The income threshold at which the maximum credit

adjust the income threshold by the percentage determined pursuant to the provisions of
section 1(f) of the Internal Revenue Code, except that in section 1(f)(3)(B), the word "2016"
shall be substituted for the word "1992." For 2018, the commissioner shall then determine
the percent change from the 12 months ending on August 31, 2016, to the 12 months ending
on August 31, 2017, and in each subsequent year, from the 12 months ending August 31,
2016, to the 12 months ending on August 31 of the year preceding the taxable year. The
income threshold as adjusted for inflation must be rounded to the nearest $10 amount. If
the amount ends in $5, the amount is rounded up to the nearest $10 amount. The
determination of the commissioner under this subdivision is not a rule under the
Administrative Procedure Act.
