Iowa Admin. Code r. 701—304.25(422) — Soy-based cutting tool oil tax credit

Effective for tax periods ending after June 30, 2005, and beginning before January 1, 2007, a manufacturer may claim a soy-based cutting tool oil tax credit. A manufacturer, as defined in Iowa Code section 428.20, may claim the credit equal to the costs incurred during the tax year for the purchase and replacement costs relating to the transition from using nonsoy-based cutting tool oil to using soy-based cutting tool oil. All of the following conditions must be met to qualify for the tax credit: 1. The costs must be incurred after June 30, 2005, and before January 1, 2007. 2. The costs must be incurred in the first 12 months of the transition from using nonsoy-based cutting tool oil to using soy-based cutting tool oil. 3. The soy-based cutting tool oil must contain at least 51 percent soy-based products. 4. The costs of the purchase and replacement must not exceed $2 per gallon of soy-based cutting tool oil used in the transition. 5. The number of gallons used in the transition cannot exceed 2,000 gallons. 6. The manufacturer shall not deduct for Iowa income tax purposes the costs incurred in the transition to using soy-based cutting tool oil which are deductible for federal tax purposes. Any credit in excess of the taxpayer’s tax liability is refundable. In lieu of claiming the refund, the taxpayer may elect to have the overpayment credited to the tax liability for the following tax year. Revenue If a taxpayer is a partnership, limited liability company, S corporation, or an estate or trust electing to have the income taxed directly to an individual, an individual may claim the credit. The amount claimed by an individual must be based on the individual’s pro rata share of the individual’s earnings of the partnership, limited liability company, S corporation, or estate or trust.
