Section 32-9p-7 - Corporation tax credit(a) Each occupant of a manufacturing facility who is listed on an eligible certificate is entitled under Section 12-217e of the statutes to claim a credit against the corporation business tax payable under chapter 208 of the statutes. This credit will be in an amount equal to 25% of the portion of the corporation business tax which is allocable to the manufacturing facility; provided, however, that for any such manufacturing facility located in an enterprise zone designated pursuant to Section 32-70 of the General Statutes, and which satisfies the applicable requirements under Section 12-217e, this credit will be in the amount equal to 50% of the portion of the corporation business tax which is allocable to the manufacturing facility. Affected State agencies may conduct audits at any reasonable time of manufacturing facilities that have been issued certificates of eligibility entitling them to such tax credits to ensure compliance with the eligibility requirements described above. The owner of the facility may not claim this credit unless the owner is also an occupant of the facility.(b) As provided in the statutes, the portion of the tax which is allocable to the manufacturing facility will be determined by multiplying the tax by a fraction computed as the simple arithmetical mean of the following fractions: First, a fraction, the numerator of which is the average monthly net book value of the income year of the manufacturing facility and machinery and equipment acquired for and installed in the manufacturing facility, without deduction on account of any encumbrance thereon, or if rented to the taxpayer, the value of the manufacturing facility and machinery and equipment acquired for and installed in the manufacturing facility, computed by multiplying the gross rents payable by the taxpayer for the manufacturing facility and such machinery and equipment during the income year or period by eight, and the denominator, which is the sum of the average monthly net book value of all real property and machinery and equipment held and owned by the taxpayers in the State, without deduction on account of any encumbrance thereon and the value of all real property and machinery and equipment rented to the taxpayers in the State, computed by multiplying the gross rents payable during the income year by eight; and second, a fraction the numerator of which is all wages, salaries and other compensation paid during the income year to employees of the taxpayer whose positions are directly attributable to the manufacturing facility and the denominator of which is the wages, salaries and other compensation paid during the income year to all employees of the taxpayer in the State. An employee's position is directly so attributable if (1) the employee's service is performed or his base of operation is at the manufacturing facility, (2) the position did not exist prior to the construction, renovation, expansion or acquisition of the manufacturing facility, and (3) but for the construction, renovation, expansion or acquisition of the manufacturing facility the position would not have existed. For the purpose of this subsection, "gross rents'' means gross rents as defined in Section 12-218 of the statutes.(c) Limitations on the right of an occupant to claim a credit against corporation business taxes, including the aggregate ten year duration of the right, are described in Section 32-9p-9 of these regulations. In addition, no credit will be allowed unless a proper claim is filed with the claimant's tax return. Claim forms and instructions are contained in the Procedural Guide. Once an eligibility certificate is issued, the commissioner of revenue services is responsible for determining whether the credit claimed and any calculations made by any taxpayer are proper under the statutes.Conn.
