Sunset dates for S&U economic incentive refunds indicate the initial date for which purchases are deemed ineligible for refund.
The estimates of credits taken do not include the effect of G.S. 105-130.5(a)(10). This provision effectively increases the income tax liability of corporations by the amount of credit multiplied by the tax rate (6.9%).
