§6017. Tax credits for certain expenses paid by economic development corporations

            A. There shall be allowed a credit against any Louisiana income or corporation franchise taxes for the filing fee paid to the Louisiana State Bond Commission that is incurred by an economic development corporation in the preparation and issuance of bonds, as provided for in Chapter 27 of Title 33 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950. The credit shall be an amount equal to seventy-two percent of the amount of the filing fee paid to the Louisiana State Bond Commission that is incurred by the corporation in the preparation and issuance of the bonds.

            B. Any such credit shall be taken as a credit against the applicable tax or taxes in the taxable period in which the expenses were incurred. The total of all such credits taken in a taxable year shall not exceed the total tax liability for that taxable year.

            C. Commencing no later than January 31, 2016, the House Committee on Ways and Means and the Senate Committee on Revenue and Fiscal Affairs shall review the credit authorized pursuant to the provisions of this Section to determine if the economic benefit provided by such credit outweighs the loss of revenue realized by the state as a result of awarding such credit. The House and Senate committees shall make a specific recommendation no later than March 1, 2017, to either continue the credit or to terminate the credit.
