Section A. Sections 143.171 and 160.500, RSMo 1994, are repealed and two new sections enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as sections 143.171 and 160.500, to read as follows:
143.171. 1. For all tax years beginning before January 1, 1994, for an individual taxpayer and for all tax years beginning before September 1, 1993, and on or after January 1, 2000, for a corporate taxpayer, the taxpayer shall be allowed a deduction for [his] such taxpayer's federal income tax liability [under] pursuant to chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code for the same taxable year for which the Missouri return is being filed after reduction for all credits thereon, except the credit for payments of federal estimated tax, the credit for the overpayment of any federal tax, and the credits allowed by the Internal Revenue Code by section 31 (tax withheld on wages), section 27 (tax of foreign country and United States possessions), and section 34 (tax on certain uses of gasoline, special fuels, and lubricating oils).
2. For all tax years beginning on or after January 1, 1994, an individual taxpayer shall be allowed a deduction for [his] such individual's federal income tax liability [under] pursuant to chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code for the same taxable year for which the Missouri return is being filed, not to exceed five thousand dollars on a single taxpayer's return or ten thousand dollars on a combined return, after reduction for all credits thereon, except the credit for payments of federal estimated tax, the credit for the overpayment of any federal tax, and the credits allowed by the Internal Revenue Code by section 31 (tax withheld on wages), section 27 (tax of foreign country and United States possessions), and section 34 (tax on certain uses of gasoline, special fuels, and lubricating oils).
3. For all tax years beginning on or after September 1, 1993, but before January 1, 2000, a corporate taxpayer shall be allowed a deduction for fifty percent of its federal income tax liability [under] pursuant to chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code for the same taxable year for which the Missouri return is being filed after reduction for all credits thereon, except the credit for payments of federal estimated tax, the credit for the overpayment of any federal tax, and the credits allowed by the Internal Revenue Code by section 31 (tax withheld on wages), section 27 (tax of foreign country and United States possessions), and section 34 (tax on certain uses of gasoline, special fuels and lubricating oils).
4. If a federal income tax liability for a tax year prior to the applicability of sections 143.011 to 143.996 for which [he] a taxpayer was not previously entitled to a Missouri deduction is later paid or accrued, [he] such taxpayer may deduct the federal tax in the later year to the extent it would have been deductible if paid or accrued in the prior year.
160.500. 1. Sections 160.500 to 160.538, sections 160.545 and 160.550, sections 161.099 and 161.610, RSMo, sections 162.203 and 162.1010, RSMo, section 163.023, RSMo, sections 166.275 and 166.300, RSMo, section 170.254, RSMo, section 173.750, RSMo, and sections 178.585 and 178.698, RSMo, may be cited as the "Outstanding Schools Act" and includes provisions relating to reduced class size, the A+ schools program, funding for parents as teachers and early childhood development, teacher training, the upgrading of vocational and technical education, measures to promote accountability and other provisions of those sections.
2. There is hereby established in the state treasury the "Outstanding Schools Trust Fund". The moneys in the fund shall be available to support only the provisions, reforms and programs referenced in subsection 1 of this section or otherwise contained in [this act] senate bill no. 380 of the eighty-seventh general assembly. The fund shall consist of moneys required by law to be credited to such fund and moneys appropriated annually by the general assembly. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 33.080, RSMo, to the contrary, moneys in the fund shall not be transferred to the credit of the general revenue fund at the end of the biennium. All yield, interest, income, increment or gain received from time deposit of moneys in the state treasury to the credit of the fund shall be credited by the state treasurer to the fund. Of all refunds made of taxes deposited into the fund, the appropriate percentage of any refund shall be paid from the fund or deducted from transfers to the fund.
3. The commissioner of administration shall estimate and furnish to the state treasurer the appropriate net increase in the
amount of state tax revenues collected and any adjustments to previous estimates pursuant to [this act] senate bill no. 380
of the eighty-seventh general assembly from the following: the additional one and one-fourth percent tax on Missouri
taxable income collected under subsection 2 of section 143.071, RSMo; and the reduction of the federal income tax
deduction pursuant to subsections 2 and 3 of section 143.171, RSMo, not including any change in tax collections resulting
from any revision of the federal tax code made after January 1, 1993. For all tax years beginning on or after January
1, 2000, the commissioner of administration shall also include in such estimate and furnish to the state treasurer
from the general revenue fund an amount equal to three and one-eight percent of the cumulative amount claimed
by all corporate taxpayers as a deduction for federal income tax liability pursuant to section 143.171, RSMo. The
treasurer shall transfer monthly from general revenue an amount equal to the estimate to the outstanding schools trust
fund established in subsection 2 of this section.
