(2) An approved company shall determine the income tax credit as provided in this section.
(3) An approved company which is an individual sole proprietorship subject to tax under KRS § 141.020 or a corporation or pass-through entity treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes subject to tax under KRS § 141.040 shall:
(a) 1. Compute the tax due at the applicable tax rates as provided by KRS

2. Compute the limited liability entity tax imposed under KRS § 141.0401 including Kentucky gross profits or Kentucky gross receipts from the reinvestment project or economic development project; and
3. Add the amounts computed under subparagraphs 1. and 2. of this paragraph and, if applicable, subtract the credit permitted by KRS

(b) 1. Compute the tax due at the applicable tax rates as provided by KRS
141.020 or 141.040 on net income or taxable net income, excluding net income attributable to a reinvestment project or economic development project;
2. Using the same method used under paragraph (a)2. of this subsection, compute the limited liability entity tax imposed under KRS § 141.0401, including Kentucky gross profits or Kentucky gross receipts from the reinvestment project or economic development project; and
3. Add the amounts computed under subparagraphs 1. and 2. of this paragraph and, if applicable, subtract the credit permitted by KRS

(c) The tax credit shall be the amount by which the tax computed under paragraph (a)3. of this subsection exceeds the tax computed under paragraph (b)3. of this subsection; however, the credit shall not exceed the limits set forth in KRS

(4) (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, an approved company which is a pass-through entity not subject to the tax imposed by KRS § 141.040 or trust not subject to the tax imposed by KRS § 141.040 shall be subject to income tax on the net income attributable to a reinvestment project or economic development project at the rates provided in KRS § 141.020.
(b) The amount of the tax credit shall be determined as provided in subsection (3) of this section. Upon the annual election of the approved company, in lieu of the tax credit, an amount shall be applied as an estimated tax payment equal to the tax computed in this section. Any estimated tax payment made pursuant to this paragraph shall be in satisfaction of the tax liability of the partners, members, shareholders, or beneficiaries of the pass-through entity or trust, and shall be paid on behalf of the partners, members, shareholders, or beneficiaries.

KRS § 154.32-070 or 154.34-120, as the case may be.

141.160 for filing the returns.

(5) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, the net income subject to tax, the tax credit, and the estimated tax payment determined under subsection (4) of this section shall be excluded in determining each partner’s, member’s, shareholder’s, or beneficiary’s distributive share of net income or credit of a pass- through entity or trust.
(6) If the reinvestment project or economic development project is a totally separate facility:
(a) Net income attributable to the project for the purposes of subsections (3), (4), and (5) of this section shall be determined under the separate accounting method reflecting only the gross income, deductions, expenses, gains, and losses allowed under KRS Chapter 141 directly attributable to the facility and overhead expenses apportioned to the facility; and
(b) Kentucky gross receipts or Kentucky gross profits attributable to the project for the purposes of subsection (3) of this section shall be determined under the separate accounting method reflecting only the Kentucky gross receipts or Kentucky gross profits directly attributable to the facility.
(7) If the reinvestment project or economic development project is an expansion to a previously existing facility:
(a) Net income attributable to the entire facility shall be determined under the separate accounting method reflecting only the gross income, deductions, expenses, gains, and losses allowed under KRS Chapter 141 directly
attributable to the facility and overhead expenses apportioned to the facility, and the net income attributable to the reinvestment project or economic development project for the purposes of subsections (3), (4), and (5) of this section shall be determined by apportioning the separate accounting net income of the entire facility to the reinvestment project or economic development project by a formula approved by the department; and
(b) Kentucky gross receipts or Kentucky gross profits attributable to the entire facility shall be determined under the separate accounting method reflecting only the Kentucky gross receipts or Kentucky gross profits directly attributable to the facility, and Kentucky gross receipts or Kentucky gross profits attributable to the reinvestment project or economic development project for the purposes of subsection (3) of this section shall be determined by apportioning the separate accounting Kentucky gross receipts or Kentucky gross profits of the entire facility to the reinvestment project or economic development project by a formula approved by the department.
(8) If an approved company can show to the satisfaction of the department that the nature of the operations and activities of the approved company are such that it is not practical to use the separate accounting method to determine the net income, Kentucky gross receipts, or Kentucky gross profits from the facility at which the reinvestment project or economic development project is located, the approved company shall determine net income, Kentucky gross receipts, or Kentucky gross profits from the reinvestment project or economic development project using an alternative method approved by the department.
(9) The department may promulgate administrative regulations and require the filing of forms designed by the department to reflect the intent of KRS § 154.34-010 to
154.34-100 and Subchapter 32 of KRS Chapter 154, and the allowable income tax credit which an approved company may retain under KRS § 154.34-010 to KRS § 154.34-
100 or Subchapter 32 of KRS Chapter 154.
