1   1. There shall be added interest income on obligations of any

2 state or political subdivision thereto which is not otherwise

3 exempted pursuant to other laws of this state, to the extent that

4 such interest is not included in taxable income and adjusted gross

5 income.

7 the state is prohibited from taxing because of the provisions of the

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

20              the total loss for such year, and

21         b. for carryovers and carrybacks to taxable years

22              beginning after December 31, 1980, the amount of any

23              net operating loss deduction allowed for the taxable

16  tax years beginning after December 31, 2007, and

17  ending before January 1, 2009, years to which such

18  losses may be carried back shall be limited to two (2)

19  years. For tax years beginning after December 31,

20  2008, the years to which such losses may be carried

21  back shall be determined solely by reference to

22  Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C.,

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

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

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

11  allocated in accordance with the situs of such

12  property;

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

23                  investments held to generate working capital for

24                  a unitary business enterprise shall be included

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

12                  income shall, at the option of the taxpayer, be

13                  that portion of the total net income of the

14                  taxpayer for federal income tax purposes derived

15                  from the manufacture and/or processing and sales

16                  everywhere as determined by the ratio of the

3   and 2 of this subsection, apportioned as follows:

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

5                   this subparagraph, taxable income of an insurance

6                   company for a taxable year shall be apportioned

7                   to this state by multiplying such income by a

8                   fraction, the numerator of which is the direct

9                   premiums written for insurance on property or

10                  risks in this state, and the denominator of which

11                  is the direct premiums written for insurance on

12                  property or risks everywhere. For purposes of

13                  this subsection, the term "direct premiums

14                  written" means the total amount of direct

15                  premiums written, assessments and annuity

16                  considerations as reported for the taxable year

17                  on the annual statement filed by the company with

18                  the Insurance Commissioner in the form approved

19                  by the National Association of Insurance

20                  Commissioners, or such other form as may be

21                  prescribed in lieu thereof,

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

23                  insurance company consists of premiums for

24                  reinsurance accepted by it, the taxable income of

1                   such company shall be apportioned to this state

2                   by multiplying such income by a fraction, the

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

4                   premiums written for insurance on property or

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

6                   for reinsurance accepted in respect of property

7                   or risks in this state, and the denominator of

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

9                   for insurance on property or risks everywhere,

10                  plus (d) premiums written for reinsurance

11                  accepted in respect of property or risks

12                  everywhere. For purposes of this paragraph,

13                  premiums written for reinsurance accepted in

14                  respect of property or risks in this state,

15                  whether or not otherwise determinable, may at the

16                  election of the company be determined on the

17                  basis of the proportion which premiums written

18                  for insurance accepted from companies

19                  commercially domiciled in this state bears to

20                  premiums written for reinsurance accepted from

21                  all sources, or alternatively in the proportion

22                  which the sum of the direct premiums written for

23                  insurance on property or risks in this state by

24                  each ceding company from which reinsurance is

2                  premiums written by each such ceding company for

3                  the taxable year.

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

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

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

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

8 consisting of property, payroll and sales or gross revenue

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

19 initial investment cost equaling or exceeding Two Hundred Million

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

5 factors shall be computed as follows:

6   a. the property factor is a fraction, the numerator of

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

8   tangible personal property owned or rented and used in

9   this state during the tax period and the denominator

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

11  real and tangible personal property everywhere owned

12  or rented and used during the tax period.

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

14                  allocated in paragraph 4 of this subsection,

15                  shall not be included in determining this

16                  fraction. The numerator of the fraction shall

17                  include a portion of the investment in

18                  transportation and other equipment having no

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

20                  and trailers, including machinery and equipment

21                  carried thereon, airplanes, salespersons'

22                  automobiles and other similar equipment, in the

23                  proportion that miles traveled in this state by

24                  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

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

22  unitary business but does not include officers'

23  salaries, 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 this

8                   state 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

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

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

16 tax purposes.
