A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to encourage a strong community-based banking system.
Community Savings and Investment Act of 2004 - Amends the Internal Revenue Code to establish a separate corporate income tax rate for qualified community lenders of: (1) 15 percent of the amount of taxable income over $250,000 up to $1 million; and (2) the highest corporate tax rate imposed (currently 35%) for income over $1 million. Defines "qualified community lender" as a local community bank which: (1) achieved a satisfactory record of meeting community credit needs at its most recent Federal bank examination: (2) provided not less than 60 percent of its loans to its local community; (2) meets specified community ownership requirements; and (4) has total assets of not more than $1 billion. Reduces tax rates on certain subchapter S taxable income attributable to community lender income.
Excludes from gross income distressed community banking income. Defines "distressed community banking income" as the net income of an FDA-insured bank which is derived from the active conduct of a banking business in a low-income, high unemployment community as defined by the Bank Enterprise Act of 1991.
