5        for all tax years beginning on or before December 31,
6        1996, to all original returns, to all amended returns
7        filed no later than 30 days after the effective date of
8        this amendatory Act of 1996, and to all notices issued
9        on or before the effective date of this amendatory Act
10        of 1996 under subsection (a) of Section 903, subsection
11        (a) of Section 904, subsection (e) of Section 909, or
12        Section 912. A taxpayer that is a "financial
13        organization" that engages in any transaction with an
14        affiliate shall be a "financial organization" for all

17        December 31, 1996, a taxpayer that falls within the

19        subparagraphs (B) or (C) of this paragraph, but who
20        does not fall within the definition of a "financial
21        organization" under the Proposed Regulations issued by
22        the Department of Revenue on July 19, 1996, may

24        for all of those years as though the Proposed
25        Regulations had been lawfully promulgated, adopted,
26        and in effect for all of those years. For purposes of

HB3419- 24 -LRB100 08561 MLM 18686 b

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

 

 

HB3419- 25 -LRB100 08561 MLM 18686 b

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

 

 

HB3419- 26 -LRB100 08561 MLM 18686 b

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

 

 

HB3419- 27 -LRB100 08561 MLM 18686 b

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

 

 

HB3419- 28 -LRB100 08561 MLM 18686 b

1                (ii) The income of a holding company which is a
2            member of more than one unitary business group
3            shall be included in each unitary business group of
4            which it is a member on a pro rata basis, by
5            including in each unitary business group that
6            portion of the base income of the holding company
7            that bears the same proportion to the total base
8            income of the holding company as the gross receipts
9            of the unitary business group bears to the combined
10            gross receipts of all unitary business groups (in
11            both cases without regard to the holding company)
12            or on any other reasonable basis, consistently
13            applied.
14                (iii) A holding company shall apportion its
15            business income under the subsection of Section
16            304 used by the other members of its unitary
17            business group. The apportionment factors of a
18            holding company which would be a member of more
19            than one unitary business group shall be included
20            with the apportionment factors of each unitary
21            business group of which it is a member on a pro
22            rata basis using the same method used in clause
23            (ii).
24                (iv) The provisions of this subparagraph (C)
25            are intended to clarify existing law.
26            (D) If including the base income and factors of a

 

 

HB3419- 29 -LRB100 08561 MLM 18686 b

1        holding company in more than one unitary business group
2        under subparagraph (C) does not fairly reflect the
3        degree of integration between the holding company and
4        one or more of the unitary business groups, the
5        dependence of the holding company and one or more of
6        the unitary business groups upon each other, or the
7        contributions between the holding company and one or
8        more of the unitary business groups, the holding
9        company may petition the Director, under the
10        procedures provided under Section 304(f), for
11        permission to include all base income and factors of
12        the holding company only with members of a unitary
13        business group apportioning their business income
14        under one subsection of subsections (a), (b), (c), or
15        (d) of Section 304. If the petition is granted, the
16        holding company shall be included in a unitary business
17        group only with persons apportioning their business
18        income under the selected subsection of Section 304
19        until the Director grants a petition of the holding
20        company either to be included in more than one unitary
21        business group under subparagraph (C) or to include its
22        base income and factors only with members of a unitary
23        business group apportioning their business income
24        under a different subsection of Section 304.
25            (E) If the unitary business group members'
26        accounting periods differ, the common parent's

 

 

HB3419- 30 -LRB100 08561 MLM 18686 b

1        accounting period or, if there is no common parent, the
2        accounting period of the member that is expected to
3        have, on a recurring basis, the greatest Illinois
4        income tax liability must be used to determine whether
5        to use the apportionment method provided in subsection
6        (a) or subsection (h) of Section 304. The prohibition
7        against membership in a unitary business group for
8        taxpayers ordinarily required to apportion income
9        under different subsections of Section 304 does not
10        apply to taxpayers required to apportion income under
11        subsection (a) and subsection (h) of Section 304. The
12        provisions of this amendatory Act of 1998 apply to tax
13        years ending on or after December 31, 1998.

15    corporation" means a corporation for which there is in
16    effect an election under Section 1362 of the Internal
17    Revenue Code, or for which there is a federal election to
18    opt out of the provisions of the Subchapter S Revision Act
