§265. Credits arising from refunds by utilities
Whenever a utility refunds to its customers, pursuant to an order of a court or regulatory agency as a result of the denial of a proposed rate increase, an amount or amounts which, if taken as a deduction from gross income in the year paid or accrued, would result in a net loss, then in lieu of such deduction the utility may elect to take a credit against its Louisiana income tax in the amount of seventy-two percent of the income tax increase which was the sole result of the inclusion of the amount or amounts refunded in gross income in the year or years received irrespective of whether or not the period of limitation provided in R.S. 47:1623 has expired for the year in which the amount refunded was included in gross income. If this credit exceeds the income tax that would be due the state of Louisiana in the year of the refund, computed without the credit, then the excess of this credit may be carried over the following two taxable years.
