3                 (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or

7             following:
8                     (a) the foreign person, during the same
9                 taxable year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the
10                 interest to a person that is not a related
11                 member, and
12                     (b) the transaction giving rise to the
13                 interest expense between the taxpayer and the

18                 and terms; or
19                 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
20             clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
21             paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or

23             terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
24             not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
25                 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or

1             person if the taxpayer establishes by clear and
2             convincing evidence that the adjustments are
3             unreasonable; or if the taxpayer and the Director
4             agree in writing to the application or use of an
5             alternative method of apportionment under Section
6             304(f).
7                 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
8             Director from making any other adjustment
9             otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
10             any tax year beginning after the effective date of
11             this amendment provided such adjustment is made
12             pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
13             and such regulations provide methods and standards
14             by which the Department will utilize its authority
15             under Section 404 of this Act;
16             (D-18) For taxable years ending on or after
17         December 31, 2004, an amount equal to the amount of
18         intangible expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a
19         deduction in computing base income, and that were paid,
20         accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to a
21         foreign person who would be a member of the same
22         unitary business group but for the fact that the
23         foreign person's business activity outside the United
24         States is 80% or more of that person's total business
25         activity. The addition modification required by this
26         subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that

 

 

HB1857 - 7 - LRB095 03926 BDD 28576 b

1         dividends were included in base income of the unitary
2         group for the same taxable year and received by the

4         business group (including amounts included in gross
5         income under Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal
6         Revenue Code and amounts included in gross income under
7         Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect
8         to the stock of the same person to whom the intangible
9         expenses and costs were directly or indirectly paid,
10         incurred, or accrued. The preceding sentence does not
11         apply to the extent that the same dividends caused a
12         reduction to the addition modification required under
13         Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) of this Act. As used in this
14         subparagraph, the term "intangible expenses and costs"
15         includes (1) expenses, losses, and costs for, or
16         related to, the direct or indirect acquisition, use,
17         maintenance or management, ownership, sale, exchange,
18         or any other disposition of intangible property; (2)
19         losses incurred, directly or indirectly, from
20         factoring transactions or discounting transactions;
21         (3) royalty, patent, technical, and copyright fees;
22         (4) licensing fees; and (5) other similar expenses and
23         costs. For purposes of this subparagraph, "intangible
24         property" includes patents, patent applications, trade
25         names, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask
26         works, trade secrets, and similar types of intangible

2             This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
3                 (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
4             paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
5             indirectly, from a transaction with a foreign
6             person who is subject in a foreign country or
7             state, other than a state which requires mandatory
8             unitary reporting, to a tax on or measured by net
9             income with respect to such item; or
10                 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
11             paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
12             indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
13             on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
14             following:
15                     (a) the foreign person during the same
16                 taxable year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
17                 intangible expense or cost to a person that is

19                     (b) the transaction giving rise to the
20                 intangible expense or cost between the
21                 taxpayer and the foreign person did not have as
22                 a principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
23                 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
24                 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
25                 or

6             agree in writing to the application or use of an
7             alternative method of apportionment under Section
8             304(f);
9                 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
10             Director from making any other adjustment
11             otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
12             any tax year beginning after the effective date of
13             this amendment provided such adjustment is made

6                 interest to a person that is not a related
7                 member, and
8                     (b) the transaction giving rise to the

14                 and terms; or
15                 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
16             clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
17             paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
18             agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
19             terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
20             not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
21                 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
22             incurred, directly or indirectly, to a foreign

HB1857 - 28 - LRB095 03926 BDD 28576 b

1             alternative method of apportionment under Section
2             304(f).
3                 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
4             Director from making any other adjustment
5             otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
6             any tax year beginning after the effective date of
7             this amendment provided such adjustment is made
8             pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
9             and such regulations provide methods and standards
10             by which the Department will utilize its authority
11             under Section 404 of this Act;
12             (E-13) For taxable years ending on or after
13         December 31, 2004, an amount equal to the amount of

5         the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
6         indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding

11         "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,
12         losses, and costs for, or related to, the direct or
13         indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or management,
14         ownership, sale, exchange, or any other disposition of

5             income with respect to such item; or
6                 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
7             paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or

9             on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
10             following:
11                     (a) the foreign person during the same
12                 taxable year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
13                 intangible expense or cost to a person that is

15                     (b) the transaction giving rise to the
16                 intangible expense or cost between the

1             unreasonable; or if the taxpayer and the Director
2             agree in writing to the application or use of an
3             alternative method of apportionment under Section
4             304(f);
5                 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
6             Director from making any other adjustment
7             otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
8             any tax year beginning after the effective date of
9             this amendment provided such adjustment is made
10             pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
11             and such regulations provide methods and standards
12             by which the Department will utilize its authority
13             under Section 404 of this Act;
14     and by deducting from the total so obtained the sum of the
15     following amounts:

HB1857 - 48 - LRB095 03926 BDD 28576 b

1             under Section 404 of this Act;
2             (G-13) For taxable years ending on or after
3         December 31, 2004, an amount equal to the amount of
4         intangible expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a
5         deduction in computing base income, and that were paid,
6         accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to a
7         foreign person who would be a member of the same
8         unitary business group but for the fact that the
9         foreign person's business activity outside the United
10         States is 80% or more of that person's total business
11         activity. The addition modification required by this
12         subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
13         dividends were included in base income of the unitary
14         group for the same taxable year and received by the
15         taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
16         business group (including amounts included in gross
17         income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the
18         Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross
19         income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
20         with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
21         the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
22         indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
23         sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
24         dividends caused a reduction to the addition
25         modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) of
26         this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term

2         expenses, losses, and costs for or related to the
3         direct or indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or
4         management, ownership, sale, exchange, or any other
5         disposition of intangible property; (2) losses
6         incurred, directly or indirectly, from factoring
7         transactions or discounting transactions; (3) royalty,

11         includes patents, patent applications, trade names,
12         trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask works,
13         trade secrets, and similar types of intangible assets.
14             This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
15                 (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
16             paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
17             indirectly, from a transaction with a foreign
18             person who is subject in a foreign country or
19             state, other than a state which requires mandatory
20             unitary reporting, to a tax on or measured by net
21             income with respect to such item; or
22                 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
23             paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
24             indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
25             on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
26             following:

2                 taxable year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
3                 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
4                 not a related member, and
5                     (b) the transaction giving rise to the
6                 intangible expense or cost between the
7                 taxpayer and the foreign person did not have as
8                 a principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
9                 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
10                 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
11                 or
12                 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
13             paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
14             indirectly, from a transaction with a foreign
15             person if the taxpayer establishes by clear and
16             convincing evidence, that the adjustments are
17             unreasonable; or if the taxpayer and the Director
18             agree in writing to the application or use of an
19             alternative method of apportionment under Section
20             304(f);
21                 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
22             Director from making any other adjustment
23             otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
24             any tax year beginning after the effective date of

17             agree in writing to the application or use of an
18             alternative method of apportionment under Section
19             304(f).
20                 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
21             Director from making any other adjustment
22             otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for

6         computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
7         incurred, directly or indirectly, to a foreign person
8         who would be a member of the same unitary business
9         group but for the fact that the foreign person's

22         filed a separate return for federal income tax purposes
23         for the taxable year and each preceding taxable year
24         for which it was a member of an affiliated group. For
25         purposes of this subparagraph, the taxpayer's separate

10     all expenses, without limitation, deducted in such later
11     year and in the 2 immediately preceding taxable years
12     related to that asset or business that generated the
13     non-business income shall be added back and recaptured as
14     business income in the year of the disposition of the asset
15     or business. Such amount shall be apportioned to Illinois
16     using the greater of the apportionment fraction computed
17     for the business under Section 304 of this Act for the
18     taxable year or the average of the apportionment fractions
19     computed for the business under Section 304 of this Act for
20     the taxable year and for the 2 immediately preceding

1         amounts (to the extent consisting of gain reportable
2         under the provisions of Section 1245 or 1250 of the
3         Internal Revenue Code) for all property in respect of
4         which such gain was reported for the taxable year; plus
5             (B) The lesser of (i) the sum of the pre-August 1,
6         1969 appreciation amounts (to the extent consisting of
7         capital gain) for all property in respect of which such
8         gain was reported for federal income tax purposes for
9         the taxable year, or (ii) the net capital gain for the
10         taxable year, reduced in either case by any amount of
11         such gain included in the amount determined under
12         subsection (a) (2) (F) or (c) (2) (H).
13         (2) Pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount.
14             (A) If the fair market value of property referred
15         to in paragraph (1) was readily ascertainable on August
16         1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount for
17         such property is the lesser of (i) the excess of such
18         fair market value over the taxpayer's basis (for
19         determining gain) for such property on that date
20         (determined under the Internal Revenue Code as in
21         effect on that date), or (ii) the total gain realized
22         and reportable for federal income tax purposes in
23         respect of the sale, exchange or other disposition of
24         such property.
25             (B) If the fair market value of property referred
26         to in paragraph (1) was not readily ascertainable on

 

 

HB1857 - 78 - LRB095 03926 BDD 28576 b

1         August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
2         amount for such property is that amount which bears the
3         same ratio to the total gain reported in respect of the
4         property for federal income tax purposes for the
5         taxable year, as the number of full calendar months in
6         that part of the taxpayer's holding period for the
7         property ending July 31, 1969 bears to the number of
8         full calendar months in the taxpayer's entire holding
9         period for the property.
10             (C) The Department shall prescribe such
11         regulations as may be necessary to carry out the
12         purposes of this paragraph.
 
13     (g) Double deductions. Unless specifically provided
14 otherwise, nothing in this Section shall permit the same item
15 to be deducted more than once.
 
16     (h) Legislative intention. Except as expressly provided by
17 this Section there shall be no modifications or limitations on
18 the amounts of income, gain, loss or deduction taken into
19 account in determining gross income, adjusted gross income or
20 taxable income for federal income tax purposes for the taxable
21 year, or in the amount of such items entering into the
22 computation of base income and net income under this Act for
23 such taxable year, whether in respect of property values as of
