Vested premium tax credit - Generally.

(a) A certified investor who makes an investment of certified capital shall in the year of investment earn a vested credit against state premium tax liability equal to 100 percent of the certified investor's investment of certified capital, subject to the limits imposed by this chapter. A certified investor may take up to 12.5 percent of the vested premium tax credit in any taxable year of the certified investor, beginning in the second calendar year after the investment.

(b) The credit to be applied against state premium tax liability in any one year may not exceed the state premium tax liability of the certified investor for the taxable year. Any unused credit against state premium tax liability may be carried forward indefinitely until the premium tax credits are used.

(c) A certified investor claiming a credit against state premium tax liability earned through an investment in a company is not required to pay any additional retaliatory tax levied by law as a result of claiming that credit. An investment made under this chapter is an "Alabama investment" for purposes of this chapter.
