    (2) “Eligible taxpayer” also includes an affiliated group of taxpayers if:

    (B) For tax years beginning on or before January 1, 2010, the group is required to file a combined corporate net income tax return under this article if one or more affiliates included in the affiliated group would qualify as an eligible taxpayer under subdivision (1) of this subsection.

    (c) Amount of credit. -– The amount of credit allowed shall be equal to one-quarter percent of the remaining current balance of the eligible taxpayer’s West Virginia net operating loss carryovers allowed by subsection (d), section six of this article that exist existed as of December 31, 2006, decreased by the net operating loss used or applied in each tax year beginning on or after January 1, 2008. Effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2010, the amount of credit allowed shall be equal to the difference between the current year tax rate as defined by section four of this article and nine percent of the remaining balance of the eligible taxpayer’s West Virginia net operating loss carryovers allowed by subsection (d), section six of this article that existed as of December 31, 2007, decreased by net operating loss used or applied in each tax year beginning on or after January 1, 2008.
