Determination of amount of credit
Sec. 5. (a) Subject to subsection (b), the amount of the credit that
a taxpayer is entitled to under section 4 of this chapter for a
particular calendar year is equal to the lesser of:
(1) twenty-five percent (25%) of the qualified expenditures
made by the taxpayer in the calendar year immediately
preceding the calendar year in which the tax liability is
imposed; or
(2) the taxpayer's total tax liability for the calendar year.
(b) The total amount of credits provided under this chapter in a
calendar year may not exceed two million eight hundred thousand
dollars ($2,800,000). If the total amount of credits applied for in a
calendar year exceeds the maximum provided under this subsection,
each taxpayer's credit shall be reduced by an amount determined
under the following STEPS:
STEP ONE: Divide the maximum amount of credits provided
by this chapter for the year by the total amount of credits
applied for under this chapter for the year.
STEP TWO: Multiply the STEP ONE result by the total amount
of credits applied for by the taxpayer for the year.
