(1) Electing small business corporations, as defined in subsection (e) of this section, limited liability companies, and partnerships shall allocate the tax credit allowed by this article among their members in the same manner as profits and losses are allocated for the taxable year.
(2) No tax credit is allowed under this article against any withholding tax imposed by, or payable under, article twenty-one of this chapter.
(f) If the eligible taxpayer is a limited liability company, an electing small business corporation, as identified in subsection (e) of this section, or a partnership, any unused tax credit remaining after application of subsections (c), (d) and (e) of this section is allowed as a tax credit against the taxes imposed by article twenty-one of this chapter on owners of the eligible taxpayer.

(2) The expiration of the fourth taxable year after the taxable year in which the investment was made. The tax credit remaining thereafter is forfeited.
NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to create a tax credit for businesses to cover up to 50 percent of the costs of the purchase of products that are produced or manufactured in West Virginia.
