This recomputed tax shall be subtracted from the amount of tax computed under this subchapter after the deduction for credits allowed under section 422.12 . The resulting amount, which shall not exceed the taxpayer ’s pro rata share of the franchise tax paid by the financial institution, is the amount of the franchise tax credit allowed. 2.
