11

otherwise distinctly expressed or manifestly incompatible with

12

the intent thereof, the following terms shall have the following

and other statutes of the United States relating to federal

23

income taxes, as such code and statutes are in effect on January

24

1, 2008 2007. However, if subsection (3) is implemented, the

25

meaning of any term shall be taken at the time the term is

26

applied under this code.

27

     (3)  FUTURE FEDERAL AMENDMENTS.--

28

     (a) On or after January 1, 1972, when expressly authorized

29

by law, any amendment to the Internal Revenue Code shall be given

30

effect under this code in such manner and for such periods as are

31

prescribed in the Internal Revenue Code, to the same extent as if

32

such amendment had been adopted by the Legislature of this state.

33

However, any such amendment shall have effect under this code

34

only to the extent that the amended provision of the Internal

35

Revenue Code shall be taken into account in the computation of

36

net income subject to tax hereunder.

37

     (b)1. Section 102 of Pub. L. No. 110-185 amends s. 179(b)

38

of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and provides

39

temporary increases in the limitations of expensing specified

40

depreciable business assets for tax years beginning after

41

December 31, 2007. The amount of such temporary increases may not

42

be used in computing adjusted federal income for the purpose of

43

determining corporate income tax liability in this state.

44

     2. Section 103 of Pub. L. No. 110-185 amends s. 168(k) of

45

the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for specified

46

property acquired after December 31, 2007, and before January 1,

47

2009. Section 103 provides an additional allowance equal to 50

48

percent of the adjusted basis of the qualified property entitled

49

to a depreciation deduction by s. 167(a) for the taxable year in

50

which such property is placed in service. The amount of such

51

special depreciation allowances may not be used in computing

52

adjusted federal income for the purpose of determining corporate

53

income tax liability in this state.

54

     3. It is the intent of the Legislature that ss. 102 and 103

55

of Pub. L. No. 110-185 be construed to disallow a deduction for

56

bonus depreciation allowed under s. 168 of the Internal Revenue

57

Code of 1986, as amended, in computing state net income. The

58

applicable depreciation conventions and recovery periods shall be

59

computed in the same manner as they are computed by the taxpayer

60

in determining federal taxable income. As used in this chapter,

61

the term "bonus depreciation" includes all amounts allowed as a

62

special allowance under s. 168(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of

63

1986, as amended.

64

     Section 2.  Paragraph (a) of subsection (1) of section
