11
12 (1) except as otherwise provided by division (2) of
12
13 this subparagraph, taxable income of an insurance
13
14 company for a taxable year shall be apportioned

8
9 such company shall be apportioned to this state
9
10 by multiplying such income by a fraction, the

11 numerator of which is the sum of (a) direct
11
12 premiums written for insurance on property or

12
13 allocation in paragraph 4 of this subsection, being that which is
13
14 derived from a unitary business enterprise, shall be apportioned to
14
15 this state on the basis of the arithmetical average of three factors
15
16 consisting of property, payroll and sales or gross revenue
16
17 enumerated as subparagraphs a, b and c of this paragraph. Net
17
18 income or loss as used in this paragraph includes that derived from
18
19 patent or copyright royalties, purchase discounts, and interest on
19
20 accounts receivable relating to or arising from a business activity,
20
21 the income from which is apportioned pursuant to this subsection,
21
22 including the sale or other disposition of such property and any
22
23 other property used in the unitary enterprise. Deductions used in
23
24 computing such net income or loss shall not include taxes based on
24
Req. No. 2391 Page 10
1 or measured by income. Provided, for corporations whose property
1
2 for purposes of the tax imposed by Section 2355 of this title has an
2

3
4 Dollars ($200,000,000.00) and such investment is made on or after
4
5 July 1, 1997, or for corporations which expand their property or
5
6 facilities in this state and such expansion has an investment cost
6
7 equaling or exceeding Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000.00)
7
8 over a period not to exceed three (3) years, and such expansion is
8
9 commenced on or after January 1, 2000, the three factors shall be
9
10 apportioned with property and payroll, each comprising twenty-five
10
11 percent (25%) of the apportionment factor and sales comprising fifty
11
12 percent (50%) of the apportionment factor. The apportionment
12
13 factors shall be computed as follows:
13
14 a. The property factor is a fraction, the numerator of
14
15 which is the average value of the taxpayer's real and
15
16 tangible personal property owned or rented and used in
16
17 this state during the tax period and the denominator
17
18 of which is the average value of all the taxpayer's
18
19 real and tangible personal property everywhere owned
19
20 or rented and used during the tax period.
20
21 (1) Property, the income from which is separately
21
22 allocated in paragraph 4 of this subsection,
22
23 shall not be included in determining this
23
24 fraction. The numerator of the fraction shall
24
Req. No. 2391 Page 11
1 include a portion of the investment in
1
2 transportation and other equipment having no
2
3 fixed situs, such as rolling stock, buses, trucks
3
4 and trailers, including machinery and equipment
4
5 carried thereon, airplanes, salespersons'
5
6 automobiles and other similar equipment, in the
6
7 proportion that miles traveled in Oklahoma this
7
8 state by such equipment bears to total miles
8
9 traveled,
9
10 (2) Property owned by the taxpayer is valued at its
10
11 original cost. Property rented by the taxpayer
11
12 is valued at eight times the net annual rental
12
13 rate. Net annual rental rate is the annual
13
14 rental rate paid by the taxpayer, less any annual
14
15 rental rate received by the taxpayer from
15
16 subrentals,
16
17 (3) The average value of property shall be determined
17
18 by averaging the values at the beginning and
18
19 ending of the tax period but the Oklahoma Tax
19
20 Commission may require the averaging of monthly
20
21 values during the tax period if reasonably
21
22 required to reflect properly the average value of
22
23 the taxpayer's property;
23
24
24
Req. No. 2391 Page 12
1 b. The payroll factor is a fraction, the numerator of
1
2 which is the total compensation for services rendered
2
3 in the state during the tax period, and the
3
4 denominator of which is the total compensation for
4
5 services rendered everywhere during the tax period.
5
6 "Compensation", as used in this subsection paragraph,
6
7 means those paid-for services to the extent related to
7
8 the unitary business but does not include officers'
8
9 salaries, wages and other compensation.
9
10 (1) In the case of a transportation enterprise, the
10
11 numerator of the fraction shall include a portion
11
12 of such expenditure in connection with employees
12
13 operating equipment over a fixed route, such as
13
14 railroad employees, airline pilots, or bus
14
15 drivers, in this state only a part of the time,
15
16 in the proportion that mileage traveled in
16
17 Oklahoma this state bears to total mileage
17
18 traveled by such employees,
18
19 (2) In any case the numerator of the fraction shall
19
20 include a portion of such expenditures in
20
21 connection with itinerant employees, such as
21
22 traveling salespersons, in this state only a part
22
23 of the time, in the proportion that time spent in
23
24
24
Req. No. 2391 Page 13
1 Oklahoma this state bears to total time spent in
1
2 furtherance of the enterprise by such employees;
2
3 c. The sales factor is a fraction, the numerator of which
3
4 is the total sales or gross revenue of the taxpayer in
4
5 this state during the tax period, and the denominator
5
6 of which is the total sales or gross revenue of the
6
7 taxpayer everywhere during the tax period. "Sales",
7
8 as used in this subsection, does not include sales or
8
9 gross revenue which are separately allocated in
9
10 paragraph 4 of this subsection.
10
11 (1) Sales of tangible personal property have a situs
11
12 in this state if the property is delivered or
12
13 shipped to a purchaser other than the United
13
14 States government, within this state regardless
14
15 of the FOB Freight on Board (FOB) point or other
15
16 conditions of the sale; or the property is
16
17 shipped from an office, store, warehouse, factory
17
18 or other place of storage in this state and (a)
18
19 the purchaser is the United States government or
19
20 (b) the taxpayer is not doing business in the
20
21 state of the destination of the shipment.
21
22 (2) In the case of a railroad or interurban railway
22
23 enterprise, the numerator of the fraction shall
23
24 not be less than the allocation of revenues to
24
Req. No. 2391 Page 14

1
2 Corporation Commission.
2
3 (3) In the case of an airline, truck or bus
3
4 enterprise or freight car, tank car, refrigerator
4
5 car or other railroad equipment enterprise, the
5
6 numerator of the fraction shall include a portion
6
7 of revenue from interstate transportation in the
7
8 proportion that interstate mileage traveled in
8
9 Oklahoma this state bears to total interstate
9
10 mileage traveled.
10
11 (4) In the case of an oil, gasoline or gas pipeline
11
12 enterprise, the numerator of the fraction shall
12
13 be either the total of traffic units of the
13
14 enterprise within Oklahoma this state or the
14
15 revenue allocated to Oklahoma this state based
15
16 upon miles moved, at the option of the taxpayer,
16
17 and the denominator of which shall be the total
17
18 of traffic units of the enterprise or the revenue
18
19 of the enterprise everywhere as appropriate to
19
20 the numerator. A "traffic unit" is hereby
20
21 defined as the transportation for a distance of
21
22 one (1) mile of one (1) barrel of oil, one (1)
22
23 gallon of gasoline or one thousand (1,000) cubic
23
24

Req. No. 2391 Page 15
1 feet of natural or casinghead gas, as the case
1
2 may be.
2
3 (5) In the case of a telephone or telegraph or other
3
4 communication enterprise, the numerator of the
4
5 fraction shall include that portion of the
5
6 interstate revenue as is allocated pursuant to
6
7 the accounting procedures prescribed by the
7
8 Federal Communications Commission; provided that
8
9 in respect to each corporation or business entity
9
10 required by the Federal Communications Commission
10
11 to keep its books and records in accordance with
11
12 a uniform system of accounts prescribed by such
12
13 Commission, the intrastate net income shall be
13
14 determined separately in the manner provided by
14
15 such uniform system of accounts and only the
15
16 interstate income shall be subject to allocation
16
17 pursuant to the provisions of this subsection.
17
18 Provided further, that the gross revenue factors
18
19 shall be those as are determined pursuant to the
19
20 accounting procedures prescribed by the Federal
20
21 Communications Commission.
21
22 In any case where the apportionment of the three factors
22
23 prescribed in this paragraph attributes to Oklahoma this state a
23
24 portion of net income of the enterprise out of all appropriate
24
Req. No. 2391 Page 16
1 proportion to the property owned and/or business transacted within
1
2 this state, because of the fact that one or more of the factors so
2
3 prescribed are not employed to any appreciable extent in furtherance
3
4 of the enterprise; or because one or more factors not so prescribed
4
5 are employed to a considerable extent in furtherance of the
5
6 enterprise; or because of other reasons, the Tax Commission is
6
7 empowered to permit, after a showing by taxpayer that an excessive
7
8 portion of net income has been attributed to Oklahoma this state, or
8
9 require, when in its judgment an insufficient portion of net income
9
10 has been attributed to Oklahoma this state, the elimination,
10
11 substitution, or use of additional factors, or reduction or increase
11
12 in the weight of such prescribed factors. Provided, however, that
12
13 any such variance from such prescribed factors which has the effect
13
14 of increasing the portion of net income attributable to Oklahoma
14
15 this state must not be inherently arbitrary, and application of the
15
16 recomputed final apportionment to the net income of the enterprise
16
17 must attribute to Oklahoma this state only a reasonable portion
17
18 thereof.
18
19 6. For calendar years 1997 and 1998, the owner of a new or
19
20 expanded agricultural commodity processing facility in this state
20
21 may exclude from Oklahoma taxable income, or in the case of an
21
22 individual, the Oklahoma adjusted gross income, fifteen percent
22
23 (15%) of the investment by the owner in the new or expanded
23
24 agricultural commodity processing facility. For calendar year 1999,
24
Req. No. 2391 Page 17
1 and all subsequent years, the percentage, not to exceed fifteen
1
2 percent (15%), available to the owner of a new or expanded
2
3 agricultural commodity processing facility in this state claiming
3
4 the exemption shall be adjusted annually so that the total estimated
