AI Summary

This bill proposes the creation of a "super research and development tax credit" in Massachusetts. It would allow businesses that qualify for the existing research expense tax credit to claim an additional credit equal to the amount their qualified research expenses exceed a "super credit base amount," which is defined as the average of their research expenses over the previous 5 years increased by 50%. The credit is limited to 50% of the business's tax liability after other credits, and unused credits can be carried forward for up to 5 years. The bill also specifies how the credit would apply to corporations filing combined tax returns.
