(a)
“Payroll Expense Tax Exclusion Credit” means the dollar amount by which a person would have been able to reduce its payroll expense tax liability pursuant to the Enterprise Zone Tax Credit under Section 906A of former Article 12-A and/or the Biotechnology Exclusion under Section 906.1 of former Article 12-A, as if the payroll expense tax were in full force and effect and calculated at a rate of 1.5%.
(b) For so long as a particular payroll expense tax exclusion listed under subsection (a) would have been in effect had the payroll expense tax not been repealed, a person may credit against its gross receipts tax liability for a tax year the amount of a particular payroll expense tax exclusion credit to which it would have been entitled under the former payroll expense tax; however, in no event shall such credit reduce a person’s gross receipts tax liability to less than zero. Any person who claims the credit under this Section 960 must meet all of the eligibility requirements of the former payroll expense tax exclusion(s) it claims. The credit may be claimed against the tax liability only of the person who would have qualified for the former payroll expense tax exclusion and not against any liability of related entities or other members of that person’s combined group.
