21 described in Section 305(e) of the Internal Revenue
22 Code;
23 (B) An amount equal to the amount of tax imposed by

9 subparagraph (L) of this paragraph (2) prior to July 1,
10 1991, the retrospective application date of Article 4
11 of Public Act 87-17. In the case of multi-unit or

15 which is attributable to such principal residence;

17 deductions taken in all taxable years under
18 subparagraph (Z) with respect to that property.
19 If the taxpayer continues to own property through

3 (D-17) An amount equal to the amount otherwise
4 allowed as a deduction in computing base income for
5 interest paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
6 indirectly, (i) for taxable years ending on or after
7 December 31, 2004, to a foreign person who would be a
8 member of the same unitary business group but for the
9 fact that foreign person's business activity outside
10 the United States is 80% or more of the foreign
11 person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
12 years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
13 who would be a member of the same unitary business
14 group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
15 under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
16 unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
17 required to apportion business income under different
18 subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
19 required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
20 extent that dividends were included in base income of
21 the unitary group for the same taxable year and
22 received by the taxpayer or by a member of the
23 taxpayer's unitary business group (including amounts
24 included in gross income under Sections 951 through 964
25 of the Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in
26 gross income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue

SB1115- 5 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 Code) with respect to the stock of the same person to
2 whom the interest was paid, accrued, or incurred.
3 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
4 (i) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
5 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person who
6 is subject in a foreign country or state, other
7 than a state which requires mandatory unitary
8 reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
9 with respect to such interest; or
10 (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
11 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
12 the taxpayer can establish, based on a
13 preponderance of the evidence, both of the
14 following:
15 (a) the person, during the same taxable
16 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
17 to a person that is not a related member, and
18 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
19 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
20 person did not have as a principal purpose the
21 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
22 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
23 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
24 terms; or
25 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
26 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest

SB1115- 6 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
2 agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
3 terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
4 not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
5 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
6 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
7 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
8 evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
9 if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
10 to the application or use of an alternative method
11 of apportionment under Section 304(f).
12 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
13 Director from making any other adjustment
14 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
15 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
16 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
17 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
18 and such regulations provide methods and standards
19 by which the Department will utilize its authority
20 under Section 404 of this Act;
21 (D-18) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
22 expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
23 computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
24 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
25 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
26 foreign person who would be a member of the same

SB1115- 7 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 unitary business group but for the fact that the
2 foreign person's business activity outside the United
3 States is 80% or more of that person's total business
4 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
5 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
6 the same unitary business group but for the fact that
7 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
8 from being included in the unitary business group
9 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
10 business income under different subsections of Section
11 304. 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 under Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal
18 Revenue Code and amounts included in gross income under
19 Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect
20 to the stock of the same person to whom the intangible
21 expenses and costs were directly or indirectly paid,
22 incurred, or accrued. The preceding sentence does not
23 apply to the extent that the same dividends caused a
24 reduction to the addition modification required under
25 Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) of this Act. As used in this
26 subparagraph, the term "intangible expenses and costs"

SB1115- 8 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 includes (1) expenses, losses, and costs for, or
2 related to, the direct or indirect acquisition, use,
3 maintenance or management, ownership, sale, exchange,
4 or any other disposition of intangible property; (2)
5 losses incurred, directly or indirectly, from
6 factoring transactions or discounting transactions;
7 (3) royalty, patent, technical, and copyright fees;
8 (4) licensing fees; and (5) other similar expenses and
9 costs. For purposes of this subparagraph, "intangible
10 property" includes patents, patent applications, trade
11 names, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask
12 works, trade secrets, and similar types of intangible
13 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 person who is
18 subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
19 state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
20 to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
21 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:

SB1115- 9 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 (a) the person during the same taxable
2 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 person did not have as a
8 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 person if the
15 taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
16 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
17 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
18 writing to the application or use of an alternative
19 method of apportionment under Section 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
23 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
24 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
25 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
26 and such regulations provide methods and standards

SB1115- 10 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 by which the Department will utilize its authority
2 under Section 404 of this Act;
3 (D-19) For taxable years ending on or after
4 December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
5 insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
6 as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
7 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
8 a person who would be a member of the same unitary
9 business group but for the fact that the person is
10 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
11 included in the unitary business group because he or
12 she is ordinarily required to apportion business
13 income under different subsections of Section 304. The
14 addition modification required by this subparagraph
15 shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
16 included in base income of the unitary group for the
17 same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
18 member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
19 (including amounts included in gross income under
20 Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
21 and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
22 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
23 of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
24 directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
25 preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
26 the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition

SB1115- 11 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 modification required under Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) or
2 Section 203(a)(2)(D-18) of this Act.

4 who would be a member of the same unitary business

6 under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the

3 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
4 the taxpayer can establish, based on a
5 preponderance of the evidence, both of the
6 following:
7 (a) the person, during the same taxable
8 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
9 to a person that is not a related member, and
10 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
11 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
12 person did not have as a principal purpose the
13 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
14 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
15 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
16 terms; or
17 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
18 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
19 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
20 agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
21 terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
22 not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
23 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or

25 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
26 evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or

1 if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
2 to the application or use of an alternative method
3 of apportionment under Section 304(f).
4 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
5 Director from making any other adjustment
6 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for

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

SB1115- 36 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
2 business income under different subsections of Section
3 304. The addition modification required by this
4 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
5 dividends were included in base income of the unitary
6 group for the same taxable year and received by the
7 taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
8 business group (including amounts included in gross
9 income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the
10 Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross
11 income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
12 with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
13 the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
14 indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
15 sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
16 dividends caused a reduction to the addition
17 modification required under Section 203(b)(2)(E-12) of
18 this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
19 "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,

8 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
9 indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
10 subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
11 state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
12 to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
13 to such item; or
14 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost

20 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
21 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
22 not a related member, and

14 taxpayer was required in any taxable year to make an
15 addition modification under subparagraph (G-10), then
16 an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the
17 deductions taken in all taxable years under
18 subparagraph (R) with respect to that property.
19 If the taxpayer continues to own property through
20 the last day of the last tax year for which the
21 taxpayer may claim a depreciation deduction for
22 federal income tax purposes and for which the taxpayer
23 was allowed in any taxable year to make a subtraction
24 modification under subparagraph (R), then an amount
25 equal to that subtraction modification.
26 The taxpayer is required to make the addition

SB1115- 57 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 modification under this subparagraph only once with
2 respect to any one piece of property;
3 (G-12) An amount equal to the amount otherwise
4 allowed as a deduction in computing base income for
5 interest paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
6 indirectly, (i) for taxable years ending on or after
7 December 31, 2004, to a foreign person who would be a
8 member of the same unitary business group but for the
9 fact that the foreign person's business activity
10 outside the United States is 80% or more of the foreign
11 person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
12 years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
13 who would be a member of the same unitary business
14 group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
15 under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
16 unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
17 required to apportion business income under different
18 subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
19 required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
20 extent that dividends were included in base income of
21 the unitary group for the same taxable year and
22 received by the taxpayer or by a member of the
23 taxpayer's unitary business group (including amounts
24 included in gross income pursuant to Sections 951
25 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code and amounts
26 included in gross income under Section 78 of the

SB1115- 58 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock of the
2 same person to whom the interest was paid, accrued, or
3 incurred.
4 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
5 (i) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
6 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person who
7 is subject in a foreign country or state, other
8 than a state which requires mandatory unitary
9 reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
10 with respect to such interest; or
11 (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
12 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
13 the taxpayer can establish, based on a
14 preponderance of the evidence, both of the
15 following:
16 (a) the person, during the same taxable
17 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
18 to a person that is not a related member, and
19 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
20 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
21 person did not have as a principal purpose the
22 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
23 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
24 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
25 terms; or
26 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on

SB1115- 59 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
2 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
3 agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
4 terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
5 not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
6 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
7 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
8 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
9 evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
10 if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
11 to the application or use of an alternative method
12 of apportionment under Section 304(f).
13 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
14 Director from making any other adjustment
15 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
16 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
17 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
18 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
19 and such regulations provide methods and standards
20 by which the Department will utilize its authority
21 under Section 404 of this Act;
22 (G-13) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
23 expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
24 computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
25 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
26 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a

SB1115- 60 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 foreign person who would be a member of the same
2 unitary business group but for the fact that the
3 foreign person's business activity outside the United
4 States is 80% or more of that person's total business
5 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
6 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
7 the same unitary business group but for the fact that
8 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
9 from being included in the unitary business group
10 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
11 business income under different subsections of Section
12 304. The addition modification required by this
13 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
14 dividends were included in base income of the unitary
15 group for the same taxable year and received by the
16 taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
17 business group (including amounts included in gross
18 income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the
19 Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross
20 income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
21 with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
22 the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
23 indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
24 sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
25 dividends caused a reduction to the addition
26 modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) of

SB1115- 61 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
2 "intangible expenses and costs" includes: (1)
3 expenses, losses, and costs for or related to the
4 direct or indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or
5 management, ownership, sale, exchange, or any other
6 disposition of intangible property; (2) losses
7 incurred, directly or indirectly, from factoring
8 transactions or discounting transactions; (3) royalty,
9 patent, technical, and copyright fees; (4) licensing
10 fees; and (5) other similar expenses and costs. For
11 purposes of this subparagraph, "intangible property"
12 includes patents, patent applications, trade names,
13 trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask works,
14 trade secrets, and similar types of intangible assets.
15 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
16 (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
17 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
18 indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
19 subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
20 state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
21 to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
22 to such item; or
23 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
24 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
25 indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
26 on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the

SB1115- 62 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 following:
2 (a) the person during the same taxable
3 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
4 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
5 not a related member, and
6 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
7 intangible expense or cost between the
8 taxpayer and the person did not have as a
9 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
10 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
11 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
12 or
13 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
14 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
15 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
16 taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
17 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
18 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
19 writing to the application or use of an alternative
20 method of apportionment under Section 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
25 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
26 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department

SB1115- 63 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 and such regulations provide methods and standards
2 by which the Department will utilize its authority
3 under Section 404 of this Act;
4 (G-14) For taxable years ending on or after
5 December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
6 insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
7 as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
8 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
9 a person who would be a member of the same unitary
10 business group but for the fact that the person is
11 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
12 included in the unitary business group because he or
13 she is ordinarily required to apportion business
14 income under different subsections of Section 304. The
15 addition modification required by this subparagraph
16 shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
17 included in base income of the unitary group for the
18 same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
19 member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
20 (including amounts included in gross income under
21 Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
22 and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
23 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
24 of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
25 directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
26 preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that

SB1115- 64 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
2 modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) or
3 Section 203(c)(2)(G-13) of this Act;
4 (G-15) An amount equal to the credit allowable to

17 Internal Revenue Code or included in such total as
18 distributions under the provisions of any retirement
19 or disability plan for employees of any governmental

10 exempts income derived from bonds or other obligations
11 from the tax imposed under this Act, the amount
12 exempted shall be the interest net of bond premium
13 amortization;

16 all amounts disallowed as deductions by (i) Sections
17 171(a)(2) and 265(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code,

8 this paragraph in gross income for federal income tax
9 purposes. This paragraph is exempt from the provisions
10 of Section 250;
11 (R) For taxable years 2001 and thereafter, for the

19 allowed as a deduction in computing base income for
20 interest paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
21 indirectly, (i) for taxable years ending on or after
22 December 31, 2004, to a foreign person who would be a
23 member of the same unitary business group but for the
24 fact the foreign person's business activity outside
25 the United States is 80% or more of the foreign

SB1115- 76 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
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
5 unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
6 required to apportion business income under different
7 subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
8 required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
9 extent that dividends were included in base income of
10 the unitary group for the same taxable year and
11 received by the taxpayer or by a member of the
12 taxpayer's unitary business group (including amounts
13 included in gross income pursuant to Sections 951

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

SB1115- 77 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 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

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; and
11 (D-8) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
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

SB1115- 79 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 304. The addition modification required by this

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(d)(2)(D-7) 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

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

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;

SB1115- 81 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 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

18 under Section 404 of this Act;
19 (D-9) For taxable years ending on or after December
20 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of insurance

22 deduction in computing base income, and that were paid,
23 accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to a
24 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

SB1115- 82 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 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

1 Internal Revenue Code. Taxable income may be less than
2 zero. However, for taxable years ending on or after
3 December 31, 1986, net operating loss carryforwards from
4 taxable years ending prior to December 31, 1986, may not
5 exceed the sum of federal taxable income for the taxable
6 year before net operating loss deduction, plus the excess
7 of addition modifications over subtraction modifications
8 for the taxable year. For taxable years ending prior to
9 December 31, 1986, taxable income may never be an amount in
10 excess of the net operating loss for the taxable year as
11 defined in subsections (c) and (d) of Section 172 of the

14 trust, or estate is less than zero and addition
15 modifications, other than those provided by subparagraph
16 (E) of paragraph (2) of subsection (b) for corporations or
17 subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subsection (c) for
18 trusts and estates, exceed subtraction modifications, an
19 addition modification must be made under those
20 subparagraphs for any other taxable year to which the
21 taxable income less than zero (net operating loss) is
22 applied under Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code or
23 under subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of this subsection
24 (e) applied in conjunction with Section 172 of the Internal
25 Revenue Code.
26 (2) Special rule. For purposes of paragraph (1) of this

SB1115- 92 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 subsection, the taxable income properly reportable for
2 federal income tax purposes shall mean:
3 (A) Certain life insurance companies. In the case
4 of a life insurance company subject to the tax imposed
5 by Section 801 of the Internal Revenue Code, life
6 insurance company taxable income, plus the amount of
7 distribution from pre-1984 policyholder surplus
8 accounts as calculated under Section 815a of the
9 Internal Revenue Code;
10 (B) Certain other insurance companies. In the case
11 of mutual insurance companies subject to the tax
12 imposed by Section 831 of the Internal Revenue Code,
13 insurance company taxable income;
14 (C) Regulated investment companies. In the case of
15 a regulated investment company subject to the tax
16 imposed by Section 852 of the Internal Revenue Code,
17 investment company taxable income;
18 (D) Real estate investment trusts. In the case of a
19 real estate investment trust subject to the tax imposed
20 by Section 857 of the Internal Revenue Code, real
21 estate investment trust taxable income;
22 (E) Consolidated corporations. In the case of a
23 corporation which is a member of an affiliated group of
24 corporations filing a consolidated income tax return
25 for the taxable year for federal income tax purposes,
26 taxable income determined as if such corporation had

SB1115- 93 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 filed a separate return for federal income tax purposes
2 for the taxable year and each preceding taxable year
3 for which it was a member of an affiliated group. For
4 purposes of this subparagraph, the taxpayer's separate
5 taxable income shall be determined as if the election
6 provided by Section 243(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue
7 Code had been in effect for all such years;
8 (F) Cooperatives. In the case of a cooperative
9 corporation or association, the taxable income of such
10 organization determined in accordance with the
11 provisions of Section 1381 through 1388 of the Internal
12 Revenue Code, but without regard to the prohibition
13 against offsetting losses from patronage activities
14 against income from nonpatronage activities; except
15 that a cooperative corporation or association may make
16 an election to follow its federal income tax treatment
17 of patronage losses and nonpatronage losses. In the
18 event such election is made, such losses shall be
19 computed and carried over in a manner consistent with
20 subsection (a) of Section 207 of this Act and
21 apportioned by the apportionment factor reported by
22 the cooperative on its Illinois income tax return filed
23 for the taxable year in which the losses are incurred.
24 The election shall be effective for all taxable years
25 with original returns due on or after the date of the
26 election. In addition, the cooperative may file an

SB1115- 94 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 amended return or returns, as allowed under this Act,
2 to provide that the election shall be effective for
3 losses incurred or carried forward for taxable years
4 occurring prior to the date of the election. Once made,
5 the election may only be revoked upon approval of the
6 Director. The Department shall adopt rules setting
7 forth requirements for documenting the elections and
8 any resulting Illinois net loss and the standards to be
9 used by the Director in evaluating requests to revoke
10 elections. Public Act 96-932 is declaratory of
11 existing law;
12 (G) Subchapter S corporations. In the case of: (i)
13 a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
14 an election for the taxable year under Section 1362 of
15 the Internal Revenue Code, the taxable income of such
16 corporation determined in accordance with Section
17 1363(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, except that
18 taxable income shall take into account those items
19 which are required by Section 1363(b)(1) of the

21 a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
22 a federal election to opt out of the provisions of the
23 Subchapter S Revision Act of 1982 and have applied
24 instead the prior federal Subchapter S rules as in
25 effect on July 1, 1982, the taxable income of such
26 corporation determined in accordance with the federal

SB1115- 95 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b

2 (H) Partnerships. In the case of a partnership,
3 taxable income determined in accordance with Section
4 703 of the Internal Revenue Code, except that taxable
5 income shall take into account those items which are
6 required by Section 703(a)(1) to be separately stated
7 but which would be taken into account by an individual
8 in calculating his taxable income.
9 (3) Recapture of business expenses on disposition of
10 asset or business. Notwithstanding any other law to the
11 contrary, if in prior years income from an asset or
12 business has been classified as business income and in a
13 later year is demonstrated to be non-business income, then
14 all expenses, without limitation, deducted in such later
15 year and in the 2 immediately preceding taxable years
16 related to that asset or business that generated the
17 non-business income shall be added back and recaptured as
18 business income in the year of the disposition of the asset
19 or business. Such amount shall be apportioned to Illinois
20 using the greater of the apportionment fraction computed
21 for the business under Section 304 of this Act for the
22 taxable year or the average of the apportionment fractions
23 computed for the business under Section 304 of this Act for
24 the taxable year and for the 2 immediately preceding
25 taxable years.

SB1115- 96 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 (f) Valuation limitation amount.
2 (1) In general. The valuation limitation amount
3 referred to in subsections (a)(2)(G), (c)(2)(I) and
4 (d)(2)(E) is an amount equal to:
5 (A) The sum of the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
6 amounts (to the extent consisting of gain reportable
7 under the provisions of Section 1245 or 1250 of the
8 Internal Revenue Code) for all property in respect of
9 which such gain was reported for the taxable year; plus
10 (B) The lesser of (i) the sum of the pre-August 1,
11 1969 appreciation amounts (to the extent consisting of
12 capital gain) for all property in respect of which such
13 gain was reported for federal income tax purposes for
14 the taxable year, or (ii) the net capital gain for the
15 taxable year, reduced in either case by any amount of
16 such gain included in the amount determined under
17 subsection (a)(2)(F) or (c)(2)(H).
18 (2) Pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount.
19 (A) If the fair market value of property referred
20 to in paragraph (1) was readily ascertainable on August
21 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount for
22 such property is the lesser of (i) the excess of such
23 fair market value over the taxpayer's basis (for
24 determining gain) for such property on that date
25 (determined under the Internal Revenue Code as in
26 effect on that date), or (ii) the total gain realized

SB1115- 97 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 and reportable for federal income tax purposes in
2 respect of the sale, exchange or other disposition of
3 such property.
4 (B) If the fair market value of property referred
5 to in paragraph (1) was not readily ascertainable on
6 August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
7 amount for such property is that amount which bears the
8 same ratio to the total gain reported in respect of the
9 property for federal income tax purposes for the
10 taxable year, as the number of full calendar months in
11 that part of the taxpayer's holding period for the
12 property ending July 31, 1969 bears to the number of
13 full calendar months in the taxpayer's entire holding
14 period for the property.
15 (C) The Department shall prescribe such
16 regulations as may be necessary to carry out the
17 purposes of this paragraph.
18 (g) Double deductions. Unless specifically provided
19otherwise, nothing in this Section shall permit the same item
20to be deducted more than once.
21 (h) Legislative intention. Except as expressly provided by
22this Section there shall be no modifications or limitations on
23the amounts of income, gain, loss or deduction taken into
24account in determining gross income, adjusted gross income or

SB1115- 98 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1taxable income for federal income tax purposes for the taxable
2year, or in the amount of such items entering into the
3computation of base income and net income under this Act for
4such taxable year, whether in respect of property values as of
5August 1, 1969 or otherwise.

9 Sec. 304. Business income of persons other than residents.
10 (a) In general. The business income of a person other than
11a resident shall be allocated to this State if such person's
12business income is derived solely from this State. If a person
13other than a resident derives business income from this State
14and one or more other states, then, for tax years ending on or
15before December 30, 1998, and except as otherwise provided by
16this Section, such person's business income shall be
17apportioned to this State by multiplying the income by a
18fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the property
19factor (if any), the payroll factor (if any) and 200% of the
20sales factor (if any), and the denominator of which is 4
21reduced by the number of factors other than the sales factor
22which have a denominator of zero and by an additional 2 if the
23sales factor has a denominator of zero. For tax years ending on
24or after December 31, 1998, and except as otherwise provided by
25this Section, persons other than residents who derive business

SB1115- 99 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1income from this State and one or more other states shall
2compute their apportionment factor by weighting their
3property, payroll, and sales factors as provided in subsection
4(h) of this Section.
5 (1) Property factor.
6 (A) The property factor is a fraction, the numerator of
7 which is the average value of the person's real and
8 tangible personal property owned or rented and used in the
9 trade or business in this State during the taxable year and
10 the denominator of which is the average value of all the
11 person's real and tangible personal property owned or
12 rented and used in the trade or business during the taxable
13 year.
14 (B) Property owned by the person is valued at its
15 original cost. Property rented by the person is valued at 8
16 times the net annual rental rate. Net annual rental rate is
17 the annual rental rate paid by the person less any annual
18 rental rate received by the person from sub-rentals.
19 (C) The average value of property shall be determined
20 by averaging the values at the beginning and ending of the
21 taxable year but the Director may require the averaging of
22 monthly values during the taxable year if reasonably
23 required to reflect properly the average value of the
24 person's property.
25 (2) Payroll factor.
26 (A) The payroll factor is a fraction, the numerator of

SB1115- 100 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 which is the total amount paid in this State during the
2 taxable year by the person for compensation, and the
3 denominator of which is the total compensation paid
4 everywhere during the taxable year.
5 (B) Compensation is paid in this State if:
6 (i) The individual's service is performed entirely
7 within this State;
8 (ii) The individual's service is performed both
9 within and without this State, but the service
10 performed without this State is incidental to the
11 individual's service performed within this State; or
12 (iii) Some of the service is performed within this
13 State and either the base of operations, or if there is
14 no base of operations, the place from which the service
15 is directed or controlled is within this State, or the
16 base of operations or the place from which the service
17 is directed or controlled is not in any state in which
18 some part of the service is performed, but the
19 individual's residence is in this State.
20 (iv) Compensation paid to nonresident professional
21 athletes.
22 (a) General. The Illinois source income of a
23 nonresident individual who is a member of a
24 professional athletic team includes the portion of the
25 individual's total compensation for services performed
26 as a member of a professional athletic team during the

SB1115- 101 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 taxable year which the number of duty days spent within
2 this State performing services for the team in any
3 manner during the taxable year bears to the total
4 number of duty days spent both within and without this
5 State during the taxable year.
6 (b) Travel days. Travel days that do not involve
7 either a game, practice, team meeting, or other similar
8 team event are not considered duty days spent in this
9 State. However, such travel days are considered in the
10 total duty days spent both within and without this
11 State.
12 (c) Definitions. For purposes of this subpart
13 (iv):

2 days during the taxable year from the beginning of
3 the professional athletic team's official
4 pre-season training period through the last game
5 in which the team competes or is scheduled to
6 compete. Duty days shall be counted for the year in
7 which they occur, including where a team's
8 official pre-season training period through the
9 last game in which the team competes or is
10 scheduled to compete, occurs during more than one
11 tax year.
12 (A) Duty days shall also include days on

8 that person joins the team. Conversely, duty
9 days for any person who leaves a team during
10 this period shall end on the day that person
11 leaves the team. Where a person switches teams
12 during a taxable year, a separate duty-day
13 calculation shall be made for the period the
14 person was with each team.
15 (D) Days for which a member of a
16 professional athletic team is not compensated
17 and is not performing services for the team in
18 any manner, including days when such member of
19 a professional athletic team has been
20 suspended without pay and prohibited from
21 performing any services for the team, shall not
22 be treated as duty days.
23 (E) Days for which a member of a
24 professional athletic team is on the disabled
25 list and does not conduct rehabilitation

6 this State.
7 (4) The term "total compensation for services
8 performed as a member of a professional athletic
9 team" means the total compensation received during
10 the taxable year for services performed:
11 (A) from the beginning of the official
12 pre-season training period through the last
13 game in which the team competes or is scheduled
14 to compete during that taxable year; and
15 (B) during the taxable year on a date which
16 does not fall within the foregoing period
17 (e.g., participation in instructional leagues,
18 the "All Star Game", or promotional caravans).
19 This compensation shall include, but is not
20 limited to, salaries, wages, bonuses as described
21 in this subpart, and any other type of compensation
22 paid during the taxable year to a member of a
23 professional athletic team for services performed

11 or leased by a person who has independently contracted
12 with the seller for the printing of newspapers,
13 periodicals or books shall not be deemed to be an
14 office, store, warehouse, factory or other place of
15 storage for purposes of this Section. Sales of tangible
16 personal property are not in this State if the seller
17 and purchaser would be members of the same unitary
18 business group but for the fact that either the seller
19 or purchaser is a person with 80% or more of total

10 is produced in the state. If a patent is utilized
11 in more than one state, the extent to which it is
12 utilized in any one state shall be a fraction equal
13 to the gross receipts of the licensee or purchaser
14 from sales or leases of items produced,
15 fabricated, manufactured, or processed within that

20 (II) A copyright is utilized in a state to the
21 extent that printing or other publication
22 originates in the state. If a copyright is utilized
23 in more than one state, the extent to which it is

25 to the gross receipts from sales or licenses of
26 materials printed or published in that state

19 gross receipts governed by paragraph (B-7) of this item
20 (3), may be included in the numerator or denominator of the
21 sales factor only if gross receipts from licenses, sales,
22 or other disposition of such items comprise more than 50%
23 of the taxpayer's total gross receipts included in gross
24 income during the tax year and during each of the 2
25 immediately preceding tax years; provided that, when a
26 taxpayer is a member of a unitary business group, such

SB1115- 109 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 determination shall be made on the basis of the gross

23 separately charged.
24 (d) The receipts from charges for service
25 segments with a channel termination point located

19 (B-7) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
20 2008, receipts from the sale of broadcasting services are
21 in this State if the broadcasting services are received in
22 this State. For purposes of this paragraph (B-7), the
23 following terms have the following meanings:
24 "Advertising revenue" means consideration received
25 by the taxpayer in exchange for broadcasting services
26 or allowing the broadcasting of commercials or

SB1115- 119 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 announcements in connection with the broadcasting of
2 film or radio programming, from sponsorships of the
3 programming, or from product placements in the
4 programming.
5 "Audience factor" means the ratio that the
6 audience or subscribers located in this State of a
7 station, a network, or a cable system bears to the
8 total audience or total subscribers for that station,
9 network, or cable system. The audience factor for film
10 or radio programming shall be determined by reference
11 to the books and records of the taxpayer or by
12 reference to published rating statistics provided the
13 method used by the taxpayer is consistently used from
14 year to year for this purpose and fairly represents the
15 taxpayer's activity in this State.
16 "Broadcast" or "broadcasting" or "broadcasting
17 services" means the transmission or provision of film
18 or radio programming, whether through the public
19 airwaves, by cable, by direct or indirect satellite
20 transmission, or by any other means of communication,
21 either through a station, a network, or a cable system.
22 "Film" or "film programming" means the broadcast
23 on television of any and all performances, events, or
24 productions, including but not limited to news,
25 sporting events, plays, stories, or other literary,
26 commercial, educational, or artistic works, either

SB1115- 120 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 live or through the use of video tape, disc, or any
2 other type of format or medium. Each episode of a
3 series of films produced for television shall
4 constitute separate "film" notwithstanding that the
5 series relates to the same principal subject and is
6 produced during one or more tax periods.
7 "Radio" or "radio programming" means the broadcast
8 on radio of any and all performances, events, or
9 productions, including but not limited to news,
10 sporting events, plays, stories, or other literary,
11 commercial, educational, or artistic works, either
12 live or through the use of an audio tape, disc, or any
13 other format or medium. Each episode in a series of
14 radio programming produced for radio broadcast shall
15 constitute a separate "radio programming"
16 notwithstanding that the series relates to the same
17 principal subject and is produced during one or more
18 tax periods.
19 (i) In the case of advertising revenue from
20 broadcasting, the customer is the advertiser and
21 the service is received in this State if the
22 commercial domicile of the advertiser is in this
23 State.
24 (ii) In the case where film or radio
25 programming is broadcast by a station, a network,
26 or a cable system for a fee or other remuneration

SB1115- 121 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 received from the recipient of the broadcast, the
2 portion of the service that is received in this
3 State is measured by the portion of the recipients
4 of the broadcast located in this State.
5 Accordingly, the fee or other remuneration for
6 such service that is included in the Illinois
7 numerator of the sales factor is the total of those
8 fees or other remuneration received from
9 recipients in Illinois. For purposes of this
10 paragraph, a taxpayer may determine the location
11 of the recipients of its broadcast using the
12 address of the recipient shown in its contracts
13 with the recipient or using the billing address of
14 the recipient in the taxpayer's records.
15 (iii) In the case where film or radio
16 programming is broadcast by a station, a network,
17 or a cable system for a fee or other remuneration
18 from the person providing the programming, the
19 portion of the broadcast service that is received
20 by such station, network, or cable system in this
21 State is measured by the portion of recipients of
22 the broadcast located in this State. Accordingly,
23 the amount of revenue related to such an
24 arrangement that is included in the Illinois
25 numerator of the sales factor is the total fee or
26 other total remuneration from the person providing

SB1115- 122 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 the programming related to that broadcast
2 multiplied by the Illinois audience factor for
3 that broadcast.
4 (iv) In the case where film or radio
5 programming is provided by a taxpayer that is a
6 network or station to a customer for broadcast in
7 exchange for a fee or other remuneration from that
8 customer the broadcasting service is received at
9 the location of the office of the customer from
10 which the services were ordered in the regular
11 course of the customer's trade or business.
12 Accordingly, in such a case the revenue derived by
13 the taxpayer that is included in the taxpayer's
14 Illinois numerator of the sales factor is the
15 revenue from such customers who receive the
16 broadcasting service in Illinois.
17 (v) In the case where film or radio programming
18 is provided by a taxpayer that is not a network or
19 station to another person for broadcasting in
20 exchange for a fee or other remuneration from that
21 person, the broadcasting service is received at
22 the location of the office of the customer from
23 which the services were ordered in the regular
24 course of the customer's trade or business.
25 Accordingly, in such a case the revenue derived by
26 the taxpayer that is included in the taxpayer's

SB1115- 123 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 Illinois numerator of the sales factor is the
2 revenue from such customers who receive the
3 broadcasting service in Illinois.
4 (B-8) Gross receipts from winnings under the Illinois
5 Lottery Law from the assignment of a prize under Section
6 13.1 of the Illinois Lottery Law are received in this
7 State. This paragraph (B-8) applies only to taxable years
8 ending on or after December 31, 2013.
9 (C) For taxable years ending before December 31, 2008,
10 sales, other than sales governed by paragraphs (B), (B-1),
11 (B-2), and (B-8) are in this State if:
12 (i) The income-producing activity is performed in
13 this State; or
14 (ii) The income-producing activity is performed
15 both within and without this State and a greater
16 proportion of the income-producing activity is
17 performed within this State than without this State,
18 based on performance costs.
19 (C-5) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
20 2008, sales, other than sales governed by paragraphs (B),
21 (B-1), (B-2), (B-5), and (B-7), are in this State if any of
22 the following criteria are met:
23 (i) Sales from the sale or lease of real property
24 are in this State if the property is located in this
25 State.
26 (ii) Sales from the lease or rental of tangible

SB1115- 124 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 personal property are in this State if the property is
2 located in this State during the rental period. Sales
3 from the lease or rental of tangible personal property
4 that is characteristically moving property, including,
5 but not limited to, motor vehicles, rolling stock,
6 aircraft, vessels, or mobile equipment are in this
7 State to the extent that the property is used in this
8 State.
9 (iii) In the case of interest, net gains (but not
10 less than zero) and other items of income from
11 intangible personal property, the sale is in this State
12 if:
13 (a) in the case of a taxpayer who is a dealer
14 in the item of intangible personal property within
15 the meaning of Section 475 of the Internal Revenue
16 Code, the income or gain is received from a
17 customer in this State. For purposes of this
18 subparagraph, a customer is in this State if the
19 customer is an individual, trust or estate who is a
20 resident of this State and, for all other
21 customers, if the customer's commercial domicile
22 is in this State. Unless the dealer has actual
23 knowledge of the residence or commercial domicile
24 of a customer during a taxable year, the customer
25 shall be deemed to be a customer in this State if
26 the billing address of the customer, as shown in

SB1115- 125 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 the records of the dealer, is in this State; or
2 (b) in all other cases, if the
3 income-producing activity of the taxpayer is
4 performed in this State or, if the
5 income-producing activity of the taxpayer is
6 performed both within and without this State, if a
7 greater proportion of the income-producing
8 activity of the taxpayer is performed within this
9 State than in any other state, based on performance
10 costs.
11 (iv) Sales of services are in this State if the
12 services are received in this State. For the purposes
13 of this section, gross receipts from the performance of
14 services provided to a corporation, partnership, or
15 trust may only be attributed to a state where that
16 corporation, partnership, or trust has a fixed place of
17 business. If the state where the services are received
18 is not readily determinable or is a state where the
19 corporation, partnership, or trust receiving the
20 service does not have a fixed place of business, the
21 services shall be deemed to be received at the location
22 of the office of the customer from which the services
23 were ordered in the regular course of the customer's
24 trade or business. If the ordering office cannot be
25 determined, the services shall be deemed to be received
26 at the office of the customer to which the services are

SB1115- 126 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 billed. If the taxpayer is not taxable in the state in
2 which the services are received, the sale must be
3 excluded from both the numerator and the denominator of
4 the sales factor. The Department shall adopt rules
5 prescribing where specific types of service are
6 received, including, but not limited to, publishing,
7 and utility service.
8 (D) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
9 1995, the following items of income shall not be included
10 in the numerator or denominator of the sales factor:
11 dividends; amounts included under Section 78 of the
12 Internal Revenue Code; and Subpart F income as defined in
13 Section 952 of the Internal Revenue Code. No inference
14 shall be drawn from the enactment of this paragraph (D) in
15 construing this Section for taxable years ending before
16 December 31, 1995.
17 (E) Paragraphs (B-1) and (B-2) shall apply to tax years
18 ending on or after December 31, 1999, provided that a
19 taxpayer may elect to apply the provisions of these
20 paragraphs to prior tax years. Such election shall be made
21 in the form and manner prescribed by the Department, shall
22 be irrevocable, and shall apply to all tax years; provided
23 that, if a taxpayer's Illinois income tax liability for any
24 tax year, as assessed under Section 903 prior to January 1,
25 1999, was computed in a manner contrary to the provisions
26 of paragraphs (B-1) or (B-2), no refund shall be payable to

SB1115- 127 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 the taxpayer for that tax year to the extent such refund is
2 the result of applying the provisions of paragraph (B-1) or
3 (B-2) retroactively. In the case of a unitary business
4 group, such election shall apply to all members of such
5 group for every tax year such group is in existence, but
6 shall not apply to any taxpayer for any period during which
7 that taxpayer is not a member of such group.
8 (b) Insurance companies.
9 (1) In general. Except as otherwise provided by
10 paragraph (2), business income of an insurance company for
11 a taxable year shall be apportioned to this State by
12 multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
13 which is the direct premiums written for insurance upon
14 property or risk in this State, and the denominator of
15 which is the direct premiums written for insurance upon
16 property or risk everywhere. For purposes of this
17 subsection, the term "direct premiums written" means the
18 total amount of direct premiums written, assessments and
19 annuity considerations as reported for the taxable year on
20 the annual statement filed by the company with the Illinois
21 Director of Insurance in the form approved by the National
22 Convention of Insurance Commissioners or such other form as
23 may be prescribed in lieu thereof.
24 (2) Reinsurance. If the principal source of premiums
25 written by an insurance company consists of premiums for
26 reinsurance accepted by it, the business income of such

SB1115- 128 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 company shall be apportioned to this State by multiplying
2 such income by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
3 sum of (i) direct premiums written for insurance upon
4 property or risk in this State, plus (ii) premiums written
5 for reinsurance accepted in respect of property or risk in
6 this State, and the denominator of which is the sum of
7 (iii) direct premiums written for insurance upon property
8 or risk everywhere, plus (iv) premiums written for
9 reinsurance accepted in respect of property or risk
10 everywhere. For purposes of this paragraph, premiums
11 written for reinsurance accepted in respect of property or
12 risk in this State, whether or not otherwise determinable,
13 may, at the election of the company, be determined on the
14 basis of the proportion which premiums written for
15 reinsurance accepted from companies commercially domiciled
16 in Illinois bears to premiums written for reinsurance
17 accepted from all sources, or, alternatively, in the
18 proportion which the sum of the direct premiums written for
19 insurance upon property or risk in this State by each
20 ceding company from which reinsurance is accepted bears to
21 the sum of the total direct premiums written by each such
22 ceding company for the taxable year. The election made by a
23 company under this paragraph for its first taxable year
24 ending on or after December 31, 2011, shall be binding for
25 that company for that taxable year and for all subsequent
26 taxable years, and may be altered only with the written

SB1115- 129 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 permission of the Department, which shall not be
2 unreasonably withheld.
3 (c) Financial organizations.
4 (1) In general. For taxable years ending before
5 December 31, 2008, business income of a financial
6 organization shall be apportioned to this State by
7 multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
8 which is its business income from sources within this
9 State, and the denominator of which is its business income
10 from all sources. For the purposes of this subsection, the
11 business income of a financial organization from sources
12 within this State is the sum of the amounts referred to in
13 subparagraphs (A) through (E) following, but excluding the
14 adjusted income of an international banking facility as
15 determined in paragraph (2):
16 (A) Fees, commissions or other compensation for
17 financial services rendered within this State;
18 (B) Gross profits from trading in stocks, bonds or
19 other securities managed within this State;
20 (C) Dividends, and interest from Illinois
21 customers, which are received within this State;
22 (D) Interest charged to customers at places of
23 business maintained within this State for carrying
24 debit balances of margin accounts, without deduction
25 of any costs incurred in carrying such accounts; and
26 (E) Any other gross income resulting from the

SB1115- 130 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 operation as a financial organization within this
2 State. In computing the amounts referred to in
3 paragraphs (A) through (E) of this subsection, any
4 amount received by a member of an affiliated group
5 (determined under Section 1504(a) of the Internal
6 Revenue Code but without reference to whether any such
7 corporation is an "includible corporation" under
8 Section 1504(b) of the Internal Revenue Code) from
9 another member of such group shall be included only to
10 the extent such amount exceeds expenses of the
11 recipient directly related thereto.
12 (2) International Banking Facility. For taxable years
13 ending before December 31, 2008:
14 (A) Adjusted Income. The adjusted income of an
15 international banking facility is its income reduced
16 by the amount of the floor amount.
17 (B) Floor Amount. The floor amount shall be the
18 amount, if any, determined by multiplying the income of
19 the international banking facility by a fraction, not
20 greater than one, which is determined as follows:
21 (i) The numerator shall be:
22 The average aggregate, determined on a
23 quarterly basis, of the financial organization's
24 loans to banks in foreign countries, to foreign
25 domiciled borrowers (except where secured
26 primarily by real estate) and to foreign

SB1115- 131 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 governments and other foreign official
2 institutions, as reported for its branches,
3 agencies and offices within the state on its
4 "Consolidated Report of Condition", Schedule A,
5 Lines 2.c., 5.b., and 7.a., which was filed with
6 the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and
7 other regulatory authorities, for the year 1980,
8 minus
9 The average aggregate, determined on a
10 quarterly basis, of such loans (other than loans of
11 an international banking facility), as reported by
12 the financial institution for its branches,
13 agencies and offices within the state, on the
14 corresponding Schedule and lines of the
15 Consolidated Report of Condition for the current
16 taxable year, provided, however, that in no case
17 shall the amount determined in this clause (the
18 subtrahend) exceed the amount determined in the
19 preceding clause (the minuend); and
20 (ii) the denominator shall be the average
21 aggregate, determined on a quarterly basis, of the
22 international banking facility's loans to banks in
23 foreign countries, to foreign domiciled borrowers
24 (except where secured primarily by real estate)
25 and to foreign governments and other foreign
26 official institutions, which were recorded in its

SB1115- 132 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 financial accounts for the current taxable year.
2 (C) Change to Consolidated Report of Condition and
3 in Qualification. In the event the Consolidated Report
4 of Condition which is filed with the Federal Deposit
5 Insurance Corporation and other regulatory authorities
6 is altered so that the information required for
7 determining the floor amount is not found on Schedule
8 A, lines 2.c., 5.b. and 7.a., the financial institution
9 shall notify the Department and the Department may, by
10 regulations or otherwise, prescribe or authorize the
11 use of an alternative source for such information. The
12 financial institution shall also notify the Department
13 should its international banking facility fail to
14 qualify as such, in whole or in part, or should there
15 be any amendment or change to the Consolidated Report
16 of Condition, as originally filed, to the extent such
17 amendment or change alters the information used in
18 determining the floor amount.
19 (3) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
20 2008, the business income of a financial organization shall
21 be apportioned to this State by multiplying such income by
22 a fraction, the numerator of which is its gross receipts
23 from sources in this State or otherwise attributable to
24 this State's marketplace and the denominator of which is
25 its gross receipts everywhere during the taxable year.
26 "Gross receipts" for purposes of this subparagraph (3)

SB1115- 133 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 means gross income, including net taxable gain on
2 disposition of assets, including securities and money
3 market instruments, when derived from transactions and
4 activities in the regular course of the financial
5 organization's trade or business. The following examples
6 are illustrative:
7 (i) Receipts from the lease or rental of real or
8 tangible personal property are in this State if the
9 property is located in this State during the rental
10 period. Receipts from the lease or rental of tangible
11 personal property that is characteristically moving
12 property, including, but not limited to, motor
13 vehicles, rolling stock, aircraft, vessels, or mobile
14 equipment are from sources in this State to the extent
15 that the property is used in this State.
16 (ii) Interest income, commissions, fees, gains on
17 disposition, and other receipts from assets in the
18 nature of loans that are secured primarily by real
19 estate or tangible personal property are from sources
20 in this State if the security is located in this State.
21 (iii) Interest income, commissions, fees, gains on
22 disposition, and other receipts from consumer loans
23 that are not secured by real or tangible personal
24 property are from sources in this State if the debtor
25 is a resident of this State.
26 (iv) Interest income, commissions, fees, gains on

SB1115- 134 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 disposition, and other receipts from commercial loans
2 and installment obligations that are not secured by
3 real or tangible personal property are from sources in
4 this State if the proceeds of the loan are to be
5 applied in this State. If it cannot be determined where
6 the funds are to be applied, the income and receipts
7 are from sources in this State if the office of the
8 borrower from which the loan was negotiated in the
9 regular course of business is located in this State. If
10 the location of this office cannot be determined, the
11 income and receipts shall be excluded from the
12 numerator and denominator of the sales factor.
13 (v) Interest income, fees, gains on disposition,
14 service charges, merchant discount income, and other
15 receipts from credit card receivables are from sources
16 in this State if the card charges are regularly billed
17 to a customer in this State.
18 (vi) Receipts from the performance of services,
19 including, but not limited to, fiduciary, advisory,
20 and brokerage services, are in this State if the

1 (viii) Receipts from investment assets and
2 activities and trading assets and activities are
3 included in the receipts factor as follows:
4 (1) Interest, dividends, net gains (but not
5 less than zero) and other income from investment
6 assets and activities from trading assets and
7 activities shall be included in the receipts
8 factor. Investment assets and activities and
9 trading assets and activities include but are not
10 limited to: investment securities; trading account
11 assets; federal funds; securities purchased and
12 sold under agreements to resell or repurchase;
13 options; futures contracts; forward contracts;
14 notional principal contracts such as swaps;
15 equities; and foreign currency transactions. With
16 respect to the investment and trading assets and
17 activities described in subparagraphs (A) and (B)
18 of this paragraph, the receipts factor shall
19 include the amounts described in such
20 subparagraphs.
21 (A) The receipts factor shall include the
22 amount by which interest from federal funds
23 sold and securities purchased under resale
24 agreements exceeds interest expense on federal
25 funds purchased and securities sold under
26 repurchase agreements.

SB1115- 136 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 (B) The receipts factor shall include the
2 amount by which interest, dividends, gains and
3 other income from trading assets and
4 activities, including but not limited to
5 assets and activities in the matched book, in
6 the arbitrage book, and foreign currency
7 transactions, exceed amounts paid in lieu of
8 interest, amounts paid in lieu of dividends,
9 and losses from such assets and activities.
10 (2) The numerator of the receipts factor
11 includes interest, dividends, net gains (but not
12 less than zero), and other income from investment
13 assets and activities and from trading assets and
14 activities described in paragraph (1) of this
15 subsection that are attributable to this State.
16 (A) The amount of interest, dividends, net
17 gains (but not less than zero), and other
18 income from investment assets and activities
19 in the investment account to be attributed to
20 this State and included in the numerator is
21 determined by multiplying all such income from
22 such assets and activities by a fraction, the
23 numerator of which is the gross income from
24 such assets and activities which are properly
25 assigned to a fixed place of business of the
26 taxpayer within this State and the denominator

SB1115- 137 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 of which is the gross income from all such
2 assets and activities.
3 (B) The amount of interest from federal
4 funds sold and purchased and from securities
5 purchased under resale agreements and
6 securities sold under repurchase agreements
7 attributable to this State and included in the
8 numerator is determined by multiplying the
9 amount described in subparagraph (A) of
10 paragraph (1) of this subsection from such
11 funds and such securities by a fraction, the
12 numerator of which is the gross income from
13 such funds and such securities which are
14 properly assigned to a fixed place of business
15 of the taxpayer within this State and the
16 denominator of which is the gross income from
17 all such funds and such securities.
18 (C) The amount of interest, dividends,
19 gains, and other income from trading assets and
20 activities, including but not limited to
21 assets and activities in the matched book, in
22 the arbitrage book and foreign currency
23 transactions (but excluding amounts described
24 in subparagraphs (A) or (B) of this paragraph),
25 attributable to this State and included in the
26 numerator is determined by multiplying the

SB1115- 138 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 amount described in subparagraph (B) of
2 paragraph (1) of this subsection by a fraction,
3 the numerator of which is the gross income from
4 such trading assets and activities which are
5 properly assigned to a fixed place of business
6 of the taxpayer within this State and the
7 denominator of which is the gross income from
8 all such assets and activities.
9 (D) Properly assigned, for purposes of
10 this paragraph (2) of this subsection, means
11 the investment or trading asset or activity is
12 assigned to the fixed place of business with
13 which it has a preponderance of substantive
14 contacts. An investment or trading asset or
15 activity assigned by the taxpayer to a fixed
16 place of business without the State shall be
17 presumed to have been properly assigned if:
18 (i) the taxpayer has assigned, in the
19 regular course of its business, such asset
20 or activity on its records to a fixed place
21 of business consistent with federal or
22 state regulatory requirements;
23 (ii) such assignment on its records is
24 based upon substantive contacts of the
25 asset or activity to such fixed place of
26 business; and

SB1115- 139 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 (iii) the taxpayer uses such records
2 reflecting assignment of such assets or
3 activities for the filing of all state and
4 local tax returns for which an assignment
5 of such assets or activities to a fixed
6 place of business is required.
7 (E) The presumption of proper assignment
8 of an investment or trading asset or activity
9 provided in subparagraph (D) of paragraph (2)
10 of this subsection may be rebutted upon a
11 showing by the Department, supported by a
12 preponderance of the evidence, that the
13 preponderance of substantive contacts
14 regarding such asset or activity did not occur
15 at the fixed place of business to which it was
16 assigned on the taxpayer's records. If the
17 fixed place of business that has a
18 preponderance of substantive contacts cannot
19 be determined for an investment or trading
20 asset or activity to which the presumption in
21 subparagraph (D) of paragraph (2) of this
22 subsection does not apply or with respect to
23 which that presumption has been rebutted, that
24 asset or activity is properly assigned to the
25 state in which the taxpayer's commercial
26 domicile is located. For purposes of this

SB1115- 140 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 subparagraph (E), it shall be presumed,
2 subject to rebuttal, that taxpayer's
3 commercial domicile is in the state of the
4 United States or the District of Columbia to
5 which the greatest number of employees are
6 regularly connected with the management of the
7 investment or trading income or out of which
8 they are working, irrespective of where the
9 services of such employees are performed, as of
10 the last day of the taxable year.

12 (5) (Blank).
13 (c-1) Federally regulated exchanges. For taxable years
14ending on or after December 31, 2012, business income of a
15federally regulated exchange shall, at the option of the
16federally regulated exchange, be apportioned to this State by
17multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of which
18is its business income from sources within this State, and the
19denominator of which is its business income from all sources.
20For purposes of this subsection, the business income within
21this State of a federally regulated exchange is the sum of the
22following:
23 (1) Receipts attributable to transactions executed on
24 a physical trading floor if that physical trading floor is
25 located in this State.
26 (2) Receipts attributable to all other matching,

SB1115- 141 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 execution, or clearing transactions, including without
2 limitation receipts from the provision of matching,
3 execution, or clearing services to another entity,
4 multiplied by (i) for taxable years ending on or after
5 December 31, 2012 but before December 31, 2013, 63.77%; and
6 (ii) for taxable years ending on or after December 31,
7 2013, 27.54%.
8 (3) All other receipts not governed by subparagraphs
9 (1) or (2) of this subsection (c-1), to the extent the
10 receipts would be characterized as "sales in this State"
11 under item (3) of subsection (a) of this Section.
12 "Federally regulated exchange" means (i) a "registered
13entity" within the meaning of 7 U.S.C. Section 1a(40)(A), (B),
14or (C), (ii) an "exchange" or "clearing agency" within the
15meaning of 15 U.S.C. Section 78c (a)(1) or (23), (iii) any such
16entities regulated under any successor regulatory structure to
17the foregoing, and (iv) all taxpayers who are members of the
18same unitary business group as a federally regulated exchange,
19determined without regard to the prohibition in Section
201501(a)(27) of this Act against including in a unitary business
21group taxpayers who are ordinarily required to apportion
22business income under different subsections of this Section;
23provided that this subparagraph (iv) shall apply only if 50% or
24more of the business receipts of the unitary business group
25determined by application of this subparagraph (iv) for the
26taxable year are attributable to the matching, execution, or

SB1115- 142 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1clearing of transactions conducted by an entity described in
2subparagraph (i), (ii), or (iii) of this paragraph.
3 In no event shall the Illinois apportionment percentage
4computed in accordance with this subsection (c-1) for any
5taxpayer for any tax year be less than the Illinois
6apportionment percentage computed under this subsection (c-1)
7for that taxpayer for the first full tax year ending on or
8after December 31, 2013 for which this subsection (c-1) applied
9to the taxpayer.
10 (d) Transportation services. For taxable years ending
11before December 31, 2008, business income derived from
12furnishing transportation services shall be apportioned to
13this State in accordance with paragraphs (1) and (2):
14 (1) Such business income (other than that derived from
15 transportation by pipeline) shall be apportioned to this
16 State by multiplying such income by a fraction, the
17 numerator of which is the revenue miles of the person in
18 this State, and the denominator of which is the revenue
19 miles of the person everywhere. For purposes of this
20 paragraph, a revenue mile is the transportation of 1
21 passenger or 1 net ton of freight the distance of 1 mile
22 for a consideration. Where a person is engaged in the
23 transportation of both passengers and freight, the
24 fraction above referred to shall be determined by means of
25 an average of the passenger revenue mile fraction and the
26 freight revenue mile fraction, weighted to reflect the

SB1115- 143 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 person's
2 (A) relative railway operating income from total
3 passenger and total freight service, as reported to the
4 Interstate Commerce Commission, in the case of
5 transportation by railroad, and
6 (B) relative gross receipts from passenger and
7 freight transportation, in case of transportation
8 other than by railroad.
9 (2) Such business income derived from transportation
10 by pipeline shall be apportioned to this State by
11 multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
12 which is the revenue miles of the person in this State, and
13 the denominator of which is the revenue miles of the person
14 everywhere. For the purposes of this paragraph, a revenue
15 mile is the transportation by pipeline of 1 barrel of oil,
16 1,000 cubic feet of gas, or of any specified quantity of
17 any other substance, the distance of 1 mile for a
18 consideration.
19 (3) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
20 2008, business income derived from providing
21 transportation services other than airline services shall
22 be apportioned to this State by using a fraction, (a) the
23 numerator of which shall be (i) all receipts from any
24 movement or shipment of people, goods, mail, oil, gas, or
25 any other substance (other than by airline) that both
26 originates and terminates in this State, plus (ii) that

SB1115- 144 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 portion of the person's gross receipts from movements or
2 shipments of people, goods, mail, oil, gas, or any other
3 substance (other than by airline) that originates in one
4 state or jurisdiction and terminates in another state or
5 jurisdiction, that is determined by the ratio that the
6 miles traveled in this State bears to total miles
7 everywhere and (b) the denominator of which shall be all
8 revenue derived from the movement or shipment of people,
9 goods, mail, oil, gas, or any other substance (other than
10 by airline). Where a taxpayer is engaged in the
11 transportation of both passengers and freight, the
12 fraction above referred to shall first be determined
13 separately for passenger miles and freight miles. Then an
14 average of the passenger miles fraction and the freight
15 miles fraction shall be weighted to reflect the taxpayer's:
16 (A) relative railway operating income from total
17 passenger and total freight service, as reported to the
18 Surface Transportation Board, in the case of
19 transportation by railroad; and
20 (B) relative gross receipts from passenger and
21 freight transportation, in case of transportation
22 other than by railroad.
23 (4) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
24 2008, business income derived from furnishing airline
25 transportation services shall be apportioned to this State
26 by multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of

SB1115- 145 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 which is the revenue miles of the person in this State, and
2 the denominator of which is the revenue miles of the person
3 everywhere. For purposes of this paragraph, a revenue mile
4 is the transportation of one passenger or one net ton of
5 freight the distance of one mile for a consideration. If a
6 person is engaged in the transportation of both passengers
7 and freight, the fraction above referred to shall be
8 determined by means of an average of the passenger revenue
9 mile fraction and the freight revenue mile fraction,
10 weighted to reflect the person's relative gross receipts
11 from passenger and freight airline transportation.
12 (e) Combined apportionment. Except as provided in
13subsection (e-5), where Where 2 or more persons are engaged in
14a unitary business as described in subsection (a)(27) of
15Section 1501, a part of which is conducted in this State by one
16or more members of the group, the business income attributable
17to this State by any such member or members shall be
18apportioned by means of the combined apportionment method.
19 (e-5) Water's-edge election.
20 (1) Taxpayer members of a unitary business group that
21 meet the requirements paragraph (2) of this subsection
22 (e-5) may elect to determine each of their apportioned
23 shares of the net business income or loss of the unitary
24 business group pursuant to a water's-edge election. Under a
25 water's-edge election, taxpayer members shall take into
26 account all or a portion of the income and apportionment

18 Internal Revenue Code;
19 (D) the portion of the income of any member not
20 described in subparagraph (A), (B), or (C) that is
21 derived from or attributable to sources within the
22 United States, as determined under the Internal
23 Revenue Code without regard to federal treaties, and
24 the member's apportionment factors related thereto;

2 that is defined in Section 952 of Subpart F of the
3 Internal Revenue Code ("Subpart F income"), not
4 excluding lower-tier subsidiaries' distributions of
5 such income which were previously taxed, determined
6 without regard to federal treaties, and the
7 apportionment factors related to that income; any item
8 of income received by a controlled foreign corporation
9 shall be excluded if that income was subject to an
10 effective rate of income tax imposed by a foreign
11 country greater than 90% of the maximum rate of tax
12 specified in Internal Revenue Code Section 11;
13 (F) any member that earns more than 20% of its
14 income, directly or indirectly, from intangible
15 property or service related activities that are
16 deductible against the business income of other
17 members of the unitary business group, to the extent of
18 that income and the apportionment factors related
19 thereto; and
20 (G) the entire income and apportionment factors of
21 any member that is doing business in a tax haven; as
22 used in this subparagraph (G), "doing business in a tax
23 haven" means that the member is engaged in activity
24 sufficient for that tax haven jurisdiction to impose a
25 tax under United States constitutional standards; as
26 used in this subparagraph (G), tax havens include

SB1115- 148 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b

12 U.S. Virgin Islands, and Vanuatu; the Department shall
13 report biennially to the General Assembly with an
14 update of countries that it considers a tax haven.
15 (2) Initiation and withdrawal of election.
16 (A) A water's-edge election is effective only if
17 made on a timely-filed, original return for a tax year
18 by every member of the unitary business group subject
19 to tax under this Act. The Department shall develop
20 rules and regulations governing the impact, if any, on
21 the scope or application of a water's-edge election,
22 including termination or deemed election, resulting
23 from a change in the composition of the unitary
24 business group, the taxpayer members, or any other
25 similar change.
26 (B) An election under this subsection (e-5) shall

SB1115- 149 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 constitute consent to the reasonable production of
2 documents and taking of depositions in accordance with
3 Code of Civil Procedure.
4 (C) In the discretion of the Department, a
5 water's-edge election may be disregarded in part or in
6 whole, and the income and apportionment factors of any
7 member of the taxpayer's unitary business group may be
8 included in the combined report without regard to the
9 provisions of this subsection, if any member of the
10 unitary business group fails to comply with any
11 provision of this Act or if a person was otherwise not
12 included in the water's-edge unitary business group
13 with the substantial objective of avoiding State
14 income tax.
15 (D) A water's-edge election is binding for and
16 applicable to the tax year in which it is made and all
17 tax years thereafter for a period of 10 years. It may
18 be withdrawn or reinstituted after withdrawal prior to
19 the expiration of the 10-year period only upon written
20 request for reasonable cause based on extraordinary
21 hardship due to unforeseen changes in State tax
22 statutes, law, or policy, and only with the written
23 permission of the Department. If the Department grants
24 a withdrawal of an election, it shall impose reasonable
25 conditions as necessary to prevent the evasion of tax
26 or to clearly reflect income for the election period

SB1115- 150 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 prior to or after the withdrawal. Upon the expiration
2 of the 10-year period, a taxpayer may withdraw from the
3 water's edge election. Such withdrawal must be made in
4 writing within one year of the expiration of the
5 election and is binding for a period of 10 years,
6 subject to the same conditions as applied to the
7 original election. If no withdrawal is properly made,
8 the water's edge election shall be in place for an
9 additional 10-year period, subject to the same
10 conditions as applied to the original election.
11 (f) Alternative allocation. If the allocation and
12apportionment provisions of subsections (a) through (e) and of
13subsection (h) do not, for taxable years ending before December
1431, 2008, fairly represent the extent of a person's business
15activity in this State, or, for taxable years ending on or
16after December 31, 2008, fairly represent the market for the
17person's goods, services, or other sources of business income,
18the person may petition for, or the Director may, without a
19petition, permit or require, in respect of all or any part of
20the person's business activity, if reasonable:
21 (1) Separate accounting;
22 (2) The exclusion of any one or more factors;
23 (3) The inclusion of one or more additional factors
24 which will fairly represent the person's business
25 activities or market in this State; or
26 (4) The employment of any other method to effectuate an

SB1115- 151 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 equitable allocation and apportionment of the person's
2 business income.
3 (g) Cross reference. For allocation of business income by
4residents, see Section 301(a).
5 (h) For tax years ending on or after December 31, 1998, the
6apportionment factor of persons who apportion their business
7income to this State under subsection (a) shall be equal to:
8 (1) for tax years ending on or after December 31, 1998
9 and before December 31, 1999, 16 2/3% of the property
10 factor plus 16 2/3% of the payroll factor plus 66 2/3% of
11 the sales factor;
12 (2) for tax years ending on or after December 31, 1999
13 and before December 31, 2000, 8 1/3% of the property factor
14 plus 8 1/3% of the payroll factor plus 83 1/3% of the sales
15 factor;
16 (3) for tax years ending on or after December 31, 2000,
17 the sales factor.
18If, in any tax year ending on or after December 31, 1998 and
19before December 31, 2000, the denominator of the payroll,
20property, or sales factor is zero, the apportionment factor
21computed in paragraph (1) or (2) of this subsection for that
22year shall be divided by an amount equal to 100% minus the
23percentage weight given to each factor whose denominator is
24equal to zero.

22 for all tax years beginning on or before December 31,
23 1996, to all original returns, to all amended returns
24 filed no later than 30 days after the effective date of
25 this amendatory Act of 1996, and to all notices issued
26 on or before the effective date of this amendatory Act

8 December 31, 1996, a taxpayer that falls within the
9 definition of a "financial organization" under
10 subparagraphs (B) or (C) of this paragraph, but who
11 does not fall within the definition of a "financial
12 organization" under the Proposed Regulations issued by
13 the Department of Revenue on July 19, 1996, may

1 of Section 909 more than 30 days after the effective

3 (F) Finance Leases. For purposes of this
4 subsection, a finance lease shall be treated as a loan

22 total business activity; for purposes of this
23 paragraph and clause (a)(3)(B)(ii) of Section 304,
24 business activity within the United States shall be
25 measured by means of the factors ordinarily applicable
26 under subsections (a), (b), (c), (d), or (h) of Section

SB1115- 172 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 304 except that, in the case of members ordinarily
2 required to apportion business income by means of the 3
3 factor formula of property, payroll and sales
4 specified in subsection (a) of Section 304, including
5 the formula as weighted in subsection (h) of Section
6 304, such members shall not use the sales factor in the
7 computation and the results of the property and payroll
8 factor computations of subsection (a) of Section 304
9 shall be divided by 2 (by one if either the property or
10 payroll factor has a denominator of zero). The
11 computation required by the preceding sentence shall,
12 in each case, involve the division of the member's

14 States, insurance premiums on property or risk in the
15 United States, or financial organization business
16 income from sources within the United States, as the
17 case may be, by the respective worldwide figures for
18 such items. Common ownership in the case of
19 corporations is the direct or indirect control or

24 (1) in the same general line (such as manufacturing,
25 wholesaling, retailing of tangible personal property,
26 insurance, transportation or finance); or (2) are

SB1115- 173 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 steps in a vertically structured enterprise or process
2 (such as the steps involved in the production of
3 natural resources, which might include exploration,
4 mining, refining, and marketing); and, in either
5 instance, the members are functionally integrated
6 through the exercise of strong centralized management
7 (where, for example, authority over such matters as
8 purchasing, financing, tax compliance, product line,
9 personnel, marketing and capital investment is not
10 left to each member).
11 (B) In no event, for taxable years ending prior to
12 December 31, 2017, shall any unitary business group
13 include members which are ordinarily required to
14 apportion business income under different subsections
15 of Section 304 except that for tax years ending on or
16 after December 31, 1987 this prohibition shall not
17 apply to a holding company that would otherwise be a
18 member of a unitary business group with taxpayers that
19 apportion business income under any of subsections
20 (b), (c), (c-1), or (d) of Section 304. If a unitary
21 business group would, but for the preceding sentence,
22 include members that are ordinarily required to
23 apportion business income under different subsections
24 of Section 304, then for each subsection of Section 304
25 for which there are two or more members, there shall be
26 a separate unitary business group composed of such

SB1115- 174 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 members. For purposes of the preceding two sentences, a
2 member is "ordinarily required to apportion business
3 income" under a particular subsection of Section 304 if
4 it would be required to use the apportionment method
5 prescribed by such subsection except for the fact that
6 it derives business income solely from Illinois. As
7 used in this paragraph, for taxable years ending before
8 December 31, 2017, the phrase "United States" means
9 only the 50 states and the District of Columbia, but
10 does not include any territory or possession of the
11 United States or any area over which the United States
12 has asserted jurisdiction or claimed exclusive rights
13 with respect to the exploration for or exploitation of
14 natural resources. For taxable years ending on or after
15 December 31, 2017, the phrase "United States", as used
16 in this paragraph, means only the 50 states, the
17 District of Columbia, and any area over which the
18 United States has asserted jurisdiction or claimed
19 exclusive rights with respect to the exploration for or

23 (C) Holding companies.
24 (i) For purposes of this subparagraph, a

1 paragraph (8) of this subsection (a) of Section

7 taxpayers ("controlled taxpayers"); that, during
8 the period that includes the taxable year and the 2
9 immediately preceding taxable years or, if the
10 corporation was formed during the current or
11 immediately preceding taxable year, the taxable
12 years in which the corporation has been in
13 existence, derived substantially all its gross
14 income from dividends, interest, rents, royalties,

18 controlled taxpayers or in property leased or
19 licensed to controlled taxpayers or used by the
20 taxpayer in providing services to controlled
21 taxpayers; and that incurs no substantial expenses
22 other than expenses (including interest and other

26 services to controlled taxpayers or in the leasing

SB1115- 176 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 or licensing of property to controlled taxpayers.
2 (ii) The income of a holding company which is a
3 member of more than one unitary business group
4 shall be included in each unitary business group of
5 which it is a member on a pro rata basis, by
6 including in each unitary business group that
7 portion of the base income of the holding company
8 that bears the same proportion to the total base
9 income of the holding company as the gross receipts
10 of the unitary business group bears to the combined
11 gross receipts of all unitary business groups (in
12 both cases without regard to the holding company)
13 or on any other reasonable basis, consistently
14 applied.
15 (iii) A holding company shall apportion its
16 business income under the subsection of Section
17 304 used by the other members of its unitary
18 business group. The apportionment factors of a
19 holding company which would be a member of more
20 than one unitary business group shall be included
21 with the apportionment factors of each unitary
22 business group of which it is a member on a pro
23 rata basis using the same method used in clause
24 (ii).
25 (iv) The provisions of this subparagraph (C)
26 are intended to clarify existing law.

SB1115- 177 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 (D) If including the base income and factors of a
2 holding company in more than one unitary business group
3 under subparagraph (C) does not fairly reflect the
4 degree of integration between the holding company and
5 one or more of the unitary business groups, the
6 dependence of the holding company and one or more of
7 the unitary business groups upon each other, or the
8 contributions between the holding company and one or
9 more of the unitary business groups, the holding
10 company may petition the Director, under the
11 procedures provided under Section 304(f), for
12 permission to include all base income and factors of
13 the holding company only with members of a unitary
14 business group apportioning their business income
15 under one subsection of subsections (a), (b), (c), or
16 (d) of Section 304. If the petition is granted, the
17 holding company shall be included in a unitary business
18 group only with persons apportioning their business
19 income under the selected subsection of Section 304
20 until the Director grants a petition of the holding
21 company either to be included in more than one unitary
22 business group under subparagraph (C) or to include its
23 base income and factors only with members of a unitary
24 business group apportioning their business income
25 under a different subsection of Section 304.
26 (E) If the unitary business group members'

SB1115- 178 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 accounting periods differ, the common parent's
2 accounting period or, if there is no common parent, the
3 accounting period of the member that is expected to
4 have, on a recurring basis, the greatest Illinois
5 income tax liability must be used to determine whether
6 to use the apportionment method provided in subsection
7 (a) or subsection (h) of Section 304. The prohibition
8 against membership in a unitary business group for
9 taxpayers ordinarily required to apportion income
10 under different subsections of Section 304 does not
11 apply to taxpayers required to apportion income under
12 subsection (a) and subsection (h) of Section 304. The
13 provisions of this amendatory Act of 1998 apply to tax
14 years ending on or after December 31, 1998.
15 (28) Subchapter S corporation. The term "Subchapter S
16 corporation" means a corporation for which there is in
17 effect an election under Section 1362 of the Internal
18 Revenue Code, or for which there is a federal election to
19 opt out of the provisions of the Subchapter S Revision Act
20 of 1982 and have applied instead the prior federal
21 Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1, 1982.
22 (30) Foreign person. The term "foreign person" means
23 any person who is a nonresident alien individual and any
24 nonindividual entity, regardless of where created or
25 organized, whose business activity outside the United
26 States is 80% or more of the entity's total business

SB1115- 179 -LRB101 07045 HLH 52081 b
1 activity.

13 and assigns. The word "company" or "association", when used
14 in reference to a corporation, shall be deemed to embrace
15 the words "successors and assigns of such company or

17 words, or words of similar import, were expressed.
18 (3) Other terms. Any term used in any Section of this
19 Act with respect to the application of, or in connection
20 with, the provisions of any other Section of this Act shall
