Business Investment and Jobs Expansion Credit
2BCS-1

WV/BCS-1 Rev. March, 2004 BUSINESS INVESTMENT AND JOBS EXPANSION CREDIT AND CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS RELOCATION CREDIT (SUPER CREDITS) The following information, instructions, and forms are not a substitute for tax laws and regulations. GENERAL INFORMATION BUSINESS INVESTMENT AND JOBS EXPANSION CREDIT The Business Investment and Jobs Expansion Credit was enacted in 1985 by the State Legislature. The purpose of the Business Investment and Jobs Expansion Tax Credit is to promote net employment growth within West Virginia. In return for net employment growth (e.g., fifty new jobs) through capital investment, the State provides tax credit to offset the additional taxes directly attributable to the qualified investment and new jobs. The credit is available to any eligible taxpayer, or group of project participant taxpayers, making a qualified investment in a new or expanded business facility in this State. This investment must also result in new job creation. The credit is determined by multiplying the amount of the taxpayer’s qualified investment by the taxpayer’s new jobs percentage and is generally applied over a ten (10) year period (at 1/10th per year) beginning in the taxable year in which the qualified investment is placed in service or use, or, at the taxpayer’s option, in the next succeeding tax year. The Business Investment and Jobs Expansion Credit is generally available for investment placed into service or use over a period of 365 days, beginning on the date when property purchased or leased for business expansion is first placed into service or use. Provisions are available for multiple party projects and multiple year projects, or both as long as project certification has been obtained from the Tax Commissioner. The Business Investment and Jobs Expansion Tax Credit is claimed against that portion of the following taxes, in the order listed, that are attributable to the qualified investment: Business and Occupation, Telecommunications, Business Franchise, Corporation Net Income, and Personal Income. The credit is applied in four steps (the annual credit allowance, the rebate allowance, the deferred allowance, and a free up allowance for certain taxpayers subject to the minimum coal severance tax) which are explained later. The credit attributable for one qualified project may not be applied to any tax liability unrelated to that project. LEGISLATIVE CHANGES The Super Credit was expanded in 1986 to include certified projects and relocation of corporate headquarters to the State. In 1987, the Small Business Credit was added (see Form WV/BCS-Small for details relating to the Small Business Credit). Additional changes involving credit restrictions and new filing requirements were added in 1990. ♦ In 1993 and 1994, the following major revisions were made to restrict the use of the credit: ♦ The credit may not be applied against the Consumers Sales and Service Tax and Use Tax for purchases made on or after July 1, 1993. ♦ There is a suspension of new credit entitlement for property placed into service or use after April 9, 1993. The suspension does not apply to manufacturing; information processing; warehousing; goods distribution; destination-oriented recreation and tourism; or to qualified investments for which credit applications were filed before April 10, 1993. 1 ♦ New language in the law strengthened the Tax Commissioner’s authority to use alternate procedures when the payroll fraction for determining tax attributable to qualified investment method does not fairly represent the tax liability directly attributable to the qualified investment. ♦ For tax years ending after May 31, 1993, all taxpayers claiming the Business Investment and Jobs Expansion Tax Credit (Super Credit) must now defer 20% of the value of their annual credit until the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth tax years subsequent to the year investment is placed in service or use. ♦ Certain taxpayers also may claim an additional amount of credit to “free-up” super credit value lost as a result of the increase in the minimum coal severance tax rate. This free-up credit may be used against Business Franchise Tax, Corporation Net Income Tax and Personal Income Tax. ♦ Special recapture tax provisions may apply to taxpayers who place qualified investment into service on or after March 12, 1994. CERTIFIED PROJECTS The Business Investment and Jobs Expansion Credit also may be claimed for a project certified by the Tax Commissioner. A project eligible for certification is one in which: 1. the qualified investment creates at least 50 new jobs but such investment is placed in service or use over a period of three successive tax years rather than a period of 365 days or less. The investment is eligible for project certification only if made in accordance with a written business facility development plan, and the investment placed in service or use during the first year would not have been made without the expectation of making the qualified investment placed in service or use during the next two succeeding tax years; 2. the qualified investment is made by one or more persons, but some or all of the new jobs created at each new or expanded business facility are created by one or more other persons. For this type of project, at least 50 new jobs must be created and certified by the Tax Commissioner as new jobs created as a direct result of the qualified investment, and that the investment is made according to a written business facility development plan; or 3. the qualified investment in an integrated project made pursuant to a written business facility development plan is made by one or more persons but some or all of the new jobs are created by one or more other persons and at least 50 of the new jobs are created within a 50 mile radius of each new or expanded business facility. The new jobs must be certified by the Tax Commissioner as new jobs created as a direct result in the investment. The allowable credit is determined by multiplying the qualified investment by the applicable new jobs percentage and may be claimed by one or more participants in the project. The manner of credit allocation must be specified in the application for certification and is considered binding. Before any credit may be claimed or approved, a request for certification of a project must be filed with and certified by the Tax Commissioner. Taxpayers may not apply credit against a tax liability until certified. Failure to timely file a request for certification will result in the imposition of interest on the recapture of any erroneous credits claimed. CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS RELOCATION CREDIT The Corporate Headquarters Relocation Credit is allowable for corporate headquarters placed in service or use in West Virginia on or after February 1, 1986. An out-of-state corporation relocating its headquarters to West Virginia is allowed a tax credit if it employs at least 15 domiciled West Virginia residents on a full-time basis at its new location. The adjusted qualified investment is the same as the qualified investment determined for the Business Investment and Jobs Expansion Credit, plus the cost of reasonable and necessary expenses incurred to relocate the corporate headquarters. The amount of the credit is determined by multiplying the adjusted qualified investment by ten percent. However, if at least 50 jobs are attributable to the relocation or a combination of other qualified investment and the relocation, the regular Business Investment and Jobs Expansion Tax Credit percentages beginning at fifty percent 50% may be used. 2 APPLICATION FOR CREDIT REQUIRED Taxpayers placing qualified investment into service or use on or after January 1, 1990 must complete an Application for West Virginia Business Investment and Jobs Expansion Tax Credit (Form WV/BCS-A) with the Tax Commissioner and receive written acknowledgment of such application prior to claiming the credit. The application must be filed annually no later than the due date of the taxpayer’s annual income tax return determined without regard to any extension of time for filing such returns. Form WV/BCS-A must be filed on a timely basis before claiming tax credits. Failure to do so will result in forfeiture of 50% of the annual credit allowance utilized until the application is filed. ELIGIBLE TAXPAYERS Any taxpayer subject to the West Virginia Business and Occupation Tax, Severance Tax, Telecommunications Tax, Business Franchise Tax, Corporation Net Income Tax, Personal Income Tax, or any combination thereof, who makes qualified investment in a new or expanded business facility located in West Virginia that results in the creation of at least 50 new jobs, potentially qualifies for the above credits. An eligible taxpayer can also include an affiliated group of corporations that file a consolidated West Virginia Corporation Net Income Tax return. QUALIFIED INVESTMENT PROPERTY Qualified investment property is property constructed, purchased, leased or transferred into West Virginia and placed in service or use, as a component of a new or expanded business facility located in this State. The amount of the qualified investment is determined by the cost, or other basis, and the useful life of the property. Critical elements in the determination of qualified investment property for purposes of this credit are how, and from whom, the property is acquired; the acquisition date; date and term of a lease; transfer date; date placed in service or use in this State; as well as the useful life of the property. For the Business Investment and Jobs Expansion Credit, qualifying investment property acquired and placed in service or use in this State on or after March 1, 1985 may be counted toward the credit. QUALIFIED INVESTMENT PROPERTY MAY INCLUDE: 1. Natural resources in place, purchased or leased on or after March 1, 1985 but prior to March 10, 1990 capable of sustained production for a period of ten or more years. 2. Real property and improvements thereto, having a useful life of four or more years placed in service or use in West Virginia on or after March 1, 1985. 3. Real property and improvements thereto, or tangible personal property acquired by written lease with a primary term of ten or more years placed in service or use in West Virginia on or after March 1, 1985. 4. Depreciable or amortizable tangible personal property placed in service or use in West Virginia on or after March 1, 1985, with a useful life of four or more years at the time the property is placed in service or use in this State. 5. Tangible personal property acquired by written lease having a primary term of four or more years that was commenced and executed on or after February 1, 1986. 6. Tangible personal property owned or leased, used at a business location outside this State which is moved into this State on or after February 1, 1986. If owned, property must be depreciable or amortizable and have a useful life of four or more years remaining at the time the property is placed in service or use in this State. If leased, the primary term of the lease remaining at the time the property is placed in service or use in West Virginia must be four or more years. QUALIFIED INVESTMENT PROPERTY MAY NOT INCLUDE: 1. Property owned or leased, for which another tax credit (e.g. for Industrial Expansion and Revitalization, Research and Development Projects; or Coal Loading Facilities) has been taken by the taxpayer, seller, lessor, or other transferor. 2. Repair costs, unless capitalized for federal income tax purposes. 3. Motor vehicles licensed by the West Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles that were purchased or leased prior to February 1, 1986. 3 4. Airplanes 5. Off-premise transportation equipment purchased or leased prior to February 1, 1986. 6. Property primarily used outside this State. 7. Property acquired incidental to the purchase of the stock or assets of the seller. This restriction can be waived by the Tax Commissioner. 8. Natural resources in place purchased or leased after March 9, 1990 and not subject to a statutory transition rule or prior to March 1, 1985, or pursuant to an option acquired prior to March 1, 1985 but exercised on or after March 10, 1990. 9. Property purchased or leased after March 9, 1990, the cost of which cannot be quantified when such property is placed in service. 10. Property not directly attributable to the qualified investment activity (e.g. recreational boat, vehicle for personal use). DATE PLACED IN SERVICE OR USE Property is considered to be placed in service or use in the earlier of: 1. The taxable year in which, under the taxpayer’s depreciation practice, the period for depreciation for such property begins; or 2. The taxable year in which the property is placed in a condition or state of readiness and availability for a specifically assigned function. REQUIRED RECORDS For each item of qualified property, the taxpayer must maintain records to establish the following: 1. Its identity. 2. Its actual or reasonably determined cost. 3. The month and taxable year in which it was placed in service or use. 4. Its straight line depreciation. 5. The amount of credit taken. 6. The date it was disposed of or otherwise ceased to be qualified property. Such records must be retained for a period of three years after the last year for which the credit is claimed. COST OR OTHER BASIS 1. The cost of purchased property may not include the value of property given in trade or exchange for the property purchased. 2. The cost of replacement property may not include any insurance proceeds received in compensation for property damaged or destroyed by fire, flood, storm or other casualty or is stolen. With few exceptions, investment in natural resources in place will not qualify for the credit. 3. To qualify as investment property, natural resources in place must be purchased only during specific time periods or subject to a statutory transition rule, and must be capable of sustained production for a period of at least ten years. The cost for purchased natural resources in place that meet this qualification is 100% of the purchase price that is attributable to at least ten years of production, but not more than 20 years of production. 4. The cost of real property with a written primary lease term of ten or more years is 100% of the rent reserved for the primary term of the lease, not to exceed 20 years. 5. For leased natural resources in place which qualify, capable of ten or more years of sustained production, the cost is 100% of the rent reserved for the primary term of the lease, not to exceed twenty years, or royalties paid 4 cost is 100% of the rent reserved for the primary term of the lease, not to exceed twenty years, or royalties paid for ten years. Leases of natural resources must have a primary term of at least ten years. 6. The cost of tangible personal property with a written primary lease term of at least four years but less than six years is one third (1/3) of the rent reserved for the primary term of the lease. 7. For tangible personal property with a written primary lease term of at least six years but less than eight years, the cost is two thirds (2/3) of the rent reserved for the primary term of the lease. 8. For tangible personal property with a written lease term of eight or more years, the cost is 100% of the rent reserved for the primary term of the lease, not to exceed 20 years. The rent reserved may not include rent for any year subsequent to the expiration of the book life of the property, determined by use of the straight line method of depreciation. 9. For qualifying property purchased for multiple use the cost must be pro-rated. 10. For self constructed property the cost is the amount properly charged to the capital account for depreciation in accordance with federal income tax law. 11. The cost of property transferred into this State is determined based on remaining useful life of the property at the time it is placed in service or use in this State. The cost is the original cost of the property to the taxpayer less straight line depreciation allowable for tax years, or portions of tax years, the property was used outside West Virginia. 12. For leased tangible personal property transferred into this State, the cost is based on the period remaining in the primary term of the lease after the property is brought into this State for use in a new or expanded business. The cost is the rent reserved for the remaining period of the primary lease term, not to exceed 20 years of the remaining useful life, whichever is less. 13. For leased property placed into service on or after March 10,1990 for which the cost is not quantifiable at the outset of the lease, only the quantifiable portion, if any, may be aggregated as a qualified investment. 14. The cost of relocating corporate headquarters is the expenses incurred and paid by the corporation to unrelated third parties and which have been certified by the Tax Commissioner to have been both reasonable and necessary to effectuate the move. JOBS CALCULATION The new jobs percentage is based on the number of new jobs created in this State that are directly attributable to the qualified investment in a new or expanded business facility. The number of new jobs created by the investment is determined by the net increase in employment by the business (or controlled group of businesses) in West Virginia over a base year level. The base year is the 12 month period immediately preceding the placement of qualified investment into service or use. The hours of qualified part-time employees may be aggregated to determine the number of equivalent full-time employees for the purpose of ascertaining the number of new jobs created. A “New Job” is one that did not exist in the business of the taxpayer in this State prior to the investment in the new or expanded business facility. This position must be filled by a new employee. The number of new jobs is the net of new jobs created less any jobs lost in any part or segment of the employer’s business in West Virginia over the same time period. A “New Employee” is a West Virginia domiciled resident hired to fill one of the new jobs on a permanent basis. Temporary or seasonal employment does not qualify as a new job. Persons hired on a temporary or seasonal basis do not qualify as new employees. For regular non-project or regular project Business Investment and Jobs Expansion Credit, an estimation of the expected number of new jobs is made in the first taxable year for which the credit is claimed. In the third tax year the actual number of new jobs created must be certified by the business. Adjustments must be made for the new jobs percentage if the number of new jobs certified varies from the number of new jobs estimated. The allowable credit is then redetermined for prior and future years. Once certified, if the number of new jobs declines in any tax year, resulting in a decreased new jobs percentage, the credit is redetermined. However, if the number of new jobs subsequently increases to the former threshold, the credit will be reinstated. (This mechanism in this paragraph is 5 applicable to all Super Credits except the Corporate Headquarters Relocation Credit.) A job is attributable to the qualified investment if: 1. The employee’s service is performed or his base of operations is at the new or expanded facility; and 2. The position did not exist prior to the making of the investment in the new or expanded facility; and 3. The position exists only because of the investment in the new or expanded facility. CALCULATION OF FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT EMPLOYEES The hours of qualified part-time employees are aggregated to determine the number of equivalent full-time employees for the purpose of determining the applicable new jobs percentage. However, they may not be aggregated for the purpose of determining when a job is attributable to the qualified investment. Part-time employment qualifies if the employee works at least 20 hours per week for at least 6 months or 520 hours per year (26 weeks @ 20 hours per week). Full-time employment is 140 hours per month or 1,680 hours per year (140 hours times 12 months). However for investments in place prior to March 10, 1990 full-time employment is 120 hours per month or 1,440 hours per year (120 hours times 12 months). Qualified Employees Full-Time Equivalent Net Full-Time Equivalent 200 @ < 520 hrs 50 @ 750 hrs 20 @ 1,500 hrs 6 @ 1,700 hrs 4 @ 2,080 hrs 1,680 1,680 1,680 1,680** 1,680*** Do Not Qualify * = 22.32 = 17.86 = 6.00 = 4.00 Total Net Full-Time Equivalent Employees * ** *** = 50.18 Must work for at least 6 months at 20 or more hours per week to qualify These employees work at least 20 hours per week for at least 6 months during the year. Hours beyond 1,680 (1,440 for projects in place prior to 1990) may not be counted as additional employees. REQUIRED EMPLOYMENT RECORDS The taxpayer must maintain records to establish the following: 1. Total full-time equivalent employment in place during the year immediately preceding the year qualified investment was first placed into service or use. 2. Total full-time equivalent employment in place during each year of the project. Such records must be retained for a period of three years after the last year for which the credit is claimed. REDETERMINATION, FORFEITURE, AND RECAPTURE OF CREDIT If during any taxable year, property used as a qualified investment for any of these credits is disposed of prior to the end of its useful life or ceases to be used in an eligible business, the unused portion of the credit attributable to that investment is forfeited for the taxable year and all ensuing years. Forfeiture also applies if the taxpayer ceases operation of a business facility for which credit was allowed before expiration of the useful life of the qualified investment property. The failure to create or maintain the necessary number of new jobs for credit entitlement also results in credit forfeiture. REDETERMINATION IS REQUIRED FOR: 1. Failure to create the minimum number of new jobs within the required two to three year period: The entire credit is forfeited. Any Credit claimed during the first three years must be paid back (recaptured) with interest and a ten percent penalty. 6 2. Failure to maintain the minimum number of new jobs in any year subsequent to the initial three year period (i.e. years four through ten): The credit is forfeited for any year in question, but may be reinstated for any remaining year in which the minimum number is attained, thus enabling the taxpayer to utilize the full annual credit allowance for that taxable year. 3. Failure to maintain the number of jobs necessary to attain a jobs percentage in the 60% to 90% category: The credit for year(s) affected must be redetermined to reflect the jobs percentage attributable to the actual employment increase. 4. Credit attributable to property that ceases to be used in this State prior to the end of its categorized useful life must be recalculated for all tax years according to actual useful life. If the recalcualtion of credit according to actual useful life results in an overutilization in a previous year, then a reconciliation statement must be filed with the payment of any additional tax and interest due. Credit attributable to property with a useful life of less than four years is forfeited for all years. EXAMPLE Company A creates 50 new jobs and invests $10 million in equipment with a designated useful life of 8 years in 1987. The credit for Company A is calculated to equal $5,000,000 or $500,000 per year for 10 years. However, Company A moves this equipment to New York in 1992; therefore the equipment’s actual useful life in West Virginia is reduced to only 5 years. The corresponding credit is reduced according to the above formula from $5,000,000 to $1,666,667 or $166,667 per year for 10 years. A reconciliation statement for tax years 1987 through 1992 reflecting an overutilization of credit must be filed with payment of any additional tax, interest, and penalties owed. REDETERMINATION IS NOT REQUIRED: 1. For a mere change in the form of conducting business. However, the property must be retained in a business in this State and the taxpayer must retain a controlling interest in the successor business. Prior to the 1990 law changes, the form of conducting business made a difference for some taxpayers between qualification for credit and nonqualification for credit. Some businesses met the net jobs increase criteria on a separate basis but not on a consolidated basis. In these cases, a mere change in the form of conducting business (e.g. from a separate filing to a combined filing) could result in credit redetermination and credit forfeiture. 2. If the forfeiture occurs because property is stolen, or damaged by fire, flood, storm, or other casualty. 3. If the business is transferred or sold to a successor business in this State. According to laws governing the credit, any available credit is allowed for subsequent tax years. The Tax Credit Computation Schedule is designed to accommodate all or any part of these tax credits. Contained within the schedule and instructions is more detailed information regarding the Business Investment and Jobs Expansion Credits. 7 INSTRUCTIONS AND FORMS Part I QUALIFIED INVESTMENT PLACED IN SERVICE OR USE IN THIS TAXABLE YEAR IN WEST VIRGINIA Sections 1-4 These Sections should be completed for qualified investment placed in service or use in this taxable year, unless an election to defer the credit was made. If the election to defer was made for the prior year, then these sections should be completed for qualified investment placed into service during the prior year. If this is a certified multiple year project, include the qualified investment placed in service or use in the prior year along with the current year qualified investment. If an election was made to defer the credit for the previous year, include only the qualified investment for the current year. Leased property placed into service or use prior to January 1, 1990 for which the cost is not quantifiable at outset should be reported in Section 6. (See instructions below). The qualified investment is determined by multiplying the cost or other basis (Part I, Column (1), Sections 1-4) by the applicable percentage (Part I, Column (2), Section 1-4). Enter the amount from Section 1, Line (d), Column 3 on Line (a) of Section 5; the amount from Section 2, Line (d), Column 3 on Line (b), Section 5; the amount from Section 3, Line (c), Column 3 on Line (c), Section 5; and the amount from Section 4, Line (b), Column 3 on Line (d), Section 5. Make entries in each column as indicated on the credit schedule, as applicable. Section 5 Add amounts on Lines (a), (b), (c), and (d) and enter result on both Line (e) and in Part II, Section 1, Line 1. Section 6 This section applies only to non-quantifiable leases of property first placed into service or use or leased prior to March 10, 1990. The qualified investment property may include leased properties for which the cost is not quantifiable at the outset of the lease. In this event, the cost of these properties must be determined annually. It is the amount of royalties or payments actually paid to the owner of the properties during each taxable year for a total period of ten years for realty, or for the primary term of a lease of tangible personal property for at least four years up to ten years, multiplied by the appropriate percentage determined according to the lease term and useful life of tangible personal property. The amount of such cost each year, multiplied by the new jobs percentage, divided by ten, establishes the allowable credit each year for ten successive years, beginning with the year in which the payments were made. The new jobs percentage is determined at the time the leased properties are placed in service or use. Since the annual credit allowance must be computed each year, this section, as well as Part II, Section 2 of this credit computation schedule must be completed and attached to the annual tax return for each taxable year in which the credit is claimed. Make entries in each column in Part I, Section 6 as indicated on the credit schedule, as applicable. Part II - CALCULATION OF CREDITS Section 1-Calculation of Business Investment and Jobs Expansion Tax Credit or Corporate Headquarters Relocation Credit Line 1.

Enter in Column 2 the total dollar amount of the annual payroll of those employees. Line 2. Enter in Column 1 the total number of employees in West Virginia this taxable year. Enter in Column 2 the total dollar amount of the annual payroll of those employees. Line 3. Enter in Column 1 the average number of employees in West Virginia during this taxable year. The average is attained by adding the number of employees in West Virginia at the beginning of the year to the number of employees in West Virginia at the end of the year and dividing the result by 2. Line 4. Enter in Column 1, the number of new jobs in West Virginia, that are or will be directly attributable to the qualified investment in the new or expanded business facility in this State. Line 5. Enter in Column 1 the number of jobs filled both by West Virginia domiciled residents and nonresidents working in West Virginia, created during and subsequent to the new jobs redetermination period, which are directly attributable to qualified investment. Enter in Column 2 the total dollar amount of the payroll, during the taxable year, of these jobs directly attributable to qualified investment. Section 2. Payroll Factor Computation Line 1. Enter the amount of compensation paid to employees hired as a result of the new investment. Line 2. Enter the amount of compensation paid to all West Virginia employees. Line 3. Divide Line 1 by Line 2 and round to six decimals. 9 PART IV - TAX CREDIT COMPUTATION SCHEDULE Taxpayers in the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth tax years subsequent to the year investment was placed in service must use Part IV-B. The credit may be applied to the taxes as listed and must be applied in the order shown. Column 1. Enter your tax liability, if any, for each of the taxes listed, determined before application of any other allowable credits or exemptions. In the case of Business Franchise Tax, the tax liability is the amount remaining after deductions for any Subsidiary Credit, Business and Occupation Tax Credit and Bank Shares Tax Credit available to the taxpayer. If you are claiming the Corporate Headquarters Relocation Credit, the Corporation Net Income Tax liability must be determined separately on allocated income and apportioned income. This is required even if the corporation is taxable only in West Virginia. Apportioned income is income arising from transactions and activity in the regular course of trade or business activity and includes all income unless the income is clearly classifiable as nonbusiness income. Allocated income is nonbusiness income and may include interest and dividend income, certain capital gains income, rents and royalty income, but only to the extent that such income is not earned from business activity. If your computation of qualified investment does not include property or expenses for the relocation of corporate headquarters, enter your total Corporation Net Income Tax liability on Line (e) 1, Column 1, and make no entries on Line (e) 2 and 3. If your computation of qualified investment includes property and expenses for relocating corporate headquarters within West Virginia, enter your Corporation Net Income Tax on apportioned income on Line (e) 2, Column 1 and the tax on allocated income on Line (e) 3, Column 1. Make no entry on Line (e) 1. The total of the separate tax computations should equal the Corporation Net Income Tax liability shown on your annual tax return. Column 3. The payroll factor does not apply to the Corporation Net Income Tax on allocated income. If you have an entry on Line (e) 3, Column 1 enter that amount also on Line (e) 3, Column 3. Multiply the tax liability in Column 1, for each of the taxes by the payroll factor in Column 2 (where applicable), and enter the result in Column 3. This is the amount of tax liability attributable to the qualified investment. The credits may be used to offset eighty percent (80%) of the tax attributable to the qualified investment of the taxes listed. If you have Corporate Headquarters Relocation Credit, then you may offset 100% of tax on allocated income tax in addition to 80% of the other taxes. The credits must be claimed against the taxes in the order shown. Legislation enacted in early 1990 eliminated the application of the Business Investment and Jobs Expansion Credit against the West Virginia Severance Tax. As a result, Line (b) (Severance Tax) should be skipped unless the qualified investment was placed into service or use prior to January 1, 1990 or the taxpayer qualified under one of the transition rules of W. Va. Code § 11-13C-14 and filed Form WV BCS-SEV (Notice of Intent to Claim Credit Against Severance Tax) with the Department on or before July 2, 1990. Column 4. Multiply the amounts in Column 3 by the percentages shown and enter the result in Column 4. Column 5. Enter the amount of your annual credit allowance that you are applying to each of the taxes listed. The annual credit allowance is applied to the first of the listed taxes to which you are subject. If the annual credit allowance is used up, you may then use any rebate credit carried forward from prior years against tax subject to credit. If there is annual credit allowance or rebate credit carried forward from prior years remaining after that application, it is next applied to the second of the listed taxes. Follow this procedure for each of the taxes to which you are subject, carefully monitoring the application to see that the amount of the annual credit allowance used does not exceed the annual credit allowance available and/or rebate credit carried forward from prior years. Add the amounts in Column 5 and enter the result on Line g, Column 5. 10 Column 6. If the annual credit allowance and rebate credit carried forward from prior years is absorbed in the application to the various taxes, you will have no entries for Columns 6 and 7. If the annual allowance is absorbed you will not need to complete Part V, Section 1. If, after application to the various taxes, you have annual credit allowance or rebate credit carried forward from prior years remaining, the unused credit is applied as a rebate of: 80% of ad valorem property taxes on all property attributable to the qualified investment; 80% of unemployment compensation tax attributable to the compensation of new employees, filling the new jobs that are attributable to the qualified investment; and 20% of workers compensation premiums attributable to the compensation paid to new employees, filling the new jobs that are attributable to the qualified investment. The rebate amount, or the remaining credit, whichever is less, may be applied to the remaining 20% of the various taxes attributable to the qualified investment. Subtract the amount in Column 4, if any, for each of the taxes from the amount in Column 3 and enter the result in Column 6. This is the amount of taxes against which the rebate may be applied. Add the amounts in Column 6 and enter the result on Line g, Column 6. Column 7. This Column cannot be completed until Part V is completed. Column 8. Enter the sum of Column 5 and Column 7 for each of the applicable taxes. The Twenty Percent Annual Credit Deferral For tax years ending after May 31, 1993, taxpayers claiming the Business Investment and Jobs Expansion Tax Credit (Super Credit) must now defer 20% of the value of the annual credit applications until the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth tax years subsequent to the year qualified investment is placed into service or use. The amount of credit deferment is determined after the calculations have been made for the Super Credits claimed in step one and step two. Twenty percent of the total of the credit claimed is to be carried forward annually until the eleventh year of the credit. Then, the deferred amount is drawn upon as a credit to be taken against the taxpayer’s liability for business taxes in the same order as mandated for the taking of the Super Credits. The deferred credits may offset up to one hundred percent (100%) of the tax liability directly attributable to the qualified investment and new jobs only in the tenth, eleventh and twelfth subsequent tax years. Those with Severance Tax eligible credits must separate the deferrals of those credits from other credit deferrals. Column 9. Enter 20% of Column 8. This amount is a reduction of the credit actually claimed, not of the credit available. Column 10. Subtract Column 9 from Column 8 and enter the result. Enter the result of Line g, Column 10 on Part VII, Section 1 (d) for the applicable year. The Additional Allowance for Minimum Coal Severance Taxpayers (“Free-Up" Credit) - W.Va. Code § 11-13C-5 (p) Beginning June 1, 1993, the minimum coal severance tax rate increases from 50 cents per ton to 75 cents per ton. To lessen the impact on taxpayers affected by the increased minimum tax on coal, these taxpayers may possibly be able to free-up a portion of the credit previously calculated. The value of this free-up credit is equal to the lesser of (a) one-third of the taxpayer’s minimum severance tax on coal (i.e. the minimum tax imposed at a rate of 75 cents) or (b) the amount of the taxpayer’s net minimum severance tax on coal. The net minimum severance tax on coal is the amount of the State severance tax on coal severed and extracted by the taxpayer after application of available Super Credits and the annual $500 exemption. Free-up credit may be used against Business Franchise Tax, Corporation Net Income Tax and Personal Income Tax. Column 11. Subtract Column 10 from Column 3. This free-up credit may be used against Business Franchise Tax, Corporation Net Income Tax, and Personal Income Tax. Column 12. Enter the amount from Part VI, Line 9 applicable to Business Franchise Tax, Corporation Net Income Tax and Personal Income Tax liabilities. 11 Column 13. Enter the sum of the entries in Column 10 and Column 12 for each of the listed taxes in the amount to be claimed as credit on the appropriate annual returns filed. PART IV - B - TAX CREDIT COMPUTATION SCHEDULE FOR 11TH THROUGH 13TH TAX YEARS The credit may be applied to the taxes as listed and must be applied in the order shown. Line 1. Enter your tax liability, if any, for each of the taxes listed, determined before application of any other allowable credits or exemptions. In the case of Business Franchise Tax, the tax liability is the amount remaining after deductions for any Subsidiary Credit, Business and Occupation Tax Credit and Bank Shares Tax Credit available to the taxpayer. If you are claiming the Corporate Headquarters Relocation Credit, the Corporation Net Income Tax liability must be determined separately on allocated income and apportioned income. This is required even if the corporation is taxable only in West Virginia. Apportioned income is income arising from transactions and activity in the regular course of trade or business activity and includes all income unless the income is clearly classifiable as nonbusiness income. Allocated income is nonbusiness income and may include interest and dividend income, certain capital gains income, rents and royalty income, but only to the extent that such income is not earned from business activity. If your computation of qualified investment does not include property or expenses for the relocation of corporate headquarters, enter your total Corporation Net Income Tax liability in Column (e) 1, Line 1, and make no entries in Columns (e) 2 and 3. If your computation of qualified investment includes property and expenses for relocating corporate headquarters within West Virginia, enter your Corporation Net Income Tax on apportioned income in Column (e) 2, Line 1 and the tax on allocated income in Column (e) 3, Line 1. Make no entry in Column (e) 1. The total of the separate tax computations should equal the Corporation Net Income Tax liability shown on your annual tax return. Line 3. The payroll factor does not apply to the Corporation Net Income Tax on allocated income. If you have an entry in Column (e) 3, Line 1 enter that amount also in Column (e) 3, Line 3. Multiply the tax liability on Line 1, for each of the taxes by the payroll factor on Line 2 (where applicable), and enter the result on Line 3. This is the amount of tax liability attributable to the qualified investment. The credits may be used to offset eighty percent (80%) of the tax attributable to the qualified investment of the taxes listed. If you have Corporate Headquarters Relocation Credit, then you may offset 100% of tax on allocated income tax in addition to 80% of the other taxes. The credits must be claimed against the taxes in the order shown. Legislation enacted in early 1990 eliminated the application of the Business Investment and Jobs Expansion Credit against the West Virginia Severance Tax. As a result, Column (b) (Severance Tax) should be skipped unless the qualified investment was placed into service or use prior to January 1, 1990 or the taxpayer qualified under one of the transition rules of W. Va. Code § 11-13C-14 and filed Form WV BCS-SEV (Notice of Intent to Claim Credit Against Severance Tax) with the Department on or before July 2, 1990. Line 4. Multiply the amounts on Line 3 by the percentages shown on the Offset Factor line and enter the result on Line 4. Line 5. Enter the amount of your annual credit allowance that you are applying to each of the taxes listed. The annual credit allowance is applied to the first of the listed taxes to which you are subject. If the annual credit allowance is used up, you may then use any rebate credit carried forward from prior years against tax subject to credit. If there is annual credit allowance or rebate credit carried forward from prior years remaining after that application, it is next applied to the second of the listed taxes. Follow this procedure for each of the taxes to which you are subject, carefully monitoring the application to see that the amount of the annual credit allowance used does not exceed the annual credit allowance available and/or rebate credit carried forward from prior years. Add the amounts on Line 5 and enter the result in Column g, Line 5. 12 Line 6. If the annual credit allowance and rebate credit carried forward from prior years is absorbed in the application to the various taxes, you will have no entries for Lines 6 and 7. If the annual allowance is absorbed you will not need to complete Part V, Section 1. If, after application to the various taxes, you have annual credit allowance or rebate credit carried forward from prior years remaining, the unused credit is applied as a rebate of: 80% of ad valorem property taxes on all property attributable to the qualified investment; 80% of unemployment compensation tax attributable to the compensation of new employees, filling the new jobs that are attributable to the qualified investment; and 20% of workers compensation premiums attributable to the compensation paid to new employees, filling the new jobs that are attributable to the qualified investment. The rebate amount, or the remaining credit, whichever is less, may be applied to the remaining 20% of the various taxes attributable to the qualified investment. Subtract the amount on Line 4, if any, for each of the taxes from the amount on Line 3 and enter the result on Line 6. This is the amount of taxes against which the rebate may be applied. Add the amounts on Line 6 and enter the result in Column g, Line 6. Line 7. This Line cannot be completed until Part V is completed. Line 8. Enter the sum of Line 5 and Line 7 for each of the applicable taxes. The Twenty Percent Annual Credit Deferral For tax years ending after May 31, 1993, taxpayers claiming the Business Investment and Jobs Expansion Tax Credit (Super Credit) must now defer 20% of the value of the annual credit applications until the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth tax years subsequent to the year qualified investment is placed into service or use. The amount of credit deferment is determined after the calculations have been made for the Super Credits claimed in step one and step two. Twenty percent of the total of the credit claimed is to be carried forward annually until the eleventh year of the credit. Then, the deferred amount is drawn upon as a credit to be taken against the taxpayer’s liability for business taxes in the same order as mandated for the taking of the Super Credits. The deferred credits may offset up to one hundred percent (100%) of the tax liability directly attributable to the qualified investment and new jobs only in the tenth, eleventh and twelfth subsequent tax years. Those with Severance Tax eligible credits must separate the deferrals of those credits from other credit deferrals. Line 9. Enter 20% of Line 8. This amount is a reduction of the credit actually claimed, not of the credit available. Line 10. Subtract Line 9 from Line 8 and enter the result. Enter the result of Column g, Line 10 on Part VII, Section 1 (d) for the applicable year. The Additional Allowance for Minimum Coal Severance Taxpayers (“Free-Up" Credit) - W.Va. Code § 11-13C-5 (p) Beginning June 1, 1993, the minimum coal severance tax rate increases from 50 cents per ton to 75 cents per ton.

The net minimum severance tax on coal is the amount of the State severance tax on coal severed and extracted by the taxpayer after application of available Super Credits and the annual $500 exemption. Free-up credit may be used against Business Franchise Tax, Corporation Net Income Tax and Personal Income Tax. Line 11. Subtract Line 10 from Line 3.

Form BCS1 is a West Virginia 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.
