§ 1624. Special rules for certain tax credits of pass-through entities.
(a) In general. — The credits allowed by Chapters 18 and 20 of this title against the taxes imposed by Chapters 11 and 19 of this title on account of activities and investments of a pass-through entity shall be passed through to its members in proportion to their respective distributive shares of such entity's taxable income on the last day of such entity's taxable year.
(b) Qualifications for credits. — The qualification of a pass-through entity for any credit allowed by Chapter 18 or Chapter 20 of this title shall be determined by treating such entity as the taxpayer for purposes of Chapter 18 or Chapter 20, as the case may be.
(c) Limitations on credits. — In the case of any credit allowed to a pass-through entity by Chapter 18 or Chapter 20 of this title, the limitations imposed by Chapter 18 or Chapter 20, as the case may be, shall be applied:
(1) At the level of the pass-through entity in the case of a limitation based on:
a. The value of property contributed or money invested,
b. The total allowable credit per taxpayer per year, or
c. The number of persons employed; and
(2) At the level of each member of the pass-through entity in the case of a limitation on the total amount of tax against which such credit may be applied.
(d) Multiple pass-through entities. — Whenever 2 or more pass-through entities together undertake any qualified activity at the same qualified facility as those terms are used in subchapter II or subchapter III of Chapter 20 of this title, and such combination of pass-through entities is not itself a pass-through entity under this chapter, the qualified employees, qualified investment and number of Delaware resident employees of such pass-through entities shall be aggregated to determine eligibility for, and computation of, credits or reductions of tax under those subchapters. Participation of the pass-through entities in the aggregate credits shall be determined by the share of each pass-through entity based upon the following:
(1) In the case of credits calculated with respect to an increase in qualified employees, upon the ratio of new qualified employees in such pass-through entity to all new qualified employees in all the pass-through entities comprising the aggregate, such ratio not to exceed 1 or be less than zero; and
(2) In the case of credits calculated with respect to the amount of a qualified investment, upon the ratio of qualified investment in such pass-through entity to all qualified investment in all the pass-through entities comprising the aggregate. In order to claim credits resulting from such aggregation under this subsection, the entities must first file a “Request for Aggregation” with the Director and obtain the Director's approval to aggregate. The Request shall identify the entities to be aggregated, the qualified activity to be engaged in, the location of the qualified facility, the amount of qualified investment, the number of qualified employees, the proposed participation of each pass-through entity in credits determined under this subsection, and other information required by the Director to determine the aggregated entity and its eligibility for credits.
