FORM N-318 FORM N-318 (REV. 2015) GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Note: The High Technology Business Investment Tax Credit expired on December 31, 2010, i.e., no credit can be claimed for investments made after December 31, 2010. Note: If you are claiming the Ethanol Facility Tax Credit, no other credit can be claimed for the taxable year. Form N-318 is used to claim the nonrefundable High Technology Business Investment Tax Credit (credit). Section 235-110.9, HRS, provides that the credit is available for investments made in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2000 as follows: (1) In the year the investment was made, 35% of the investment, up to a maximum credit of $700,000 per each qualified high technology business (QHTB); (2) In the first year following the year in which the investment was made, 25% of the investment, up to a maximum credit of $500,000 per each QHTB; (3) In the second year following the investment, 20% of the investment, up to a maximum credit of $400,000 per each QHTB; (4) In the third year following the investment, 10% of the investment, up to a maximum credit of $200,000 per each QHTB; and (5) In the fourth year following the investment, 10% of the investment, up to a maximum credit of $200,000 per each QHTB. The tax credit may be claimed for income tax, franchise tax (financial institutions), and insurance premium tax purposes for tax years 20012010. For income and franchise tax purposes, the credit is claimed against the tax liability for the taxable year. Tax liability means tax liability reduced by all other credits, except for the technology infrastructure renovation tax credit, allowed the taxpayer under chapter 235, HRS, and chapter 241, HRS (if applicable). To claim the credit for insurance tax purposes, contact the Department Commerce and Consumer Affairs, Insurance Division. A taxpayer shall not claim the credit for an investment in a QHTB for the year that it ceases to be a QHTB (i.e., the business fails, terminates, or is dissolved). If at the close of any taxable year in the five-year period: (1) The business no longer qualifies as a QHTB; (2) The business or an interest in the business has been sold by the taxpayer investing in the QHTB; or (3) The taxpayer has withdrawn the taxpayer’s investment wholly or partially from the QHTB; the credit claimed shall be recaptured. The recapture shall be equal to 10% of the amount of the credit claimed in the preceding two taxable years. The amount of the recaptured credit determined shall be added to the taxpayer’s tax liability for the taxable year in which the recapture occurs. For the purposes of this credit, “QHTB” is defined as a business employing or owning capital or property, or maintaining an office in Hawaii provided that: (1) More than 50% of its total business activities are qualified research; and more than 75% of the qualified research is conducted in Hawaii; or (2) More than 75% of its gross income is derived from qualified research; provided that this income is received from: A. Products sold from, manufactured in, or produced in Hawaii; or B. Services performed in Hawaii. For the purposes of this credit, “Qualified Research” is defined in section 235-7.3, HRS, as: (1) Research and development work qualifying under section 41(d) of the Internal Revenue Code; (2) The development and design of computer software for ultimate commercial sale, lease, license or to be otherwise marketed, for economic consideration. With respect to the software’s development and design, the business shall have substantial control and retain substantial rights to the resulting intellectual property. See also section 235-1, HRS; (3) Biotechnology — fundamental knowledge regarding the function of biological systems from the macro level to the molecular and subatomic levels that has application to development including the development of novel products, services, technologies, and subtech PAGE 3 nologies from insights gained from research advances that add to the body of fundamental knowledge. See also section 235-1, HRS; (4) Performing arts products; (5) Sensor and optic technologies; (6) Ocean sciences; (7) Astronomy; or (8) Nonfossil fuel energy-related technology. For the purpose of this credit, “Investment” is defined in section 235-1, HRS, as a nonrefundable investment at risk, as the term is used in section 465 (with respect to deductions limited to amount at risk) of the Internal Revenue Code, in a QHTB, of cash that is transferred to the QHTB, the transfer of which is in connection with a transaction in exchange for stock, interests in partnerships, joint ventures, or other entities, licenses (exclusive or nonexclusive), rights to use technology, marketing rights, warrants, options, or any items similar to those included in this definition, including but not limited to options or rights to acquire any of the items included in this definition. The nonrefundable investment is entirely at risk of loss where repayment depends upon the success of the QHTB. If the money invested is to be repaid to the taxpayer, no repayment except for dividends or interest shall be made for at least one year from the date the investment is made. The annual amount of any dividend and interest payment to the taxpayer shall not exceed twelve per cent of the amount of the investment. Generally, an investment is deemed to be received by the QHTB when it is documented as received in exchange for an equity interest in the QHTB. The relevant date is the date the QHTB has control and custody of the funds, not when the funds are deposited in a bank or when the check is dated. All of the facts and circumstances will be taken into account in determining when an investment has been made in the QHTB. Attachments The taxpayer must attach to Form N-318: a separate Form N-318A for each investment in a QHTB and all Schedule K-1s which reported the taxpayer’s share of the credit. For example, a partner of a partnership must attach a Form N-318A and a copy of the partner’s Schedule K-1 from the partnership for the partner’s investment in the QHTB made via the partnership. Note: Failure to provide the required attachments or incomplete attachments will constitute a failure to properly claim the credit and all or a portion of the credit may be disallowed. Deadline for Claiming the Credit The deadline to claim the credit, including amended claims, is twelve months after the close of your taxable year. You cannot claim the credit after the deadline. For example, a taxpayer, who files an income tax return for calendar year 2015, must claim the credit by December 31, 2016. The taxpayer uses Form N-318 to claim the credit. The taxpayer attaches to the taxpayer’s tax return Forms N-318, N-318A, and Schedule K-1s (if applicable), and all required supporting documents.

Form N-318 (Obsolete) is a Hawaii Corporate Income Tax form. States often have dozens of even hundreds of various tax credits, which, unlike deductions, provide a dollar-for-dollar reduction of tax liability. Some common tax credits apply to many taxpayers, while others only apply to extremely specific situations. In most cases, you will have to provide evidence to show that you are eligible for the tax credit, and calculate the amount of the credit to which you are entitled.

About the Corporate Income Tax

The IRS and most states require corporations to file an income tax return, with the exact filing requirements depending on the type of company.

Sole proprietorships or disregarded entities like LLCs are filed on Schedule C (or the state equivalent) of the owner's personal income tax return, flow-through entities like S Corporations or Partnerships are generally required to file an informational return equivilent to the IRS Form 1120S or Form 1065, and full corporations must file the equivalent of federal Form 1120 (and, unlike flow-through corporations, are often subject to a corporate tax liability).

Additional forms are available for a wide variety of specific entities and transactions including fiduciaries, nonprofits, and companies involved in other specific types of business.
