This statement will be furnished no later than January 31st of the year following the year of their investment in the Venture Capital Company. A copy of this statement is to be attached to the Oklahoma Income Tax Return of the investor in order to qualify for the tax credit.

The transferred credit may only be used from the time of the transfer forward and is limited to the original qualifying period. [See: 68 O.S. § 2357 ]

(e) An example of the application of the venture capital company credit is as follows:

Example: A makes an investment in a Qualified Venture Capital Plan in 1989 of $20,000.00, receiving a tax credit of $4,000.00. In 1989, A utilizes $1,000 of the tax credit, and has available $3,000.00 for the succeeding three years. In 1990, A transfers to B $1,000.00 of the remaining credit, leaving A with a remaining credit of $2,000.00, which can be utilized in 1990 - 1992. In 1990, B utilizes $250.00 of the $1,000.00 credit. (B cannot use any of the credit for a prior year, however, B may now transfer this credit to C or to any other taxpayer if B is unable to utilize the remaining credit.) B may use the remaining $750.00 credit only in the years 1991 and 1992, the remainder of the original qualifying period. A may utilize or transfer all or any portion of A's remaining credit in the years 1990 - 1992.
