"SEC. 847. SPECIAL ESTIMATED TAX PAYMENTS.

 

"In the case of taxable years beginning after December 31, 1987, of an insurance company required to discount unpaid losses (as defined in section 846)--

 

"(1) ADDITIONAL DEDUCTION.--There shall be allowed as a deduction for the taxable year, if separate estimated tax payments are made as required by paragraph (2), an amount not to exceed the excess of--

 

"(A) the amount of the undiscounted, unpaid losses (as defined in section 846(b)) attributable to losses incurred after December 31, 1986, over

"(B) the amount of the related discounted, unpaid losses determined under section 846,

 

to the extent such amount was not deducted under this paragraph in a preceding taxable year. Section 6655 shall be applied to any taxable year without regard to the deduction allowed under the preceding sentence.

"(2) SPECIAL ESTIMATED TAX PAYMENTS.--The deduction under paragraph (1) shall be allowed only to the extent that special estimated tax payments are made in an amount equal to the tax benefit attributable to such deduction, on or before the date that any taxes (determined without regard to this section) for the taxable year for which the deduction is allowed are due to be paid. If a deduction would be allowed but for the fact that special estimated tax payments were not timely made, such deduction shall be allowed to the extent such payments are made within a reasonable time, as determined by the Secretary, if all interest and penalties, computed as if this sentence did not apply, are paid. If amounts are included in gross income under paragraph (5) or (6) for any taxable year and an additional tax is due for such year (or any other year) as a result of such inclusion, an amount of special estimated tax payments equal to such additional tax shall be applied against such additional tax. If, after any such payment is so applied, there is an adjustment reducing the amount of such additional tax, in lieu of any credit or refund for such reduction, a special estimated tax payment shall be treated as made in an amount equal to the amount otherwise allowable as a credit or refund. To the extent that a special estimated tax payment is not used to offset additional tax due for any of the first 15 taxable years beginning after the year for which the payment was made, such special estimated tax payment shall be treated as an estimated tax payment made under section 6655 for the 16th year after the year for which the payment was made.

"(3) SPECIAL LOSS DISCOUNT ACCOUNT.--Each company which is allowed a deduction under paragraph (1) shall, for purposes of this part, establish and maintain a special loss discount account.

"(4) ADDITIONS TO SPECIAL LOSS DISCOUNT ACCOUNT.--There shall be added to the special loss discount account for each taxable year an amount equal to the amount allowed as a deduction for the taxable year under paragraph (1).

"(5) SUBTRACTIONS FROM SPECIAL LOSS DISCOUNT ACCOUNT AND INCLUSION IN GROSS INCOME.--After applying paragraph (4), there shall be subtracted for the taxable year from the special loss discount account and included in gross income:

 

"(A) The excess (if any) of the amount in the special loss discount account with respect to losses incurred in each taxable year over the amount of the excess referred to in paragraph (1) with respect to losses incurred in that year, and

"(B) Any amount improperly subtracted from the special loss discount account under subparagraph (A) to the extent special estimated tax payments were used with respect to such amount.

 

"(6) RULES IN THE CASE OF LIQUIDATION OR TERMINATION OF TAXPAYER'S INSURANCE BUSINESS.--

 

"(A) IN GENERAL.--If a company liquidates or otherwise terminates its insurance business and does not transfer or distribute such business in an acquisition of assets referred to in section 381(a), the entire amount remaining in such special loss discount account shall be subtracted and included in gross income. Except in the case where a company transfers or distributes its insurance business in an acquisition of assets, referred to in section 381(a), if the company is not subject to the tax imposed by section 801 or section 831 for any taxable year, the entire amount in the account at the close of the preceding taxable year shall be subtracted from the account in such preceding taxable year and included in gross income.

"(B) ELIMINATION OF BALANCE OF PAYMENTS.--In any case to which subparagraph (A) applies, any special estimated tax payment remaining after the credit attributable to the inclusion under subparagraph (A) shall be voided.

 

"(7) MODIFICATION OF THE AMOUNT OF SPECIAL ESTIMATED TAX PAYMENTS IN THE EVENT OF SUBSEQUENT MARGINAL RATE REDUCTION OR INCREASE.--In the event of a reduction in any tax rate provided under section 11 for any tax year after the enactment of this section, the Secretary shall prescribe regulations providing for a reduction in the amount of any special estimated tax payments made for years before the effective date of such section 11 rate reductions. Such reduction in the amount of such payments shall reduce the amount of such payments to the amount that they would have been if the special deduction permitted under paragraph (1) had occurred during a year that the lower marginal rate under section 11 applied. Similar rules shall be applied in the event of a marginal rate increase.

"(8) TAX BENEFIT DETERMINATION.--The tax benefit attributable to the deduction under paragraph (1) shall be determined under regulations prescribed by the Secretary, by taking into account tax benefits that would arise from the carryback of any net operating loss for the year, as well as current year tax benefits. Tax benefits for the current year and carryback years shall include those that would arise from the filing of a consolidated return with another insurance company required to determine discounted, unpaid losses under section 846 without regard to the limitations on consolidation contained in section 1503(c).

"(9) REGULATIONS.--The Secretary shall prescribe such regulations as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of this section, including regulations--

 

"(A) providing for the separate application of this section with respect to each accident year, and

"(B) such adjustments in the application of this section as may be necessary to take into account the tax imposed by section 55."

"(vi) SPECIAL RULE FOR CERTAIN COMPUTATIONS.--For purposes of computing B and C in such formulas--

 

"(I) the percentage rate computed under subparagraph (C), shall not be reduced under clause (viii) of that subparagraph; and

"(II) any computations which under subparagraph (C) are to be made on the basis of a 4-quarter or 12-quarter period ending on a given June 30 shall be made on the basis of a period commencing with the first day of the first calendar quarter that begins after the date on which the employer first commenced paying compensation subject to this Act and ending on that June 30, and the amount so computed shall be increased to an amount that bears the same ratio to the amount so computed as 4 or 12, as appropriate, bears to the number of calendar quarters in the period on which the computation was based.

"(2) BENEFIT RATIO.--An employer's benefit ratio as of any given June 30 shall be determined by dividing all benefits charged to the employer under paragraph (15) during the 12 calendar quarters ending on such June 30 by the employer's 3-year compensation base as of such June 30 as computed under paragraph (3).

"(3) 3-YEAR COMPENSATION BASE.--An employer's 3-year compensation base as of any given June 30 is the aggregate compensation with respect to which contributions were paid by the employer under this subsection in the 12 calendar quarters ending on such June 30.

"(4) RESERVE RATIO.--An employer's reserve ratio as of any given June 30 shall be computed by dividing the employer's reserve balance as of such June 30, as computed under paragraph (6), by that employer's 1-year compensation base as of such June 30, as computed under paragraph (5). The employer's reserve ratio may be either a positive or a negative figure, depending upon whether the employer's reserve balance is a positive or negative figure.

An employer's reserve balance may be either positive or negative, depending upon whether or not that employer's net cumulative contribution balance exceeds the employer's cumulative benefit balance.

"(7) CUMULATIVE BENEFIT BALANCE.--An employer's cumulative benefit balance as of any given June 30 shall be determined by adding--

 

"(A) the net amount of the benefits charged to the employer under paragraph (15) on or after January 1, 1990; and

"(B) the cumulative amount of the employer's unallocated charges for the same period, if any, as computed under paragraph (9).

 

"(8) NET CUMULATIVE CONTRIBUTION BALANCE.--An employer's net cumulative contribution balance as of any given June 30 shall be determined as follows:

 

"(A) STEP 1.--Compute the sum of

 

"(i) all contributions paid by the employer pursuant to this subsection;

"(ii) that portion of the tax imposed under section 3321(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that is attributable to the surtax rate under section 516(b) of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance and Retirement Improvement Act of 1988; and

"(iii) any taxes paid by the employer pursuant to section 3321(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (after the outstanding balance of loans made under section 10(d) before October 1, 1985, plus interest, have been paid);

 

on or after January 1, 1990.

"(B) STEP 2.--Subtract an amount equal to the amount of such contributions deposited to the credit of the fund under subsection (i).

"(C) STEP 3.--Add an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which such contributions were reduced in prior calendar years as a result of pooled credits, if any, under paragraph (1)(C)(iii).

 

"(9) UNALLOCATED CHARGE.--An employer's unallocated charge as of any given June 30 is the amount that as of such June 30 bears the same ratio to the system unallocated charge balance, computed under paragraph (10), as the employer's 1-year compensation base, computed under paragraph (5), bears to the system compensation base computed under paragraph (11).

"(10) SYSTEM UNALLOCATED CHARGE BALANCE.--The system unallocated charge balance as of any given June 30 shall be determined as follows:

 

"(A) STEP 1.--Compute the aggregate amount of all interest paid by the account on loans from the Railroad Retirement Account after September 30, 1985, pursuant to section 10(d), during the 4 calendar quarters ending on that June 30.

"(B) STEP 2.--Add the aggregate amount of any additions to the system unallocated charge balance specified in paragraphs (15) and (16), during that period.

"(C) STEP 3.--Add the aggregate amount of any other expenditures by the account during that period not chargeable to any individual employer under paragraph (15) or to the fund under section 11.

"(D) STEP 4.--Subtract the aggregate amount of all income to the account, under section 10(a)(iv) or section 10(a)(vii), during that period.

"(E) STEP 5.--Subtract the aggregate amount of all transfers to the account, pursuant to section 11(d), during that period.

"(F) STEP 6.--Subtract the aggregate amount of all other income and receipts of the account, during that period, which are not assigned to individual employer balances.

"(G) STEP 7.--Subtract the net cumulative contribution balance of each employer whose balance has been cancelled pursuant to paragraph (16), during that period, calculated as of the date of such cancellation.

 

"(11) SYSTEM COMPENSATION BASE.--The system compensation base as of any given June 30 shall be determined by adding together the amounts of the 1-year compensation bases of all employers and employee representatives subject to this Act, computed in accordance with paragraph (5), as of such June 30.

"(12) POOLED CREDIT RATIO.--The pooled credit ratio, if any, for a calendar year shall be determined as follows:

 

"(A) STEP 1.--Compute the balance to the credit of the account as of the close of business on the preceding June 30, including any amounts in the account attributable to loans made under section 10(d) before October 1, 1985, but disregarding the obligation to repay such loans and interest thereon. In determining such balance as of June 30 of any year, so much of the balance to the credit of the railroad unemployment insurance administration fund as of the close of business on such date as is in excess of $6,000,000 shall be deemed to be part of the balance to the credit of such account. There will be a pooled credit ratio for the calendar year only if that balance is in excess of the greater of $250,000,000 or of the amount that bears the same ratio to $250,000,000 as the system compensation base as of that June 30 bears to the system compensation base as of June 30, 1991, as computed in accordance with paragraph (11).

"(B) STEP 2.--If there is such an excess amount, divide that excess amount by the system compensation base as of the June 30 preceding the calendar year. The result is the pooled credit ratio for the calendar year.

 

"(13) POOLED CHARGE RATIO.--The pooled charge ratio, if any, for a calendar year shall be determined as follows:

 

"(A) STEP 1.--With respect to each employer whose contribution rate for that calendar year as computed through step 6 under paragraph (1)(C) was greater than the maximum contribution limit computed under paragraph (20), multiply the employer's 1-year compensation base as of the preceding June 30, as computed in accordance with paragraph (5), by the difference between--

 

"(i) the percentage rate determined under subparagraph (B), (C), or (D) of paragraph (1) before the reduction to the maximum contribution limit; and

"(ii) the maximum contribution limit.

 

"(B) STEP 2.--Add the amounts arrived at under step 1 so as to obtain an aggregate amount for all such employers.

"(C) STEP 3.--For each employer whose contribution rate as computed through step 3 under paragraph (1)(C) was less than 0, the percentage rate by which such employer's rate was raised in order to bring that rate to 0 shall be multiplied by that employer's 1-year compensation base as of the preceding June 30. Subtract the total of the amounts computed under the preceding sentence for all employers from the amount arrived at in step 2.

"(D) STEP 4.--Divide the aggregate amount arrived at under step 3 by the system compensation base as of the preceding June 30 as computed under paragraph (11) minus the one-year compensation base of those employers whose rates computed through step 6 of paragraph (1)(C) exceeded the maximum contribution rate computed under paragraph (20). The result is the pooled charge ratio for the calendar year.

 

"(14) SURCHARGE RATE.--The surcharge rate for a calendar year, if any, shall be determined as follows:

 

"(A) STEP 1.--Compute the balance to the credit of the account as of the close of business on the preceding June 30, including any amounts in the account attributable to loans made under section 10(d) before October 1, 1985, but disregarding the obligation to repay such loans and interest thereon. In determining such balance as of June 30 of any year, so much of the balance to the credit of the railroad unemployment insurance administration fund as of the close of business on such date as is in excess of $6,000,000 shall be deemed to be part of the balance to the credit of such account. There will be a surcharge rate for the calendar year only if that balance is less than the greater of $100,000,000 or of the amount that bears the same ratio to $100,000,000 as the system compensation base as of that June 30 bears to the system compensation base as of June 30, 1991, as computed in accordance with paragraph (11).

"(B) STEP 2.--

 

"(i) If the balance to the credit of the account is less than the greater of the amounts referred to in the 2nd sentence of step 1 but is equal to or more than the greater of $50,000,000 or of the amount that bears the same ratio to $50,000,000 as the system compensation base as of that June 30 bears to the system compensation base as of June 30, 1991, then the surcharge rate for the calendar year shall be 1.5 percent.

"(ii) If the balance to the credit of the account is less than the greater of the amounts referred to in the clause (i), but greater than or equal to zero, then the surcharge rate for the calendar year shall be 2.5 percent.

"(iii) If the balance to the credit of the account is less than zero, the surcharge rate for the calendar year shall be 3.5 percent.

"(15) CHARGEABLE BENEFITS.--

 

"(A) IN GENERAL.--Beginning January 1, 1990, all benefits paid to an employee for days of unemployment or days of sickness shall be charged to that employee's base year employer by adding amounts equal to the amounts of such benefits to the employer's cumulative benefit balance except that benefits paid by reason of strikes or work stoppages growing out of labor disputes shall not be added to the employer's cumulative benefit balance but instead shall be added to the system unallocated charge balance.

"(B) ADJUSTMENTS.--A sum equal to each amount realized in recovery for overpayment, erroneous payment, or reimbursement of benefits and credited to the account pursuant to section 10(a)(v) or 10(a)(viii) shall be subtracted from the cumulative benefit balances of the employers of the employees to whom such an amount was paid as a benefit in the proportion to the amount by which each such employer's cumulative benefit balance was increased as a result of the payment of the benefit.

"(C) MULTIPLE EMPLOYERS.--

 

"(i) IN GENERAL.--All benefits paid to an employee who had more than 1 base-year employer shall be charged to the cumulative benefit balances of the employee's base year employers--

 

"(I) in reverse chronological order of the employee's employment with each such employer in the base year if the employer at the time of the claim was the last base year employer, and the amount charged to each employer shall not exceed the compensation paid by that employer to the employee in the base year; and

"(II) in all other cases, in the same ratio as the compensation paid to such employee by the employer bears to the total of such compensation paid to such employees by all such employers in the base year.

 

"(ii) SPECIAL RULE FOR EMPLOYER WITH CANCELLED BALANCES.--All benefits chargeable under this subparagraph to an employer for which the Board has cancelled balances under paragraph (16) shall be added to the system unallocated charge balance.
"(16) DEFUNCT EMPLOYER.--Whenever the Board determines, pursuant to such regulations as the Board may prescribe, that an employer has permanently ceased to pay compensation with respect to which contributions are payable pursuant to this subsection, the Board shall, effective on the date of the Board's determination, transfer the employer's net cumulative contribution balance as a subtraction from, and cumulative benefit balance as an addition to, the system unallocated charge balance and cancel all other accumulations of the employer.

"(17) INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYER RECORD.--

 

"(A) IN GENERAL.--As of January 1, 1990, the Board shall commence maintaining an individual employer record with respect to each employer, and the records necessary to determine pooled charges, pooled credits and unallocated charge balances for the system. Whenever a new employer begins paying compensation with respect to which contributions are payable pursuant to this subsection, the Board shall establish and maintain an individual employer record for such employer.

"(B) DEFINITION.--As used in this paragraph, the term 'individual employer record' means a record of an individual employer's benefit ratio, reserve ratio, 1-year compensation base, 3-year compensation base, unallocated charge, reserve balance, net cumulative contribution balance, and cumulative benefit balance.

 

"(18) JOINT EMPLOYER RECORDS.--Pursuant to regulations prescribed by the Board, the Board may allow 2 or more employers, upon application, to establish and maintain, or to discontinue, a joint individual employer record for such employers as though such joint record constituted a single employer's individual employer record.

"(19) MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS, OR OTHER CHANGES IN EMPLOYER IDENTITY.--

 

"(A) WITH OTHER EMPLOYERS.--In the event of a merger, consolidation, unification, or reorganization in which an employer combines with another employer and the combination entails no partitioning of the property of the employer, the individual employer records of the 2 employers shall be combined into a joint individual employer record if the parties request such joint treatment pursuant to paragraph (18) or if the Board otherwise determines, pursuant to regulations prescribed by the Board, that such joint treatment is desirable.

"(B) WITH NONEMPLOYERS.--In the event of a merger, consolidation, unification, or reorganization in which an employer combines with another entity that is not an employer, the employer's individual employer record shall attach to the combined entity.

"(C) SALE OF ASSETS.--In the event property of an employer is sold or transferred to another employer or other entity, or is partitioned among 2 or more employers or entities, the cumulative benefit balance, net cumulative contribution balance, 1-year compensation base, and 3-year compensation base of the employer shall be prorated among the employers which receive the property, including any entities which become employers by virtue of such transfer or partition, in such equitable manner as the Board by regulation shall prescribe.

"(D) REINCORPORATION.--The cumulative benefit balance, net cumulative contribution balance, 1-year compensation base, and 3-year compensation base of an employer that reincorporates or otherwise alters its corporate identity in a transaction not involving a merger, consolidation, or unification shall attach to the reincorporated or altered entity.

"(E) ABANDONMENT.--If an employer abandons property or discontinues service but continues to operate as an employer, the employer's individual employer record shall continue to be calculated as provided in this subsection without retroactive adjustment.

 

"(20) MAXIMUM CONTRIBUTION LIMIT.--The maximum contribution limit with respect to a calendar year is 12 percent, unless a 3.5 percent surcharge under paragraph (14) is in effect with respect to that calendar year. If such a surcharge is in effect the maximum contribution limit with respect to that calendar year is 12.5 percent.

"(21) SPECIAL RULES FOR CERTAIN COMPUTATIONS UNDER PARAGRAPH (1)(C).--

"(ii) ending on that June 30.

 

"(B) The amount computed under subparagraph (A) shall be increased to an amount that bears the same ratio to the amount so computed as 12 bears to the number of calendar quarters on which the computation is based.".
(b) EMPLOYEE REPRESENTATIVE CONTRIBUTION.--Subsection (b) of section 8 is amended to read as follows:

"(b) EMPLOYEE REPRESENTATIVE CONTRIBUTION.--Each employee representative shall pay a contribution with respect to so much of the compensation paid to him for services performed as an employee representative as is not in excess of the monthly compensation base computed in accordance with section 1(i), at a rate which shall be determined under subsection (a) in the same manner and with the same effect as if the employee organization by which such employee representative is employed were an employer as defined in this Act.".

(c) EXTENSION OF REMEDIES.--Section 8(h) is amended by adding at the end the following: "The remedies available under the first sentence of this subsection for an employer or employee representative who contests the amount of contributions payable by him shall also apply with respect to a contention that the contribution rate determined by the Board under subsection (a) or (b) to be applicable to such employer or employee representative is inaccurate or otherwise improper.".
