Provided, for the tax attributed to premiums collected prior to July 1, 1988, the credit shall not be greater than the tax payable for such premiums; for the tax attributed to premiums collected on or after July 1, 1988 through December 31, 1988, the credit authorized by this section and the investment credit authorized by Section 625 of this title shall not reduce the tax payable for such premiums to less than one percent (1%).

Beginning with the taxes payable for calendar year 1989, the premium tax levied by Section 624 of this title shall not be reduced by the credit provided for in this section.
