Ohio § 5747.28

§ 5747.28.

(A) As used in this section: (1) “ Qualifying property ” means any property, plant, or equipment used to produce grapes in this state, and

includes but is not limited to land and improvements to land, grape seeds and vines,

stakes, wiring, tractors, and other machinery used in the growth, harvesting, or producing

of grapes. (2) “Related member” has the same meaning as in division (A)(6) of section 5733.042 of the Revised Code , without regard to division (B) of that section. (B) A nonrefundable credit is allowed against a taxpayer's aggregate tax liability under section 5747.02 of the Revised Code for a taxpayer engaged in the business of producing grapes who purchases qualifying

property on or after January 1, 1994.  The amount of the credit equals ten per cent of the cost of purchasing and installing

or constructing the qualifying property.  The taxpayer shall claim the credit in the taxable year in which the qualifying

property is placed in operation.  The taxpayer shall claim the credit in the order required under section 5747.98 of the Revised Code .  The taxpayer may carry forward for the ensuing seven taxable years any credit amount

in excess of its aggregate tax due under section 5747.02 of the Revised Code in the taxable year in which the qualifying property is placed in operation after

allowing for any other credits that precede the credit under this section in that

order, and shall deduct the amount of the excess credit allowed in any such year from

the balance carried forward to the next year.  However, if the taxpayer is subject to a recapture tax under division (C)(1) of

this section because the taxpayer disposes of the qualifying property or ceases to

use it as qualifying property during the seven-year recapture period prescribed under

that division, the taxpayer may claim no credit in connection with that property in

the taxable year of disposal or cessation or any ensuing taxable year. (C)(1) If, within the seven-year period after qualifying property is placed in operation,

the taxpayer disposes of the property or ceases to use it as qualifying property,

the amount of tax otherwise imposed on the taxpayer by section 5747.02 of the Revised Code shall be increased in the taxable year in which the property is disposed of or ceases

to be used as qualifying property.  The amount of the increase shall equal the recapture percentage multiplied by the

aggregate credit the taxpayer has been allowed under this section in all prior taxable

years in connection with that property.  The recapture percentage shall be determined in accordance with the following table: If the property is disposed of or ceases to be used as qualifying property within this amount of time The recapture after being placed in operation: percentage is: One year 100% Two years 86% Three years 72% Four years 58% Five years 44% Six years 30% Seven years 15% (2) Division (C)(1) of this section does not apply in any of the following circumstances: (a) The qualifying property is transferred to a related member and the related member

continues to use the property to produce grapes in this state; (b) The qualifying property is transferred to a family member and the family member continues

to use the property to produce grapes in this state; (c) There is an involuntary disposition of the qualifying property.  The involuntary disposition may be due to, without limitation, a bankruptcy, a receivership,

or destruction by natural forces. (D) The tax commissioner, by rule, may prescribe guidelines for taxpayers to use in determining

if their property is qualifying property for the purposes of this section.
