Review of such activities shall be in accordance with the procedures outlined in this chapter and shall not be subject to the Tennessee Uniform Administrative Procedures Act, compiled in chapter 5 of this title. (3) All lottery retailer contracts shall be renewable unless, in the discretion of the corporation, sooner cancelled or terminated. At the time of renewal, the corporation shall review the lottery retailer's compliance with this chapter and title 39, chapter 17, part 6. The corporation shall renew such contracts only if the lottery retailer is in compliance with this chapter and title 39, chapter 17, part 6 and would otherwise be eligible to be a lottery retailer pursuant to this chapter and the terms of the retailer's contract; provided, however, that a violation of title 39, chapter 17, part 6 by an employee of a lottery retailer shall only prohibit the issuance of a certificate of authority for the specific location of such violation for a period of one (1) year from the date of conviction unless, in the case of a lottery retailer operating multiple locations and in the discretion of the corporation, the entire contract should be cancelled or terminated as otherwise provided by this chapter or by the retailer's contract.

Participating investor's investment tax credit - Limits - Payment of retaliatory tax not required - Credits against other taxes
Status: in_force

(a) A participating investor shall earn an investment tax credit against its state premium tax liability equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the investment tax credit allocated to the participating investor under § 4-28-105 . The participating investor's investment tax credit shall be earned and vested upon making its investment in the qualified TNInvestco. Beginning January 1, 2012, a participating investor may claim the investment tax credit as follows: (1) In tax years 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015, an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the investment tax credit allocated to the participating investor; and (2) In tax years 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the investment tax credit allocated to the participating investor. (b) No participating investor's investment tax credit for any taxable year shall exceed the participating investor's state premium tax liability for such year. If the amount of the investment tax credit determined under this section for any taxable year exceeds the state premium tax liability, then the excess shall be an investment tax credit carryover to future taxable years until tax year 2037. Investment tax credits may be used in connection with both final payments and prepayments of a participating investor's state premium tax liability. Investment tax credits may be sold or otherwise transferred by a participating investor to another entity, which can likewise resell or transfer the tax credits; provided, that the department of revenue receives written notification within thirty (30) days of any sale or transfer.

(d) A participating investor is not required to reduce the amount of tax pursuant to the state premium tax liability included by the participating investor in connection with ratemaking for any insurance contract written in this state because of a reduction in the participating investor's tax liability based on the investment tax credit allowed under this section. (e) If the taxes paid by a participating investor with respect to its state premium tax liability constitute a credit against any other tax that is imposed by this state, the participating investor's credit against the other tax shall not be reduced by virtue of the reduction in the participating investor's tax liability based on the investment tax credit allowed under this section.
