AN ACT relative to the net operating loss carryover under the business profits tax.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
241:1 Business Profits Tax; Definition of Taxable Business Profits; Net Operating Loss Carryovers. Amend RSA 77-A:1, IV to read as follows:
IV. "Taxable business profits" means gross business profits adjusted by the additions and deductions provided in RSA 77-A:4 except net operating loss carryover as defined in RSA 77-A:4, XIII, and then adjusted by the method of apportionment provided in RSA 77-A:3, and then further adjusted by net operating loss carryover as defined in RSA 77-A:4, XIII.
241:2 Business Profits Tax; Additions and Deductions; Net Operating Loss Carryover. Amend RSA 77-A:4, XIII to read as follows:
XIII. A deduction for the amount of the net operating loss carryover determined under section 172 of the United States Internal Revenue Code [in effect on December 31, 1996] apportioned in the year incurred according to RSA 77-A:3. A net operating loss shall only be apportioned in the year incurred [according to RSA 77-A:3] and not in the subsequent years it adjusts gross business profits. Net operating losses may only be carried forward for the 10 years following the loss year. For taxable periods ending:
(a) On or before June 30, 2003, the amount of net operating loss generated in a tax year that may be carried forward may not exceed $250,000.
(b) On or after July 1, 2003 and on or before June 30, 2004, the amount of net operating loss generated in a tax year that may be carried forward may not exceed $500,000.
(c) On or after July 1, 2004 and on or before June 30, 2005, the amount of net operating loss generated in a tax year that may be carried forward may not exceed $750,000.
(d) On or after July 1, 2005, the amount of net operating loss generated in a tax year that may be carried forward may not exceed $1,000,000.
(e) On or after January 1, 2013, the amount of net operating loss generated in a tax year that may be carried forward may not exceed $10,000,000.
In the case of a business organization not qualifying for treatment as a subchapter C corporation under the United States Internal Revenue Code, such deduction shall be the amount that would be determined under section 172 of the United States Internal Revenue Code [in effect on December 31, 1996] if the business organization were a subchapter C corporation and as limited by this section. A deduction for the amount of the net operating loss carryover shall be limited to losses incurred on or after July 1, 1997.
241:3 Applicability. This act shall apply to business organizations' tax years ending on or after December 31, 2022.
241:4 Effective Date. This act shall take effect July 1, 2022.
Approved: June 17, 2022
Effective Date: July 01, 2022
