8 Federal Constitution, the State Constitution, federal laws or laws

9 of Oklahoma.

10  3. The amount of any federal net operating loss deduction shall

11 be adjusted as follows:

12         a. For carryovers and carrybacks to taxable years

13              beginning before January 1, 1981, the amount of any

14              net operating loss deduction allowed to a taxpayer for

15              federal income tax purposes shall be reduced to an

16              amount which is the same portion thereof as the loss

17              from sources within this state, as determined pursuant

18              to this section and Section 2362 of this title, for

19              the taxable year in which such loss is sustained is of

23  Section 172, with the exception that the terms "net

24  operating loss" and "taxable income" shall be replaced

6 not such items of income were actually received, shall be allocated

7 on the same basis as those items:

8   a. Income from real and tangible personal property, such

9   as rents, oil and mining production or royalties, and

10  gains or losses from sales of such property, shall be

11  allocated in accordance with the situs of such

12  property;

13  b. Income from intangible personal property, such as

14  interest, dividends, patent or copyright royalties,

15  and gains or losses from sales of such property, shall

16  be allocated in accordance with the domiciliary situs

18  (1) where such property has acquired a nonunitary

19                  business or commercial situs apart from the

20                  domicile of the taxpayer such income shall be

21                  allocated in accordance with such business or

22                  commercial situs; interest income from

11                  traded partnership, as defined by Section 7704(b)

12                  of the Internal Revenue Code, shall be allocated

14                  of such partnership's tangible property in this

15                  state to the original cost of such partnership's

16                  tangible property everywhere, as determined at

17                  the time of the sale; if more than fifty percent

18                  (50%) of the value of the partnership's assets

19                  consists of intangible assets, capital or

20                  ordinary gains or losses from the sale of an

21                  ownership interest in the partnership shall be

19  enterprise the business of which in Oklahoma consists

20  solely of marketing its products by:

21  (1) sales having a situs without this state, shipped

22                  directly to a point from without the state to a

13  taxpayer, be that portion of the total net income of

14  the taxpayer for federal income tax purposes derived

2   and 2 of this subsection, apportioned as follows:

3   (1) except as otherwise provided by division (2) of

4                   this subparagraph, taxable income of an insurance

5                   company for a taxable year shall be apportioned

6                   to this state by multiplying such income by a

7                   fraction, the numerator of which is the direct

8                   premiums written for insurance on property or

9                   risks in this state, and the denominator of which

10                  is the direct premiums written for insurance on

11                  property or risks everywhere. For purposes of

12                  this subsection, the term "direct premiums

13                  written" means the total amount of direct

14                  premiums written, assessments and annuity

15                  considerations as reported for the taxable year

16                  on the annual statement filed by the company with

18                  by the National Association of Insurance

19                  Commissioners, or such other form as may be

20                  prescribed in lieu thereof,

21  (2) if the principal source of premiums written by an

22                  insurance company consists of premiums for

23                  reinsurance accepted by it, the taxable income of

24                  such company shall be apportioned to this state

1                   by multiplying such income by a fraction, the

2                   numerator of which is the sum of (a) direct

3                   premiums written for insurance on property or

4                   risks in this state, plus (b) premiums written

5                   for reinsurance accepted in respect of property

6                   or risks in this state, and the denominator of

7                   which is the sum of (c) direct premiums written

8                   for insurance on property or risks everywhere,

9                   plus (d) premiums written for reinsurance

10                  accepted in respect of property or risks

11                  everywhere. For purposes of this paragraph,

12                  premiums written for reinsurance accepted in

13                  respect of property or risks in this state,

14                  whether or not otherwise determinable, may at the

15                  election of the company be determined on the

16                  basis of the proportion which premiums written

17                  for insurance accepted from companies

18                  commercially domiciled in Oklahoma bears to

19                  premiums written for reinsurance accepted from

20                  all sources, or alternatively in the proportion

21                  which the sum of the direct premiums written for

22                  insurance on property or risks in this state by

23                  each ceding company from which reinsurance is

24                  accepted bears to the sum of the total direct

1                  premiums written by each such ceding company for

2                  the taxable year.

3  5. The net income or loss remaining after the separate

4 allocation in paragraph 4 of this subsection, being that which is

5 derived from a unitary business enterprise, shall be apportioned to

6 this state on the basis of the arithmetical average of three factors

7 consisting of property, payroll and sales or gross revenue

8 enumerated as subparagraphs a, b and c of this paragraph. Net

9 income or loss as used in this paragraph includes that derived from

10 patent or copyright royalties, purchase discounts, and interest on

11 accounts receivable relating to or arising from a business activity,

12 the income from which is apportioned pursuant to this subsection,

13 including the sale or other disposition of such property and any

14 other property used in the unitary enterprise. Deductions used in

15 computing such net income or loss shall not include taxes based on

16 or measured by income. Provided, for corporations whose property

17 for purposes of the tax imposed by Section 2355 of this title has an

18 initial investment cost equaling or exceeding Two Hundred Million

19 Dollars ($200,000,000.00) and such investment is made on or after

20 July 1, 1997, or for corporations which expand their property or

21 facilities in this state and such expansion has an investment cost

22 equaling or exceeding Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000.00)

23 over a period not to exceed three (3) years, and such expansion is

24 commenced on or after January 1, 2000, the three factors shall be

1 apportioned with property and payroll, each comprising twenty-five

2 percent (25%) of the apportionment factor and sales comprising fifty

3 percent (50%) of the apportionment factor. The apportionment

4 factors shall be computed as follows:

5   a. The property factor is a fraction, the numerator of

6   which is the average value of the taxpayer's real and

7   tangible personal property owned or rented and used in

8   this state during the tax period and the denominator

9   of which is the average value of all the taxpayer's

10  real and tangible personal property everywhere owned

11  or rented and used during the tax period.

12  (1) Property, the income from which is separately

13                  allocated in paragraph 4 of this subsection,

14                  shall not be included in determining this

15                  fraction. The numerator of the fraction shall

16                  include a portion of the investment in

17                  transportation and other equipment having no

18                  fixed situs, such as rolling stock, buses, trucks

19                  and trailers, including machinery and equipment

20                  carried thereon, airplanes, salespersons'

21                  automobiles and other similar equipment, in the

22                  proportion that miles traveled in Oklahoma by

23                  such equipment bears to total miles traveled,

1   (2) Property owned by the taxpayer is valued at its

2                   original cost. Property rented by the taxpayer

3                   is valued at eight times the net annual rental

4                   rate. Net annual rental rate is the annual

5                   rental rate paid by the taxpayer, less any annual

6                   rental rate received by the taxpayer from

7                   subrentals,

8   (3) The average value of property shall be determined

9                   by averaging the values at the beginning and

10                  ending of the tax period but the Oklahoma Tax

11                  Commission may require the averaging of monthly

12                  values during the tax period if reasonably

13                  required to reflect properly the average value of

14                  the taxpayer's property;

15  b. The payroll factor is a fraction, the numerator of

16  which is the total compensation for services rendered

17  in the state during the tax period, and the

18  denominator of which is the total compensation for

19  services rendered everywhere during the tax period.

20  "Compensation", as used in this subsection means those

21  paid-for services to the extent related to the unitary

22  business but does not include officers' salaries,

23  wages and other compensation.

1   (1) In the case of a transportation enterprise, the

2                   numerator of the fraction shall include a portion

3                   of such expenditure in connection with employees

4                   operating equipment over a fixed route, such as

5                   railroad employees, airline pilots, or bus

6                   drivers, in this state only a part of the time,

7                   in the proportion that mileage traveled in

8                   Oklahoma bears to total mileage traveled by such

9                   employees,

10  (2) In any case the numerator of the fraction shall

11                  include a portion of such expenditures in

12                  connection with itinerant employees, such as

13                  traveling salespersons, in this state only a part

14                  of the time, in the proportion that time spent in

15                  Oklahoma bears to total time spent in furtherance

16                  of the enterprise by such employees;

17  c. The sales factor is a fraction, the numerator of which

18  is the total sales or gross revenue of the taxpayer in

19  this state during the tax period, and the denominator

20  of which is the total sales or gross revenue of the

21  taxpayer everywhere during the tax period. "Sales",

22  as used in this subsection does not include sales or

23  gross revenue which are separately allocated in

19                  the accounting procedures prescribed by the

10  In any case where the apportionment of the three factors

11 prescribed in this paragraph attributes to Oklahoma a portion of net

12 income of the enterprise out of all appropriate proportion to the

13 property owned and/or business transacted within this state, because

14 of the fact that one or more of the factors so prescribed are not

15 employed to any appreciable extent in furtherance of the enterprise;

16 or because one or more factors not so prescribed are employed to a

17 considerable extent in furtherance of the enterprise; or because of

18 other reasons, the Tax Commission is empowered to permit, after a

19 showing by taxpayer that an excessive portion of net income has been

20 attributed to Oklahoma, or require, when in its judgment an

21 insufficient portion of net income has been attributed to Oklahoma,

22 the elimination, substitution, or use of additional factors, or

23 reduction or increase in the weight of such prescribed factors.

24 Provided, however, that any such variance from such prescribed

    Req. No. 14774                                                 Page 16
1 factors which has the effect of increasing the portion of net income

2 attributable to Oklahoma must not be inherently arbitrary, and

3 application of the recomputed final apportionment to the net income

4 of the enterprise must attribute to Oklahoma only a reasonable

5 portion thereof.

7 expanded agricultural commodity processing facility in this state

8 may exclude from Oklahoma taxable income, or in the case of an

9 individual, the Oklahoma adjusted gross income, fifteen percent

10 (15%) of the investment by the owner in the new or expanded

11 agricultural commodity processing facility. For calendar year 1999,

12 and all subsequent years, the percentage, not to exceed fifteen

13 percent (15%), available to the owner of a new or expanded

14 agricultural commodity processing facility in this state claiming

15 the exemption shall be adjusted annually so that the total estimated

16 reduction in tax liability does not exceed One Million Dollars

17 ($1,000,000.00) annually. The Tax Commission shall promulgate rules

18 for determining the percentage of the investment which each eligible

19 taxpayer may exclude. The exclusion provided by this paragraph

20 shall be taken in the taxable year when the investment is made. In

21 the event the total reduction in tax liability authorized by this

22 paragraph exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in any

23 calendar year, the Tax Commission shall permit any excess over One

24 Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and shall factor such excess into

2 permitted to be excluded pursuant to the provisions of this

3 paragraph but not used in any year may be carried forward as an

4 exemption from income pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph

5 for a period not exceeding six (6) years following the year in which

6 the investment was originally made.

13 as amended by Section 1231 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment

14 Act of 2009 (P.L. No. 111-5). There shall be subtracted from

4 in computing its Oklahoma net entity income or loss pursuant to the

5 provisions of the Pass-Through Entity Tax Equity Act of 2019, and

6 (ii) the total amount of tax attributable to any resulting Oklahoma

7 net entity income has been paid. The Oklahoma Tax Commission shall

10 this paragraph, "electing pass-through entity", "indirect member",

11 and "member" shall be defined in the same manner as prescribed by

12 Section 2355.1P-2 of this title. Notwithstanding the application of

13 this paragraph, the adjusted tax basis of any ownership interest in

14 a pass-through entity for purposes of Section 2351 et seq. of this

15 title shall be equal to its adjusted tax basis for federal income

16 tax purposes.

17  B. 1. The taxable income of any corporation shall be further

18 adjusted to arrive at Oklahoma taxable income, except those

19 corporations electing treatment as provided in subchapter S of the

4 in accordance with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, 26

5 U.S.C., Section 1 et seq., in effect immediately prior to the

6 enactment of the Accelerated Cost Recovery System. The Oklahoma tax

7 basis for all such assets placed into service after December 31,

8 1981, calculated in this section shall be retained and utilized for

9 all Oklahoma income tax purposes through the final disposition of

10 such assets.

11  Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Oklahoma Income Tax

13 Code to the contrary, this subsection shall control calculation of

14 depreciation of assets placed into service after December 31, 1981,

15 and before January 1, 1983.

16  For assets placed in service and held by a corporation in which

17 accelerated cost recovery system was previously disallowed, an

18 adjustment to taxable income is required in the first taxable year

19 beginning after December 31, 1982, to reconcile the basis of such

20 assets to the basis allowed in the Internal Revenue Code. The

21 purpose of this adjustment is to equalize the basis and allowance

22 for depreciation accounts between that reported to the Internal

23 Revenue Service and that reported to Oklahoma.

9 arrive at Oklahoma taxable income for transfers of technology to

10 qualified small businesses located in Oklahoma. Such transferor

11 corporation shall be allowed an exemption from taxable income of an
