(1) (a) For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2007, an ethanol producer shall be eligible for a nonrefundable tax credit against the taxes imposed by <br>KRS 141.020 or 141.040 and 141.0401 in an amount certified by the <br>department under subsection (3) of this section. The credit rate shall be one <br>dollar (&#36;1) per ethanol gallon produced, unless the total amount of approved <br>credit for all ethanol producers exceeds the annual ethanol tax credit cap. If <br>the total amount of approved credit for all ethanol producers exceeds the <br>annual ethanol tax credit cap, the department shall determine the amount of <br>credit each ethanol producer receives by multiplying the annual ethanol tax <br>credit cap by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of approved <br>credit for the ethanol producer and the denominator of which is the total <br>approved credit for all ethanol producers. (b) The credit allowed under paragraph (a) of this subsection shall be applied both to the income tax imposed under KRS 141.020 or 141.040 and to the limited <br>liability entity tax imposed under KRS 141.0401, with the ordering of credits <br>as provided in KRS 141.0205. (2) The credit provided under subsection (1) of this section shall not be carried forward to a return for any other period. (3) Each ethanol producer eligible for the credit provided under subsection (1) of this section shall file an ethanol tax credit claim for ethanol gallons produced in this <br>state on forms prescribed by the department by January 15 following the close of <br>the preceding calendar year. The department shall determine the amount of the <br>approved credit based on the amount of ethanol produced in this state during the <br>preceding calendar year and shall issue a credit certificate to the ethanol producer by <br>April 15 following the close of the preceding calendar year. (4) In the case of an ethanol producer that has a fiscal year end for purposes of computing the tax imposed by KRS 141.020, 141.040, and 141.0401, the amount of <br>approved credit provided under subsection (1) of this section shall be claimed on <br>the return filed for the first fiscal year ending after the close of the preceding <br>calendar year. Effective: August 30, 2007 <br>History: Created 2007 (2d Extra. Sess.) Ky. Acts ch. 1, sec. 24, effective August 30, 2007.
