As used in this section, unless the context requires otherwise:
(a) "Approved company" means the same as defined in KRS 154.32-010 or
154.34-010;
(b) "Economic development project" means the same as defined in KRS
154.32-010;

(e) "Kentucky gross receipts" means the same as defined in KRS 141.0401;
and
(f) "Kentucky gross profits" means the same as defined in KRS 141.0401.
An approved company shall determine the income tax credit as provided in this
section.
An approved company which is an individual sole proprietorship subject to tax
under KRS 141.020 or a corporation or pass-through entity treated as a
corporation for federal income tax purposes subject to tax under KRS
141.040(1) shall:
(a) 1.
Compute the tax due at the applicable tax rates as provided by KRS
141.020 or 141.040 on net income as defined by KRS 141.010(11)
or taxable net income as defined by KRS 141.010(14), including
income from a reinvestment project or economic development
project;
2.
Compute the limited liability entity tax imposed under KRS 141.0401
including Kentucky gross profits or Kentucky gross receipts from the
reinvestment project or economic development project; and
3.
Add the amounts computed under subparagraphs 1. and 2. of this
paragraph and, if applicable, subtract the credit permitted by KRS
141.0401(3) from that sum. The resulting amount shall be the net
tax for purposes of this paragraph.
(b) 1.
Compute the tax due at the applicable tax rates as provided by KRS
141.020 or 141.040 on net income as defined by KRS 141.010(11)
or taxable net income as defined by KRS 141.010(14), excluding net
income attributable to a reinvestment project or economic
development project;
2.
Using the same method used under paragraph (a)2. of this
subsection, compute the limited liability entity tax imposed under
KRS 141.0401, including Kentucky gross profits or Kentucky gross
receipts from the reinvestment project or economic development
project; and
3.
Add the amounts computed under subparagraphs 1. and 2. of this
paragraph and, if applicable, subtract the credit permitted by KRS
141.0401(3) from that sum. The resulting amount shall be the net
tax for purposes of this paragraph.
(c) The tax credit shall be the amount by which the tax computed under
(4)
(5)
(6)
(7)
paragraph (a)3. of this subsection exceeds the tax computed under
paragraph (b)3. of this subsection; however, the credit shall not exceed
the limits set forth in KRS 154.32-070 or 154.34-120, as the case may be.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, an approved
company which is a pass-through entity not subject to the tax imposed by
KRS 141.040 or trust not subject to the tax imposed by KRS 141.040
shall be subject to income tax on the net income attributable to a
reinvestment project or economic development project at the rates
provided in KRS 141.020(2).
(b) The amount of the tax credit shall be determined as provided in
subsection (3) of this section. Upon the annual election of the approved
company, in lieu of the tax credit, an amount shall be applied as an
estimated tax payment equal to the tax computed in this section. Any
estimated tax payment made pursuant to this paragraph shall be in
satisfaction of the tax liability of the partners, members, shareholders, or
beneficiaries of the pass-through entity or trust, and shall be paid on
behalf of the partners, members, shareholders, or beneficiaries.
(c) The tax credit or estimated payment shall not exceed the limits set forth in
KRS 154.32-070 or 154.34-120, as the case may be.
(d) If the tax computed in this section exceeds the tax credit, the difference
shall be paid by the pass-through entity or trust at the times provided by
KRS 141.160 for filing the returns.
(e) Any estimated tax payment made by the pass-through entity or trust in
satisfaction of the tax liability of partners, members, shareholders, or
beneficiaries shall not be treated as taxable income subject to Kentucky
income tax by the partner, member, shareholder, or beneficiary.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, the net income subject to
tax, the tax credit, and the estimated tax payment determined under subsection
(4) of this section shall be excluded in determining each partner's, member's,
shareholder's, or beneficiary's distributive share of net income or credit of a
pass-through entity or trust.
If the reinvestment project or economic development project is a totally
separate facility:
(a) Net income attributable to the project for the purposes of subsections (3),
(4), and (5) of this section shall be determined under the separate
accounting method reflecting only the gross income, deductions,
expenses, gains, and losses allowed under KRS Chapter 141 directly
attributable to the facility and overhead expenses apportioned to the
facility; and
(b) Kentucky gross receipts or Kentucky gross profits attributable to the
project for the purposes of subsection (3) of this section shall be
determined under the separate accounting method reflecting only the
Kentucky gross receipts or Kentucky gross profits directly attributable to
the facility.
If the reinvestment project or economic development project is an expansion to
a previously existing facility:
(a)
(8)
(9)
Net income attributable to the entire facility shall be determined under the
separate accounting method reflecting only the gross income, deductions,
expenses, gains, and losses allowed under KRS Chapter 141 directly
attributable to the facility and overhead expenses apportioned to the
facility, and the net income attributable to the reinvestment project or
economic development project for the purposes of subsections (3), (4),
and (5) of this section shall be determined by apportioning the separate
accounting net income of the entire facility to the reinvestment project or
economic development project by a formula approved by the department;
and
(b) Kentucky gross receipts or Kentucky gross profits attributable to the
entire facility shall be determined under the separate accounting method
reflecting only the Kentucky gross receipts or Kentucky gross profits
directly attributable to the facility, and Kentucky gross receipts or
Kentucky gross profits attributable to the reinvestment project or
economic development project for the purposes of subsection (3) of this
section shall be determined by apportioning the separate accounting
Kentucky gross receipts or Kentucky gross profits of the entire facility to
the reinvestment project or economic development project by a formula
approved by the department.
If an approved company can show to the satisfaction of the department that the
nature of the operations and activities of the approved company are such that it
is not practical to use the separate accounting method to determine the net
income, Kentucky gross receipts, or Kentucky gross profits from the facility at
which the reinvestment project or economic development project is located, the
approved company shall determine net income, Kentucky gross receipts, or
Kentucky gross profits from the reinvestment project or economic development
project using an alternative method approved by the department.
The department may promulgate administrative regulations and require the
filing of forms designed by the department to reflect the intent of KRS
154.34-010 to 154.34-100 and Subchapter 32 of KRS Chapter 154, and the
allowable income tax credit which an approved company may retain under KRS
154.34-010 to 154.34-100 or Subchapter 32 of KRS Chapter 154.
