Section 48-7-40.23. Election to count new jobs on calendar year basis

   Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary of Code Sections 48-7-40 and 48-7-40.1, business enterprises may apply to the commissioner to make a one-time election to calculate new full-time jobs on a calendar year rather than a taxable year basis for all jobs created during calendar year 2001. Such one-time election may be made by claiming job tax credits calculated on the basis set forth in Code Sections 48-7-40 and 48-7-40.1 in connection with any 2002 state income tax return filed after the effective date of this Code section. Such election will not change the taxable year of the business enterprise.
