NRS231A.200. Vested right to credit against insurance premium tax liability: Use of credit; maximum yearly amount of credit; amount of credit that may carry forward to subsequent year.

  An entity that makes a qualified equity investment earns a vested right to credit against the entity’s liability for insurance premium tax on a premium tax report filed pursuant to NRS 680B.030 that may be used as follows:

      1.  On each credit allowance date of the qualified equity investment, the entity, or the subsequent holder of the qualified equity investment, is entitled to use a portion of the credit during the taxable year that includes the credit allowance date.

      2.  The credit amount is equal to the applicable percentage for the credit allowance date multiplied by the purchase price paid to the issuer of the qualified equity investment.

      3.  Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, the amount of the credit claimed by an entity must not exceed the amount of the entity’s liability for insurance premium tax for the tax year for which the credit is claimed.

      4.  If the insurance premium tax is eliminated or reduced below the level that was in effect on the first credit allowance date, the entity is entitled to a credit against any other taxes paid to the Department of Taxation in an amount equal to the difference between the amount the entity would have been able to claim against its insurance premium tax liability had the tax not been eliminated or reduced and the amount the entity was actually able to claim, if any.

Ê Any amount of tax credit that the entity is prohibited from claiming in a taxable year as a result of subsection 3 or 4 may be carried forward for use in any subsequent taxable year.
