           (B)       Effective January 1, 2004, the license taxes imposed on cigarettes by Article 5, Chapter 21, Title 12 of the 1976 Code and this subparagraph must be paid by affixing stamps to each individual package in the manner and at the time set forth in this subparagraph.  A stamp evidencing the taxes imposed may not be of a denomination of less than one cent and whenever the tax computed at the rate prescribed is a specified amount plus a fractional part of one cent, the package must be stamped for the next full cent.  The Department of Revenue may authorize wholesale dealers in cigarettes to store cigarettes intended to be sold and shipped out of this State in separate compartments of their business without affixing revenue stamps.  However, a wholesale dealer making shipments of cigarettes to locations out of this State shall apply to the department for a license that allows the wholesale dealer to maintain the separate compartments authorized by this item.  A wholesale dealer in cigarettes violating the rules and regulations permitting the storage of cigarettes without affixing the stamps is liable for the penalties contained in Title 12 of the 1976 Code.  The stamps must be affixed to each individual package by wholesalers within seventy-two hours after the products are received by them and by retailers within twenty-four hours of receipt by them of these products.  In any event, these goods must be stamped before being sold.  If cigarettes are manufactured within the State and sold directly to consumers, they must be stamped by the manufacturer when and as sold.  Each person or distributor of taxable cigarettes first receiving untaxed cigarettes for sale or distribution in this State is subject to the taxes imposed by Article 5, Chapter 21, Title 12 of the 1976 Code and subparagraph (A) of this paragraph.  Each person or distributor required to pay the taxes by affixing stamps must also make a report to the department, in the form the department prescribes, of all cigarettes and cigarette tax stamps in inventory at the beginning and end of the month, all cigarettes and cigarette tax stamps purchased during the month, all cigarettes disposed of in this State during the month, and other information required by law or considered necessary by the department.  If the report indicates that the person or distributor did not stamp all cigarettes disposed of, the person or distributor shall pay the additional taxes with the report.  The report and taxes, if any additional taxes are due with the report, are due no later than the twentieth day of the month next succeeding the month of the purchase or disposition.  Cigarettes held in inventory on January 1, 2004, by the person or distributor who first received the cigarettes into this State must be stamped as provided by this subparagraph.  Credit must be allowed for any taxes previously paid on the cigarettes.
           (C)      Section 12-21-735 is suspended effective January 1, 2004, for the remainder of the current fiscal year.
           (D)(1)      This subparagraph may be cited as the Economic Recovery Tax Relief Act.
                 (2)      For purposes of this subparagraph:
                       (a)      "Board of Economic Advisors" means the Board of Economic Advisors of the State Budget and Control Board established pursuant to Section 11-9-820 of the 1976 Code.
                       (b)      "Board of Economic Advisors revenue estimate" means a Board of Economic Advisors estimate of revenues made by October tenth of each year as required by this subparagraph.
                       (c)      "Individual income tax revenue" means total state individual income tax revenue for a fiscal year.
                       (d)      "Individual income tax general fund revenue" means individual income tax revenue reduced by amounts required to be deducted and credited to the Trust Fund for Tax Relief pursuant to Section 11-11-150.  In determining individual income tax general fund revenue, the amount deducted from individual income tax revenue for credit to the Trust Fund for Tax Relief must be an amount which bears the same ratio to the total Trust Fund for Tax Relief amount for a fiscal year as individual income tax revenue bears to the sum of individual income tax revenue and corporate income tax revenue for the fiscal year.
                       (e)      "Base revenue" means $2,092,691,000 adjusted upward by one and one-half percent a fiscal year beginning with the fiscal year immediately succeeding the fiscal year in which individual income tax general fund revenue first equals or exceeds $2,092,691,000.
                       (f)      "Economic recovery revenue"  means the amount by which the Board of Economic Advisors revenue estimate for individual income tax general fund revenue exceeds base revenue.
                       (g)      "Cigarette tax increase" means a state tax on cigarettes in excess three and one-half mills a cigarette.
                       (h)      "Cumulative cigarette tax increase"  means the sum of state revenues derived from a cigarette tax increase for each completed fiscal year since inception.
           (3)      Beginning with fiscal year 2003-2004, the Comptroller General shall certify to the Board of Economic Advisors by October first following the close of the fiscal year base revenue, individual income tax revenue for the fiscal year that just ended, individual income tax general fund revenue for the fiscal year that just ended, and  the cumulative cigarette tax increase.
           (4)      Beginning with individual income tax liability for taxable years beginning after December 31,2003, and each taxable year thereafter and continuing until the date provided in item (9), there is allowed an Economic Recovery Tax Credit allocated among the individual income taxpayers of South Carolina as provided in item (5) of this subparagraph.  The Economic Recovery Tax Credit is nonrefundable for individual income taxpayers. Except as provided in item (7), the total Economic Recovery Tax Credit allowed is an amount equal to eighty percent of the economic recovery revenue for the current fiscal year.  There is no Economic Recovery Tax Credit allowed in a fiscal year in which there is no economic recovery revenue.  The amount of the Economic Recovery Tax Credit allowed for a specific fiscal year is realized by an individual taxpayer for a taxable year ending on or after December thirty-first during that specific fiscal year.
           (5)      The Board of Economic Advisors shall calculate and certify the total amount of the Economic Recovery Tax Credit to the Department of Revenue by October tenth of each year.  The Department of Revenue shall establish a method to apply the Economic Recovery Tax Credit to individual income tax returns that meets each of the following criteria:
                 (a)      the amount of the Economic Recovery Tax Credit realized by an individual taxpayer must be an amount which bears the same ratio to the total amount of the Economic Recovery Tax Credit as the income tax due as shown on the taxpayer's income tax return before taking the Economic Recovery Tax Credit bears to the individual income tax revenue for the fiscal year;
                 (b)      the Economic Recovery Tax Credit realized by individual taxpayers must be determined by a formula that calculates the Economic Recovery Tax Credit in terms of a percentage reduction to the state income tax liability of each individual; and,
                 (c)      the Economic Recovery Tax Credit does not produce a negative income tax liability for individual income taxpayers.
           (6)      The individual income tax rates imposed for each income bracket pursuant to Section 12-6-510  are reduced by one-half of a percentage point effective for taxable years beginning on or after the first day of January immediately following the close of the fiscal year in which a Board of Economic Advisors revenue estimate provides that the sum of the cumulative amount of Economic Recovery Tax Credit allowed pursuant to this section since enactment for completed fiscal years, and the Economic Recovery Tax Credit established in October of the current fiscal year, equals or exceeds the sum of the cumulative cigarette tax increase and the Board of Economic Advisors revenue estimate of the cigarette tax increase through December thirty-first of the current fiscal year and the total Economic Recovery Tax Credit for the current fiscal year is sufficient to offset a one-half percentage point reduction in individual income tax rates for each income bracket during the current calendar year.
           (7)      Effective at the beginning of the fiscal year following the income tax rate reductions provided for in item (6), and continuing for succeeding fiscal years until the Economic Recovery Tax Credit is terminated pursuant to item (9), the Economic Recovery Tax Credit amount defined in item (4) is an amount equal to fifty percent of each fiscal year's economic recovery revenue.
           (8)      After the income tax rate reductions and adjustment of the Economic Recovery Tax Credit amount provided in items (6) and (7) are implemented, the rates for each income bracket are permanently reduced by one and one-half of a percentage point effective for taxable years beginning on or after the first day of January immediately following the close of the fiscal year in which the current fiscal year Board of Economic Advisors revenue estimate provides that the total Economic Recovery Tax Credit for the current fiscal year is sufficient to offset a one and one-half percentage point reduction in individual income tax rates for each income bracket during the current calendar year,  and in each of the two fiscal years immediately preceding the current fiscal year, the Economic Recovery Tax Credit was sufficient to offset a one and one-half percentage point reduction in state individual income tax rates for each income bracket based upon actual individual income tax revenue as certified by the Comptroller General.
           (9)      The Economic Recovery Tax Credit provided by this subparagraph terminates effective the first taxable year in which the permanent reduction to individual income tax rates provided by item (8) takes effect.
           (10)      The Department of Revenue shall apply the income tax rate reductions provided in items (6) and (7) to the then applicable rates, and these rates as reduced, apply in lieu of the former rates.  After the income tax rate reductions provided for in item (6) take effect, the Department of Revenue shall calculate the effective tax rates for each income bracket resulting from the application of the Economic Recovery Tax Credit for each taxable year that the Economic Recovery Tax Credit is allowed.  These effective rates must be printed with tax tables and posted on the department's web site.                  /
