The applicable percentages that may be claimed are:

(2) The amount of the credit claimed by an allocatee shall not exceed the amount of such entity's Georgia state tax liability for the tax year for which the credit is claimed. Any amount of credit that an allocatee is prohibited from claiming in a taxable year as a result of this Code section may be carried forward for use in any subsequent taxable year.

(3) No allocatee claiming a credit under any applicable code section is required to pay any additional tax that may arise as a result of claiming such credit.

Credits earned by or allocated to a partnership, limited liability company, or S-corporation may be allocated to the partners, members, or shareholders of such entity for their direct use in accordance with the provisions of any agreement among such partners, members, or shareholders, and a rural fund must notify the Department of the names of the entities that are eligible to utilize credits pursuant to an allocation of credits or a change in allocation of credits or due to a transfer of a capital investment upon such allocation, change, or transfer. Such allocation shall not be considered a sale.
