54:10A-5.46 Credit against certain tax.

15. For privilege periods ending on and after July 31, 2020, a taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the tax imposed by subsection c. of section 5 of P.L.1945, c.162 (C.54:10A-5) to the extent a subsidiary of the taxpayer received dividends and deemed dividends from other subsidiaries and included those dividends in its entire net income for the purposes of determining its tax liability pursuant to section 5 of P.L.1945, c.162 (C.54:10A-5) and paid tax on those dividends and deemed dividends to the State on a timely filed New Jersey corporation business tax return; provided, however, the taxpayer received those same dividends and deemed dividends from the subsidiary that paid tax to the State.

For purposes of this section, the members of a combined group filing a New Jersey combined return shall be treated as one taxpayer.

For purposes of this section, "paid tax" means the amount that the subsidiary paid to the State or would have paid but for the use of other tax credits, or but for subsections (u) and (v) of section 4 of P.L.1945, c.162 (C.54:10A-4), or, for a combined group filing a combined return, but for subsections g. and h. of section 18 of P.L.2018, c.48 (C.54:10A-4.6).

The credit allowed by this section shall be claimed in a form and manner prescribed by the director on a timely filed corporation business tax return.
