41-3616. CREDITS FOR ASSESSMENTS PAID. (1) A member insurer may offset against its premium tax liability to this state under section 41-402, Idaho Code, an assessment described in subsection (1)(d) of section 41-3608, Idaho Code. An offset is allowable to the extent of twenty percent (20%) of the amount of such assessment for each of five (5) calendar years beginning with the premium tax due under section 41-402(4), Idaho Code, with respect to the year of payment of the assessment and thereafter with the premium tax due under section 41-402(4), Idaho Code, during each of the four (4) succeeding years. An allowable offset, or portion thereof, not used in any calendar year cannot be carried over or back to any other year. An insurer that is exempt from the premium tax imposed by section 41-402, Idaho Code, may offset against its premium tax liability to the industrial administration fund in the same manner as an offset to the premium tax imposed by section 41-402(4).
(2) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in section 41-3608(2)(f), Idaho Code, any sums acquired by refund from insurance company receiverships by the association which have heretofore been written off by contributing insurers and offset against premium taxes as provided in subsection (1) of this section, and which, in the opinion of the board of directors, will not be needed for the purposes of this chapter within two (2) years from the date the association receives the refund from the receivership, shall be paid by the association to the director and by him deposited with the state treasurer for credit to the state general fund.
