The bill establishes a new tax credit for individual taxpayers who incur recycling costs, effectively creating a financial incentive for recycling activities.

  • 35 ILCS 5/246

    Sec. 246. Solid waste recycling credit. (a) For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2025, each individual taxpayer is entitled to a credit against the taxes imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 in an amount equal to 100% of the eligible recycling costs incurred by the taxpayer during the taxable year, not to exceed $1,000 per taxpayer. (b) In no event shall a credit under this Section reduce the taxpayer's liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability for the year, the excess may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the excess credit year. The tax credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which there is a tax liability. If there are credits for more than one year that are available to offset a liability, the earlier credit shall be applied first. (c) As used in this Section: "Eligible recycling costs" means costs associated with the collection, separation, conversion, or treatment of recyclable solid waste materials, including, but not limited to, paper, glass, and plastic. "Eligible recycling costs" includes service costs incurred by the taxpayer for the collection and removal of recyclable solid waste materials and costs associated with the purchase of equipment used exclusively for collecting, treating, separating, converting, or treating recyclable solid waste materials. (d) This Section is exempt from the provisions of Section 250.

    The bill creates a new section in the Illinois Income Tax Act that allows individual taxpayers to receive a credit for recycling costs.
