4            (D-17) An amount equal to the amount otherwise

7        indirectly, (i) for taxable years ending on or after
8        December 31, 2004, to a foreign person who would be a
9        member of the same unitary business group but for the
10        fact that foreign person's business activity outside
11        the United States is 80% or more of the foreign
12        person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
13        years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
14        who would be a member of the same unitary business
15        group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
16        under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
17        unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
18        required to apportion business income under different
19        subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
20        required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
21        extent that dividends were included in base income of

1        in gross income under Section 78 of the Internal

5            This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
6                (i) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
7            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person who
8            is subject in a foreign country or state, other
9            than a state which requires mandatory unitary
10            reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
11            with respect to such interest; or
12                (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
13            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
14            the taxpayer can establish, based on a
15            preponderance of the evidence, both of the
16            following:
17                    (a) the person, during the same taxable
18                year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
19                to a person that is not a related member, and
20                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the
21                interest expense between the taxpayer and the
22                person did not have as a principal purpose the
23                avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
24                pursuant to a contract or agreement that
25                reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
26                terms; or

 

 

HB5306- 6 -LRB103 37926 CES 68058 b

1                (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
2            clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
3            paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract
4            or agreement entered into at arm's-length rates
5            and terms and the principal purpose for the
6            payment is not federal or Illinois tax avoidance;
7            or
8                (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
9            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
10            the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
11            evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
12            if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
13            to the application or use of an alternative method
14            of apportionment under Section 304(f).
15                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
16            Director from making any other adjustment
17            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act
18            for any tax year beginning after the effective
19            date of this amendment provided such adjustment is
20            made pursuant to regulation adopted by the
21            Department and such regulations provide methods
22            and standards by which the Department will utilize
23            its authority under Section 404 of this Act;
24            (D-18) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
25        expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
26        computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or

 

 

HB5306- 7 -LRB103 37926 CES 68058 b

1        incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
2        years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
3        foreign person who would be a member of the same
4        unitary business group but for the fact that the
5        foreign person's business activity outside the United
6        States is 80% or more of that person's total business
7        activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
8        December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
9        the same unitary business group but for the fact that
10        the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
11        from being included in the unitary business group
12        because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
13        business income under different subsections of Section
14        304. The addition modification required by this
15        subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
16        dividends were included in base income of the unitary
17        group for the same taxable year and received by the
18        taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
19        business group (including amounts included in gross
20        income under Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal
21        Revenue Code and amounts included in gross income
22        under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code) with
23        respect to the stock of the same person to whom the
24        intangible expenses and costs were directly or
25        indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
26        sentence does not apply to the extent that the same

 

 

HB5306- 8 -LRB103 37926 CES 68058 b

1        dividends caused a reduction to the addition
2        modification required under Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) of
3        this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
4        "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,
5        losses, and costs for, or related to, the direct or
6        indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or management,
7        ownership, sale, exchange, or any other disposition of
8        intangible property; (2) losses incurred, directly or
9        indirectly, from factoring transactions or discounting
10        transactions; (3) royalty, patent, technical, and
11        copyright fees; (4) licensing fees; and (5) other
12        similar expenses and costs. For purposes of this
13        subparagraph, "intangible property" includes patents,
14        patent applications, trade names, trademarks, service
15        marks, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets, and
16        similar types of intangible assets.
17            This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
18                (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
19            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
20            indirectly, from a transaction with a person who
21            is subject in a foreign country or state, other
22            than a state which requires mandatory unitary
23            reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
24            with respect to such item; or
25                (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
26            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or

 

 

HB5306- 9 -LRB103 37926 CES 68058 b

1            indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
2            on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
3            following:
4                    (a) the person during the same taxable
5                year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
6                intangible expense or cost to a person that is
7                not a related member, and
8                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the
9                intangible expense or cost between the
10                taxpayer and the person did not have as a
11                principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
12                income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
13                or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
14                or
15                (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
16            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
17            indirectly, from a transaction with a person if
18            the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
19            evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
20            or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
21            writing to the application or use of an
22            alternative method of apportionment under Section
23            304(f);
24                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
25            Director from making any other adjustment
26            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act

 

 

HB5306- 10 -LRB103 37926 CES 68058 b

1            for any tax year beginning after the effective
2            date of this amendment provided such adjustment is
3            made pursuant to regulation adopted by the
4            Department and such regulations provide methods
5            and standards by which the Department will utilize
6            its authority under Section 404 of this Act;
7            (D-19) For taxable years ending on or after
8        December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
9        insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
10        as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
11        paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
12        a person who would be a member of the same unitary
13        business group but for the fact that the person is
14        prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
15        included in the unitary business group because he or
16        she is ordinarily required to apportion business
17        income under different subsections of Section 304. The
18        addition modification required by this subparagraph
19        shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
20        included in base income of the unitary group for the
21        same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
22        member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
23        (including amounts included in gross income under
24        Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
25        and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
26        of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the

 

 

HB5306- 11 -LRB103 37926 CES 68058 b

1        stock of the same person to whom the premiums and costs
2        were directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or
3        accrued. The preceding sentence does not apply to the
4        extent that the same dividends caused a reduction to
5        the addition modification required under Section
6        203(a)(2)(D-17) or Section 203(a)(2)(D-18) of this
7        Act;
8            (D-20) For taxable years beginning on or after
9        January 1, 2002 and ending on or before December 31,
10        2006, in the case of a distribution from a qualified
11        tuition program under Section 529 of the Internal
12        Revenue Code, other than (i) a distribution from a
13        College Savings Pool created under Section 16.5 of the
14        State Treasurer Act or (ii) a distribution from the
15        Illinois Prepaid Tuition Trust Fund, an amount equal
16        to the amount excluded from gross income under Section
17        529(c)(3)(B). For taxable years beginning on or after
18        January 1, 2007, in the case of a distribution from a

8        of in-state qualified tuition programs at least
9        annually, an amount equal to the amount excluded from
10        gross income under Section 529(c)(3)(B).
11            For the purposes of this subparagraph (D-20), a
12        qualified tuition program has made reasonable efforts
13        if it makes disclosures (which may use the term
14        "in-state program" or "in-state plan" and need not
15        specifically refer to Illinois or its qualified
16        programs by name) (i) directly to prospective
17        participants in its offering materials or makes a

10        years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person

12        group but for the fact that the person is prohibited

5            is subject in a foreign country or state, other
6            than a state which requires mandatory unitary

8            with respect to such interest; or
9                (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
10            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
11            the taxpayer can establish, based on a
12            preponderance of the evidence, both of the
13            following:
14                    (a) the person, during the same taxable
15                year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
16                to a person that is not a related member, and
17                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the
18                interest expense between the taxpayer and the
19                person did not have as a principal purpose the
20                avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
21                pursuant to a contract or agreement that
22                reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
23                terms; or
24                (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
25            clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
26            paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract

 

 

HB5306- 38 -LRB103 37926 CES 68058 b

1            or agreement entered into at arm's-length rates
2            and terms and the principal purpose for the
3            payment is not federal or Illinois tax avoidance;
4            or
5                (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
6            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
7            the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
8            evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
9            if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
10            to the application or use of an alternative method
11            of apportionment under Section 304(f).
12                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
13            Director from making any other adjustment
14            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act
15            for any tax year beginning after the effective
16            date of this amendment provided such adjustment is
17            made pursuant to regulation adopted by the
18            Department and such regulations provide methods
19            and standards by which the Department will utilize
20            its authority under Section 404 of this Act;
21            (E-13) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
22        expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
23        computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or

25        years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
26        foreign person who would be a member of the same

 

 

HB5306- 39 -LRB103 37926 CES 68058 b

1        unitary business group but for the fact that the
2        foreign person's business activity outside the United
3        States is 80% or more of that person's total business
4        activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
5        December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
6        the same unitary business group but for the fact that
7        the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
8        from being included in the unitary business group
9        because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
10        business income under different subsections of Section
11        304. The addition modification required by this
12        subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
13        dividends were included in base income of the unitary
14        group for the same taxable year and received by the
15        taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
16        business group (including amounts included in gross
17        income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the
18        Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross
19        income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
20        with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
21        the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
22        indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
23        sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
24        dividends caused a reduction to the addition
25        modification required under Section 203(b)(2)(E-12) of
26        this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term

 

 

HB5306- 40 -LRB103 37926 CES 68058 b

1        "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,

6        indirectly, from factoring transactions or discounting
7        transactions; (3) royalty, patent, technical, and

10        subparagraph, "intangible property" includes patents,
11        patent applications, trade names, trademarks, service
12        marks, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets, and
13        similar types of intangible assets.
14            This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
15                (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
16            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
17            indirectly, from a transaction with a person who
18            is subject in a foreign country or state, other
19            than a state which requires mandatory unitary
20            reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
21            with respect to such item; or
22                (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
23            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
24            indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
25            on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
26            following:

 

 

HB5306- 41 -LRB103 37926 CES 68058 b

1                    (a) the person during the same taxable
2                year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
3                intangible expense or cost to a person that is
4                not a related member, and
5                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the
6                intangible expense or cost between the
7                taxpayer and the person did not have as a
8                principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
9                income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
10                or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
11                or
12                (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
13            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
14            indirectly, from a transaction with a person if
15            the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
16            evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
17            or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
18            writing to the application or use of an
19            alternative method of apportionment under Section
20            304(f);
21                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
22            Director from making any other adjustment
23            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act
24            for any tax year beginning after the effective
25            date of this amendment provided such adjustment is
26            made pursuant to regulation adopted by the

 

 

HB5306- 42 -LRB103 37926 CES 68058 b

1            Department and such regulations provide methods
2            and standards by which the Department will utilize
3            its authority under Section 404 of this Act;
4            (E-14) For taxable years ending on or after
5        December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
6        insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
7        as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
8        paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
9        a person who would be a member of the same unitary
10        business group but for the fact that the person is
11        prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
12        included in the unitary business group because he or
13        she is ordinarily required to apportion business
14        income under different subsections of Section 304. The
15        addition modification required by this subparagraph
16        shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
17        included in base income of the unitary group for the
18        same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
19        member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
20        (including amounts included in gross income under

23        of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the
24        stock of the same person to whom the premiums and costs
25        were directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or
26        accrued. The preceding sentence does not apply to the

4        Act;
5            (E-15) For taxable years beginning after December

11        activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
12        December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
13        the same unitary business group but for the fact that
14        the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
15        from being included in the unitary business group
16        because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
17        business income under different subsections of Section
18        304. The addition modification required by this
19        subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
20        dividends were included in base income of the unitary
21        group for the same taxable year and received by the
22        taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
23        business group (including amounts included in gross

1        with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
2        the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
3        indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
4        sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
5        dividends caused a reduction to the addition
6        modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) of
7        this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
8        "intangible expenses and costs" includes: (1)
9        expenses, losses, and costs for or related to the
10        direct or indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or
11        management, ownership, sale, exchange, or any other
12        disposition of intangible property; (2) losses
13        incurred, directly or indirectly, from factoring
14        transactions or discounting transactions; (3) royalty,

21            This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
22                (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
23            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
24            indirectly, from a transaction with a person who
25            is subject in a foreign country or state, other

1            reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
2            with respect to such item; or
3                (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
4            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
5            indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
6            on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
7            following:
8                    (a) the person during the same taxable
9                year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
10                intangible expense or cost to a person that is
11                not a related member, and
12                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the
13                intangible expense or cost between the
14                taxpayer and the person did not have as a
15                principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
16                income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
17                or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
18                or
19                (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
20            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
21            indirectly, from a transaction with a person if
22            the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
23            evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
24            or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
25            writing to the application or use of an
26            alternative method of apportionment under Section

 

 

HB5306- 69 -LRB103 37926 CES 68058 b

1            304(f);
2                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
3            Director from making any other adjustment
4            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act
5            for any tax year beginning after the effective
6            date of this amendment provided such adjustment is
7            made pursuant to regulation adopted by the
8            Department and such regulations provide methods
9            and standards by which the Department will utilize
10            its authority under Section 404 of this Act;
11            (G-14) For taxable years ending on or after
12        December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
13        insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
14        as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
15        paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
16        a person who would be a member of the same unitary
17        business group but for the fact that the person is
18        prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
19        included in the unitary business group because he or
20        she is ordinarily required to apportion business
21        income under different subsections of Section 304. The
22        addition modification required by this subparagraph
23        shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
24        included in base income of the unitary group for the
25        same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a

4        of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the
5        stock of the same person to whom the premiums and costs
6        were directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or
7        accrued. The preceding sentence does not apply to the
8        extent that the same dividends caused a reduction to
9        the addition modification required under Section
10        203(c)(2)(G-12) or Section 203(c)(2)(G-13) of this
11        Act;
12            (G-15) An amount equal to the credit allowable to

20        the amount exempted shall be the interest net of bond
21        premium amortization;

12            (D-5) For taxable years 2001 and thereafter, an
13        amount equal to the bonus depreciation deduction taken
14        on the taxpayer's federal income tax return for the
15        taxable year under subsection (k) of Section 168 of
16        the Internal Revenue Code;
17            (D-6) If the taxpayer sells, transfers, abandons,

HB5306- 84 -LRB103 37926 CES 68058 b

1        under subparagraph (O) and for which the taxpayer was
2        allowed in any taxable year to make a subtraction
3        modification under subparagraph (O), then an amount
4        equal to that subtraction modification.
5            The taxpayer is required to make the addition

11        indirectly, (i) for taxable years ending on or after
12        December 31, 2004, to a foreign person who would be a

14        fact the foreign person's business activity outside
15        the United States is 80% or more of the foreign
16        person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
17        years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
18        who would be a member of the same unitary business
19        group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
20        under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
21        unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
22        required to apportion business income under different
23        subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
24        required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
25        extent that dividends were included in base income of

3        included in gross income pursuant to Sections 951
4        through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code and amounts
5        included in gross income under Section 78 of the
6        Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock of
7        the same person to whom the interest was paid,
8        accrued, or incurred.

10                (i) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
11            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person who
12            is subject in a foreign country or state, other
13            than a state which requires mandatory unitary
14            reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
15            with respect to such interest; or
16                (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
17            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
18            the taxpayer can establish, based on a
19            preponderance of the evidence, both of the
20            following:
21                    (a) the person, during the same taxable
22                year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
23                to a person that is not a related member, and
24                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the
25                interest expense between the taxpayer and the
26                person did not have as a principal purpose the

 

 

HB5306- 86 -LRB103 37926 CES 68058 b

1                avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
2                pursuant to a contract or agreement that
3                reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
4                terms; or
5                (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
6            clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
7            paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract
8            or agreement entered into at arm's-length rates
9            and terms and the principal purpose for the
10            payment is not federal or Illinois tax avoidance;
11            or
12                (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
13            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
14            the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
15            evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
16            if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
17            to the application or use of an alternative method
18            of apportionment under Section 304(f).
19                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
20            Director from making any other adjustment
21            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act
22            for any tax year beginning after the effective
23            date of this amendment provided such adjustment is
24            made pursuant to regulation adopted by the
25            Department and such regulations provide methods
26            and standards by which the Department will utilize

 

 

HB5306- 87 -LRB103 37926 CES 68058 b

1            its authority under Section 404 of this Act; and
2            (D-8) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
3        expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
4        computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
5        incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
6        years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
7        foreign person who would be a member of the same
8        unitary business group but for the fact that the
9        foreign person's business activity outside the United
10        States is 80% or more of that person's total business
11        activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
12        December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
13        the same unitary business group but for the fact that
14        the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
15        from being included in the unitary business group
16        because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
17        business income under different subsections of Section
18        304. The addition modification required by this
19        subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
20        dividends were included in base income of the unitary
21        group for the same taxable year and received by the
22        taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
23        business group (including amounts included in gross
24        income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the
25        Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross

1        with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
2        the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
3        indirectly paid, incurred or accrued. The preceding
4        sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
5        dividends caused a reduction to the addition
6        modification required under Section 203(d)(2)(D-7) of
7        this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
8        "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,
9        losses, and costs for, or related to, the direct or
10        indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or management,
11        ownership, sale, exchange, or any other disposition of
12        intangible property; (2) losses incurred, directly or
13        indirectly, from factoring transactions or discounting
14        transactions; (3) royalty, patent, technical, and

19        marks, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets, and
20        similar types of intangible assets;
21            This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
22                (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
23            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
24            indirectly, from a transaction with a person who
25            is subject in a foreign country or state, other
26            than a state which requires mandatory unitary

 

 

HB5306- 89 -LRB103 37926 CES 68058 b

1            reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
2            with respect to such item; or
3                (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
4            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
5            indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
6            on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
7            following:
8                    (a) the person during the same taxable
9                year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
10                intangible expense or cost to a person that is
11                not a related member, and
12                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the
13                intangible expense or cost between the
14                taxpayer and the person did not have as a
15                principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
16                income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
17                or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
18                or
19                (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
20            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
21            indirectly, from a transaction with a person if
22            the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
23            evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
24            or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
25            writing to the application or use of an
26            alternative method of apportionment under Section

 

 

HB5306- 90 -LRB103 37926 CES 68058 b

1            304(f);
2                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
3            Director from making any other adjustment
4            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act
5            for any tax year beginning after the effective
6            date of this amendment provided such adjustment is
7            made pursuant to regulation adopted by the
8            Department and such regulations provide methods
9            and standards by which the Department will utilize
10            its authority under Section 404 of this Act;
11            (D-9) For taxable years ending on or after
12        December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
13        insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
14        as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
15        paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
16        a person who would be a member of the same unitary
17        business group but for the fact that the person is
18        prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
19        included in the unitary business group because he or
20        she is ordinarily required to apportion business
21        income under different subsections of Section 304. The
22        addition modification required by this subparagraph
23        shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
24        included in base income of the unitary group for the
25        same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
26        member of the taxpayer's unitary business group

5        stock of the same person to whom the premiums and costs
6        were directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or
7        accrued. The preceding sentence does not apply to the
8        extent that the same dividends caused a reduction to
9        the addition modification required under Section
10        203(d)(2)(D-7) or Section 203(d)(2)(D-8) of this Act;
11            (D-10) An amount equal to the credit allowable to

22        corporation had filed a separate return for federal
23        income tax purposes for the taxable year and each
24        preceding taxable year for which it was a member of an

26        the taxpayer's separate taxable income shall be

 

 

HB5306- 104 -LRB103 37926 CES 68058 b

1        determined as if the election provided by Section
2        243(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code had been in

12        association may make an election to follow its federal
13        income tax treatment of patronage losses and
14        nonpatronage losses. In the event such election is
15        made, such losses shall be computed and carried over
16        in a manner consistent with subsection (a) of Section
17        207 of this Act and apportioned by the apportionment
18        factor reported by the cooperative on its Illinois
19        income tax return filed for the taxable year in which
20        the losses are incurred. The election shall be
21        effective for all taxable years with original returns
22        due on or after the date of the election. In addition,
23        the cooperative may file an amended return or returns,
24        as allowed under this Act, to provide that the
25        election shall be effective for losses incurred or

2        only be revoked upon approval of the Director. The
3        Department shall adopt rules setting forth
4        requirements for documenting the elections and any
5        resulting Illinois net loss and the standards to be
6        used by the Director in evaluating requests to revoke
7        elections. Public Act 96-932 is declaratory of
8        existing law;
9            (G) Subchapter S corporations. In the case of: (i)
10        a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in
11        effect an election for the taxable year under Section
12        1362 of the Internal Revenue Code, the taxable income

14        Section 1363(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, except
15        that taxable income shall take into account those
16        items which are required by Section 1363(b)(1) of the
17        Internal Revenue Code to be separately stated; and
18        (ii) a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in
19        effect a federal election to opt out of the provisions
20        of the Subchapter S Revision Act of 1982 and have
21        applied instead the prior federal Subchapter S rules
22        as in effect on July 1, 1982, the taxable income of
23        such corporation determined in accordance with the
24        federal Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1,
25        1982; and

4        required by Section 703(a)(1) to be separately stated
5        but which would be taken into account by an individual
6        in calculating his taxable income.
7        (3) Recapture of business expenses on disposition of
8    asset or business. Notwithstanding any other law to the
9    contrary, if in prior years income from an asset or
10    business has been classified as business income and in a
11    later year is demonstrated to be non-business income, then
12    all expenses, without limitation, deducted in such later
13    year and in the 2 immediately preceding taxable years
14    related to that asset or business that generated the
15    non-business income shall be added back and recaptured as
16    business income in the year of the disposition of the
17    asset or business. Such amount shall be apportioned to
18    Illinois using the greater of the apportionment fraction
19    computed for the business under Section 304 of this Act
20    for the taxable year or the average of the apportionment
21    fractions computed for the business under Section 304 of
22    this Act for the taxable year and for the 2 immediately
23    preceding taxable years.

6        Internal Revenue Code) for all property in respect of
7        which such gain was reported for the taxable year;
8        plus
9            (B) The lesser of (i) the sum of the pre-August 1,
10        1969 appreciation amounts (to the extent consisting of
11        capital gain) for all property in respect of which
12        such gain was reported for federal income tax purposes
13        for the taxable year, or (ii) the net capital gain for
14        the taxable year, reduced in either case by any amount
15        of such gain included in the amount determined under

17        (2) Pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount.
18            (A) If the fair market value of property referred
19        to in paragraph (1) was readily ascertainable on
20        August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
21        amount for such property is the lesser of (i) the
22        excess of such fair market value over the taxpayer's
23        basis (for determining gain) for such property on that
24        date (determined under the Internal Revenue Code as in
25        effect on that date), or (ii) the total gain realized

4        to in paragraph (1) was not readily ascertainable on
5        August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
6        amount for such property is that amount which bears
7        the same ratio to the total gain reported in respect of
8        the property for federal income tax purposes for the
9        taxable year, as the number of full calendar months in
10        that part of the taxpayer's holding period for the
11        property ending July 31, 1969 bears to the number of
12        full calendar months in the taxpayer's entire holding
13        period for the property.
14            (C) The Department shall prescribe such
15        regulations as may be necessary to carry out the
16        purposes of this paragraph.
 
17    (g) Double deductions. Unless specifically provided
18otherwise, nothing in this Section shall permit the same item
19to be deducted more than once.

1to enter the stream of commerce. All other non-compliant crops
2shall be disposed.
3    (b) Remediation may take place using one of the following
4options.
5        (1) Non-compliant hemp may be remediated by separating
6    and destroying non-compliant flowers, while retaining
7    stalks, leaves, and seeds.
8        (2) Non-compliant hemp may be remediated by shredding
9    the entire hemp lot to create biomass. Lots shall be kept
10    separate and shall not be combined during this process.
11    (c) The licensee, designated employee, or an approved
12representative of the Department, as the Department deems
13appropriate, shall remediate or dispose of non-compliant hemp.
14The Department may require that a representative of the

1    (f) The following procedures must be followed during the
2creation of biomass:
3        (1) The entire lot, as reported to the Department
4    shall be shredded to create a homogenous and uniform
5    biomass.
6        (2) The biomass created through this process shall be
7    resampled and retested to ensure compliance before
8    entering the stream of commerce. Biomass that fails the
9    retesting is non-compliant hemp and shall be disposed.
10    (g) Remediated biomass shall be separated from any
11compliant hemp stored in the area and clearly labeled as "hemp
12for remediation purposes". Remediated biomass shall not leave
13the labeled area until a test result showing compliance with
14the acceptable hemp THC level is received or the biomass is
15ready to be disposed.
16    (h) Remediated biomass or remediated stalks, leaves, and
17seeds shall be resampled and retested to ensure compliance
18before entering the stream of commerce. Remediated biomass or
19remediated stalks, leaves, and seeds that fail the retesting
20shall be destroyed.
21    (i) The resample must be taken by the sampling agent in a
22manner described in USDA published guidance and must meet the
23USDA requirements set forth in Sections 990.3 and 990.27 of
