HB5237 - 11 - LRB096 18847 HLH 34233 b

1         group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
2         under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
3         unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
4         required to apportion business income under different
5         subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
6         required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
7         extent that dividends were included in base income of

11         included in gross income under Sections 951 through 964
12         of the Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in
13         gross income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue
14         Code) with respect to the stock of the same person to
15         whom the interest was paid, accrued, or incurred.
16             This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
17                 (i) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
18             incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person who
19             is subject in a foreign country or state, other
20             than a state which requires mandatory unitary
21             reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
22             with respect to such interest; or
23                 (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
24             incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
25             the taxpayer can establish, based on a
26             preponderance of the evidence, both of the

 

 

HB5237 - 12 - LRB096 18847 HLH 34233 b

1             following:
2                     (a) the person, during the same taxable
3                 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
4                 to a person that is not a related member, and
5                     (b) the transaction giving rise to the
6                 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
7                 person did not have as a principal purpose the
8                 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
9                 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
10                 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
11                 terms; or
12                 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
13             clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
14             paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
15             agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
16             terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
17             not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
18                 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
19             incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
20             the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
21             evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
22             if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
23             to the application or use of an alternative method
24             of apportionment under Section 304(f).
25                 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
26             Director from making any other adjustment

 

 

HB5237 - 13 - LRB096 18847 HLH 34233 b

1             otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
2             any tax year beginning after the effective date of
3             this amendment provided such adjustment is made
4             pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
5             and such regulations provide methods and standards
6             by which the Department will utilize its authority
7             under Section 404 of this Act;
8             (D-18) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
9         expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
10         computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
11         incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
12         years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
13         foreign person who would be a member of the same
14         unitary business group but for the fact that the
15         foreign person's business activity outside the United
16         States is 80% or more of that person's total business
17         activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
18         December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
19         the same unitary business group but for the fact that
20         the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
21         from being included in the unitary business group
22         because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
23         business income under different subsections of Section
24         304. The addition modification required by this
25         subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
26         dividends were included in base income of the unitary

 

 

HB5237 - 14 - LRB096 18847 HLH 34233 b

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

 

 

HB5237 - 15 - LRB096 18847 HLH 34233 b

1             This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
2                 (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
3             paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
4             indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
5             subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
6             state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
7             to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
8             to such item; or
9                 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
10             paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
11             indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
12             on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
13             following:
14                     (a) the person during the same taxable
15                 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
16                 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
17                 not a related member, and
18                     (b) the transaction giving rise to the
19                 intangible expense or cost between the
20                 taxpayer and the person did not have as a
21                 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
22                 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
23                 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
24                 or
25                 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
26             paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or

 

 

HB5237 - 16 - LRB096 18847 HLH 34233 b

1             indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
2             taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
3             evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
4             or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
5             writing to the application or use of an alternative
6             method of apportionment under Section 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-19) For taxable years ending on or after
17         December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
18         insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
19         as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
20         paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
21         a person who would be a member of the same unitary
22         business group but for the fact that the person is
23         prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
24         included in the unitary business group because he or
25         she is ordinarily required to apportion business
26         income under different subsections of Section 304. The

 

 

HB5237 - 17 - LRB096 18847 HLH 34233 b

1         addition modification required by this subparagraph
2         shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were

15         group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
16         under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
17         unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
18         required to apportion business income under different

1         years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
2         who would be a member of the same unitary business
3         group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
4         under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the

25             with respect to such interest; or
26                 (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or

 

 

HB5237 - 38 - LRB096 18847 HLH 34233 b

1             incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
2             the taxpayer can establish, based on a
3             preponderance of the evidence, both of the
4             following:
5                     (a) the person, during the same taxable
6                 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
7                 to a person that is not a related member, and
8                     (b) the transaction giving rise to the
9                 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
10                 person did not have as a principal purpose the
11                 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
12                 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
13                 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
14                 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 person if
23             the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
24             evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
25             if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
26             to the application or use of an alternative method

 

 

HB5237 - 39 - LRB096 18847 HLH 34233 b

1             of apportionment under Section 304(f).
2                 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
3             Director from making any other adjustment
4             otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
5             any tax year beginning after the effective date of
6             this amendment provided such adjustment is made
7             pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
8             and such regulations provide methods and standards
9             by which the Department will utilize its authority
10             under Section 404 of this Act;

12         expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
13         computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
14         incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
15         years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
16         foreign person who would be a member of the same
17         unitary business group but for the fact that the
18         foreign person's business activity outside the United
19         States is 80% or more of that person's total business
20         activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
21         December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
22         the same unitary business group but for the fact that
23         the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
24         from being included in the unitary business group
25         because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
26         business income under different subsections of Section

 

 

HB5237 - 40 - LRB096 18847 HLH 34233 b

1         304. The addition modification required by this
2         subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
3         dividends were included in base income of the unitary
4         group for the same taxable year and received by the
5         taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
6         business group (including amounts included in gross
7         income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the
8         Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross
9         income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
10         with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
11         the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
12         indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
13         sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
14         dividends caused a reduction to the addition
15         modification required under Section 203(b)(2)(E-12) of
16         this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
17         "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,
18         losses, and costs for, or related to, the direct or
19         indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or management,
20         ownership, sale, exchange, or any other disposition of

22         indirectly, from factoring transactions or discounting
23         transactions; (3) royalty, patent, technical, and

25         similar expenses and costs. For purposes of this
26         subparagraph, "intangible property" includes patents,

2         marks, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets, and
3         similar types of intangible assets.
4             This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
5                 (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
6             paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
7             indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
8             subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
9             state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
10             to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
11             to such item; or
12                 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
13             paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
14             indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
15             on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
16             following:
17                     (a) the person during the same taxable
18                 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
19                 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
20                 not a related member, and
21                     (b) the transaction giving rise to the
22                 intangible expense or cost between the
23                 taxpayer and the person did not have as a
24                 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
25                 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
26                 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;

 

 

HB5237 - 42 - LRB096 18847 HLH 34233 b

1                 or
2                 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
3             paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
4             indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
5             taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
6             evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
7             or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
8             writing to the application or use of an alternative
9             method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
10                 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
11             Director from making any other adjustment
12             otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
13             any tax year beginning after the effective date of
14             this amendment provided such adjustment is made
15             pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
16             and such regulations provide methods and standards
17             by which the Department will utilize its authority
18             under Section 404 of this Act;
19             (E-14) For taxable years ending on or after
20         December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
21         insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
22         as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
23         paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
24         a person who would be a member of the same unitary
25         business group but for the fact that the person is
26         prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being

 

 

HB5237 - 43 - LRB096 18847 HLH 34233 b

1         included in the unitary business group because he or
2         she is ordinarily required to apportion business
3         income under different subsections of Section 304. The
4         addition modification required by this subparagraph
5         shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
6         included in base income of the unitary group for the
7         same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
8         member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
9         (including amounts included in gross income under
10         Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
11         and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
12         of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
13         of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
14         directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
15         preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
16         the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
17         modification required under Section 203(b)(2)(E-12) or
18         Section 203(b)(2)(E-13) of this Act;
19             (E-15) For taxable years beginning after December
20         31, 2008, any deduction for dividends paid by a captive

19             following:
20                     (a) the person, during the same taxable
21                 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest

3                 terms; or
4                 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
5             clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
6             paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
7             agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
8             terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
9             not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
10                 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
11             incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
12             the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing

2         computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
3         incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
4         years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
5         foreign person who would be a member of the same
6         unitary business group but for the fact that the

8         States is 80% or more of that person's total business
9         activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
10         December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of

12         the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
13         from being included in the unitary business group
14         because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
15         business income under different subsections of Section
16         304. The addition modification required by this
17         subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
18         dividends were included in base income of the unitary
19         group for the same taxable year and received by the
20         taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
21         business group (including amounts included in gross
22         income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the

HB5237 - 63 - LRB096 18847 HLH 34233 b

1         indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
2         sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
3         dividends caused a reduction to the addition
4         modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) of
5         this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
6         "intangible expenses and costs" includes: (1)
7         expenses, losses, and costs for or related to the
8         direct or indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or
9         management, ownership, sale, exchange, or any other
10         disposition of intangible property; (2) losses
11         incurred, directly or indirectly, from factoring
12         transactions or discounting transactions; (3) royalty,
13         patent, technical, and copyright fees; (4) licensing

7                 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
8                 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
9                 not a related member, and
10                     (b) the transaction giving rise to the

16         included in the unitary business group because he or
17         she is ordinarily required to apportion business
18         income under different subsections of Section 304. The

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

23             to the application or use of an alternative method
24             of apportionment under Section 304(f).

6             by which the Department will utilize its authority
7             under Section 404 of this Act; and
8             (D-8) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
9         expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
10         computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
11         incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
12         years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
13         foreign person who would be a member of the same
14         unitary business group but for the fact that the
15         foreign person's business activity outside the United
16         States is 80% or more of that person's total business
17         activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
18         December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
19         the same unitary business group but for the fact that
20         the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
21         from being included in the unitary business group
22         because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
23         business income under different subsections of Section
24         304. The addition modification required by this
25         subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
26         dividends were included in base income of the unitary

2         taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary

7         with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
8         the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
9         indirectly paid, incurred or accrued. The preceding
10         sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
11         dividends caused a reduction to the addition
12         modification required under Section 203(d)(2)(D-7) of
13         this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
14         "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,
15         losses, and costs for, or related to, the direct or
16         indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or management,
17         ownership, sale, exchange, or any other disposition of

19         indirectly, from factoring transactions or discounting
20         transactions; (3) royalty, patent, technical, and

22         similar expenses and costs. For purposes of this
23         subparagraph, "intangible property" includes patents,
24         patent applications, trade names, trademarks, service

26         similar types of intangible assets;

1             This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
2                 (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
3             paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
4             indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
5             subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
6             state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
7             to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
8             to such item; or
9                 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
10             paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
11             indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
12             on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
13             following:
14                     (a) the person during the same taxable
15                 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
16                 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
17                 not a related member, and
18                     (b) the transaction giving rise to the
19                 intangible expense or cost between the
20                 taxpayer and the person did not have as a
21                 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
22                 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
23                 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
24                 or
25                 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
26             paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or

 

 

HB5237 - 82 - LRB096 18847 HLH 34233 b

1             indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
2             taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
3             evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
4             or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
5             writing to the application or use of an alternative
6             method of apportionment under Section 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-9) For taxable years ending on or after December
17         31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of insurance
18         premium 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         person who would be a member of the same unitary
22         business group but for the fact that the person is
23         prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
24         included in the unitary business group because he or
25         she is ordinarily required to apportion business
26         income under different subsections of Section 304. The

 

 

HB5237 - 83 - LRB096 18847 HLH 34233 b

1         addition modification required by this subparagraph
2         shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
3         included in base income of the unitary group for the
4         same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
5         member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
6         (including amounts included in gross income under
7         Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
8         and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
9         of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
10         of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
11         directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
12         preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
13         the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
14         modification required under Section 203(d)(2)(D-7) or
15         Section 203(d)(2)(D-8) of this Act;
16             (D-10) An amount equal to the credit allowable to
17         the taxpayer under Section 218(a) of this Act,

3         for the taxable year for federal income tax purposes,
4         taxable income determined as if such corporation had
5         filed a separate return for federal income tax purposes
6         for the taxable year and each preceding taxable year
7         for which it was a member of an affiliated group. For
8         purposes of this subparagraph, the taxpayer's separate

11         Code had been in effect for all such years;
12             (F) Cooperatives. In the case of a cooperative

5         corporation determined in accordance with the federal
6         Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1, 1982; and
7             (H) Partnerships. In the case of a partnership,
8         taxable income determined in accordance with Section
9         703 of the Internal Revenue Code, except that taxable
10         income shall take into account those items which are

12         but which would be taken into account by an individual
13         in calculating his taxable income.
14         (3) Recapture of business expenses on disposition of
15     asset or business. Notwithstanding any other law to the
16     contrary, if in prior years income from an asset or
17     business has been classified as business income and in a
18     later year is demonstrated to be non-business income, then
19     all expenses, without limitation, deducted in such later
20     year and in the 2 immediately preceding taxable years
21     related to that asset or business that generated the
22     non-business income shall be added back and recaptured as
23     business income in the year of the disposition of the asset
24     or business. Such amount shall be apportioned to Illinois
25     using the greater of the apportionment fraction computed
26     for the business under Section 304 of this Act for the

 

 

HB5237 - 95 - LRB096 18847 HLH 34233 b

1     taxable year or the average of the apportionment fractions

6         (1) In general. The valuation limitation amount
7     referred to in subsections (a) (2) (G), (c) (2) (I) and
8     (d)(2) (E) is an amount equal to:
9             (A) The sum of the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
10         amounts (to the extent consisting of gain reportable
11         under the provisions of Section 1245 or 1250 of the
12         Internal Revenue Code) for all property in respect of
13         which such gain was reported for the taxable year; plus
14             (B) The lesser of (i) the sum of the pre-August 1,
15         1969 appreciation amounts (to the extent consisting of
16         capital gain) for all property in respect of which such
17         gain was reported for federal income tax purposes for
18         the taxable year, or (ii) the net capital gain for the
19         taxable year, reduced in either case by any amount of
20         such gain included in the amount determined under
21         subsection (a) (2) (F) or (c) (2) (H).
22         (2) Pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount.
23             (A) If the fair market value of property referred
24         to in paragraph (1) was readily ascertainable on August
25         1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount for

 

 

HB5237 - 96 - LRB096 18847 HLH 34233 b

1         such property is the lesser of (i) the excess of such
2         fair market value over the taxpayer's basis (for
3         determining gain) for such property on that date
4         (determined under the Internal Revenue Code as in
5         effect on that date), or (ii) the total gain realized
6         and reportable for federal income tax purposes in
7         respect of the sale, exchange or other disposition of
8         such property.
9             (B) If the fair market value of property referred
10         to in paragraph (1) was not readily ascertainable on
11         August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
12         amount for such property is that amount which bears the
13         same ratio to the total gain reported in respect of the
14         property for federal income tax purposes for the
15         taxable year, as the number of full calendar months in
16         that part of the taxpayer's holding period for the
17         property ending July 31, 1969 bears to the number of
18         full calendar months in the taxpayer's entire holding
19         period for the property.
20             (C) The Department shall prescribe such
21         regulations as may be necessary to carry out the
22         purposes of this paragraph.

24 otherwise, nothing in this Section shall permit the same item
25 to be deducted more than once.
