12                amount, the interest income of that
13                corporation from qualifying loans shall be
14                equal to its interest income from loans to
15                members of its affiliated groups times a
16                fraction equal to the limitation amount
17                divided by the average outstanding balances of
18                the loans made by that corporation to members
19                of its affiliated group;
20                    (c) the total of all shareholder's equity
21                (including, without limitation, paid-in

26                affiliated group may not exceed 20% of the

 

 

10200SB2430ham001- 11 -LRB102 10351 HLH 35527 a

1                total assets of the corporation at any time
2                during the tax year; and
3                    (d) more than 50% of all interest-bearing
4                obligations of the affiliated group payable to
5                persons outside the group determined in
6                accordance with generally accepted accounting

10        is declaratory of existing law.
11            (D) Subparagraphs (B) and (C) of this paragraph
12        are declaratory of existing law and apply
13        retroactively, for all tax years beginning on or
14        before December 31, 1996, to all original returns, to
15        all amended returns filed no later than 30 days after
16        the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1996, and
17        to all notices issued on or before the effective date
18        of this amendatory Act of 1996 under subsection (a) of
19        Section 903, subsection (a) of Section 904, subsection
20        (e) of Section 909, or Section 912. A taxpayer that is

10200SB2430ham001- 12 -LRB102 10351 HLH 35527 a

1        subparagraphs (B) or (C) of this paragraph, but who
2        does not fall within the definition of a "financial
3        organization" under the Proposed Regulations issued by
4        the Department of Revenue on July 19, 1996, may
5        irrevocably elect to apply the Proposed Regulations
6        for all of those years as though the Proposed
7        Regulations had been lawfully promulgated, adopted,

11        subparagraph applies only to the taxpayer making the
12        election and to those members of the taxpayer's

14        apportion business income under the same subsection of
15        Section 304 of this Act as the taxpayer making the
16        election. No election allowed by this subparagraph

1        will not include those members whose business activity
2        outside the United States is 80% or more of any such
3        member's total business activity; for purposes of this
4        paragraph and clause (a)(3)(B)(ii) of Section 304,
5        business activity within the United States shall be
6        measured by means of the factors ordinarily applicable
7        under subsections (a), (b), (c), (d), or (h) of
8        Section 304 except that, in the case of members
9        ordinarily required to apportion business income by
10        means of the 3 factor formula of property, payroll and
11        sales specified in subsection (a) of Section 304,
12        including the formula as weighted in subsection (h) of
13        Section 304, such members shall not use the sales
14        factor in the computation and the results of the
15        property and payroll factor computations of subsection
16        (a) of Section 304 shall be divided by 2 (by one if
17        either the property or payroll factor has a
18        denominator of zero). The computation required by the
19        preceding sentence shall, in each case, involve the
20        division of the member's property, payroll, or revenue
21        miles in the United States, insurance premiums on
22        property or risk in the United States, or financial
23        organization business income from sources within the
24        United States, as the case may be, by the respective
25        worldwide figures for such items. Common ownership in
26        the case of corporations is the direct or indirect

 

 

10200SB2430ham001- 23 -LRB102 10351 HLH 35527 a

1        control or ownership of more than 50% of the
2        outstanding voting stock of the persons carrying on
3        unitary business activity. Unitary business activity
4        can ordinarily be illustrated where the activities of
5        the members are: (1) in the same general line (such as
6        manufacturing, wholesaling, retailing of tangible
7        personal property, insurance, transportation or
8        finance); or (2) are steps in a vertically structured
9        enterprise or process (such as the steps involved in
10        the production of natural resources, which might
11        include exploration, mining, refining, and marketing);
12        and, in either instance, the members are functionally
13        integrated through the exercise of strong centralized
14        management (where, for example, authority over such
15        matters as purchasing, financing, tax compliance,
16        product line, personnel, marketing and capital
17        investment is not left to each member).
18            (B) In no event, for taxable years ending prior to
19        December 31, 2017, shall any unitary business group
20        include members which are ordinarily required to
21        apportion business income under different subsections
22        of Section 304 except that for tax years ending on or
23        after December 31, 1987 this prohibition shall not
24        apply to a holding company that would otherwise be a
25        member of a unitary business group with taxpayers that
26        apportion business income under any of subsections

 

 

10200SB2430ham001- 24 -LRB102 10351 HLH 35527 a

1        (b), (c), (c-1), or (d) of Section 304. If a unitary
2        business group would, but for the preceding sentence,
3        include members that are ordinarily required to
4        apportion business income under different subsections
5        of Section 304, then for each subsection of Section
6        304 for which there are two or more members, there
7        shall be a separate unitary business group composed of
8        such members. For purposes of the preceding two
9        sentences, a member is "ordinarily required to
10        apportion business income" under a particular
11        subsection of Section 304 if it would be required to
12        use the apportionment method prescribed by such
13        subsection except for the fact that it derives
14        business income solely from Illinois. As used in this
15        paragraph, for taxable years ending before December
16        31, 2017, the phrase "United States" means only the 50
17        states and the District of Columbia, but does not
18        include any territory or possession of the United
19        States or any area over which the United States has
20        asserted jurisdiction or claimed exclusive rights with
21        respect to the exploration for or exploitation of
22        natural resources. For taxable years ending on or
23        after December 31, 2017, the phrase "United States",
24        as used in this paragraph, means only the 50 states,
25        the District of Columbia, and any area over which the
26        United States has asserted jurisdiction or claimed

 

 

10200SB2430ham001- 25 -LRB102 10351 HLH 35527 a

1        exclusive rights with respect to the exploration for
2        or exploitation of natural resources, but does not
3        include any territory or possession of the United
4        States.
5            (C) Holding companies.
6                (i) For purposes of this subparagraph, a
7            "holding company" is a corporation (other than a
8            corporation that is a financial organization under
9            paragraph (8) of this subsection (a) of Section
10            1501 because it is a bank holding company under
11            the provisions of the Bank Holding Company Act of
12            1956 (12 U.S.C. 1841, et seq.) or because it is
13            owned by a bank or a bank holding company) that
14            owns a controlling interest in one or more other
15            taxpayers ("controlled taxpayers"); that, during
16            the period that includes the taxable year and the
17            2 immediately preceding taxable years or, if the
18            corporation was formed during the current or
19            immediately preceding taxable year, the taxable
20            years in which the corporation has been in
21            existence, derived substantially all its gross
22            income from dividends, interest, rents, royalties,
23            fees or other charges received from controlled
24            taxpayers for the provision of services, and gains
25            on the sale or other disposition of interests in
26            controlled taxpayers or in property leased or

 

 

10200SB2430ham001- 26 -LRB102 10351 HLH 35527 a

1            licensed to controlled taxpayers or used by the
2            taxpayer in providing services to controlled
3            taxpayers; and that incurs no substantial expenses
4            other than expenses (including interest and other
5            costs of borrowing) incurred in connection with
6            the acquisition and holding of interests in
7            controlled taxpayers and in the provision of
8            services to controlled taxpayers or in the leasing
9            or licensing of property to controlled taxpayers.
10                (ii) The income of a holding company which is
11            a member of more than one unitary business group
12            shall be included in each unitary business group
13            of which it is a member on a pro rata basis, by
14            including in each unitary business group that
15            portion of the base income of the holding company
16            that bears the same proportion to the total base
17            income of the holding company as the gross
18            receipts of the unitary business group bears to
19            the combined gross receipts of all unitary
20            business groups (in both cases without regard to
21            the holding company) or on any other reasonable
22            basis, consistently applied.
23                (iii) A holding company shall apportion its
24            business income under the subsection of Section
25            304 used by the other members of its unitary
26            business group. The apportionment factors of a

 

 

10200SB2430ham001- 27 -LRB102 10351 HLH 35527 a

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

 

 

10200SB2430ham001- 28 -LRB102 10351 HLH 35527 a

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

 

 

10200SB2430ham001- 29 -LRB102 10351 HLH 35527 a

1    Revenue Code, or for which there is a federal election to
2    opt out of the provisions of the Subchapter S Revision Act
3    of 1982 and have applied instead the prior federal
4    Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1, 1982.
5        (30) Foreign person. The term "foreign person" means
6    any person who is a nonresident alien individual and any
7    nonindividual entity, regardless of where created or
8    organized, whose business activity outside the United
9    States is 80% or more of the entity's total business
10    activity.
 
11    (b) Other definitions.
12        (1) Words denoting number, gender, and so forth, when
13    used in this Act, where not otherwise distinctly expressed
14    or manifestly incompatible with the intent thereof:
15            (A) Words importing the singular include and apply
16        to several persons, parties or things;
17            (B) Words importing the plural include the
18        singular; and
19            (C) Words importing the masculine gender include
20        the feminine as well.
21        (2) "Company" or "association" as including successors
22    and assigns. The word "company" or "association", when
23    used in reference to a corporation, shall be deemed to
24    embrace the words "successors and assigns of such company
25    or association", and in like manner as if these last-named

 

 

10200SB2430ham001- 30 -LRB102 10351 HLH 35527 a

1    words, or words of similar import, were expressed.

3    Act with respect to the application of, or in connection
4    with, the provisions of any other Section of this Act
