The maximum amount of a person's investment that can be used as the basis for the credit is $2,000,000 and a business may receive no more than $1,000,000 in investments that qualify for the credit.
Under this bill, a person may claim an income and franchise tax credit equal to 25 percent of the person's investment in a qualified new business venture. The bill allows a person to use more than $2,000,000 in investments as the basis for the credit and to transfer the amount of any unused credit to another taxpayer.
