AB129-AA2,2,16 (c) Limitations.

If the credit under this subsection is not entirely offset against the taxes imposed under s. 71.43 that are otherwise due, the unused balance may be carried forward and credited against those taxes in the following years to the extent that it is not offset by those taxes otherwise due in all the years between the year in which the initial credit is claimed and the year in which the carry-forward credit is claimed.

If a credit that has been sold or transferred under this paragraph is subject to recapture under par. (f) 2., the person who claimed the credit is liable for the repayment provided under par. (f) 2. No credit may be sold or transferred under this paragraph until 180 days after the date on which the person becomes eligible to claim the credit.

AB129-AA2,3,12 (f) Administration. 1. Section 71.28 (4) (e), (g), and (h), as it applies to the credit under s. 71.28 (4), applies to the credit under this subsection.
