SB 481 - Under current law, residential treatment agencies are prohibited from applying for residential treatment agency tax credits in an amount greater than forty percent of the payments received by the agency from the Department of Social Services. This act would allow residential treatment agencies to apply for such tax credits in an amount which does not exceed the amount of payments received by the agency from the Department of Social Services. The act also extends the sunset on the residential treatment agency tax credit from August 28, 2012, to August 28, 2015. The act creates an income tax credit equal to fifty percent of the amount of an eligible donation made, on or after January 1, 2012, to a qualifying developmental disability care provider. The tax credit may not be applied against withholding taxes. The tax credit is non-refundable, but may be carried forward four years. The tax credit is transferable. A provider may apply to the Department of Social Services for the tax credits. The provisions of this act shall automatically sunset six years after August 28, 2012 unless reauthorized. This act is similar to a provision contained in HB 1172 (2012), SCS/HCS/HBs 1278 & 1152 (2012), SS/SCS/HCS/HB 1865 (2012), SCS/SB 548 (2012), SB 766 (2012), the perfected version of SB 100 (2011), SB 608 (2010) and contains provisions similar to those in SB 71 (2009) and SB 1274 (2008).
