Sec. 18. (a) The corporation shall determine the amount and duration of a tax credit awarded under this chapter. The duration of the credit may not exceed twenty (20) taxable years. The credit may be stated as a percentage of the incremental income tax withholdings attributable to the applicant’s project and may include a fixed dollar limitation. In the case of a credit awarded for a project to create new jobs in Indiana, the credit amount may not exceed the incremental income tax withholdings. However, the credit amount claimed for a taxable year may exceed the taxpayer‘s state tax liability for the taxable year, in which case the excess may, at the discretion of the corporation, be refunded to the taxpayer.
