A. A credit is allowed against the taxes imposed by this title for expenses that the taxpayer incurred during the taxable year to purchase real or personal property that is used in the taxpayer's trade or business in this state to control or prevent pollution. The amount of the credit is equal to ten percent of the purchase price.

B. Property that qualifies for the credit under this section includes that portion of a structure, building, installation, excavation, machine, equipment or device and any attachment or addition to or reconstruction, replacement or improvement of that property that is directly used, constructed or installed in this state for the purpose of meeting or exceeding rules or regulations adopted by the United States environmental protection agency, the department of environmental quality or a political subdivision of this state to prevent, monitor, control or reduce air, water or land pollution that results from the taxpayer's direct operating activities in conducting a trade or business in this state.

C. The credit allowed pursuant to this section does not apply to:

1. The purchase of any personal property that is attached to a motor vehicle.

2. Any property that has a substantial use for a purpose other than the purposes described in subsection B.

3. Any portion of pollution control property that is included as a standard and integral part of another property.

D. Amounts that qualify for a credit under this section must be includible in the taxpayer's adjusted basis for the property. The adjusted basis of any property with respect to which the taxpayer has claimed a credit shall be reduced by the amount of credit claimed with respect to that asset. This credit does not affect the deductibility for depreciation or amortization of the remaining adjusted basis of the asset.

E. Co-owners of a business, including corporate partners in a partnership, may each claim only the pro rata share of the credit allowed under this section based on the ownership interest. Partners in a partnership that is not a corporation may not claim a share of the credit. The total of the credits allowed all such owners may not exceed the amount that would have been allowed a sole owner.

F. If the allowable tax credit exceeds the taxes otherwise due under this title on the claimant's income, or if there are no taxes due under this title, the taxpayer may carry the amount of the claim not used to offset the taxes under this title forward for not more than five taxable years' income tax liability.

G. The maximum credit that a taxpayer may claim under this section is $500,000 in a taxable year.
