In order to provide a method of financing project costs other than by the issuance of project obligations payable from the amounts required to be paid by an approved company under a financing agreement, the authority may establish one or more tax increment funds with respect to a project, into which the authority and an approved company may agree that the approved company will deposit either or both of the following: (i) an annual amount equal to the amount of corporate income tax levied by Section 40-18-31 that otherwise would be owed by the approved company on its income generated by or arising from such project, and (ii) the aggregate job development fees withheld by the approved company as provided in Section 41-10-44.7. The authority may also arrange for any gifts, grants, loans, appropriations, or other forms of aid from the federal or state governments or from any other public or private entity to be paid into a tax increment fund. As provided in Section 41-10-44.5, the authority may issue and sell project obligations payable solely or in part from the monies in any such tax increment fund and may use the proceeds of any such project obligations for the payment of project costs. If determined to be necessary or desirable, the authority and an approved company may specify a minimum annual amount to be paid into a tax increment fund with respect to corporate income taxes and job development fees. Any tax increment fund established pursuant to this section shall be held by the authority or by a trustee designated by the authority as a trust fund for the benefit of the owners of the authority’s project obligations, all upon such terms as the board of directors may establish by resolution.
Any payments into a tax increment fund made by an approved company with respect to corporate income taxes as provided in (i) above, shall be permitted as a credit against the corporate income tax levied by Section 40-18-31 that would otherwise be owed to the state in any year by such approved company on its income generated by or arising from the project, such credit not to exceed the lesser of the amount due in tax, or the amount (exclusive of job development fees) paid into the tax increment fund.
