IMPOSED   UNDER   SECTIONS   ONE   HUNDRED   EIGHTY-THREE,  ONE  HUNDRED
EIGHTY-FOUR, AND ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY-FIVE OF THIS ARTICLE.  SUCH  CREDIT,
TO  BE  COMPUTED AS HEREINAFTER PROVIDED, SHALL BE ALLOWED FOR QUALIFIED
MANUFACTURING COMPANIES PURSUANT TO SECTION ONE  HUNDRED  SEVEN  OF  THE
ECONOMIC  DEVELOPMENT  LAW.  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER, THAT THE AMOUNT OF SUCH

ALLOWABLE UNDER THIS SECTION FOR ANY TAXABLE YEAR  REDUCES  THE  TAX  TO
SUCH  AMOUNT,  ANY  AMOUNT OF CREDIT NOT DEDUCTIBLE IN SUCH TAXABLE YEAR

tive immediately, the addition, amendment and/or repeal of any  rule  or
