(1) Subject to subsection (2) of this section, the amount of the credit that a taxpayer may receive under the Venture Capital Act of 1994 for a particular taxable year is equal to the lesser of:
(a) The taxpayer's state tax liability for the taxable year; or
(b) The amount determined in Step Three of the following steps:
Step One: Add the consideration paid for all qualified investments of the taxpayer during the taxable year of the taxpayer.
Step Two: Multiply the amount determined in Step One by three-tenths ( 3/10 ).
Step Three: Add the product determined in Step Two to the credit carry-over, if any, to which the taxpayer is entitled for the taxable year under subsection (2) of this section.
(2) If the amount of the credit determined under subsection (1)(b) of this section exceeds the credit allowed under subsection (1)(a) of this section for that taxable year, then the taxpayer may carry the excess over to the immediately succeeding taxable years; however, the credit carry-over may not be used for any taxable year that begins on or after ten (10) years from the date of the qualified investment. The amount of the credit carry-over from a taxable year must be reduced to the extent that the carry-over is used by the taxpayer to obtain a credit under the Venture Capital Act of 1994 for any subsequent taxable year.
(3) If a qualified investment which is the basis for a credit under the Venture Capital Act of 1994 is either redeemed by the Magnolia Venture Capital Fund Limited Partnership or Magnolia Venture Capital Corporation or transferred by the holder thereof (other than a redemption or transfer caused by the death of such holder) within five (5) years after the date it is purchased, such credit for the qualified investment shall be disallowed; and any credit previously claimed on the taxpayer's return and allowed as a credit against state tax liability with respect to the qualified investment so redeemed or transferred shall be recaptured in full as additional tax liability on the appropriate state tax return of the taxpayer covering the period in which the redemption or transfer occurs. Neither a distribution by the fund nor dividends or other distributions by Magnolia Venture Capital Corporation are considered to be redemption of a qualified investment unless the proportionate interest of the taxpayer receiving the distribution or dividend in either the assets or income and loss of Magnolia Venture Capital Fund Limited Partnership decreases as the result of the distribution or dividend.
(4) For purposes of this section the terms “state tax liability,” “taxpayer” and “qualified investment” shall have the meaning ascribed to them in Section 57-77-3.
