A. Each qualified rural small business capital company shall file an annual report with the Oklahoma Tax Commission no later than April 30 of each year which lists all qualified investments in or in conjunction with such company which may qualify for the tax credit allowed by Section 2357.73 or Section 2357.74 of this title. The report shall state the amount of qualified investments in or in conjunction with such company during the taxable year by persons, partnerships or corporations and the social security number of such person or the federal identification number of such partnership or corporation making such qualified investments. The report shall also include a schedule listing the type and amount of qualified investment made by or in conjunction with the rural small business capital company and such other information as the Tax Commission may prescribe.

B. Each qualified rural small business capital company shall furnish to each person, partnership or corporation which made a qualified investment in or in conjunction with such company during the preceding year a written statement showing the name of the rural small business capital company, the name of the investor, the total amount of qualified investment in or in conjunction with the company made by such person, partnership or corporation, the amount of the qualified investment which was subsequently invested by the capital company in a rural small business venture, the date of such investment and the name of the business venture invested in and such other information as the Tax Commission may require. The statement shall be attached to the income tax return or other applicable tax report or return of such person, partnership or corporation in order to qualify for the tax credit allowed by Section 2357.73 or Section 2357.74 of this title.

C. On or before April 30 of each year, the qualified rural small business capital company shall provide to the Tax Commission a copy of its annual financial statements, including documentation which, to the satisfaction of the Oklahoma Tax Commission, shall address the methods of operation and conduct of the business of the capital company to determine whether the capital company is complying with the terms of the Rural Venture Capital Formation Incentive Act and any rules promulgated by the Tax Commission, including whether qualified investments in Oklahoma rural small business ventures have been made in the manner required by law. No credit shall be allowed for an investment in a rural small business capital company unless the report required by this subsection for the year in which the investment is made is provided.

D. Qualified rural small business capital companies or any entity making an investment in conjunction with investment by a qualified rural small business capital company pursuant to Section 2357.74 of this title must notify the Tax Commission within twenty (20) business days if:

1. The investment in an Oklahoma rural small business venture is transferred, withdrawn or otherwise returned; or

2. An occurrence upon which an investment is contingent has taken place.

If the qualified investment is held in the Oklahoma rural small business venture for less than five (5) years, the Tax Commission shall revoke the verification of tax credits and take action to recapture the tax credits pursuant to Section 22 of this act to the extent such credits were authorized based upon an amount of qualified investment that was transferred, withdrawn or otherwise returned.

E. Any qualified rural small business capital company who refuses or fails to comply with the provisions of this section or is hereafter found guilty in a court of competent jurisdiction of any violation of any Oklahoma tax law shall not be eligible to be a qualified rural small business capital company for purposes of this act.

F. Any taxpayer who refuses or fails to comply with the provisions of this section or is hereafter found guilty in a court of competent jurisdiction of any violation of any Oklahoma tax law shall not be eligible for the tax credits granted in Sections 2357.73 and 2357.74 of this title.

G. The Tax Commission is directed to immediately develop a system for reporting of any tax credits issued pursuant to Sections 2357.73 and 2357.74 of this title and a system which requires the filing of informational reports on how the qualified investments were used, economic benchmarks achieved, implementation of a business plan for the Oklahoma rural small business venture, commercialization success, additional investments in the business by other investors and job creation that has taken place.
