Child care tax credits.

Beginning January 1, 2024, there is allowed a credit pursuant to s. 402.261 against any tax imposed by the state due under s. 211.02 or s. 211.025. However, the combined credit allowed under this section and ss. 211.0251, 211.0252, and 211.0253 may not exceed 50 percent of the tax due on the return on which the credit is taken. If the combined credit allowed under the foregoing sections exceeds 50 percent of the tax due on the return, the credit must first be taken under s. 211.0251, then under s. 211.0253, then under s. 211.0252. Any remaining liability must be taken under this section but may not exceed 50 percent of the tax due. For purposes of the distributions of tax revenue under s. 211.06, the department shall disregard any tax credits allowed under this section to ensure that any reduction in tax revenue received which is attributable to the tax credits results only in a reduction in distributions to the General Revenue Fund. The provisions of s. 402.261 apply to the credit authorized by this section.
