HB 518 FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT changing the prospective repeal date for the research and development tax credit.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Revenue Administration states this bill, as amended by the House (Amendment #2011-2579h), will decrease state revenue by $1,000,000 in FY 2014 and FY 2015. This bill will have no fiscal impact on state, county, and local expenditures, or county and local revenue.
METHODOLOGY:
The Department of Revenue Administration states this bill changes the repeal date of the Research and Development (R&D) tax credit program from July 1, 2013 to July 1, 2015. R&D tax credits are awarded against the Business Profits Tax (BPT) and Business Enterprise Tax (BET), and cannot exceed an aggregate of $1,000,000 in any fiscal year. The Department states since every year the requested R&D credits have exceeded $1,000,000, they assume the entire amount will be awarded in each fiscal year. The extension of such credit will result in a combined reduction of state general fund and education trust fund revenue of $1,000,000 in FY 2014 and FY 2015. The Department states they can administer this bill without any additional cost.
