The credit shall be for all full-time jobs created within a subzone, improvement subzone or expansion subzone in the taxable year.

A new full-time job is created with a qualified business if the average monthly employment for that qualified business has increased from the prior 12-month calendar year in the zone.
(d) Apportionment.--The Department of Revenue shall apportion a keystone opportunity zone job creation tax credit, keystone opportunity improvement zone job creation tax credit or a keystone opportunity expansion zone job creation tax credit for a business that is a qualified business that has not operated in a subzone, improvement subzone or expansion subzone for a full fiscal year.
(e) Credit determinations.--The keystone opportunity zone job creation tax credit, keystone opportunity improvement zone job creation tax credit or keystone opportunity expansion zone job creation tax credit shall be determined by multiplying the monthly average of all full-time jobs by the allowance.

(i) Calculation of allocation.--If the total amount of keystone opportunity zone job creation tax credits, keystone opportunity improvement zone job creation tax credits and keystone opportunity expansion zone job creation tax credits applied for by all qualified businesses under this section exceeds $1,000,000, then the credit to be received by each qualified business shall be the product of $1,000,000 multiplied by the quotient of the credit applied for by the qualified business divided by the total of all credits applied for by all qualified businesses, the algebraic equivalent of which is:
qualified business keystone opportunity zone job creation tax credit, keystone opportunity improvement zone job creation tax credit or keystone opportunity expansion zone job creation tax credit = $1,000,000 X (the amount of keystone opportunity zone job creation tax credit, keystone opportunity improvement zone job creation tax credit or keystone opportunity expansion zone job creation tax credit applied for by the qualified business/the sum of all keystone opportunity zone job creation tax credits, keystone opportunity improvement zone job creation tax credits and keystone opportunity expansion zone job creation tax credits applied for by all qualified businesses).
(1) A partner or member of a partnership or association that qualifies under this section shall be entitled to a job creation tax credit in proportion to the partner's or member's share, whether or not distributed, of the income or gain received by the partnership or association for its taxable year.
(2) A shareholder of a Pennsylvania S Corporation that qualifies under this section shall be entitled to a job creation tax credit in proportion to the shareholder's pro rata share, whether or not distributed, of the income or gain received by the corporation for its taxable year ending within or with the shareholder's taxable year.
(3) No partnership, association or Pennsylvania S Corporation, or partner, member or shareholder, may claim any other tax benefit, expense or credit for the same keystone opportunity zone job creation tax credit, keystone opportunity improvement zone job creation tax credit or keystone opportunity expansion zone job creation tax credit.
