Item 1

 
C. Corporations required to file an income tax return under
this Part, excluding financial institutions subject to the tax
imposed by chapter 819 and persons not subject to the federal
alternative minimum tax under the Code, section 55(e).

 
3.__Credit for tax paid to other taxing jurisdiction.__A
resident individual, estate or trust is allowed a credit against
the tax otherwise due under this section for the amount of
alternative minimum tax imposed on that individual, estate or
trust for the taxable year by another state of the United States,
a political subdivision of any such state, the District of
Columbia or any political subdivision of a foreign country that
is analogous to a state of the United States with respect to
income derived from sources in that taxing jurisdiction also
subject to tax under this section.__The credit for any of the
specified taxing jurisdictions may not exceed the proportion of
the tax otherwise due under this section that the amount of the
taxpayer's alternative minimum taxable income derived from
sources in that taxing jurisdiction bears to the taxpayer's
entire alternative minimum taxable income. When a credit is
claimed for alternative minimum taxes paid to both a state and a
political subdivision of that state, the total credit allowable
for those taxes in the aggregate may not exceed the proportion of
the tax otherwise due under this section that the amount of the
taxpayer's alternative minimum taxable income derived from
sources in the other state bears to the taxpayer's entire
alternative minimum taxable income.

 
4.__Minimum tax credit. A minimum tax credit is allowed as
follows.

 
A.__A minimum tax credit is allowed against the liability
arising under this Part for any taxable year, other than
withholding tax liability.__The minimum tax credit equals
the excess, if any, of the alternative minimum tax, reduced
by the credit paid to other jurisdictions determined under
subsection 3, that was imposed for all prior taxable years
beginning after 2003 over the amount allowable as a credit
under this subsection for such prior taxable years, plus
unused minimum tax credits from years beginning after 1990.

 
B.__The credit allowable for a taxable year under this
subsection is limited to the amount, if any, by which the
regular income tax after application of all other credits
arising under this Part exceeds the tentative minimum tax.

 
Sec. JJ-4. 36 MRSA §5217-A, as amended by PL 2003, c. 391, §9, is
further amended to read:
