B. At the election of a taxpayer operating a child care facility within this state primarily for the children of employees of the taxpayer, any expenditure made to acquire, construct, renovate or remodel the child care facility or equipment is allowable as a subtraction ratably over a period of twenty-four months beginning with the month in which the property is placed in service.
C. The subtraction provided by this section shall be in lieu of any allowance for the exhaustion, wear and tear of such property used in a trade or business or of property held for the production of income, including a reasonable allowance for obsolescence pursuant to section 167 or 188 of the internal revenue code.
