($375,000.00) in any calendar year, the Oklahoma Tax Commission

shall permit any excess over Three Hundred Seventy-five Thousand

that is not environmentally sensitive and nutrient-limited as

defined in the most recent Oklahoma Water Quality Standards; and

E. The credit allowed by this section shall be available to the

taxpayer in the year in which the poultry litter was purchased and

poultry litter in a manner consistent with an Animal Waste

Management Plan, as defined in Section 10-9.1 of Title 2 of the

beneficial uses from impairment from nutrients. If the credit

exceeds the amount of income taxes due or if there are no state

income taxes due on the income of the taxpayer, the amount of the

credit not used as an offset against the income taxes for a year may

be carried forward as a credit against subsequent income tax

liability for a period not to exceed five (5) years.

F. No credit otherwise authorized by the provisions of this

rients. If the credit

exceeds the amount of income taxes due or if there are no state

income taxes due on the income of the taxpayer, the amount of the

credit not used as an offset against the income taxes for a year may

be carried forward as a credit against subsequent income tax

liability for a period not to exceed five (5) years.

F. No credit otherwise authorized by the provisions of this

section may be claimed for any event, transaction, investment,

expenditure or other act occurring on or after July 1, 2010, for

which the credit would otherwise be allowable. The provisions of

this subsection shall cease to be operative on July 1, 2012.
