Effective - 28 Aug 2019, 2 histories   148.064. Ordering and limit reductions for certain credits — consolidated return — transfers of credits — effect of repeal of corporation franchise tax — pass through of tax credits by S corporation bank. — 1. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, this section shall determine the ordering and limit reductions for certain taxes and tax credits which may be used as credits against various taxes paid or payable by banking institutions. Except as adjusted in subsections 2, 3 and 6 of this section, such credits shall be applied in the following order until used against:  (1) The tax on banks determined under subdivision (2) of subsection 2 of section 148.030;  (2) The tax on banks determined under subdivision (1) of subsection 2 of section 148.030;  (3) The state income tax in section 143.071.  2. The tax credits permitted against taxes payable pursuant to subdivision (2) of subsection 2 of section 148.030 shall be utilized first and include taxes referenced in subdivisions (2) and (3) of subsection 1 of this section, which shall be determined without reduction for any tax credits identified in subsection 5 of this section which are used to reduce such taxes. Where a banking institution subject to this section joins in the filing of a consolidated state income tax return under chapter 143, the credit allowed under this section for state income taxes payable under chapter 143 shall be determined based upon the consolidated state income tax liability of the group and allocated to a banking institution, without reduction for any tax credits identified in subsection 5 of this section which are used to reduce such consolidated taxes as provided in chapter 143.  3. The taxes referenced in subdivisions (2) and (3) of subsection 1 of this section may be reduced by the tax credits in subsection 5 of this section without regard to any adjustments in subsection 2 of this section.  4. To the extent that certain tax credits which the taxpayer is entitled to claim are transferable, such transferability may include transfers among such taxpayers who are members of a single consolidated income tax return, and this subsection shall not impact other tax credit transferability.  5. For the purpose of this section, the tax credits referred to in subsections 2 and 3 shall include tax credits available for economic development, low-income housing and neighborhood assistance which the taxpayer is entitled to claim for the year, including by way of example and not of limitation, tax credits pursuant to the following sections: section 32.115, section 100.286, and sections 135.110, 135.225, 135.352 and 135.403.  6. For tax returns filed on or after January 1, 2001, including returns based on income in the year 2000, and after, a banking institution shall be entitled to an annual tax credit equal to one-sixtieth of one percent of its outstanding shares and surplus employed in this state if the outstanding shares and surplus exceed one million dollars, determined in the same manner as in section 147.010. This tax credit shall be taken as a dollar-for-dollar credit against the bank tax provided for in subdivision (2) of subsection 2 of section 148.030; if such bank tax was already reduced to zero by other credits, then against the corporate income tax provided for in chapter 143. For all tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2020, no tax credit shall be authorized under this subsection.  *7. In the event the corporation franchise tax in chapter 147 is repealed by the general assembly, there shall also be a reduction in the taxation of banks as follows: in lieu of the loss of the corporation franchise tax credit reduction in subdivision (1) of subsection 2 of section 148.030, the bank shall receive a tax credit equal to one and one-half percent of net income as determined in this chapter. This subsection shall take effect at the same time the corporation franchise tax in chapter 147 is repealed.  8. An S corporation bank or bank holding company that otherwise qualifies to distribute tax credits to its shareholders shall pass through any tax credits referred to in subsection 5 of this section to its shareholders as otherwise provided for in subsection 10 of section 143.471 with no reductions or limitations resulting from the transfer through such S corporation, and on the same terms originally made available to the original taxpayer, subject to any original dollar or percentage limitations on such credits, and when such S corporation is the original taxpayer, treating such S corporation as having not elected Subchapter S status.  *9. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, in the event the corporation franchise tax in chapter 147 is repealed by the general assembly, after such repeal all Missouri taxes of any nature and type imposed directly or used as a tax credit against the bank's taxes shall be passed through to the S corporation bank or bank holding company shareholder in the form otherwise permitted by law, except for the following:  (1) Credits for taxes on real estate and tangible personal property owned by the bank and held for lease or rental to others;  (2) Contributions paid pursuant to the unemployment compensation tax law of Missouri; or  (3) State and local sales and use taxes collected by the bank on its sales of tangible personal property and the services enumerated in chapter 144. ­­-------- (L. 1995 S.B. 215, A.L. 2000 S.B. 896, A.L. 2001 H.B. 738 merged with S.B. 186, A.L. 2019 S.B. 174)  *Revisor's Note: The corporation franchise tax in Chapter 147 was phased out over a five-year period beginning in 2012, and was fully phased out beginning January 1, 2016.
