Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a taxpayer may claim early stage seed and angel investment
income and franchise tax credits for the taxpayer's investments in qualified new
businesses. If the credit amounts exceed the taxpayer's tax liability, the taxpayer
does not receive a refund, but, instead, may apply the amount of the unused credits
to subsequent taxable years. Under this bill, if the credit amounts exceed the
taxpayer's tax liability, the taxpayer receives a refund.

For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
