(a) Any Certified Investor who makes an investment of Certified Capital pursuant to an allocation of Premium Tax Credits under § 31-5234 shall, in the year of investment, earn a Premium Tax Credit in the amount of the Certified Investor’s investment of Certified Capital.

(c)(1) A Certified Investor may use up to 1/2 of its Annual Amount to offset its required June 1st payment of 1/2 of an insurance company’s District Premium Tax Liability, as set forth under § 31-205(b)(4), beginning with the June 1, 2008 payment.

(2) A Certified Investor claiming a Premium Tax Credit shall not be required to pay any additional or retaliatory tax levied pursuant to § 31-205(f)(1) as a result of claiming the Premium Tax Credit.

(d) A Certified Investor shall not be required to reduce the amount of premium tax included by the Certified Investor in connection with ratemaking in the District, for any insurance written by the Certified Investor or affiliate thereof, because of a reduction in the Certified Investor’s District Premium Tax Liability from the utilization of the Premium Tax Credits.
