Credit against tax for making certain property accessible to persons with a disability; amount; carryover

For all taxable years commencing after December 31, 1997, any taxpayer who makes expenditures for the purpose of making all or any portion of an existing building or facility accessible to persons with a disability, which building or facility is on real property located in this state and used in a trade or business or held for the production of income, shall be entitled to claim a tax credit in an amount equal to 50% of such expenditures or, the amount of $10,000, whichever is less, against the premium tax or privilege fees imposed pursuant to K.S.A. 40-252, and amendments thereto. Such tax credit shall be deducted from the taxpayer's tax liability for the taxable year following the year in which the expenditures are made by the taxpayer. If the amount of such tax credit exceeds the taxpayer's tax liability for such taxable year, the amount thereof which exceeds such tax liability may be carried over for deduction from the taxpayer's tax liability in the next succeeding taxable year or years until the total amount of the tax credit has been deducted from tax liability, except that no such tax credit shall be carried over for deduction after the fourth taxable year succeeding the taxable year in which the expenditures are made. Terms used in this section shall have the same meanings as ascribed thereto in K.S.A. 79-32,175, and amendments thereto.
