§ 2005. Corporate income tax deduction; amount
For purpose of computing taxable income under Chapter 19, Title 30, Delaware Code, relating to the corporation income tax, the Secretary of Finance shall allow a deduction equal to the amount invested by a business firm in a program, the proposal for which was approved under the provisions of Section 2004 of this Title. Such tax deduction, however, shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the annual tax paid by the business as computed without such deduction, or $50,000, whichever is less.
Section 4. Amend Section 2006 of Title 30, Delaware Code, by striking said section in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof a new Section 2006 to read as follows:
§ 2006. Unused tax deduction

(b) Excess contributions are those contributions that are not deductible in the year of the grant because of the limitation imposed by Section 2005. The excess contributions carried over from prior years shall be allowable only after contributions for the current year have been deducted and in no event, shall the total deductions under the chapter, for any one year, exceed the limitation imposed by Section 2005.
