(1) A business tax credit against the taxes otherwise due under ORS chapter 316 (or, if the taxpayer is a corporation, under ORS chapter 317 or 318) shall be allowed to an eligible taxpayer who sponsors eligible students who began participation in the youth apprenticeship program established under ORS 344.745 and 344.750 prior to November 4, 1993. The amount of the credit shall be the wages paid to participating students by the sponsoring employer taxpayer during the tax year, excluding wages paid after the first year of participation, and in an amount not to exceed $2,500 in any one tax year.
(2)(a) A nonresident employer shall be allowed the credit provided under this section computed in the same manner and subject to the same limitations as the credit allowed to a resident of this state. However, the credit shall be prorated using the proportion provided in ORS 316.117.
(b) If a change in the taxable year of a taxpayer occurs as described in ORS 314.085, or if the Department of Revenue terminates the taxpayer’s taxable year under ORS 314.440, the credit allowed by this section shall be prorated or computed in a manner consistent with ORS 314.085.
(c) If a change in the status of a taxpayer from resident to nonresident or from nonresident to resident occurs, the credit allowed by this section shall be determined in a manner consistent with ORS 316.117.
(3) Any tax credit otherwise allowable under this section which is not used by the taxpayer in a particular year may be carried forward and offset against the taxpayer’s tax liability for the next succeeding tax year. Any credit remaining unused in such next succeeding tax year may be carried forward and used in the second succeeding tax year, but may not be carried forward for any tax year thereafter.
(4)(a) The credit allowed under this section is in addition to any deduction otherwise allowable under ORS chapter 316, 317 or 318.
(b) No other credit allowed under this chapter or ORS chapter 316, 317 or 318 shall be based upon all or any portion of amounts upon which the credit allowed under this section is based. [1993 c.730 §28 (enacted in lieu of 316.151, 317.141 and 318.085)]
