54:10A-5.13. Entitlement to credit established by taxpayer
10. a. The burden of proof shall be on a taxpayer to establish by clear and convincing evidence that the taxpayer is entitled to the credit allowed pursuant to this act.

b. Notwithstanding any provision of this act to the contrary, no credit shall be allowed or applied under this act for any qualified investment property placed in service or use until the person asserting a claim for the allowance of credit under this act makes written application to the director for allowance of the credit as provided in this subsection and receives written acknowledgement of its receipt from the director. An application for credit is timely made if filed no later than the last day of the due date without extensions, for filing the tax return required under section 15 of P.L.1945, c.162 (C.54:10A-15), for the tax year in which the property to which the credit relates is placed in service or use and all information required by the director is provided as part of the application.

c. The failure to timely apply for the credit shall result in the forfeiture of 50% of the annual credit allowance otherwise allowable under this act. This penalty shall apply annually until such application is filed.
