(c) Subject to subsection (d), a licensed owner or operating agent
may at any time during a state fiscal year deduct from the adjusted
gross receipts reported by the licensed owner or operating agent
adjusted gross receipts attributable to qualified wagering. A licensed
owner or operating agent must take a deduction under this section on
a form and in the manner prescribed by the department.

may not deduct more than the following amounts in a particular state
fiscal year with respect to the qualified wagering conducted at a
particular riverboat:

state fiscal year ending before July 1, 2013.
