The amount of the credit shall be determined under subsection (b) of this section. Credits under this section shall be taken by the employer against taxes in the order specified in this subsection.
(b) Subject to the limitations contained in subsections (c) and (d) of this section, the credit granted under subsection (a) of this section shall be 10% of the direct cost (DC) of developing, implementing and maintaining the Travelink plan/program, or the product of either equation described below, whichever product of the equations below is less:
(1) TC = (CTR/CTG) x DC; or
(2) TC = CTR x $250.
As used in this subsection, TC is the amount of the tax credit; CTG is the number of commuter trips generated, defined herein as the annualized number of employees reporting and departing from the place of employment during the peak travel periods and also nonpeak travel periods for welfare-to-work programs; CTR is the number of commuter trip reductions, defined herein as the number of employees participating in a Department-approved travelink program for at least 100 days of the applicable taxable year or a pro rata share thereof for a program encompassing less than a full taxable year; and DC is the employer's allowable direct costs.
(c) The amount of the credit allowable under this section for any taxable year shall not exceed 100 percent of the amount of taxes and/or fees imposed upon the employer by the statutes referred to in subsection (a) of this section, for such taxable year (computed without regard to this section).
(d) The amount of the credit determined under subsection (b) of this section for any taxable year that is not allowable for such taxable year solely as a result of the limitation contained in subsection (c) of this section shall be a credit carryover for up to 3 subsequent taxable years. In applying the limitation contained in subsection (c) of this section to any taxable year to which a credit may be carried under this subsection, any credit carryovers to such taxable year shall be considered to be applied in reduction of the taxes and/or fees imposed upon employers referred to in subsection (a) of this section for such taxable year in the order of the taxable years from which such taxable years are carried over, beginning with the credit carryover from the earliest taxable year, and only after all such credit carryovers to such taxable year have been allowed in full shall any credit that would be allowable in such taxable year without regard to this subsection be allowed.
