(2) Credit. An insurer that makes a certified capital investment may credit against the fees due under s. 76.60, 76.63, 76.65, 76.66 or 76.67, for 10 years beginning with the year of the investment, either 10 percent of that investment or the amount by which the sum of the insurer's certified capital investments and the insurer's qualified investments exceeds the insurer's qualified investments in the taxable year before the insurer first claimed the credit under this section, whichever is less.

(3) Carry-forward. If the credit under sub. (2) is not entirely offset against the fees under s. 76.60, 76.63, 76.65, 76.66 or 76.67 otherwise due, the unused balance may be carried forward and credited against those fees in the following years to the extent that it is not offset by those fees otherwise due in all the years between the year in which the investment was made and the year in which the carry-forward credit is claimed.

(4) Recapture. (a) If a certified capital company is decertified, or an investment pool is disqualified, under s. 560.37, 2005 stats., before the certified capital company fulfills the investment requirement under s. 560.34(1m)(a)1., 2005 stats., with respect to the investment pool, any insurer that has received a credit under this section with respect to that investment pool shall repay that credit to the commissioner of insurance, for deposit in the general fund, and may not claim more credit in respect to that investment pool.

(b) If a certified capital company fulfills the investment requirement under s. 560.34(1m)(a)1., 2005 stats., with respect to an investment pool but the certified capital company is decertified, or an investment pool is disqualified, under s. 560.37, 2005 stats., before the certified capital company fulfills the investment requirement under s. 560.34(1m)(a)2., 2005 stats., for that investment pool, any insurer that has received a credit under this section with respect to that investment pool shall repay all credits that were claimed for taxable years after the taxable year that includes the 3rd anniversary of the investment date of the investment pool and may claim no more credits for taxable years after the taxable year that includes the 3rd anniversary of the investment date of the investment pool.

(5) Sale of credit. An insurer may sell a credit under this section to another insurer that is subject to taxation under this subchapter if the insurer notifies the commissioner of insurance of the sale and includes with that notification a copy of the transfer documents.

(6) Nullification of credit precluded. This state may not impose a new tax or change an existing tax in order to nullify the credit created under this section.
