West Virginia Code
Article 13EE. Coal Severance Tax Rebate
§11-13EE-9. Failure to Keep Records of Investment Credit Property

A taxpayer who does not keep the records required for identification of investment credit property is subject to the following rules:
(1) A taxpayer is treated as having disposed of, during the taxable year, any machinery and equipment that the taxpayer cannot establish was still on hand, in this state, at the end of that year.
(2) If a taxpayer cannot establish when capital investment in new machinery and equipment property was reported for purposes of claiming this credit during the taxable year the machinery or equipment was placed in service or use, the taxpayer is treated as having placed it in service or use in the most recent prior taxable year in which similar machinery and equipment was placed in service or use, unless the taxpayer can establish that the machinery and equipment placed in service or use in the most recent taxable year is still on hand. In that event, the taxpayer will be treated as having placed the returned machinery and equipment in service or use in the next most recent taxable year.
