | companies, or shall require any deposit of securities or other | ||||||
20 | obligations in such state or country, for the protection of | ||||||
21 | policyholders or otherwise or require of such companies or | ||||||
22 | agents thereof or brokers the payment of penalties, fees, | ||||||
23 | charges, or taxes greater than the penalties, fees, charges, | ||||||
24 | or taxes required in the aggregate for like purposes by this | ||||||
25 | Code or any other law of this State, of foreign or alien |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | companies, agents thereof or brokers, then such laws, rules, | ||||||
2 | regulations, and prohibitions of said other state or country | ||||||
3 | shall apply to companies incorporated or organized under the | ||||||

8 | required in the aggregate for like purposes of Illinois | ||||||
9 | companies doing business in such state or country, agents | ||||||
10 | thereof or brokers. Whenever any other state or country shall | ||||||
11 | refuse to permit any insurance company incorporated or | ||||||
12 | organized under the laws of this State to transact business | ||||||
13 | according to its usual plan in such other state or country, the | ||||||
14 | director may, if satisfied that such company of this State is | ||||||
15 | solvent, properly managed, and can operate legally under the | ||||||
16 | laws of such other state or country, forthwith suspend or | ||||||
17 | cancel the license of every insurance company doing business | ||||||
18 | in this State which is incorporated or organized under the | ||||||
19 | laws of such other state or country to the extent that it | ||||||

24 | residual market or special purpose assessments or guaranty | ||||||
25 | fund or guaranty association assessments, both under the laws | ||||||
26 | of this State and under the laws of any other state or country, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | and any tax offset or credit for any such assessment shall, for | ||||||
2 | purposes of this Section, be treated as a tax paid both under | ||||||
3 | the laws of this State and under the laws of any other state or | ||||||
4 | country. | ||||||
5 | (3) The terms "penalties", "fees", "charges", and "taxes" | ||||||

7 | penalties, fees, charges, and taxes collected on a cash basis | ||||||
8 | under State law and referenced within Article XXV exclusive of | ||||||
9 | any items referenced by subsection (2) of this Section, but | ||||||
10 | including any tax offset allowed under Section 531.13 of this | ||||||
11 | Code; the aggregate Illinois corporate income taxes paid under | ||||||
12 | Sections 601 and 803 of the Illinois Income Tax Act during the | ||||||
13 | calendar year for which the retaliatory tax calculation is | ||||||
14 | being made, less the recapture of any Illinois corporate | ||||||
15 | income tax cash refunds to the extent that the amount of tax | ||||||
16 | refunded was reported as part of the Illinois basis in the | ||||||
17 | calculation of the retaliatory tax for a prior tax year, | ||||||
18 | provided that such recaptured refund shall not exceed the | ||||||
19 | amount necessary for equivalence of the Illinois basis with | ||||||
20 | the state of incorporation basis in such tax year, and after | ||||||
21 | any tax offset allowed under Section 531.13 of this Code; | ||||||
22 | income or personal property taxes imposed by other states or | ||||||
23 | countries; penalties, fees, charges, and taxes of other states | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Section; and any penalties, fees, charges, and taxes required | ||||||
2 | as a franchise, privilege, or licensing tax for conducting the | ||||||
3 | business of insurance whether calculated as a percentage of | ||||||
4 | income, gross receipts, premium, or otherwise. | ||||||
5 | (4) Nothing contained in this Section or Section 409 or | ||||||
6 | Section 444.1 is intended to authorize or expand any power of | ||||||
7 | local governmental units or municipalities to impose taxes, | ||||||
8 | fees, or charges. | ||||||
