HB 540

Abstract

Amends the Illinois Income Tax Act. Provides that, beginning with taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2005, each taxpayer is entitled to an income tax credit in the amount of fees paid in the taxable year by the taxpayer to a recycler for the acceptance of any electronic equipment surrendered by the taxpayer. Provides that the tax credit may not reduce the taxpayer's liability to less than zero and may not be carried forward or back to apply to any other taxable year. Exempts the credit from the sunset provisions of the Act. Effective July 1, 2005.
