[ See: 68 O.S. §2357] (e) An example of the application of the venture capital company credit is as follows:Example: A makes an investment in a Qualified Venture Capital Plan in 1989 of $20,000.00, receiving a tax credit of $4,000.00. In 1989, A utilizes $1,000 of the tax credit, and has available $3,000.00 for the succeeding three years. In 1990, A transfers to B $1,000.00 of the remaining credit, leaving A with a remaining credit of $2,000.00, which can be utilized in 1990 - 1992. In 1990, B utilizes $250.00 of the $1,000.00 credit. (B cannot use any of the credit for a prior year, however, B may now transfer this credit to C or to any other taxpayer if B is unable to utilize the remaining credit.) B may use the remaining $750.00 credit only in the years 1991 and 1992, the remainder of the original qualifying period. A may utilize or transfer all or any portion of A's remaining credit in the years 1990 - 1992.
