HB 240-FN-A - FISCAL NOTE

AN ACT repealing the prospective repeal date for the research and development tax credit.

FISCAL IMPACT:

      The Department of Revenue Administration states this bill, as introduced, will decrease state revenue by $1,000,000 in FY 2016 and each year thereafter. There will be no fiscal impact on state, county, and local expenditures, or county and local revenue.

METHODOLOGY:

    The Department of Revenue Administration states this bill repeals the prospective repeal date for the research and development tax credit, currently set at July 1, 2015. By repealing the repeal date, the bill allows the tax credit to remain in effect indefinitely. As the bill does not change the current $1,000,000 cap on credits allowed to be issued every year, and since aggregate credits requested each year have historically exceeded the $1,000,000 cap, the Department projects the bill will decrease state revenues by $1,000,000 in FY 2016 and each year thereafter.
