Short Statement: The Possessions Corporation Tax Credit, reported on Form 5735 (Rev. April 2003), was scheduled to expire for tax years beginning after December 31, 2005. The Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006, section 119, extended and modified the credit for two years. The credit is available only for American Samoa. As a result, the title of Form 5735 will change to American Samoa Economic Development Credit. The credit is available for the first two taxable years of a corporation which begin after December 31, 2005, and before January 1, 2008. Form 5735 was modified and Schedule P(Form 5735) was obsoleted.
