8    (a) In general. The business income of a person other than
9a resident shall be allocated to this State if such person's
10business income is derived solely from this State. If a person
11other than a resident derives business income from this State
12and one or more other states, then, for tax years ending on or
13before December 30, 1998, and except as otherwise provided by
14this Section, such person's business income shall be
15apportioned to this State by multiplying the income by a
16fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the property
17factor (if any), the payroll factor (if any) and 200% of the
18sales factor (if any), and the denominator of which is 4
19reduced by the number of factors other than the sales factor
20which have a denominator of zero and by an additional 2 if the
21sales factor has a denominator of zero. For tax years ending on
22or after December 31, 1998, and except as otherwise provided by

1income from this State and one or more other states shall
2compute their apportionment factor by weighting their
3property, payroll, and sales factors as provided in subsection
4(h) of this Section.
5    (1) Property factor.
6        (A) The property factor is a fraction, the numerator of
7    which is the average value of the person's real and
8    tangible personal property owned or rented and used in the

15    original cost. Property rented by the person is valued at 8
16    times the net annual rental rate. Net annual rental rate is
17    the annual rental rate paid by the person less any annual
18    rental rate received by the person from sub-rentals.
19        (C) The average value of property shall be determined
20    by averaging the values at the beginning and ending of the
21    taxable year but the Director may require the averaging of
22    monthly values during the taxable year if reasonably
23    required to reflect properly the average value of the
24    person's property.
25    (2) Payroll factor.
26        (A) The payroll factor is a fraction, the numerator of

 

 

HB3157- 3 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

2    taxable year by the person for compensation, and the
3    denominator of which is the total compensation paid
4    everywhere during the taxable year.
5        (B) Compensation is paid in this State if:
6            (i) The individual's service is performed entirely
7        within this State;
8            (ii) The individual's service is performed both
9        within and without this State, but the service
10        performed without this State is incidental to the
11        individual's service performed within this State; or
12            (iii) Some of the service is performed within this
13        State and either the base of operations, or if there is
14        no base of operations, the place from which the service
15        is directed or controlled is within this State, or the
16        base of operations or the place from which the service
17        is directed or controlled is not in any state in which
18        some part of the service is performed, but the
19        individual's residence is in this State.
20            (iv) Compensation paid to nonresident professional
21        athletes.
22            (a) General. The Illinois source income of a

3        manner during the taxable year bears to the total
4        number of duty days spent both within and without this
5        State during the taxable year.
6            (b) Travel days. Travel days that do not involve
7        either a game, practice, team meeting, or other similar

11        State.
12            (c) Definitions. For purposes of this subpart
13        (iv):

6            compete. Duty days shall be counted for the year in
7            which they occur, including where a team's
8            official pre-season training period through the
9            last game in which the team competes or is
10            scheduled to compete, occurs during more than one

9                days for any person who leaves a team during
10                this period shall end on the day that person
11                leaves the team. Where a person switches teams

14                to compete during that taxable year; and
15                    (B) during the taxable year on a date which
16                does not fall within the foregoing period
17                (e.g., participation in instructional leagues,

13            to the gross receipts of the licensee or purchaser
14            from sales or leases of items produced,
15            fabricated, manufactured, or processed within that
16            state using the patent and of patented items
17            produced within that state, divided by the total of
18            such gross receipts for all states in which the
19            patent is utilized.

12        Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C. 267, the gross
13        receipts attributable to that item shall be excluded
14        from both the numerator and the denominator of the
15        sales factor.
16        (B-2) Gross receipts from the license, sale, or other

19        (B-7) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
20    2008, receipts from the sale of broadcasting services are
21    in this State if the broadcasting services are received in
22    this State. For purposes of this paragraph (B-7), the
23    following terms have the following meanings:
24            "Advertising revenue" means consideration received
25        by the taxpayer in exchange for broadcasting services
26        or allowing the broadcasting of commercials or

 

 

HB3157- 22 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1        announcements in connection with the broadcasting of
2        film or radio programming, from sponsorships of the
3        programming, or from product placements in the
4        programming.
5            "Audience factor" means the ratio that the
6        audience or subscribers located in this State of a
7        station, a network, or a cable system bears to the
8        total audience or total subscribers for that station,
9        network, or cable system. The audience factor for film
10        or radio programming shall be determined by reference
11        to the books and records of the taxpayer or by
12        reference to published rating statistics provided the
13        method used by the taxpayer is consistently used from
14        year to year for this purpose and fairly represents the
15        taxpayer's activity in this State.
16            "Broadcast" or "broadcasting" or "broadcasting
17        services" means the transmission or provision of film
18        or radio programming, whether through the public
19        airwaves, by cable, by direct or indirect satellite
20        transmission, or by any other means of communication,
21        either through a station, a network, or a cable system.
22            "Film" or "film programming" means the broadcast
23        on television of any and all performances, events, or
24        productions, including but not limited to news,
25        sporting events, plays, stories, or other literary,
26        commercial, educational, or artistic works, either

 

 

HB3157- 23 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1        live or through the use of video tape, disc, or any
2        other type of format or medium. Each episode of a
3        series of films produced for television shall
4        constitute separate "film" notwithstanding that the
5        series relates to the same principal subject and is
6        produced during one or more tax periods.
7            "Radio" or "radio programming" means the broadcast
8        on radio of any and all performances, events, or
9        productions, including but not limited to news,
10        sporting events, plays, stories, or other literary,
11        commercial, educational, or artistic works, either
12        live or through the use of an audio tape, disc, or any
13        other format or medium. Each episode in a series of
14        radio programming produced for radio broadcast shall
15        constitute a separate "radio programming"
16        notwithstanding that the series relates to the same
17        principal subject and is produced during one or more
18        tax periods.
19                (i) In the case of advertising revenue from
20            broadcasting, the customer is the advertiser and
21            the service is received in this State if the
22            commercial domicile of the advertiser is in this
23            State.
24                (ii) In the case where film or radio
25            programming is broadcast by a station, a network,
26            or a cable system for a fee or other remuneration

 

 

HB3157- 24 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1            received from the recipient of the broadcast, the
2            portion of the service that is received in this
3            State is measured by the portion of the recipients
4            of the broadcast located in this State.
5            Accordingly, the fee or other remuneration for
6            such service that is included in the Illinois
7            numerator of the sales factor is the total of those
8            fees or other remuneration received from
9            recipients in Illinois. For purposes of this
10            paragraph, a taxpayer may determine the location
11            of the recipients of its broadcast using the
12            address of the recipient shown in its contracts
13            with the recipient or using the billing address of
14            the recipient in the taxpayer's records.
15                (iii) In the case where film or radio
16            programming is broadcast by a station, a network,
17            or a cable system for a fee or other remuneration
18            from the person providing the programming, the
19            portion of the broadcast service that is received
20            by such station, network, or cable system in this
21            State is measured by the portion of recipients of
22            the broadcast located in this State. Accordingly,
23            the amount of revenue related to such an
24            arrangement that is included in the Illinois
25            numerator of the sales factor is the total fee or
26            other total remuneration from the person providing

 

 

HB3157- 25 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1            the programming related to that broadcast
2            multiplied by the Illinois audience factor for
3            that broadcast.
4                (iv) In the case where film or radio
5            programming is provided by a taxpayer that is a
6            network or station to a customer for broadcast in
7            exchange for a fee or other remuneration from that
8            customer the broadcasting service is received at
9            the location of the office of the customer from
10            which the services were ordered in the regular
11            course of the customer's trade or business.
12            Accordingly, in such a case the revenue derived by
13            the taxpayer that is included in the taxpayer's
14            Illinois numerator of the sales factor is the
15            revenue from such customers who receive the
16            broadcasting service in Illinois.
17                (v) In the case where film or radio programming
18            is provided by a taxpayer that is not a network or
19            station to another person for broadcasting in
20            exchange for a fee or other remuneration from that
21            person, the broadcasting service is received at
22            the location of the office of the customer from
23            which the services were ordered in the regular
24            course of the customer's trade or business.
25            Accordingly, in such a case the revenue derived by
26            the taxpayer that is included in the taxpayer's

 

 

HB3157- 26 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1            Illinois numerator of the sales factor is the
2            revenue from such customers who receive the
3            broadcasting service in Illinois.
4        (C) For taxable years ending before December 31, 2008,
5    sales, other than sales governed by paragraphs (B), (B-1),
6    and (B-2), are in this State if:
7            (i) The income-producing activity is performed in
8        this State; or
9            (ii) The income-producing activity is performed
10        both within and without this State and a greater
11        proportion of the income-producing activity is
12        performed within this State than without this State,
13        based on performance costs.
14        (C-5) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
15    2008, sales, other than sales governed by paragraphs (B),
16    (B-1), (B-2), (B-5), and (B-7), are in this State if any of
17    the following criteria are met:
18            (i) Sales from the sale or lease of real property
19        are in this State if the property is located in this
20        State.
21            (ii) Sales from the lease or rental of tangible
22        personal property are in this State if the property is
23        located in this State during the rental period. Sales
24        from the lease or rental of tangible personal property
25        that is characteristically moving property, including,
26        but not limited to, motor vehicles, rolling stock,

 

 

HB3157- 27 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1        aircraft, vessels, or mobile equipment are in this
2        State to the extent that the property is used in this
3        State.
4            (iii) In the case of interest, net gains (but not
5        less than zero) and other items of income from
6        intangible personal property, the sale is in this State
7        if:
8                (a) in the case of a taxpayer who is a dealer
9            in the item of intangible personal property within
10            the meaning of Section 475 of the Internal Revenue
11            Code, the income or gain is received from a
12            customer in this State. For purposes of this
13            subparagraph, a customer is in this State if the
14            customer is an individual, trust or estate who is a
15            resident of this State and, for all other
16            customers, if the customer's commercial domicile
17            is in this State. Unless the dealer has actual
18            knowledge of the residence or commercial domicile
19            of a customer during a taxable year, the customer
20            shall be deemed to be a customer in this State if
21            the billing address of the customer, as shown in
22            the records of the dealer, is in this State; or
23                (b) in all other cases, if the
24            income-producing activity of the taxpayer is
25            performed in this State or, if the
26            income-producing activity of the taxpayer is

 

 

HB3157- 28 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1            performed both within and without this State, if a
2            greater proportion of the income-producing
3            activity of the taxpayer is performed within this
4            State than in any other state, based on performance
5            costs.
6            (iv) Sales of services are in this State if the
7        services are received in this State. For the purposes
8        of this section, gross receipts from the performance of
9        services provided to a corporation, partnership, or
10        trust may only be attributed to a state where that
11        corporation, partnership, or trust has a fixed place of
12        business. If the state where the services are received
13        is not readily determinable or is a state where the
14        corporation, partnership, or trust receiving the
15        service does not have a fixed place of business, the
16        services shall be deemed to be received at the location
17        of the office of the customer from which the services
18        were ordered in the regular course of the customer's
19        trade or business. If the ordering office cannot be
20        determined, the services shall be deemed to be received
21        at the office of the customer to which the services are
22        billed. If the taxpayer is not taxable in the state in
23        which the services are received, the sale must be
24        excluded from both the numerator and the denominator of
25        the sales factor. The Department shall adopt rules
26        prescribing where specific types of service are

 

 

HB3157- 29 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1        received, including, but not limited to, publishing,
2        and utility service.
3        (D) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
4    1995, the following items of income shall not be included
5    in the numerator or denominator of the sales factor:
6    dividends; amounts included under Section 78 of the
7    Internal Revenue Code; and Subpart F income as defined in
8    Section 952 of the Internal Revenue Code. No inference
9    shall be drawn from the enactment of this paragraph (D) in
10    construing this Section for taxable years ending before
11    December 31, 1995.
12        (E) Paragraphs (B-1) and (B-2) shall apply to tax years
13    ending on or after December 31, 1999, provided that a
14    taxpayer may elect to apply the provisions of these
15    paragraphs to prior tax years. Such election shall be made
16    in the form and manner prescribed by the Department, shall
17    be irrevocable, and shall apply to all tax years; provided
18    that, if a taxpayer's Illinois income tax liability for any
19    tax year, as assessed under Section 903 prior to January 1,
20    1999, was computed in a manner contrary to the provisions
21    of paragraphs (B-1) or (B-2), no refund shall be payable to
22    the taxpayer for that tax year to the extent such refund is
23    the result of applying the provisions of paragraph (B-1) or
24    (B-2) retroactively. In the case of a unitary business
25    group, such election shall apply to all members of such
26    group for every tax year such group is in existence, but

 

 

HB3157- 30 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1    shall not apply to any taxpayer for any period during which
2    that taxpayer is not a member of such group.
3    (b) Insurance companies.
4        (1) In general. Except as otherwise provided by
5    paragraph (2), business income of an insurance company for
6    a taxable year shall be apportioned to this State by
7    multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
8    which is the direct premiums written for insurance upon
9    property or risk in this State, and the denominator of
10    which is the direct premiums written for insurance upon
11    property or risk everywhere. For purposes of this
12    subsection, the term "direct premiums written" means the
13    total amount of direct premiums written, assessments and
14    annuity considerations as reported for the taxable year on
15    the annual statement filed by the company with the Illinois
16    Director of Insurance in the form approved by the National
17    Convention of Insurance Commissioners or such other form as
18    may be prescribed in lieu thereof.
19        (2) Reinsurance. If the principal source of premiums
20    written by an insurance company consists of premiums for
21    reinsurance accepted by it, the business income of such
22    company shall be apportioned to this State by multiplying
23    such income by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
24    sum of (i) direct premiums written for insurance upon
25    property or risk in this State, plus (ii) premiums written
26    for reinsurance accepted in respect of property or risk in

 

 

HB3157- 31 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1    this State, and the denominator of which is the sum of
2    (iii) direct premiums written for insurance upon property
3    or risk everywhere, plus (iv) premiums written for
4    reinsurance accepted in respect of property or risk
5    everywhere. For purposes of this paragraph, premiums
6    written for reinsurance accepted in respect of property or
7    risk in this State, whether or not otherwise determinable,
8    may, at the election of the company, be determined on the
9    basis of the proportion which premiums written for
10    reinsurance accepted from companies commercially domiciled
11    in Illinois bears to premiums written for reinsurance
12    accepted from all sources, or, alternatively, in the
13    proportion which the sum of the direct premiums written for
14    insurance upon property or risk in this State by each
15    ceding company from which reinsurance is accepted bears to
16    the sum of the total direct premiums written by each such
17    ceding company for the taxable year. The election made by a
18    company under this paragraph for its first taxable year
19    ending on or after December 31, 2011, shall be binding for
20    that company for that taxable year and for all subsequent
21    taxable years, and may be altered only with the written
22    permission of the Department, which shall not be
23    unreasonably withheld.
24    (c) Financial organizations.
25        (1) In general. For taxable years ending before
26    December 31, 2008, business income of a financial

 

 

HB3157- 32 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1    organization shall be apportioned to this State by
2    multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
3    which is its business income from sources within this
4    State, and the denominator of which is its business income
5    from all sources. For the purposes of this subsection, the
6    business income of a financial organization from sources
7    within this State is the sum of the amounts referred to in
8    subparagraphs (A) through (E) following, but excluding the
9    adjusted income of an international banking facility as
10    determined in paragraph (2):
11            (A) Fees, commissions or other compensation for
12        financial services rendered within this State;
13            (B) Gross profits from trading in stocks, bonds or
14        other securities managed within this State;
15            (C) Dividends, and interest from Illinois
16        customers, which are received within this State;
17            (D) Interest charged to customers at places of
18        business maintained within this State for carrying
19        debit balances of margin accounts, without deduction
20        of any costs incurred in carrying such accounts; and
21            (E) Any other gross income resulting from the
22        operation as a financial organization within this
23        State. In computing the amounts referred to in
24        paragraphs (A) through (E) of this subsection, any
25        amount received by a member of an affiliated group
26        (determined under Section 1504(a) of the Internal

 

 

HB3157- 33 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1        Revenue Code but without reference to whether any such
2        corporation is an "includible corporation" under
3        Section 1504(b) of the Internal Revenue Code) from
4        another member of such group shall be included only to
5        the extent such amount exceeds expenses of the
6        recipient directly related thereto.
7        (2) International Banking Facility. For taxable years
8    ending before December 31, 2008:
9            (A) Adjusted Income. The adjusted income of an
10        international banking facility is its income reduced
11        by the amount of the floor amount.
12            (B) Floor Amount. The floor amount shall be the
13        amount, if any, determined by multiplying the income of
14        the international banking facility by a fraction, not
15        greater than one, which is determined as follows:
16                (i) The numerator shall be:
17                The average aggregate, determined on a
18            quarterly basis, of the financial organization's
19            loans to banks in foreign countries, to foreign
20            domiciled borrowers (except where secured
21            primarily by real estate) and to foreign
22            governments and other foreign official
23            institutions, as reported for its branches,
24            agencies and offices within the state on its
25            "Consolidated Report of Condition", Schedule A,
26            Lines 2.c., 5.b., and 7.a., which was filed with

 

 

HB3157- 34 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1            the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and
2            other regulatory authorities, for the year 1980,
3            minus
4                The average aggregate, determined on a
5            quarterly basis, of such loans (other than loans of
6            an international banking facility), as reported by
7            the financial institution for its branches,
8            agencies and offices within the state, on the
9            corresponding Schedule and lines of the
10            Consolidated Report of Condition for the current
11            taxable year, provided, however, that in no case
12            shall the amount determined in this clause (the
13            subtrahend) exceed the amount determined in the
14            preceding clause (the minuend); and
15                (ii) the denominator shall be the average
16            aggregate, determined on a quarterly basis, of the
17            international banking facility's loans to banks in
18            foreign countries, to foreign domiciled borrowers
19            (except where secured primarily by real estate)
20            and to foreign governments and other foreign
21            official institutions, which were recorded in its
22            financial accounts for the current taxable year.
23            (C) Change to Consolidated Report of Condition and
24        in Qualification. In the event the Consolidated Report
25        of Condition which is filed with the Federal Deposit
26        Insurance Corporation and other regulatory authorities

 

 

HB3157- 35 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1        is altered so that the information required for
2        determining the floor amount is not found on Schedule
3        A, lines 2.c., 5.b. and 7.a., the financial institution
4        shall notify the Department and the Department may, by
5        regulations or otherwise, prescribe or authorize the
6        use of an alternative source for such information. The
7        financial institution shall also notify the Department
8        should its international banking facility fail to
9        qualify as such, in whole or in part, or should there
10        be any amendment or change to the Consolidated Report
11        of Condition, as originally filed, to the extent such
12        amendment or change alters the information used in
13        determining the floor amount.
14        (3) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
15    2008, the business income of a financial organization shall
16    be apportioned to this State by multiplying such income by
17    a fraction, the numerator of which is its gross receipts
18    from sources in this State or otherwise attributable to
19    this State's marketplace and the denominator of which is
20    its gross receipts everywhere during the taxable year.
21    "Gross receipts" for purposes of this subparagraph (3)
22    means gross income, including net taxable gain on
23    disposition of assets, including securities and money
24    market instruments, when derived from transactions and
25    activities in the regular course of the financial

2            (i) Receipts from the lease or rental of real or
3        tangible personal property are in this State if the
4        property is located in this State during the rental
5        period. Receipts from the lease or rental of tangible
6        personal property that is characteristically moving
7        property, including, but not limited to, motor

9        equipment are from sources in this State to the extent
10        that the property is used in this State.
11            (ii) Interest income, commissions, fees, gains on

21            (iv) Interest income, commissions, fees, gains on
22        disposition, and other receipts from commercial loans
23        and installment obligations that are not secured by
24        real or tangible personal property are from sources in

26        applied in this State. If it cannot be determined where

 

 

HB3157- 37 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1        the funds are to be applied, the income and receipts
2        are from sources in this State if the office of the
3        borrower from which the loan was negotiated in the
4        regular course of business is located in this State. If
5        the location of this office cannot be determined, the
6        income and receipts shall be excluded from the
7        numerator and denominator of the sales factor.

22            (viii) Receipts from investment assets and
23        activities and trading assets and activities are
24        included in the receipts factor as follows:

26            less than zero) and other income from investment

 

 

HB3157- 38 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1            assets and activities from trading assets and
2            activities shall be included in the receipts
3            factor. Investment assets and activities and
4            trading assets and activities include but are not
5            limited to: investment securities; trading account
6            assets; federal funds; securities purchased and
7            sold under agreements to resell or repurchase;
8            options; futures contracts; forward contracts;
9            notional principal contracts such as swaps;

11            respect to the investment and trading assets and
12            activities described in subparagraphs (A) and (B)
13            of this paragraph, the receipts factor shall
14            include the amounts described in such
15            subparagraphs.
16                    (A) The receipts factor shall include the
17                amount by which interest from federal funds
18                sold and securities purchased under resale
19                agreements exceeds interest expense on federal
20                funds purchased and securities sold under
21                repurchase agreements.
22                    (B) The receipts factor shall include the
23                amount by which interest, dividends, gains and
24                other income from trading assets and
25                activities, including but not limited to
26                assets and activities in the matched book, in

 

 

HB3157- 39 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1                the arbitrage book, and foreign currency
2                transactions, exceed amounts paid in lieu of
3                interest, amounts paid in lieu of dividends,
4                and losses from such assets and activities.
5                (2) The numerator of the receipts factor
6            includes interest, dividends, net gains (but not
7            less than zero), and other income from investment
8            assets and activities and from trading assets and
9            activities described in paragraph (1) of this
10            subsection that are attributable to this State.
11                    (A) The amount of interest, dividends, net
12                gains (but not less than zero), and other
13                income from investment assets and activities
14                in the investment account to be attributed to
15                this State and included in the numerator is
16                determined by multiplying all such income from
17                such assets and activities by a fraction, the
18                numerator of which is the gross income from
19                such assets and activities which are properly
20                assigned to a fixed place of business of the
21                taxpayer within this State and the denominator
22                of which is the gross income from all such
23                assets and activities.
24                    (B) The amount of interest from federal
25                funds sold and purchased and from securities
26                purchased under resale agreements and

 

 

HB3157- 40 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1                securities sold under repurchase agreements
2                attributable to this State and included in the
3                numerator is determined by multiplying the
4                amount described in subparagraph (A) of
5                paragraph (1) of this subsection from such
6                funds and such securities by a fraction, the
7                numerator of which is the gross income from
8                such funds and such securities which are
9                properly assigned to a fixed place of business
10                of the taxpayer within this State and the
11                denominator of which is the gross income from
12                all such funds and such securities.
13                    (C) The amount of interest, dividends,
14                gains, and other income from trading assets and
15                activities, including but not limited to
16                assets and activities in the matched book, in
17                the arbitrage book and foreign currency
18                transactions (but excluding amounts described
19                in subparagraphs (A) or (B) of this paragraph),
20                attributable to this State and included in the
21                numerator is determined by multiplying the
22                amount described in subparagraph (B) of
23                paragraph (1) of this subsection by a fraction,
24                the numerator of which is the gross income from
25                such trading assets and activities which are
26                properly assigned to a fixed place of business

 

 

HB3157- 41 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1                of the taxpayer within this State and the
2                denominator of which is the gross income from
3                all such assets and activities.
4                    (D) Properly assigned, for purposes of
5                this paragraph (2) of this subsection, means
6                the investment or trading asset or activity is
7                assigned to the fixed place of business with
8                which it has a preponderance of substantive
9                contacts. An investment or trading asset or
10                activity assigned by the taxpayer to a fixed
11                place of business without the State shall be
12                presumed to have been properly assigned if:
13                        (i) the taxpayer has assigned, in the
14                    regular course of its business, such asset
15                    or activity on its records to a fixed place
16                    of business consistent with federal or
17                    state regulatory requirements;
18                        (ii) such assignment on its records is
19                    based upon substantive contacts of the
20                    asset or activity to such fixed place of
21                    business; and
22                        (iii) the taxpayer uses such records
23                    reflecting assignment of such assets or
24                    activities for the filing of all state and
25                    local tax returns for which an assignment
26                    of such assets or activities to a fixed

 

 

HB3157- 42 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1                    place of business is required.
2                    (E) The presumption of proper assignment
3                of an investment or trading asset or activity
4                provided in subparagraph (D) of paragraph (2)
5                of this subsection may be rebutted upon a
6                showing by the Department, supported by a
7                preponderance of the evidence, that the
8                preponderance of substantive contacts
9                regarding such asset or activity did not occur
10                at the fixed place of business to which it was
11                assigned on the taxpayer's records. If the
12                fixed place of business that has a
13                preponderance of substantive contacts cannot
14                be determined for an investment or trading
15                asset or activity to which the presumption in
16                subparagraph (D) of paragraph (2) of this
17                subsection does not apply or with respect to
18                which that presumption has been rebutted, that
19                asset or activity is properly assigned to the
20                state in which the taxpayer's commercial
21                domicile is located. For purposes of this
22                subparagraph (E), it shall be presumed,
23                subject to rebuttal, that taxpayer's
24                commercial domicile is in the state of the
25                United States or the District of Columbia to
26                which the greatest number of employees are

 

 

HB3157- 43 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1                regularly connected with the management of the
2                investment or trading income or out of which
3                they are working, irrespective of where the
4                services of such employees are performed, as of
5                the last day of the taxable year.

7        (5) (Blank).
8    (c-1) Federally regulated exchanges. For taxable years
9ending on or after December 31, 2012, business income of a
10federally regulated exchange shall, at the option of the
11federally regulated exchange, be apportioned to this State by
12multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of which
13is its business income from sources within this State, and the
14denominator of which is its business income from all sources.
15For purposes of this subsection, the business income within
16this State of a federally regulated exchange is the sum of the
17following:
18        (1) Receipts attributable to transactions executed on
19    a physical trading floor if that physical trading floor is
20    located in this State.
21        (2) Receipts attributable to all other matching,
22    execution, or clearing transactions, including without
23    limitation receipts from the provision of matching,
24    execution, or clearing services to another entity,
25    multiplied by (i) for taxable years ending on or after
26    December 31, 2012 but before December 31, 2013, 63.77%; and

 

 

HB3157- 44 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1    (ii) for taxable years ending on or after December 31,
2    2013, 27.54%.
3        (3) All other receipts not governed by subparagraphs
4    (1) or (2) of this subsection (c-1), to the extent the
5    receipts would be characterized as "sales in this State"
6    under item (3) of subsection (a) of this Section.
7    "Federally regulated exchange" means (i) a "registered
8entity" within the meaning of 7 U.S.C. Section 1a(40)(A), (B),
9or (C), (ii) an "exchange" or "clearing agency" within the
10meaning of 15 U.S.C. Section 78c (a)(1) or (23), (iii) any such
11entities regulated under any successor regulatory structure to
12the foregoing, and (iv) all taxpayers who are members of the
13same unitary business group as a federally regulated exchange,
14determined without regard to the prohibition in Section
151501(a)(27) of this Act against including in a unitary business
16group taxpayers who are ordinarily required to apportion
17business income under different subsections of this Section;
18provided that this subparagraph (iv) shall apply only if 50% or
19more of the business receipts of the unitary business group
20determined by application of this subparagraph (iv) for the
21taxable year are attributable to the matching, execution, or
22clearing of transactions conducted by an entity described in
23subparagraph (i), (ii), or (iii) of this paragraph.
24    In no event shall the Illinois apportionment percentage
25computed in accordance with this subsection (c-1) for any
26taxpayer for any tax year be less than the Illinois

 

 

HB3157- 45 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1apportionment percentage computed under this subsection (c-1)
2for that taxpayer for the first full tax year ending on or
3after December 31, 2013 for which this subsection (c-1) applied
4to the taxpayer.
5    (d) Transportation services. For taxable years ending
6before December 31, 2008, business income derived from
7furnishing transportation services shall be apportioned to
8this State in accordance with paragraphs (1) and (2):
9        (1) Such business income (other than that derived from
10    transportation by pipeline) shall be apportioned to this
11    State by multiplying such income by a fraction, the
12    numerator of which is the revenue miles of the person in
13    this State, and the denominator of which is the revenue
14    miles of the person everywhere. For purposes of this
15    paragraph, a revenue mile is the transportation of 1
16    passenger or 1 net ton of freight the distance of 1 mile
17    for a consideration. Where a person is engaged in the
18    transportation of both passengers and freight, the
19    fraction above referred to shall be determined by means of
20    an average of the passenger revenue mile fraction and the
21    freight revenue mile fraction, weighted to reflect the
22    person's
23            (A) relative railway operating income from total
24        passenger and total freight service, as reported to the
25        Interstate Commerce Commission, in the case of
26        transportation by railroad, and

 

 

HB3157- 46 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1            (B) relative gross receipts from passenger and
2        freight transportation, in case of transportation
3        other than by railroad.
4        (2) Such business income derived from transportation
5    by pipeline shall be apportioned to this State by
6    multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
7    which is the revenue miles of the person in this State, and
8    the denominator of which is the revenue miles of the person
9    everywhere. For the purposes of this paragraph, a revenue
10    mile is the transportation by pipeline of 1 barrel of oil,
11    1,000 cubic feet of gas, or of any specified quantity of
12    any other substance, the distance of 1 mile for a
13    consideration.
14        (3) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
15    2008, business income derived from providing
16    transportation services other than airline services shall
17    be apportioned to this State by using a fraction, (a) the
18    numerator of which shall be (i) all receipts from any
19    movement or shipment of people, goods, mail, oil, gas, or
20    any other substance (other than by airline) that both
21    originates and terminates in this State, plus (ii) that
22    portion of the person's gross receipts from movements or
23    shipments of people, goods, mail, oil, gas, or any other
24    substance (other than by airline) that originates in one
25    state or jurisdiction and terminates in another state or
26    jurisdiction, that is determined by the ratio that the

 

 

HB3157- 47 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1    miles traveled in this State bears to total miles
2    everywhere and (b) the denominator of which shall be all
3    revenue derived from the movement or shipment of people,
4    goods, mail, oil, gas, or any other substance (other than
5    by airline). Where a taxpayer is engaged in the
6    transportation of both passengers and freight, the
7    fraction above referred to shall first be determined
8    separately for passenger miles and freight miles. Then an
9    average of the passenger miles fraction and the freight
10    miles fraction shall be weighted to reflect the taxpayer's:
11            (A) relative railway operating income from total
12        passenger and total freight service, as reported to the
13        Surface Transportation Board, in the case of
14        transportation by railroad; and
15            (B) relative gross receipts from passenger and
16        freight transportation, in case of transportation
17        other than by railroad.
18        (4) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
19    2008, business income derived from furnishing airline
20    transportation services shall be apportioned to this State
21    by multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
22    which is the revenue miles of the person in this State, and
23    the denominator of which is the revenue miles of the person
24    everywhere. For purposes of this paragraph, a revenue mile
25    is the transportation of one passenger or one net ton of
26    freight the distance of one mile for a consideration. If a

 

 

HB3157- 48 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1    person is engaged in the transportation of both passengers
2    and freight, the fraction above referred to shall be
3    determined by means of an average of the passenger revenue
4    mile fraction and the freight revenue mile fraction,
5    weighted to reflect the person's relative gross receipts
6    from passenger and freight airline transportation.
7    (e) Combined apportionment. Where 2 or more persons are
8engaged in a unitary business as described in subsection
9(a)(27) of Section 1501, a part of which is conducted in this
10State by one or more members of the group, the business income
11attributable to this State by any such member or members shall
12be apportioned by means of the combined apportionment method.
13    (f) Alternative allocation. If the allocation and
14apportionment provisions of subsections (a) through (e) and of
15subsection (h) do not, for taxable years ending before December
1631, 2008, fairly represent the extent of a person's business
17activity in this State, or, for taxable years ending on or
18after December 31, 2008, fairly represent the market for the
19person's goods, services, or other sources of business income,
20the person may petition for, or the Director may, without a
21petition, permit or require, in respect of all or any part of
22the person's business activity, if reasonable:
23        (1) Separate accounting;
24        (2) The exclusion of any one or more factors;
25        (3) The inclusion of one or more additional factors
26    which will fairly represent the person's business

 

 

HB3157- 49 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1    activities or market in this State; or
2        (4) The employment of any other method to effectuate an
3    equitable allocation and apportionment of the person's
4    business income.
5    (g) Cross reference. For allocation of business income by
6residents, see Section 301(a).
7    (h) For tax years ending on or after December 31, 1998, the
8apportionment factor of persons who apportion their business
9income to this State under subsection (a) shall be equal to:
10        (1) for tax years ending on or after December 31, 1998
11    and before December 31, 1999, 16 2/3% of the property
12    factor plus 16 2/3% of the payroll factor plus 66 2/3% of
13    the sales factor;
14        (2) for tax years ending on or after December 31, 1999
15    and before December 31, 2000, 8 1/3% of the property factor
16    plus 8 1/3% of the payroll factor plus 83 1/3% of the sales
17    factor;
18        (3) for tax years ending on or after December 31, 2000,
19    the sales factor.
20If, in any tax year ending on or after December 31, 1998 and
21before December 31, 2000, the denominator of the payroll,
22property, or sales factor is zero, the apportionment factor
23computed in paragraph (1) or (2) of this subsection for that
24year shall be divided by an amount equal to 100% minus the
25percentage weight given to each factor whose denominator is
26equal to zero.

5defined in Section 1501(a)(11.5) of this Act, that is
6distributable to a nonresident partner shall be treated as
7nonbusiness income and shall be allocated to the partner's
8state of residence (in the case of an individual) or commercial
9domicile (in the case of any other person). However, any income
10distributable to a nonresident partner shall be treated as

14        December 31, 2009, they may elect to file separate
15        returns under this Act for such taxable year. The
16        election under this paragraph must be made on or before

1            Code of Illinois and applied against a debt of
2            either spouse without regard to the amount of the
3            overpayment attributable to the other spouse; and
4            (C) if the federal income tax liability of either
5        spouse is determined on a separate federal income tax
6        return, they shall file separate returns under this
7        Act.
8        (2) If neither spouse is required to file a federal
9    income tax return and either or both are required to file a
10    return under this Act, they may elect to file separate or
11    joint returns and pursuant to such election their
12    liabilities shall be separate or joint and several.
13        (3) If either husband or wife is a resident and the
14    other is a nonresident, they shall file separate returns in
15    this State on such forms as may be required by the
16    Department in which event their tax liabilities shall be
17    separate; but if they file a joint federal income tax
18    return for a taxable year, they may elect to determine
19    their joint net income and file a joint return for that
20    taxable year under the provisions of paragraph (1) of this
21    subsection as if both were residents and in such case,
22    their liabilities shall be joint and several.
23        (4) Innocent spouses.
24            (A) However, for tax liabilities arising and paid
25        prior to August 13, 1999, an innocent spouse shall be
26        relieved of liability for tax (including interest and

 

 

HB3157- 60 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1        penalties) for any taxable year for which a joint
2        return has been made, upon submission of proof that the
3        Internal Revenue Service has made a determination
4        under Section 6013(e) of the Internal Revenue Code, for
5        the same taxable year, which determination relieved
6        the spouse from liability for federal income taxes. If
7        there is no federal income tax liability at issue for
8        the same taxable year, the Department shall rely on the
9        provisions of Section 6013(e) to determine whether the
10        person requesting innocent spouse abatement of tax,
11        penalty, and interest is entitled to that relief.
12            (B) For tax liabilities arising on and after August
13        13, 1999 or which arose prior to that date, but remain
14        unpaid as of that date, if an individual who filed a
15        joint return for any taxable year has made an election
16        under this paragraph, the individual's liability for
17        any tax shown on the joint return shall not exceed the
18        individual's separate return amount and the
19        individual's liability for any deficiency assessed for
20        that taxable year shall not exceed the portion of the
21        deficiency properly allocable to the individual. For
22        purposes of this paragraph:
23                (i) An election properly made pursuant to
24            Section 6015 of the Internal Revenue Code shall
25            constitute an election under this paragraph,
26            provided that the election shall not be effective

 

 

HB3157- 61 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1            until the individual has notified the Department
2            of the election in the form and manner prescribed
3            by the Department.
4                (ii) If no election has been made under Section
5            6015, the individual may make an election under
6            this paragraph in the form and manner prescribed by
7            the Department, provided that no election may be
8            made if the Department finds that assets were
9            transferred between individuals filing a joint
10            return as part of a scheme by such individuals to
11            avoid payment of Illinois income tax and the
12            election shall not eliminate the individual's
13            liability for any portion of a deficiency
14            attributable to an error on the return of which the
15            individual had actual knowledge as of the date of
16            filing.
17                (iii) In determining the separate return
18            amount or portion of any deficiency attributable
19            to an individual, the Department shall follow the
20            provisions in subsections (c) and (d) of Section
21            6015 of the Internal Revenue Code.
22                (iv) In determining the validity of an
23            individual's election under subparagraph (ii) and
24            in determining an electing individual's separate
25            return amount or portion of any deficiency under
26            subparagraph (iii), any determination made by the

 

 

HB3157- 62 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1            Secretary of the Treasury, by the United States Tax
2            Court on petition for review of a determination by
3            the Secretary of the Treasury, or on appeal from
4            the United States Tax Court under Section 6015 of
5            the Internal Revenue Code regarding criteria for
6            eligibility or under subsection (d) of Section
7            6015 of the Internal Revenue Code regarding the
8            allocation of any item of income, deduction,
9            payment, or credit between an individual making
10            the federal election and that individual's spouse
11            shall be conclusively presumed to be correct. With
12            respect to any item that is not the subject of a
13            determination by the Secretary of the Treasury or
14            the federal courts, in any proceeding involving
15            this subsection, the individual making the
16            election shall have the burden of proof with
17            respect to any item except that the Department
18            shall have the burden of proof with respect to
19            items in subdivision (ii).
20                (v) Any election made by an individual under
21            this subsection shall apply to all years for which
22            that individual and the spouse named in the
23            election have filed a joint return.

4            Department has notified the electing individual in
5            writing that the election is invalid or of the
6            portion of the liability the Department has
7            allocated to the electing individual. Within 60
8            days (150 days if the individual is outside the
9            United States) after the issuance of such
10            notification, the individual may file a written
11            protest of the denial of the election or of the
12            Department's determination of the liability
13            allocated to him or her and shall be granted a
14            hearing within the Department under the provisions
15            of Section 908. If a protest is filed, the
16            Department shall take no collection action against
17            the electing individual until the decision
18            regarding the protest has become final under
19            subsection (d) of Section 908 or, if
20            administrative review of the Department's decision
21            is requested under Section 1201, until the
22            decision of the court becomes final.
23    (d) Partnerships. Every partnership having any base income

9and before December 31, 1993, taxpayers that are corporations
10(other than Subchapter S corporations) having the same taxable
11year and that are members of the same unitary business group
12may elect to be treated as one taxpayer for purposes of any
13original return, amended return which includes the same
14taxpayers of the unitary group which joined in the election to
15file the original return, extension, claim for refund,
16assessment, collection and payment and determination of the
17group's tax liability under this Act. This subsection (e) does

15under Section 1501 (a)(16) of this Act, to file composite
16individual income tax returns reflecting the composite income
17of such individuals allocable to Illinois and to make composite

21income from partnerships, Subchapter S corporations, insurance
22businesses organized under a Lloyds plan of operation, or
23limited liability companies that are treated as partnership

12                receivables originated by a member of the
13                affiliated group have been transferred, to the

14                affiliated group may not exceed 20% of the
15                total assets of the corporation at any time
16                during the tax year; and
17                    (d) more than 50% of all interest-bearing
18                obligations of the affiliated group payable to

7        (a) of Section 904, subsection (e) of Section 909, or

16        does not fall within the definition of a "financial
17        organization" under the Proposed Regulations issued by
18        the Department of Revenue on July 19, 1996, may

20        for all of those years as though the Proposed
21        Regulations had been lawfully promulgated, adopted,

18            of the taxpayer whose claims he or she is
19            preparing.
20        (27) Unitary business group.
21            (A) The term "unitary business group" means a group
22        of persons related through common ownership whose
23        business activities are integrated with, dependent
24        upon and contribute to each other. The group will not
25        include those members whose business activity outside
26        the United States is 80% or more of any such member's

 

 

HB3157- 87 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1        total business activity; for purposes of this
2        paragraph and clause (a)(3)(B)(ii) of Section 304,
3        business activity within the United States shall be
4        measured by means of the factors ordinarily applicable
5        under subsections (a), (b), (c), (d), or (h) of Section
6        304 except that, in the case of members ordinarily
7        required to apportion business income by means of the 3
8        factor formula of property, payroll and sales
9        specified in subsection (a) of Section 304, including
10        the formula as weighted in subsection (h) of Section
11        304, such members shall not use the sales factor in the
12        computation and the results of the property and payroll
13        factor computations of subsection (a) of Section 304
14        shall be divided by 2 (by one if either the property or
15        payroll factor has a denominator of zero). The
16        computation required by the preceding sentence shall,
17        in each case, involve the division of the member's
18        property, payroll, or revenue miles in the United
19        States, insurance premiums on property or risk in the
20        United States, or financial organization business
21        income from sources within the United States, as the
22        case may be, by the respective worldwide figures for
23        such items. For taxable years ending prior to December
24        31, 2013, common Common ownership in the case of
25        corporations is the direct or indirect control or
26        ownership of more than 50% of the outstanding voting

 

 

HB3157- 88 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1        stock of the persons carrying on unitary business
2        activity. For taxable years ending on or after December
3        31, 2013, common ownership is a direct or indirect
4        ownership of an interest in the taxpayer by any person
5        which, by itself or together with any agreement or
6        arrangement with any other person with a direct or
7        indirect ownership interest in the taxpayer, allows
8        that person, or any related party of that person, to
9        control the business activities of the taxpayer;
10        provided that, for purposes of this provision, a
11        "related party" of a person means: (i) any other person
12        who is a member of the same unitary business group as
13        that person, determined without regard to the
14        prohibitions against including in a unitary business
15        group persons conducting 80% or more of their business
16        activities outside of the United States or persons
17        apportioning business income under different
18        subsections of Section 304 of this Act, (ii) any other
19        person who would be disallowed a deduction for losses
20        in transactions with that person by paragraphs (b),
21        (c), and (f)(1) of Section 267 of the Internal Revenue
22        Code by virtue of being a related taxpayer, and (iii)
23        if that person is a partnership, any of its partners.
24        Unitary business activity can ordinarily be
25        illustrated where the activities of the members are:
26        (1) in the same general line (such as manufacturing,

 

 

HB3157- 89 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1        wholesaling, retailing of tangible personal property,
2        insurance, transportation or finance); or (2) are
3        steps in a vertically structured enterprise or process
4        (such as the steps involved in the production of
5        natural resources, which might include exploration,
6        mining, refining, and marketing); and, in either
7        instance, the members are functionally integrated
8        through the exercise of strong centralized management
9        (where, for example, authority over such matters as
10        purchasing, financing, tax compliance, product line,
11        personnel, marketing and capital investment is not
12        left to each member).
13            (B) In no event, shall any unitary business group
14        include members which are ordinarily required to
15        apportion business income under different subsections
16        of Section 304 except that for tax years ending on or
17        after December 31, 1987 this prohibition shall not
18        apply to a holding company that would otherwise be a
19        member of a unitary business group with taxpayers that
20        apportion business income under any of subsections
21        (b), (c), (c-1), or (d) of Section 304. If a unitary
22        business group would, but for the preceding sentence,
23        include members that are ordinarily required to
24        apportion business income under different subsections
25        of Section 304, then for each subsection of Section 304
26        for which there are two or more members, there shall be

 

 

HB3157- 90 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1        a separate unitary business group composed of such
2        members. For purposes of the preceding two sentences, a
3        member is "ordinarily required to apportion business
4        income" under a particular subsection of Section 304 if
5        it would be required to use the apportionment method
6        prescribed by such subsection except for the fact that
7        it derives business income solely from Illinois. As
8        used in this paragraph, the phrase "United States"
9        means only the 50 states and the District of Columbia,
10        but does not include any territory or possession of the
11        United States or any area over which the United States
12        has asserted jurisdiction or claimed exclusive rights
13        with respect to the exploration for or exploitation of
14        natural resources.
15            (C) Holding companies.
16                (i) For purposes of this subparagraph, a
17            "holding company" is a corporation (other than a
18            corporation that is a financial organization under
19            paragraph (8) of this subsection (a) of Section
20            1501 because it is a bank holding company under the
21            provisions of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956
22            (12 U.S.C. 1841, et seq.) or because it is owned by
23            a bank or a bank holding company) that owns a
24            controlling interest in one or more other
25            taxpayers ("controlled taxpayers"); that, during
26            the period that includes the taxable year and the 2

 

 

HB3157- 91 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1            immediately preceding taxable years or, if the
2            corporation was formed during the current or
3            immediately preceding taxable year, the taxable
4            years in which the corporation has been in
5            existence, derived substantially all its gross
6            income from dividends, interest, rents, royalties,
7            fees or other charges received from controlled
8            taxpayers for the provision of services, and gains
9            on the sale or other disposition of interests in
10            controlled taxpayers or in property leased or
11            licensed to controlled taxpayers or used by the
12            taxpayer in providing services to controlled
13            taxpayers; and that incurs no substantial expenses
14            other than expenses (including interest and other
15            costs of borrowing) incurred in connection with
16            the acquisition and holding of interests in
17            controlled taxpayers and in the provision of
18            services to controlled taxpayers or in the leasing
19            or licensing of property to controlled taxpayers.
20                (ii) The income of a holding company which is a
21            member of more than one unitary business group
22            shall be included in each unitary business group of
23            which it is a member on a pro rata basis, by
24            including in each unitary business group that
25            portion of the base income of the holding company
26            that bears the same proportion to the total base

 

 

HB3157- 92 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1            income of the holding company as the gross receipts
2            of the unitary business group bears to the combined
3            gross receipts of all unitary business groups (in
4            both cases without regard to the holding company)
5            or on any other reasonable basis, consistently
6            applied.
7                (iii) A holding company shall apportion its
8            business income under the subsection of Section
9            304 used by the other members of its unitary
10            business group. The apportionment factors of a
11            holding company which would be a member of more
12            than one unitary business group shall be included
13            with the apportionment factors of each unitary
14            business group of which it is a member on a pro
15            rata basis using the same method used in clause
16            (ii).
17                (iv) The provisions of this subparagraph (C)
18            are intended to clarify existing law.
19            (D) If including the base income and factors of a
20        holding company in more than one unitary business group
21        under subparagraph (C) does not fairly reflect the
22        degree of integration between the holding company and
23        one or more of the unitary business groups, the
24        dependence of the holding company and one or more of
25        the unitary business groups upon each other, or the
26        contributions between the holding company and one or

 

 

HB3157- 93 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1        more of the unitary business groups, the holding
2        company may petition the Director, under the
3        procedures provided under Section 304(f), for
4        permission to include all base income and factors of
5        the holding company only with members of a unitary
6        business group apportioning their business income
7        under one subsection of subsections (a), (b), (c), or
8        (d) of Section 304. If the petition is granted, the
9        holding company shall be included in a unitary business
10        group only with persons apportioning their business
11        income under the selected subsection of Section 304
12        until the Director grants a petition of the holding
13        company either to be included in more than one unitary
14        business group under subparagraph (C) or to include its
15        base income and factors only with members of a unitary
16        business group apportioning their business income
17        under a different subsection of Section 304.
18            (E) If the unitary business group members'
19        accounting periods differ, the common parent's
20        accounting period or, if there is no common parent, the
21        accounting period of the member that is expected to
22        have, on a recurring basis, the greatest Illinois
23        income tax liability must be used to determine whether
24        to use the apportionment method provided in subsection
25        (a) or subsection (h) of Section 304. The prohibition
26        against membership in a unitary business group for

 

 

HB3157- 94 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1        taxpayers ordinarily required to apportion income
2        under different subsections of Section 304 does not
3        apply to taxpayers required to apportion income under
4        subsection (a) and subsection (h) of Section 304. The
5        provisions of this amendatory Act of 1998 apply to tax
6        years ending on or after December 31, 1998.
7        (28) Subchapter S corporation. The term "Subchapter S
8    corporation" means a corporation for which there is in
9    effect an election under Section 1362 of the Internal
10    Revenue Code, or for which there is a federal election to
11    opt out of the provisions of the Subchapter S Revision Act
12    of 1982 and have applied instead the prior federal
13    Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1, 1982.
14        (30) Foreign person. The term "foreign person" means
15    any person who is a nonresident alien individual and any
16    nonindividual entity, regardless of where created or
17    organized, whose business activity outside the United
18    States is 80% or more of the entity's total business
19    activity.
 
20    (b) Other definitions.
21        (1) Words denoting number, gender, and so forth, when
22    used in this Act, where not otherwise distinctly expressed
23    or manifestly incompatible with the intent thereof:
24            (A) Words importing the singular include and apply

HB3157- 95 -LRB098 10600 HLH 40863 b

1            (B) Words importing the plural include the
2        singular; and
3            (C) Words importing the masculine gender include
4        the feminine as well.

6    and assigns. The word "company" or "association", when used
7    in reference to a corporation, shall be deemed to embrace
8    the words "successors and assigns of such company or
9    association", and in like manner as if these last-named
10    words, or words of similar import, were expressed.
11        (3) Other terms. Any term used in any Section of this
12    Act with respect to the application of, or in connection
13    with, the provisions of any other Section of this Act shall
14    have the same meaning as in such other Section.
