AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 1883

2    AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 1883 by replacing
3everything after the enacting clause with the following:
 
4
"Article 1. Findings

 
5    Section 1-1. Legislative findings.
6    (1) The House of Representatives adopted House Resolution
7110 on March 8, 2011, setting forth the estimates of general
8funds the House expects to be available during State fiscal
9year 2012.
10    (2) In determining the estimates of general funds expected
11to be available during State fiscal year 2012, the House
12Revenue & Finance Committee assumed that the State would not
13collect approximately $600,000,000 of income tax revenues due
14to the allowance of special bonus depreciation rules approved
15by the federal government.
16    (3) The House of Representatives adopted House Resolution

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 2 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1158 on March 30, 2011, which provides that if the actual amount
2of funds from State sources that become available during State
3fiscal year 2012 exceeds the House's estimates set forth in
4House Resolution 110, then that excess shall first be used to
5reduce the backlog of unpaid State obligations to the extent
6authorized by law.
7    (4) These concepts are prudent and should be continued for
8State fiscal year 2013 and beyond.
9    (5) As the House Revenue & Finance Committee develops the
10estimates of general funds expected to be available during
11State fiscal year 2013, an estimated $250,000,000 of income tax
12revenues in excess of the State fiscal year 2012 budgeted
13amount will become available due to the phasing out of the
14allowance of special bonus depreciation rules approved by the
15federal government.
16    (6) Therefore, the General Assembly finds that a tax
17incentive package that does not exceed $250,000,000 in State
18fiscal year 2013 can be approved without any negative impact to
19the State budget in State fiscal years 2012 and 2013 while
20providing tax relief to a large number of Illinois individual
21and business taxpayers.

9provides for the appointment of a trustee, the trustee shall be
10considered the assignee of any payments assigned by the
11municipality pursuant to the ordinance and this Section. Any
12amounts paid to the trustee as assignee shall be deposited in
13the funds or accounts established pursuant to the trust
14agreement, and shall be held by the trustee in trust for the
15benefit of the holders of the bonds, and the holders shall have

9reinsurance arrangements), beginning with taxable years ending
10on or after December 31, 1999, the sum of the rates of tax
11imposed by subsections (b) and (d) shall be reduced (but not
12increased) to the rate at which the total amount of tax imposed
13under this Act, net of all credits allowed under this Act,
14shall equal (i) the total amount of tax that would be imposed
15on the foreign insurer's net income allocable to Illinois for
16the taxable year by such foreign insurer's state or country of
17domicile if that net income were subject to all income taxes

09700HB1883sam006- 66 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1investment in qualified property.
2        (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to .5%
3    of the basis of qualified property placed in service during
4    the taxable year, provided such property is placed in
5    service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed an
6    additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of qualified
7    property placed in service during the taxable year,
8    provided such property is placed in service on or after
9    July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment within
10    Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the preceding
11    year as determined by the taxpayer's employment records
12    filed with the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
13    Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be deemed to have
14    met the 1% growth in base employment for the first year in
15    which they file employment records with the Illinois
16    Department of Employment Security. The provisions added to
17    this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored by Public
18    Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of existing
19    law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year, the
20    increase in base employment within Illinois over the
21    preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit shall
22    be limited to that percentage times a fraction, the
23    numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is
24    1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall
25    not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
26    taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 67 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1    any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year
2    other than the year in which the property was placed in
3    service in Illinois. For tax years ending on or after
4    December 31, 1987, and on or before December 31, 1988, the
5    credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
6    property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
7    credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it
8    exceeds the original liability or the liability as later
9    amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied to
10    the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the
11    excess credit years if the taxpayer (i) makes investments
12    which cause the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time
13    equivalent jobs in Illinois, (ii) is located in an
14    enterprise zone established pursuant to the Illinois
15    Enterprise Zone Act and (iii) is certified by the
16    Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
17    Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) as
18    complying with the requirements specified in clause (i) and
19    (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and
20    Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic
21    Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all
22    such certifications immediately. For tax years ending
23    after December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for
24    the tax year in which the property is placed in service,
25    or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
26    for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability or

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 68 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1    the liability as later amended, such excess may be carried
2    forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable
3    years following the excess credit years. The credit shall
4    be applied to the earliest year for which there is a
5    liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
6    that is available to offset a liability, earlier credit
7    shall be applied first.
8        (2) The term "qualified property" means property
9    which:
10            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
11        buildings and structural components of buildings and
12        signs that are real property, but not including land or
13        improvements to real property that are not a structural
14        component of a building such as landscaping, sewer
15        lines, local access roads, fencing, parking lots, and
16        other appurtenances;
17            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
18        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
19        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
20        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
21        (e);
22            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
23        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
24            (D) is used in Illinois by a taxpayer who is
25        primarily engaged in manufacturing, or in mining coal
26        or fluorite, or in retailing, or was placed in service

1        on or after July 1, 2006 in a River Edge Redevelopment
2        Zone established pursuant to the River Edge
3        Redevelopment Zone Act; and
4            (E) has not previously been used in Illinois in
5        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
6        the credit provided by this subsection (e) or
7        subsection (f).
8        (3) For purposes of this subsection (e),
9    "manufacturing" means the material staging and production
10    of tangible personal property by procedures commonly
11    regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabrication, or
12    assembling which changes some existing material into new
13    shapes, new qualities, or new combinations. For purposes of
14    this subsection (e) the term "mining" shall have the same
15    meaning as the term "mining" in Section 613(c) of the
16    Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this subsection (e),
17    the term "retailing" means the sale of tangible personal
18    property for use or consumption and not for resale, or
19    services rendered in conjunction with the sale of tangible
20    personal property for use or consumption and not for
21    resale. For purposes of this subsection (e), "tangible
22    personal property" has the same meaning as when that term
23    is used in the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and, for
24    taxable years ending after December 31, 2008, does not
25    include the generation, transmission, or distribution of
26    electricity.

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 70 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1        (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
2    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
3    income tax purposes.
4        (5) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
5    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
6    in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of such
7    increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
8    date of such increase in basis.
9        (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
10    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
11        (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
12    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
13    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
14    any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
15    months after being placed in service, the Personal Property
16    Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year shall be
17    increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
18    recomputing the investment credit which would have been
19    allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
20    originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
21    computation and, (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
22    from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
23    purposes of this paragraph (7), a reduction of the basis of
24    qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
25    purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
26    property to the extent of such reduction.

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 71 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1        (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
2    the basis of qualified property shall not include costs
3    incurred after December 31, 2018 2013, except for costs
4    incurred pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or
5    before December 31, 2018 2013.
6        (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000,
7    a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners the
8    credits to which the partnership is entitled under this
9    subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may use the
10    credit allocated to him or her under this paragraph only
11    against the tax imposed in subsections (c) and (d) of this
12    Section. If the partnership makes that election, those
13    credits shall be allocated among the partners in the
14    partnership in accordance with the rules set forth in
15    Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the rules
16    promulgated under that Section, and the allocated amount of
17    the credits shall be allowed to the partners for that

09700HB1883sam006- 72 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1    paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 203 shall be
2    allowed a credit under this subsection (e) equal to its
3    share of the credit earned under this subsection (e) during
4    the taxable year by the partnership or Subchapter S
5    corporation, determined in accordance with the
6    determination of income and distributive share of income
7    under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal
8    Revenue Code. This paragraph is exempt from the provisions
9    of Section 250.

11Redevelopment Zone.
12        (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the

15    in an Enterprise Zone created pursuant to the Illinois
16    Enterprise Zone Act or, for property placed in service on
17    or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge Redevelopment Zone
18    established pursuant to the River Edge Redevelopment Zone
19    Act. For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
20    corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
21    if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
22    purposes of federal and State income taxation, there shall
23    be allowed a credit under this subsection (f) to be
24    determined in accordance with the determination of income
25    and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704

09700HB1883sam006- 73 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1    shall be .5% of the basis for such property. The credit
2    shall be available only in the taxable year in which the
3    property is placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or
4    River Edge Redevelopment Zone and shall not be allowed to
5    the extent that it would reduce a taxpayer's liability for
6    the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section
7    to below zero. For tax years ending on or after December
8    31, 1985, the credit shall be allowed for the tax year in
9    which the property is placed in service, or, if the amount
10    of the credit exceeds the tax liability for that year,
11    whether it exceeds the original liability or the liability
12    as later amended, such excess may be carried forward and
13    applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable years
14    following the excess credit year. The credit shall be
15    applied to the earliest year for which there is a
16    liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
17    that is available to offset a liability, the credit
18    accruing first in time shall be applied first.
19        (2) The term qualified property means property which:
20            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
21        buildings and structural components of buildings;
22            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
23        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
24        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
25        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
26        (f);

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 74 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
2        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
3            (D) is used in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
4        Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer; and
5            (E) has not been previously used in Illinois in
6        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
7        the credit provided by this subsection (f) or
8        subsection (e).
9        (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
10    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
11    income tax purposes.
12        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
13    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
14    in service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
15    Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer, the amount of such
16    increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
17    date of such increase in basis.
18        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
19    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
20        (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
21    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
22    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
23    any qualified property is moved outside the Enterprise Zone
24    or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months after
25    being placed in service, the tax imposed under subsections
26    (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable year shall be

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 75 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1    increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
2    recomputing the investment credit which would have been
3    allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
4    originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
5    computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
6    from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
7    purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the basis of
8    qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
9    purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
10    property to the extent of such reduction.
11        (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
12    to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
13    service during the taxable year in a River Edge
14    Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
15    service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
16    employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over
17    the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
18    employment records filed with the Illinois Department of

20    shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
21    employment for the first year in which they file employment
22    records with the Illinois Department of Employment
23    Security. If, in any year, the increase in base employment
24    within Illinois over the preceding year is less than 1%,
25    the additional credit shall be limited to that percentage
26    times a fraction, the numerator of which is 0.5% and the

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 76 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1    denominator of which is 1%, but shall not exceed 0.5%.

09700HB1883sam006- 80 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1    may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of
2    the 5 taxable years following the excess credit year. The
3    credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
4    there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
5    tax year that is available to offset a liability, the
6    credit accruing first in time shall be applied first.
7        Changes made in this subdivision (h)(1) by Public Act

9    reflect existing law.
10        (2) The term qualified property means property which:

22        Section.
23        (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
24    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
25    income tax purposes.
26        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 81 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
2    in service in a federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or
3    Sub-Zone located in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of
4    such increase shall be deemed property placed in service on
5    the date of such increase in basis.
6        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
7    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
8        (6) If during any taxable year ending on or before

10    property in the hands of the taxpayer within 48 months
11    after being placed in service, or the situs of any
12    qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
13    months after being placed in service, the tax imposed under
14    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable
15    year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
16    by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
17    been allowed for the year in which credit for such property
18    was originally allowed by eliminating such property from
19    such computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed
20    credit from the amount of credit previously allowed. For
21    the purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the
22    basis of qualified property resulting from a
23    redetermination of the purchase price shall be deemed a

2    subsection (h) and thereby is granted a tax abatement and
3    the taxpayer relocates its entire facility in violation of
4    the explicit terms and length of the contract under Section
5    18-183 of the Property Tax Code, the tax imposed under
6    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section shall be increased
7    for the taxable year in which the taxpayer relocated its
8    facility by an amount equal to the amount of credit
9    received by the taxpayer under this subsection (h).
10    (i) Credit for Personal Property Tax Replacement Income
11Tax. For tax years ending prior to December 31, 2003, a credit
12shall be allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and
13(b) of this Section for the tax imposed by subsections (c) and
14(d) of this Section. This credit shall be computed by
15multiplying the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
16Section by a fraction, the numerator of which is base income
17allocable to Illinois and the denominator of which is Illinois
18base income, and further multiplying the product by the tax
19rate imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section.
20    Any credit earned on or after December 31, 1986 under this
21subsection which is unused in the year the credit is computed

2year ending on or after December 31, 2003. This credit shall be
3applied first to the earliest year for which there is a
4liability. If there is a credit under this subsection from more
5than one tax year that is available to offset a liability the
6earliest credit arising under this subsection shall be applied
7first.
8    If, during any taxable year ending on or after December 31,
91986, the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
10Section for which a taxpayer has claimed a credit under this
11subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of credit for such tax
12shall also be reduced. Such reduction shall be determined by
13recomputing the credit to take into account the reduced tax
14imposed by subsections (c) and (d). If any portion of the
15reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different
16taxable year, an amended return shall be filed for such taxable
17year to reduce the amount of credit claimed.
18    (j) Training expense credit. Beginning with tax years
19ending on or after December 31, 1986 and prior to December 31,
202003, a taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the tax

09700HB1883sam006- 84 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1computation of taxable income. The credit against the tax
2imposed by subsections (a) and (b) shall be 1.6% of such
3training expenses. For partners, shareholders of subchapter S
4corporations, and owners of limited liability companies, if the
5liability company is treated as a partnership for purposes of
6federal and State income taxation, there shall be allowed a
7credit under this subsection (j) to be determined in accordance
8with the determination of income and distributive share of
9income under Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the
10Internal Revenue Code.
11    Any credit allowed under this subsection which is unused in
12the year the credit is earned may be carried forward to each of
13the 5 taxable years following the year for which the credit is
14first computed until it is used. This credit shall be applied
15first to the earliest year for which there is a liability. If
16there is a credit under this subsection from more than one tax
17year that is available to offset a liability the earliest
18credit arising under this subsection shall be applied first. No
19carryforward credit may be claimed in any tax year ending on or
20after December 31, 2003.

5shareholders of subchapter S corporations, and owners of
6limited liability companies, if the liability company is
7treated as a partnership for purposes of federal and State
8income taxation, there shall be allowed a credit under this
9subsection to be determined in accordance with the
10determination of income and distributive share of income under
11Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the Internal Revenue
12Code.
13    For purposes of this subsection, "qualifying expenditures"
14means the qualifying expenditures as defined for the federal
15credit for increasing research activities which would be
16allowable under Section 41 of the Internal Revenue Code and
17which are conducted in this State, "qualifying expenditures for
18increasing research activities in this State" means the excess
19of qualifying expenditures for the taxable year in which

09700HB1883sam006- 86 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1year may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
2unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over
3as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
4taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever occurs
5first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year ending
6prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any year
7ending on or after December 31, 2003, and no credit may be
8carried forward to any taxable year ending on or after January
91, 2011.
10    If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
112 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
12year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
13given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
14remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
15applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
16liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
17credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
18following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
19that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
20than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
21credit is given was incurred.

9    paid in performing environmental remediation at a site for
10    which a No Further Remediation Letter was issued by the
11    Agency and recorded under Section 58.10 of the
12    Environmental Protection Act. The credit must be claimed
13    for the taxable year in which Agency approval of the
14    eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit is not
15    available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any related
16    party caused or contributed to, in any material respect, a
17    release of regulated substances on, in, or under the site
18    that was identified and addressed by the remedial action
19    pursuant to the Site Remediation Program of the
20    Environmental Protection Act. After the Pollution Control
21    Board rules are adopted pursuant to the Illinois
22    Administrative Procedure Act for the administration and
23    enforcement of Section 58.9 of the Environmental
24    Protection Act, determinations as to credit availability
25    for purposes of this Section shall be made consistent with
26    those rules. For purposes of this Section, "taxpayer"

10            located in this State and the other is located
11            outside of this State, which segments are
12            separately charged.
13                (d) The receipts from charges for service
14            segments with a channel termination point located
15            in this State and in two or more other states, and
16            which segments are not separately billed, are in
17            this State based on a percentage determined by
18            dividing the number of customer channel
19            termination points in this State by the total
20            number of customer channel termination points.
21            (vi) Receipts from charges for ancillary services
22        for telecommunications service sold to customers at
23        retail are in this State if the customer's primary
24        place of use of telecommunications services associated
25        with those ancillary services is in this State. If the
26        seller of those ancillary services cannot determine

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 122 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1        where the associated telecommunications are located,
2        then the ancillary services shall be based on the
3        location of the purchaser.
4            (vii) Receipts to access a carrier's network or
5        from the sale of telecommunication services or
6        ancillary services for resale are in this State as
7        follows:
8                (a) 100% of the receipts from access fees
9            attributable to intrastate telecommunications
10            service that both originates and terminates in
11            this State.
12                (b) 50% of the receipts from access fees
13            attributable to interstate telecommunications
14            service if the interstate call either originates
15            or terminates in this State.
16                (c) 100% of the receipts from interstate end
17            user access line charges, if the customer's
18            service address is in this State. As used in this
19            subdivision, "interstate end user access line
20            charges" includes, but is not limited to, the
21            surcharge approved by the federal communications
22            commission and levied pursuant to 47 CFR 69.
23                (d) Gross receipts from sales of
24            telecommunication services or from ancillary
25            services for telecommunications services sold to
26            other telecommunication service providers for

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 123 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1            resale shall be sourced to this State using the
2            apportionment concepts used for non-resale
3            receipts of telecommunications services if the
4            information is readily available to make that
5            determination. If the information is not readily
6            available, then the taxpayer may use any other
7            reasonable and consistent method.
8        (B-7) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
9    2008, receipts from the sale of broadcasting services are
10    in this State if the broadcasting services are received in
11    this State. For purposes of this paragraph (B-7), the
12    following terms have the following meanings:
13            "Advertising revenue" means consideration received
14        by the taxpayer in exchange for broadcasting services
15        or allowing the broadcasting of commercials or
16        announcements in connection with the broadcasting of
17        film or radio programming, from sponsorships of the
18        programming, or from product placements in the
19        programming.
20            "Audience factor" means the ratio that the
21        audience or subscribers located in this State of a
22        station, a network, or a cable system bears to the
23        total audience or total subscribers for that station,
24        network, or cable system. The audience factor for film
25        or radio programming shall be determined by reference
26        to the books and records of the taxpayer or by

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 124 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1        reference to published rating statistics provided the
2        method used by the taxpayer is consistently used from
3        year to year for this purpose and fairly represents the
4        taxpayer's activity in this State.
5            "Broadcast" or "broadcasting" or "broadcasting
6        services" means the transmission or provision of film
7        or radio programming, whether through the public
8        airwaves, by cable, by direct or indirect satellite
9        transmission, or by any other means of communication,
10        either through a station, a network, or a cable system.
11            "Film" or "film programming" means the broadcast
12        on television of any and all performances, events, or
13        productions, including but not limited to news,
14        sporting events, plays, stories, or other literary,
15        commercial, educational, or artistic works, either
16        live or through the use of video tape, disc, or any
17        other type of format or medium. Each episode of a
18        series of films produced for television shall
19        constitute separate "film" notwithstanding that the
20        series relates to the same principal subject and is
21        produced during one or more tax periods.
22            "Radio" or "radio programming" means the broadcast
23        on radio 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

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 125 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1        live or through the use of an audio tape, disc, or any
2        other format or medium. Each episode in a series of
3        radio programming produced for radio broadcast shall
4        constitute a separate "radio programming"
5        notwithstanding that the series relates to the same
6        principal subject and is produced during one or more
7        tax periods.
8                (i) In the case of advertising revenue from
9            broadcasting, the customer is the advertiser and
10            the service is received in this State if the
11            commercial domicile of the advertiser is in this
12            State.
13                (ii) In the case where film or radio
14            programming is broadcast by a station, a network,
15            or a cable system for a fee or other remuneration
16            received from the recipient of the broadcast, the
17            portion of the service that is received in this
18            State is measured by the portion of the recipients
19            of the broadcast located in this State.
20            Accordingly, the fee or other remuneration for
21            such service that is included in the Illinois
22            numerator of the sales factor is the total of those
23            fees or other remuneration received from
24            recipients in Illinois. For purposes of this
25            paragraph, a taxpayer may determine the location
26            of the recipients of its broadcast using the

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 126 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1            address of the recipient shown in its contracts
2            with the recipient or using the billing address of
3            the recipient in the taxpayer's records.
4                (iii) In the case where film or radio
5            programming is broadcast by a station, a network,
6            or a cable system for a fee or other remuneration
7            from the person providing the programming, the
8            portion of the broadcast service that is received
9            by such station, network, or cable system in this
10            State is measured by the portion of recipients of
11            the broadcast located in this State. Accordingly,
12            the amount of revenue related to such an
13            arrangement that is included in the Illinois
14            numerator of the sales factor is the total fee or
15            other total remuneration from the person providing
16            the programming related to that broadcast
17            multiplied by the Illinois audience factor for
18            that broadcast.
19                (iv) In the case where film or radio
20            programming is provided by a taxpayer that is a
21            network or station to a customer for broadcast in
22            exchange for a fee or other remuneration from that
23            customer the broadcasting service is received at
24            the location of the office of the customer from
25            which the services were ordered in the regular
26            course of the customer's trade or business.

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 127 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1            Accordingly, in such a case the revenue derived by
2            the taxpayer that is included in the taxpayer's
3            Illinois numerator of the sales factor is the
4            revenue from such customers who receive the
5            broadcasting service in Illinois.
6                (v) In the case where film or radio programming
7            is provided by a taxpayer that is not a network or
8            station to another person for broadcasting in
9            exchange for a fee or other remuneration from that
10            person, the broadcasting service is received at
11            the location of the office of the customer from
12            which the services were ordered in the regular
13            course of the customer's trade or business.
14            Accordingly, in such a case the revenue derived by
15            the taxpayer that is included in the taxpayer's
16            Illinois numerator of the sales factor is the
17            revenue from such customers who receive the
18            broadcasting service in Illinois.
19        (C) For taxable years ending before December 31, 2008,
20    sales, other than sales governed by paragraphs (B), (B-1),
21    and (B-2), are in this State if:
22            (i) The income-producing activity is performed in
23        this State; or
24            (ii) The income-producing activity is performed
25        both within and without this State and a greater
26        proportion of the income-producing activity is

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 128 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1        performed within this State than without this State,
2        based on performance costs.
3        (C-5) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
4    2008, sales, other than sales governed by paragraphs (B),
5    (B-1), (B-2), (B-5), and (B-7), are in this State if any of
6    the following criteria are met:
7            (i) Sales from the sale or lease of real property
8        are in this State if the property is located in this
9        State.
10            (ii) Sales from the lease or rental of tangible
11        personal property are in this State if the property is
12        located in this State during the rental period. Sales
13        from the lease or rental of tangible personal property
14        that is characteristically moving property, including,
15        but not limited to, motor vehicles, rolling stock,
16        aircraft, vessels, or mobile equipment are in this
17        State to the extent that the property is used in this
18        State.
19            (iii) In the case of interest, net gains (but not
20        less than zero) and other items of income from
21        intangible personal property, the sale is in this State
22        if:
23                (a) in the case of a taxpayer who is a dealer
24            in the item of intangible personal property within
25            the meaning of Section 475 of the Internal Revenue
26            Code, the income or gain is received from a

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 129 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1            customer in this State. For purposes of this
2            subparagraph, a customer is in this State if the
3            customer is an individual, trust or estate who is a
4            resident of this State and, for all other
5            customers, if the customer's commercial domicile
6            is in this State. Unless the dealer has actual
7            knowledge of the residence or commercial domicile
8            of a customer during a taxable year, the customer
9            shall be deemed to be a customer in this State if
10            the billing address of the customer, as shown in
11            the records of the dealer, is in this State; or
12                (b) in all other cases, if the
13            income-producing activity of the taxpayer is
14            performed in this State or, if the
15            income-producing activity of the taxpayer is
16            performed both within and without this State, if a
17            greater proportion of the income-producing
18            activity of the taxpayer is performed within this
19            State than in any other state, based on performance
20            costs.
21            (iv) Sales of services are in this State if the
22        services are received in this State. For the purposes
23        of this section, gross receipts from the performance of
24        services provided to a corporation, partnership, or
25        trust may only be attributed to a state where that
26        corporation, partnership, or trust has a fixed place of

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 130 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1        business. If the state where the services are received
2        is not readily determinable or is a state where the
3        corporation, partnership, or trust receiving the
4        service does not have a fixed place of business, the
5        services shall be deemed to be received at the location
6        of the office of the customer from which the services
7        were ordered in the regular course of the customer's
8        trade or business. If the ordering office cannot be
9        determined, the services shall be deemed to be received
10        at the office of the customer to which the services are
11        billed. If the taxpayer is not taxable in the state in
12        which the services are received, the sale must be
13        excluded from both the numerator and the denominator of
14        the sales factor. The Department shall adopt rules
15        prescribing where specific types of service are
16        received, including, but not limited to, publishing,
17        and utility service.
18        (D) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
19    1995, the following items of income shall not be included
20    in the numerator or denominator of the sales factor:
21    dividends; amounts included under Section 78 of the
22    Internal Revenue Code; and Subpart F income as defined in
23    Section 952 of the Internal Revenue Code. No inference
24    shall be drawn from the enactment of this paragraph (D) in
25    construing this Section for taxable years ending before
26    December 31, 1995.

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 131 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1        (E) Paragraphs (B-1) and (B-2) shall apply to tax years
2    ending on or after December 31, 1999, provided that a
3    taxpayer may elect to apply the provisions of these
4    paragraphs to prior tax years. Such election shall be made
5    in the form and manner prescribed by the Department, shall
6    be irrevocable, and shall apply to all tax years; provided
7    that, if a taxpayer's Illinois income tax liability for any
8    tax year, as assessed under Section 903 prior to January 1,
9    1999, was computed in a manner contrary to the provisions
10    of paragraphs (B-1) or (B-2), no refund shall be payable to
11    the taxpayer for that tax year to the extent such refund is
12    the result of applying the provisions of paragraph (B-1) or
13    (B-2) retroactively. In the case of a unitary business
14    group, such election shall apply to all members of such
15    group for every tax year such group is in existence, but
16    shall not apply to any taxpayer for any period during which
17    that taxpayer is not a member of such group.
18    (b) Insurance companies.
19        (1) In general. Except as otherwise provided by
20    paragraph (2), business income of an insurance company for
21    a taxable year shall be apportioned to this State by
22    multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
23    which is the direct premiums written for insurance upon
24    property or risk in this State, and the denominator of
25    which is the direct premiums written for insurance upon
26    property or risk everywhere. For purposes of this

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 132 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

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

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 133 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1    accepted from all sources, or, alternatively, in the
2    proportion which the sum of the direct premiums written for
3    insurance upon property or risk in this State by each
4    ceding company from which reinsurance is accepted bears to
5    the sum of the total direct premiums written by each such
6    ceding company for the taxable year. The election made by a
7    company under this paragraph for its first taxable year
8    ending on or after December 31, 2011, shall be binding for
9    that company for that taxable year and for all subsequent
10    taxable years, and may be altered only with the written
11    permission of the Department, which shall not be
12    unreasonably withheld.
13    (c) Financial organizations.
14        (1) In general. For taxable years ending before
15    December 31, 2008, business income of a financial
16    organization shall be apportioned to this State by
17    multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
18    which is its business income from sources within this
19    State, and the denominator of which is its business income
20    from all sources. For the purposes of this subsection, the
21    business income of a financial organization from sources
22    within this State is the sum of the amounts referred to in
23    subparagraphs (A) through (E) following, but excluding the
24    adjusted income of an international banking facility as
25    determined in paragraph (2):
26            (A) Fees, commissions or other compensation for

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 134 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1        financial services rendered within this State;
2            (B) Gross profits from trading in stocks, bonds or
3        other securities managed within this State;
4            (C) Dividends, and interest from Illinois
5        customers, which are received within this State;
6            (D) Interest charged to customers at places of
7        business maintained within this State for carrying
8        debit balances of margin accounts, without deduction
9        of any costs incurred in carrying such accounts; and
10            (E) Any other gross income resulting from the
11        operation as a financial organization within this
12        State. In computing the amounts referred to in
13        paragraphs (A) through (E) of this subsection, any
14        amount received by a member of an affiliated group
15        (determined under Section 1504(a) of the Internal
16        Revenue Code but without reference to whether any such
17        corporation is an "includible corporation" under
18        Section 1504(b) of the Internal Revenue Code) from
19        another member of such group shall be included only to
20        the extent such amount exceeds expenses of the
21        recipient directly related thereto.
22        (2) International Banking Facility. For taxable years
23    ending before December 31, 2008:
24            (A) Adjusted Income. The adjusted income of an
25        international banking facility is its income reduced
26        by the amount of the floor amount.

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 135 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1            (B) Floor Amount. The floor amount shall be the
2        amount, if any, determined by multiplying the income of
3        the international banking facility by a fraction, not
4        greater than one, which is determined as follows:
5                (i) The numerator shall be:
6                The average aggregate, determined on a
7            quarterly basis, of the financial organization's
8            loans to banks in foreign countries, to foreign
9            domiciled borrowers (except where secured
10            primarily by real estate) and to foreign
11            governments and other foreign official
12            institutions, as reported for its branches,
13            agencies and offices within the state on its
14            "Consolidated Report of Condition", Schedule A,
15            Lines 2.c., 5.b., and 7.a., which was filed with
16            the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and
17            other regulatory authorities, for the year 1980,
18            minus
19                The average aggregate, determined on a
20            quarterly basis, of such loans (other than loans of
21            an international banking facility), as reported by
22            the financial institution for its branches,
23            agencies and offices within the state, on the
24            corresponding Schedule and lines of the
25            Consolidated Report of Condition for the current
26            taxable year, provided, however, that in no case

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 136 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1            shall the amount determined in this clause (the
2            subtrahend) exceed the amount determined in the
3            preceding clause (the minuend); and
4                (ii) the denominator shall be the average
5            aggregate, determined on a quarterly basis, of the
6            international banking facility's loans to banks in
7            foreign countries, to foreign domiciled borrowers
8            (except where secured primarily by real estate)
9            and to foreign governments and other foreign
10            official institutions, which were recorded in its
11            financial accounts for the current taxable year.
12            (C) Change to Consolidated Report of Condition and
13        in Qualification. In the event the Consolidated Report
14        of Condition which is filed with the Federal Deposit
15        Insurance Corporation and other regulatory authorities
16        is altered so that the information required for
17        determining the floor amount is not found on Schedule
18        A, lines 2.c., 5.b. and 7.a., the financial institution
19        shall notify the Department and the Department may, by
20        regulations or otherwise, prescribe or authorize the
21        use of an alternative source for such information. The
22        financial institution shall also notify the Department
23        should its international banking facility fail to
24        qualify as such, in whole or in part, or should there
25        be any amendment or change to the Consolidated Report
26        of Condition, as originally filed, to the extent such

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 137 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1        amendment or change alters the information used in
2        determining the floor amount.
3        (3) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
4    2008, the business income of a financial organization shall
5    be apportioned to this State by multiplying such income by
6    a fraction, the numerator of which is its gross receipts
7    from sources in this State or otherwise attributable to
8    this State's marketplace and the denominator of which is
9    its gross receipts everywhere during the taxable year.
10    "Gross receipts" for purposes of this subparagraph (3)
11    means gross income, including net taxable gain on
12    disposition of assets, including securities and money
13    market instruments, when derived from transactions and
14    activities in the regular course of the financial
15    organization's trade or business. The following examples
16    are illustrative:
17            (i) Receipts from the lease or rental of real or
18        tangible personal property are in this State if the
19        property is located in this State during the rental
20        period. Receipts from the lease or rental of tangible
21        personal property that is characteristically moving
22        property, including, but not limited to, motor
23        vehicles, rolling stock, aircraft, vessels, or mobile
24        equipment are from sources in this State to the extent
25        that the property is used in this State.
26            (ii) Interest income, commissions, fees, gains on

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 138 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1        disposition, and other receipts from assets in the
2        nature of loans that are secured primarily by real
3        estate or tangible personal property are from sources
4        in this State if the security is located in this State.
5            (iii) Interest income, commissions, fees, gains on
6        disposition, and other receipts from consumer loans
7        that are not secured by real or tangible personal
8        property are from sources in this State if the debtor
9        is a resident of this State.
10            (iv) Interest income, commissions, fees, gains on
11        disposition, and other receipts from commercial loans
12        and installment obligations that are not secured by
13        real or tangible personal property are from sources in
14        this State if the proceeds of the loan are to be
15        applied in this State. If it cannot be determined where
16        the funds are to be applied, the income and receipts
17        are from sources in this State if the office of the
18        borrower from which the loan was negotiated in the

2            of this paragraph, the receipts factor shall
3            include the amounts described in such
4            subparagraphs.
5                    (A) The receipts factor shall include the
6                amount by which interest from federal funds
7                sold and securities purchased under resale

2                income from investment assets and activities
3                in the investment account to be attributed to
4                this State and included in the numerator is
5                determined by multiplying all such income from
6                such assets and activities by a fraction, the
7                numerator of which is the gross income from
8                such assets and activities which are properly
9                assigned to a fixed place of business of the
10                taxpayer within this State and the denominator
11                of which is the gross income from all such
12                assets and activities.
13                    (B) The amount of interest from federal
14                funds sold and purchased and from securities
15                purchased under resale agreements and

6                the arbitrage book and foreign currency
7                transactions (but excluding amounts described
8                in subparagraphs (A) or (B) of this paragraph),
9                attributable to this State and included in the
10                numerator is determined by multiplying the
11                amount described in subparagraph (B) of
12                paragraph (1) of this subsection by a fraction,
13                the numerator of which is the gross income from
14                such trading assets and activities which are
15                properly assigned to a fixed place of business
16                of the taxpayer within this State and the
17                denominator of which is the gross income from
18                all such assets and activities.
19                    (D) Properly assigned, for purposes of
20                this paragraph (2) of this subsection, means
21                the investment or trading asset or activity is
22                assigned to the fixed place of business with
23                which it has a preponderance of substantive
24                contacts. An investment or trading asset or
25                activity assigned by the taxpayer to a fixed
26                place of business without the State shall be

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 143 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1                presumed to have been properly assigned if:
2                        (i) the taxpayer has assigned, in the
3                    regular course of its business, such asset
4                    or activity on its records to a fixed place
5                    of business consistent with federal or
6                    state regulatory requirements;
7                        (ii) such assignment on its records is
8                    based upon substantive contacts of the
9                    asset or activity to such fixed place of
10                    business; and
11                        (iii) the taxpayer uses such records
12                    reflecting assignment of such assets or
13                    activities for the filing of all state and
14                    local tax returns for which an assignment
15                    of such assets or activities to a fixed
16                    place of business is required.
17                    (E) The presumption of proper assignment
18                of an investment or trading asset or activity
19                provided in subparagraph (D) of paragraph (2)
20                of this subsection may be rebutted upon a
21                showing by the Department, supported by a
22                preponderance of the evidence, that the
23                preponderance of substantive contacts
24                regarding such asset or activity did not occur
25                at the fixed place of business to which it was
26                assigned on the taxpayer's records. If the

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 144 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1                fixed place of business that has a
2                preponderance of substantive contacts cannot
3                be determined for an investment or trading
4                asset or activity to which the presumption in
5                subparagraph (D) of paragraph (2) of this
6                subsection does not apply or with respect to
7                which that presumption has been rebutted, that
8                asset or activity is properly assigned to the
9                state in which the taxpayer's commercial
10                domicile is located. For purposes of this
11                subparagraph (E), it shall be presumed,
12                subject to rebuttal, that taxpayer's
13                commercial domicile is in the state of the
14                United States or the District of Columbia to
15                which the greatest number of employees are
16                regularly connected with the management of the
17                investment or trading income or out of which
18                they are working, irrespective of where the
19                services of such employees are performed, as of
20                the last day of the taxable year.

23    (c-1) Federally-regulated exchanges. For taxable years
24ending on or after December 31, 2012, business income of a
25federally-regulated exchange shall, at the option of the
26federally-regulated exchange, be apportioned to this State by

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 145 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of which
2is its business income from sources within this State, and the
3denominator of which is its business income from all sources.
4For purposes of this subsection, the business income within
5this State of a federally-regulated exchange is the sum of the
6following:
7        (1) Receipts attributable to transactions executed on
8    a physical trading floor if that physical trading floor is
9    located in this State.
10        (2) Receipts attributable to all other matching,
11    execution, or clearing transactions, including without
12    limitation receipts from the provision of matching,
13    execution, or clearing services to another entity,
14    multiplied by (i) for taxable years ending on or after
15    December 31, 2012 but before December 31, 2013, 63.77%; and
16    (ii) for taxable years ending on or after December 31,
17    2013, 27.54%.
18        (3) Receipts from all other sales of services if the
19    services are received in this State. For the purposes of
20    this subsection, gross receipts from the performance of
21    services provided to a corporation, partnership, or trust
22    may only be attributed to a state where that corporation,
23    partnership, or trust has a fixed place of business. If the
24    state where the services are received is not readily
25    determinable or is a state where the corporation,
26    partnership, or trust receiving the service does not have a

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 146 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1    fixed place of business, the services shall be deemed to be
2    received at the location of the office of the customer from
3    which the services were ordered in the regular course of
4    the customer's trade or business. If the ordering office
5    cannot be determined, the services shall be deemed to be
6    received at the office of the customer to whom the services
7    are billed.
8        (4) All other receipts not governed by subparagraphs
9    (1), (2), or (3) of this subsection (c-1), to the extent
10    the receipts would be characterized as "sales in this
11    State" under item (3) of subsection (a) of this Section.
12    "Federally-regulated exchange" means (i) a "registered
13entity" within the meaning of 7 U.S.C. Section 1a(40)(A), (B),
14or (C), (ii) an "exchange" or "clearing agency" within the
15meaning of 15 U.S.C. Section 78c (a)(1) or (23), (iii) any such
16entities regulated under any successor regulatory structure to
17the foregoing, and (iv) all taxpayers who are members of the
18same unitary business group as a federally-regulated exchange,
19determined without regard to the prohibition in Section
201501(a)(27) of this Act against including in a unitary business
21group taxpayers who are ordinarily required to apportion
22business income under different subsections of this Section;
23provided that this subparagraph (iv) shall apply only if 50% or
24more of the business receipts of the unitary business group
25determined by application of this subparagraph (iv) for the
26taxable year are attributable to the matching, execution, or

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 147 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1clearing of transactions conducted by an entity described in
2subparagraph (i), (ii), or (iii) of this paragraph.
3    In no event shall the Illinois apportionment percentage
4computed in accordance with this subsection (c-1) for any
5taxpayer for any tax year be less than the Illinois
6apportionment percentage computed under this subsection (c-1)
7for that taxpayer for the first full tax year ending on or
8after December 31, 2013 for which this subsection (c-1) applied
9to the taxpayer.
10    (d) Transportation services. For taxable years ending
11before December 31, 2008, business income derived from
12furnishing transportation services shall be apportioned to
13this State in accordance with paragraphs (1) and (2):
14        (1) Such business income (other than that derived from
15    transportation by pipeline) shall be apportioned to this
16    State by multiplying such income by a fraction, the
17    numerator of which is the revenue miles of the person in
18    this State, and the denominator of which is the revenue
19    miles of the person everywhere. For purposes of this
20    paragraph, a revenue mile is the transportation of 1
21    passenger or 1 net ton of freight the distance of 1 mile
22    for a consideration. Where a person is engaged in the
23    transportation of both passengers and freight, the
24    fraction above referred to shall be determined by means of
25    an average of the passenger revenue mile fraction and the
26    freight revenue mile fraction, weighted to reflect the

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 148 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

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

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 149 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

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

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 150 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1    which is the revenue miles of the person in this State, and
2    the denominator of which is the revenue miles of the person
3    everywhere. For purposes of this paragraph, a revenue mile
4    is the transportation of one passenger or one net ton of
5    freight the distance of one mile for a consideration. If a
6    person is engaged in the transportation of both passengers
7    and freight, the fraction above referred to shall be
8    determined by means of an average of the passenger revenue
9    mile fraction and the freight revenue mile fraction,
10    weighted to reflect the person's relative gross receipts
11    from passenger and freight airline transportation.
12    (e) Combined apportionment. Where 2 or more persons are
13engaged in a unitary business as described in subsection
14(a)(27) of Section 1501, a part of which is conducted in this
15State by one or more members of the group, the business income
16attributable to this State by any such member or members shall
17be apportioned by means of the combined apportionment method.
18    (f) Alternative allocation. If the allocation and
19apportionment provisions of subsections (a) through (e) and of
20subsection (h) do not fairly represent the extent of a person's
21business activity in this State, the person may petition for,
22or the Director may, without a petition, permit or require, in
23respect of all or any part of the person's business activity,
24if reasonable:
25        (1) Separate accounting;
26        (2) The exclusion of any one or more factors;

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 151 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

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

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 152 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1percentage weight given to each factor whose denominator is
2equal to zero.

16                the loans made by that corporation to members
17                of its affiliated group;

26                during the tax year; and

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 168 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1                    (d) more than 50% of all interest-bearing
2                obligations of the affiliated group payable to

11        for all tax years beginning on or before December 31,
12        1996, to all original returns, to all amended returns
13        filed no later than 30 days after the effective date of
14        this amendatory Act of 1996, and to all notices issued
15        on or before the effective date of this amendatory Act
16        of 1996 under subsection (a) of Section 903, subsection
17        (a) of Section 904, subsection (e) of Section 909, or
18        Section 912. A taxpayer that is a "financial

25        subparagraphs (B) or (C) of this paragraph, but who
26        does not fall within the definition of a "financial

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 169 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1        organization" under the Proposed Regulations issued by
2        the Department of Revenue on July 19, 1996, may
3        irrevocably elect to apply the Proposed Regulations
4        for all of those years as though the Proposed
5        Regulations had been lawfully promulgated, adopted,

11        business group who are ordinarily required to
12        apportion business income under the same subsection of
13        Section 304 of this Act as the taxpayer making the
14        election. No election allowed by this subparagraph

22        any other purpose, including the purposes of any
23        regulatory agency to which the lessor is subject. A
24        finance lease is any transaction in the form of a lease
25        in which the lessee is treated as the owner of the
26        leased asset entitled to any deduction for

4        (27) Unitary business group.
5            (A) The term "unitary business group" means a group
6        of persons related through common ownership whose

8        upon and contribute to each other. The group will not
9        include those members whose business activity outside

11        total business activity; for purposes of this
12        paragraph and clause (a)(3)(B)(ii) of Section 304,
13        business activity within the United States shall be
14        measured by means of the factors ordinarily applicable
15        under subsections (a), (b), (c), (d), or (h) of Section
16        304 except that, in the case of members ordinarily
17        required to apportion business income by means of the 3
18        factor formula of property, payroll and sales
19        specified in subsection (a) of Section 304, including
20        the formula as weighted in subsection (h) of Section
21        304, such members shall not use the sales factor in the
22        computation and the results of the property and payroll
23        factor computations of subsection (a) of Section 304
24        shall be divided by 2 (by one if either the property or
25        payroll factor has a denominator of zero). The
26        computation required by the preceding sentence shall,

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 179 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1        in each case, involve the division of the member's
2        property, payroll, or revenue miles in the United
3        States, insurance premiums on property or risk in the
4        United States, or financial organization business
5        income from sources within the United States, as the
6        case may be, by the respective worldwide figures for
7        such items. Common ownership in the case of
8        corporations is the direct or indirect control or
9        ownership of more than 50% of the outstanding voting
10        stock of the persons carrying on unitary business
11        activity. Unitary business activity can ordinarily be
12        illustrated where the activities of the members are:
13        (1) in the same general line (such as manufacturing,
14        wholesaling, retailing of tangible personal property,
15        insurance, transportation or finance); or (2) are
16        steps in a vertically structured enterprise or process
17        (such as the steps involved in the production of
18        natural resources, which might include exploration,
19        mining, refining, and marketing); and, in either
20        instance, the members are functionally integrated
21        through the exercise of strong centralized management
22        (where, for example, authority over such matters as
23        purchasing, financing, tax compliance, product line,
24        personnel, marketing and capital investment is not
25        left to each member).
26            (B) In no event, shall any unitary business group

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 180 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1        include members which are ordinarily required to
2        apportion business income under different subsections
3        of Section 304 except that for tax years ending on or
4        after December 31, 1987 this prohibition shall not
5        apply to a holding company that would otherwise be a
6        member of a unitary business group with taxpayers that
7        apportion business income under any of subsections
8        (b), (c), (c-1), or (d) of Section 304. If a unitary
9        business group would, but for the preceding sentence,
10        include members that are ordinarily required to
11        apportion business income under different subsections
12        of Section 304, then for each subsection of Section 304
13        for which there are two or more members, there shall be
14        a separate unitary business group composed of such
15        members. For purposes of the preceding two sentences, a
16        member is "ordinarily required to apportion business
17        income" under a particular subsection of Section 304 if
18        it would be required to use the apportionment method
19        prescribed by such subsection except for the fact that
20        it derives business income solely from Illinois. As
21        used in this paragraph, the phrase "United States"
22        means only the 50 states and the District of Columbia,
23        but does not include any territory or possession of the
24        United States or any area over which the United States
25        has asserted jurisdiction or claimed exclusive rights
26        with respect to the exploration for or exploitation of

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 181 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1        natural resources.
2            (C) Holding companies.
3                (i) For purposes of this subparagraph, a
4            "holding company" is a corporation (other than a
5            corporation that is a financial organization under
6            paragraph (8) of this subsection (a) of Section
7            1501 because it is a bank holding company under the
8            provisions of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956
9            (12 U.S.C. 1841, et seq.) or because it is owned by
10            a bank or a bank holding company) that owns a
11            controlling interest in one or more other
12            taxpayers ("controlled taxpayers"); that, during
13            the period that includes the taxable year and the 2
14            immediately preceding taxable years or, if the
15            corporation was formed during the current or
16            immediately preceding taxable year, the taxable
17            years in which the corporation has been in
18            existence, derived substantially all its gross
19            income from dividends, interest, rents, royalties,
20            fees or other charges received from controlled
21            taxpayers for the provision of services, and gains
22            on the sale or other disposition of interests in
23            controlled taxpayers or in property leased or
24            licensed to controlled taxpayers or used by the
25            taxpayer in providing services to controlled
26            taxpayers; and that incurs no substantial expenses

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 182 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1            other than expenses (including interest and other
2            costs of borrowing) incurred in connection with
3            the acquisition and holding of interests in
4            controlled taxpayers and in the provision of
5            services to controlled taxpayers or in the leasing
6            or licensing of property to controlled taxpayers.
7                (ii) The income of a holding company which is a
8            member of more than one unitary business group
9            shall be included in each unitary business group of
10            which it is a member on a pro rata basis, by
11            including in each unitary business group that
12            portion of the base income of the holding company
13            that bears the same proportion to the total base
14            income of the holding company as the gross receipts
15            of the unitary business group bears to the combined
16            gross receipts of all unitary business groups (in
17            both cases without regard to the holding company)
18            or on any other reasonable basis, consistently
19            applied.
20                (iii) A holding company shall apportion its
21            business income under the subsection of Section
22            304 used by the other members of its unitary
23            business group. The apportionment factors of a
24            holding company which would be a member of more
25            than one unitary business group shall be included
26            with the apportionment factors of each unitary

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 183 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1            business group of which it is a member on a pro
2            rata basis using the same method used in clause
3            (ii).
4                (iv) The provisions of this subparagraph (C)
5            are intended to clarify existing law.
6            (D) If including the base income and factors of a
7        holding company in more than one unitary business group
8        under subparagraph (C) does not fairly reflect the
9        degree of integration between the holding company and
10        one or more of the unitary business groups, the
11        dependence of the holding company and one or more of
12        the unitary business groups upon each other, or the
13        contributions between the holding company and one or
14        more of the unitary business groups, the holding
15        company may petition the Director, under the
16        procedures provided under Section 304(f), for
17        permission to include all base income and factors of
18        the holding company only with members of a unitary
19        business group apportioning their business income
20        under one subsection of subsections (a), (b), (c), or
21        (d) of Section 304. If the petition is granted, the
22        holding company shall be included in a unitary business
23        group only with persons apportioning their business
24        income under the selected subsection of Section 304
25        until the Director grants a petition of the holding
26        company either to be included in more than one unitary

 

 

09700HB1883sam006- 184 -LRB097 08685 HLH 60078 a

1        business group under subparagraph (C) or to include its
2        base income and factors only with members of a unitary
3        business group apportioning their business income
4        under a different subsection of Section 304.
5            (E) If the unitary business group members'
6        accounting periods differ, the common parent's
7        accounting period or, if there is no common parent, the
8        accounting period of the member that is expected to
9        have, on a recurring basis, the greatest Illinois
10        income tax liability must be used to determine whether
11        to use the apportionment method provided in subsection
12        (a) or subsection (h) of Section 304. The prohibition
13        against membership in a unitary business group for
14        taxpayers ordinarily required to apportion income
15        under different subsections of Section 304 does not
16        apply to taxpayers required to apportion income under
17        subsection (a) and subsection (h) of Section 304. The
18        provisions of this amendatory Act of 1998 apply to tax
19        years ending on or after December 31, 1998.
20        (28) Subchapter S corporation. The term "Subchapter S
21    corporation" means a corporation for which there is in
22    effect an election under Section 1362 of the Internal
23    Revenue Code, or for which there is a federal election to

26    Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1, 1982.
