  1. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a domestic or foreign insurer, including, without limitation, an insurer that is exempt from federal taxation pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 501(c)(29), which owns and substantially occupies and uses any building in this state as its home office or as a regional home office is entitled to a credit against the tax otherwise imposed by NRS 680B.027 in an amount determined pursuant to subsections 2 and 3.  2. To determine the amount of the credit to which an insurer is entitled, the insurer must first calculate:  (a) An amount equal to 50 percent of the aggregate amount of the tax as determined under NRS 680B.025 to 680B.039, inclusive; and  (b) An amount equal to the full amount of ad valorem taxes paid by the insurer during the calendar year next preceding the filing of the report required by NRS 680B.030, upon the home office or regional home office together with the land, as reasonably required for the convenient use of the office, upon which the home office or regional home office is situated.  3. The total aggregate amount of credits that may be applied by all insurers pursuant to subsection 1 must not exceed $5,000,000 and must be allocated to each insurer on a pro rata basis by determining the percentage of the total amount calculated for all insurers pursuant to subsection 2 that is allocable to each insurer.   4. As used in this section, a "regional home office" means an office of the insurer performing for an area covering two or more states, with a minimum of 25 employees on its office staff, the supervision, underwriting, issuing and servicing of the insurance business of the insurer.  5. The insurer shall, on or before March 15 of each year, furnish proof to the satisfaction of the Executive Director of the Department of Taxation, on forms furnished by or acceptable to the Executive Director, as to its entitlement to the tax reduction provided for in this section. A determination of the Executive Director of the Department of Taxation pursuant to this section is not binding upon the Commissioner for the purposes of NRS 682A.430 to 682A.436, inclusive.  6. An insurer is not entitled to the credits provided in this section unless:  (a) The insurer owned the property upon which the reduction is based for the entire year for which the reduction is claimed; and  (b) The insurer occupied at least 70 percent of the usable space in the building to transact insurance or the insurer is a general or limited partner and occupies 100 percent of its ownership interest in the building.  7. If two or more insurers under common ownership or management and control jointly own in equal interest, and jointly occupy and use such a home office or regional home office in this state for the conduct and administration of their respective insurance businesses as provided in this section, each of the insurers is entitled to the credits provided for by this section if otherwise qualified therefor under this section.  8. For the purposes of subsection 1, any insurer that is exempt from federal taxation pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 501(c)(29) and is restricted or prohibited from purchasing or owning real property pursuant to a contract with the Federal Government, including any entity thereof, shall be deemed to own any portion of any real property that the insurer occupies. The provisions of this subsection expire upon the expiration, cancellation, repayment or any other termination of the contract restricting or prohibiting such purchase or ownership.
