A BILL FOR AN ACT to amend the Indiana Code concerning
taxation.
much of such income as is allocated to this state under the provisions
of subsections (h) through (k) shall be deemed to be derived from
sources within Indiana. In the case of business income, only so much
of such income as is apportioned to this state under the provision of
subsection (b) shall be deemed to be derived from sources within the
state of Indiana. In the case of compensation of a team member (as
defined in section 2.7 of this chapter) only the portion of income
determined to be Indiana income under section 2.7 of this chapter is
considered derived from sources within Indiana. In the case of a
corporation that is a life insurance company (as defined in Section
816(a) of the Internal Revenue Code) or an insurance company that is
subject to tax under Section 831 of the Internal Revenue Code, only so
much of the income as is apportioned to Indiana under subsection (r)
is considered derived from sources within Indiana. For purposes of
this article, income received by a nonresident limited partner after
December 31, 2004, from a limited partnership engaged exclusively
in buying, selling, dealing in, or holding securities on the limited
partnership's own behalf and not as a broker is not adjusted gross
income derived from sources within Indiana, regardless of whether
the limited partnership's commercial domicile is in Indiana.
(b) Except as provided in subsection (l), if business income of a
corporation or a nonresident person is derived from sources within the
state of Indiana and from sources without the state of Indiana, then the
business income derived from sources within this state shall be
determined by multiplying the business income derived from sources
both within and without the state of Indiana by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the property factor plus the payroll factor plus
the sales factor, and the denominator of which is three (3). However,
after a period of two (2) consecutive quarters of income growth and one
(1) additional quarter (regardless of any income growth), the fraction
shall be computed as follows:
(1) For all taxable years that begin within the first calendar year
immediately following the period, the numerator of the fraction
is the sum of the property factor plus the payroll factor plus one
hundred thirty-three percent (133%) of the sales factor, and the
denominator of the fraction is three and thirty-three hundredths
(3.33).
(2) For all taxable years that begin within the second calendar
year following the period, the numerator of the fraction is the
property factor plus the payroll factor plus one hundred
sixty-seven percent (167%) of the sales factor, and the
denominator of the fraction is three and sixty-seven hundredths
(3.67).
(3) For all taxable years beginning on or after January 1 of the
third calendar year following the period, the numerator of the
fraction is the property factor plus the payroll factor plus two
hundred percent (200%) of the sales factor, and the denominator
of the fraction is four (4).
For purposes of this subsection, income growth occurs when the state's
nonfarm personal income for a calendar quarter increases in
comparison with the state's nonfarm personal income for the
immediately preceding quarter at an annualized compound rate of five
percent (5%) or more, as determined by the budget agency based on
current dollar figures provided by the Bureau of Economic Analysis of
the United States Department of Commerce or its successor agency.
The annualized compound rate shall be computed in accordance with
the formula (1+N)4-1, where N equals the percentage change in the
state's current dollar nonfarm personal income from one (1) quarter to
the next. As soon as possible after two (2) consecutive quarters of
income growth, the budget agency shall advise the department of the
growth.
(c) The property factor is a fraction, the numerator of which is the
average value of the taxpayer's real and tangible personal property
owned or rented and used in this state during the taxable year and the
denominator of which is the average value of all the taxpayer's real and
tangible personal property owned or rented and used during the taxable
year. However, with respect to a foreign corporation, the denominator
does not include the average value of real or tangible personal property
owned or rented and used in a place that is outside the United States.
Property owned by the taxpayer is valued at its original cost. Property
rented by the taxpayer is valued at eight (8) times the net annual rental
rate. Net annual rental rate is the annual rental rate paid by the taxpayer
less any annual rental rate received by the taxpayer from subrentals.
The average of property shall be determined by averaging the values at
the beginning and ending of the taxable year, but the department may
require the averaging of monthly values during the taxable year if
reasonably required to reflect properly the average value of the
taxpayer's property.
(d) The payroll factor is a fraction, the numerator of which is the
total amount paid in this state during the taxable year by the taxpayer
for compensation, and the denominator of which is the total
compensation paid everywhere during the taxable year. However, with
respect to a foreign corporation, the denominator does not include
compensation paid in a place that is outside the United States.
Compensation is paid in this state if:
(1) the individual's service is performed entirely within the state;
(2) the individual's service is performed both within and without
this state, but the service performed without this state is incidental
to the individual's service within this state; or
(3) some of the service is performed in this state and:
(A) the base of operations or, if there is no base of operations,
the place from which the service is directed or controlled is in
this state; or
(B) the base of operations or the place from which the service
is directed or controlled is not in any state in which some part
of the service is performed, but the individual is a resident of
this state.
(e) The sales factor is a fraction, the numerator of which is the total
sales of the taxpayer in this state during the taxable year, and the
denominator of which is the total sales of the taxpayer everywhere
during the taxable year. Sales include receipts from intangible property
and receipts from the sale or exchange of intangible property. However,
with respect to a foreign corporation, the denominator does not include
sales made in a place that is outside the United States. Receipts from
intangible personal property are derived from sources within Indiana
if the receipts from the intangible personal property are attributable to
Indiana under section 2.2 of this chapter. Sales of tangible personal
property are in this state if:
(1) the property is delivered or shipped to a purchaser, other than
the United States government, within this state, regardless of the
f.o.b. point or other conditions of the sale; or
(2) the property is shipped from an office, a store, a warehouse, a
factory, or other place of storage in this state and:
(A) the purchaser is the United States government; or
(B) the taxpayer is not taxable in the state of the purchaser.
Gross receipts derived from commercial printing as described in
IC 6-2.5-1-10
shall be treated as sales of tangible personal property for
purposes of this chapter.
(f) Sales, other than receipts from intangible property covered by
subsection (e) and sales of tangible personal property, are in this state
if:
(1) the income-producing activity is performed in this state; or
(2) the income-producing activity is performed both within and
without this state and a greater proportion of the
income-producing activity is performed in this state than in any
other state, based on costs of performance.
production, fabrication, manufacturing, or other processing in the state
or to the extent that a patented product is produced in the state. If the
basis of receipts from patent royalties does not permit allocation to
states or if the accounting procedures do not reflect states of utilization,
the patent is utilized in the state in which the taxpayer's commercial
domicile is located.
(3) A copyright is utilized in a state to the extent that printing or
other publication originates in the state. If the basis of receipts from
copyright royalties does not permit allocation to states or if the
accounting procedures do not reflect states of utilization, the copyright
is utilized in the state in which the taxpayer's commercial domicile is
located.
(l) If the allocation and apportionment provisions of this article do
not fairly represent the taxpayer's income derived from sources within
the state of Indiana, the taxpayer may petition for or the department
may require, in respect to all or any part of the taxpayer's business
activity, if reasonable:
(1) separate accounting;
(2) the exclusion of any one (1) or more of the factors;
(3) the inclusion of one (1) or more additional factors which will
fairly represent the taxpayer's income derived from sources within
the state of Indiana; or
(4) the employment of any other method to effectuate an equitable
allocation and apportionment of the taxpayer's income.
(m) In the case of two (2) or more organizations, trades, or
businesses owned or controlled directly or indirectly by the same
interests, the department shall distribute, apportion, or allocate the
income derived from sources within the state of Indiana between and
among those organizations, trades, or businesses in order to fairly
reflect and report the income derived from sources within the state of
Indiana by various taxpayers.
(n) For purposes of allocation and apportionment of income under
this article, a taxpayer is taxable in another state if:
(1) in that state the taxpayer is subject to a net income tax, a
franchise tax measured by net income, a franchise tax for the
privilege of doing business, or a corporate stock tax; or
(2) that state has jurisdiction to subject the taxpayer to a net
income tax regardless of whether, in fact, the state does or does
not.
(o) Notwithstanding subsections (l) and (m), the department may
not, under any circumstances, require that income, deductions, and
credits attributable to a taxpayer and another entity be reported in a
combined income tax return for any taxable year, if the other entity is:
(1) a foreign corporation; or
(2) a corporation that is classified as a foreign operating
corporation for the taxable year by section 2.4 of this chapter.
(p) Notwithstanding subsections (l) and (m), the department may not
require that income, deductions, and credits attributable to a taxpayer
and another entity not described in subsection (o)(1) or (o)(2) be
reported in a combined income tax return for any taxable year, unless
the department is unable to fairly reflect the taxpayer's adjusted gross
income for the taxable year through use of other powers granted to the
department by subsections (l) and (m).
(q) Notwithstanding subsections (o) and (p), one (1) or more
taxpayers may petition the department under subsection (l) for
permission to file a combined income tax return for a taxable year. The
petition to file a combined income tax return must be completed and
filed with the department not more than thirty (30) days after the end
of the taxpayer's taxable year.
(r) This subsection applies to a corporation that is a life insurance
company (as defined in Section 816(a) of the Internal Revenue Code)
or an insurance company that is subject to tax under Section 831 of the
Internal Revenue Code. The corporation's adjusted gross income that
is derived from sources within Indiana is determined by multiplying the
corporation's adjusted gross income by a fraction:
(1) the numerator of which is the direct premiums and annuity
considerations received during the taxable year for insurance
upon property or risks in the state; and
(2) the denominator of which is the direct premiums and annuity
considerations received during the taxable year for insurance
upon property or risks everywhere.
The term "direct premiums and annuity considerations" means the
gross premiums received from direct business as reported in the
corporation's annual statement filed with the department of insurance.
