Beginning with tax years ending on or after June 30, 1995, each taxpayer who is primarily engaged in manufacturing is entitled to a credit against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 in an amount equal to 5% of the amount of expenditures by the taxpayer in the tax year for which the credit is claimed, reported pursuant to Section 129(d)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code, to provide in the Illinois premises of the taxpayer's workplace an on-site facility dependent care assistance program under Section 129 of the Internal Revenue Code.

# (b)

If the amount of credit exceeds the tax liability for the year, the excess may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of the 2 taxable years following the excess credit year. The credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which there is a tax liability. If there are credits from more than one tax year that are available to offset a liability, the earlier credit shall be applied first.

A taxpayer claiming the credit provided by this Section shall maintain and record such information as the Department may require by regulation regarding the dependent care assistance program for which credit is claimed. When claiming the credit provided by this Section, the taxpayer shall provide such information regarding the taxpayer's provision of a dependent care assistance program under Section 129 of the Internal Revenue Code.
