SB0717- 4 -LRB099 07178 HLH 27271 b


1 modification under this

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

SB0717- 5 -LRB099 07178 HLH 27271 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 
 
 
SB0717- 6 -LRB099 07178 HLH 27271 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 
 
 
SB0717- 7 -LRB099 07178 HLH 27271 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" 
 
 
SB0717- 8 -LRB099 07178 HLH 27271 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:
 
 
SB0717- 9 -LRB099 07178 HLH 27271 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 
 
 
SB0717- 10 -LRB099 07178 HLH 27271 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

5 taxable year from any taxable year ending
prior to 
6 December 31, 1986 shall be reduced by the amount of 
7 addition
modification under this subparagraph (E)

1 indirectly, (i) for taxable years ending on or after

6 person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable 
7 years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person 
8 who would be a member of the same unitary business 
9 group but for the fact that the person is prohibited 
10 under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the 
11 unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily 
12 required to apportion business income under different 
13 subsections of Section 304. The addition modification 
14 required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the 
15 extent that dividends were included in base income of 
16 the unitary group for the same taxable year and 
17 received by the taxpayer or by a member of the

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

21    (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on 
22 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest 
23 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or 
24 agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and 
25 terms and the principal purpose for the payment is 
26 not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or

 
 
SB0717- 33 -LRB099 07178 HLH 27271 b


1    (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or 
2 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if 
3 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing 
4 evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or 
5 if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing 
6 to the application or use of an alternative method 
7 of apportionment under Section 304(f).

8    Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the 
9 Director from making any other adjustment 
10 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for 
11 any tax year beginning after the effective date of 
12 this amendment provided such adjustment is made 
13 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department 
14 and such regulations provide methods and standards 
15 by which the Department will utilize its authority 
16 under Section 404 of this Act;

17   (E-13) An amount equal to the amount of intangible 
18 expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in 
19 computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or 
20 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable 
21 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a 
22 foreign person who would be a member of the same 
23 unitary business group but for the fact that the 
24 foreign person's business activity outside the United 
25 States is 80% or more of that person's total business 
26 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after 
 
 
SB0717- 34 -LRB099 07178 HLH 27271 b


1 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of 
2 the same unitary business group but for the fact that 
3 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) 
4 from being included in the unitary business group 
5 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion 
6 business income under different subsections of Section 
7 304. The addition modification required by this 
8 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that 
9 dividends were included in base income of the unitary 
10 group for the same taxable year and received by the 
11 taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary 
12 business group (including amounts included in gross 
13 income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the 
14 Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross 
15 income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code) 
16 with respect to the stock of the same person to whom 
17 the intangible expenses and costs were directly or 
18 indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding

16 who would be a member of the same unitary business 
17 group but for the fact that the person is prohibited 
18 under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the 
19 unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily 
20 required to apportion business income under different 
21 subsections of Section 304. The addition modification 
22 required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the 
23 extent that dividends were included in base income of

SB0717- 56 -LRB099 07178 HLH 27271 b


1 included in gross income pursuant to Sections 951 
2 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code and amounts 
3 included in gross income under Section 78 of the

7   This paragraph shall not apply to the following:

8    (i) an item of interest paid, accrued, or 
9 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person who 
10 is subject in a foreign country or state, other 
11 than a state which requires mandatory unitary 
12 reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income 
13 with respect to such interest; or
14    (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or 
15 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if 
16 the taxpayer can establish, based on a 
17 preponderance of the evidence, both of the 
18 following:
19     (a) the person, during the same taxable 
20 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest 
21 to a person that is not a related member, and
22     (b) the transaction giving rise to the 
23 interest expense between the taxpayer and the 
24 person did not have as a principal purpose the 
25 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid 
26 pursuant to a contract or agreement that 
 
 
SB0717- 57 -LRB099 07178 HLH 27271 b


1 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and 
2 terms; or

3    (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on 
4 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest 
5 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or 
6 agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and 
7 terms and the principal purpose for the payment is 
8 not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or

9    (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or 
10 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if 
11 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing 
12 evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or 
13 if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing 
14 to the application or use of an alternative method 
15 of apportionment under Section 304(f).

16    Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the 
17 Director from making any other adjustment 
18 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for 
19 any tax year beginning after the effective date of 
20 this amendment provided such adjustment is made 
21 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department 
22 and such regulations provide methods and standards 
23 by which the Department will utilize its authority 
24 under Section 404 of this Act;

25   (G-13) An amount equal to the amount of intangible 
26 expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in 
 
 
SB0717- 58 -LRB099 07178 HLH 27271 b


1 computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or 
2 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable 
3 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a 
4 foreign person who would be a member of the same 
5 unitary business group but for the fact that the 
6 foreign person's business activity outside the United 
7 States is 80% or more of that person's total business 
8 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after 
9 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of 
10 the same unitary business group but for the fact that 
11 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) 
12 from being included in the unitary business group 
13 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion 
14 business income under different subsections of Section 
15 304. The addition modification required by this 
16 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that 
17 dividends were included in base income of the unitary 
18 group for the same taxable year and received by the 
19 taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary 
20 business group (including amounts included in gross 
21 income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the 
22 Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross 
23 income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code) 
24 with respect to the stock of the same person to whom 
25 the intangible expenses and costs were directly or 
26 indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding 
 
 
SB0717- 59 -LRB099 07178 HLH 27271 b


1 sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same 
2 dividends caused a reduction to the addition 
3 modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) of 
4 this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term 
5 "intangible expenses and costs" includes: (1) 
6 expenses, losses, and costs for or related to the 
7 direct or indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or 
8 management, ownership, sale, exchange, or any other 
9 disposition of intangible property; (2) losses 
10 incurred, directly or indirectly, from factoring 
11 transactions or discounting transactions; (3) royalty, 
12 patent, technical, and copyright fees; (4) licensing 
13 fees; and (5) other similar expenses and costs. For 
14 purposes of this subparagraph, "intangible property" 
15 includes patents, patent applications, trade names, 
16 trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask works, 
17 trade secrets, and similar types of intangible assets.
18   This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
19    (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs 
20 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or 
21 indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is 
22 subject in a foreign country or state, other than a 
23 state which requires mandatory unitary reporting, 
24 to a tax on or measured by net income with respect 
25 to such item; or
26    (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost 
 
 
SB0717- 60 -LRB099 07178 HLH 27271 b


1 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or 
2 indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based 
3 on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the 
4 following:
5     (a) the person during the same taxable 
6 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the 
7 intangible expense or cost to a person that is 
8 not a related member, and
9     (b) the transaction giving rise to the 
10 intangible expense or cost between the 
11 taxpayer and the person did not have as a 
12 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois 
13 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract 
14 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms; 
15 or
16    (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost 
17 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or 
18 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the 
19 taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing 
20 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable; 
21 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in 
22 writing to the application or use of an alternative 
23 method of apportionment under Section 304(f);

24    Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the 
25 Director from making any other adjustment 
26 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for 
 
 
SB0717- 61 -LRB099 07178 HLH 27271 b


1 any tax year beginning after the effective date of 
2 this amendment provided such adjustment is made 
3 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department 
4 and such regulations provide methods and standards 
5 by which the Department will utilize its authority 
6 under Section 404 of this Act;

7   (G-14) For taxable years ending on or after 
8 December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of 
9 insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed 
10 as a deduction in computing base income, and that were 
11 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to 
12 a person who would be a member of the same unitary 
13 business group but for the fact that the person is 
14 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being 
15 included in the unitary business group because he or 
16 she is ordinarily required to apportion business 
17 income under different subsections of Section 304. The 
18 addition modification required by this subparagraph 
19 shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were 
20 included in base income of the unitary group for the 
21 same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a 
22 member of the taxpayer's unitary business group 
23 (including amounts included in gross income under 
24 Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code 
25 and amounts included in gross income under Section 78 
26 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock

1 of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were 
2 directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The 
3 preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that 
4 the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition

6 Section 203(c)(2)(G-13) of this Act;
7   (G-15) An amount equal to the credit allowable to

1 taxable
year under subsection (k) of Section 168 of the 
2 Internal Revenue Code;

2 person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable 
3 years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person 
4 who would be a member of the same unitary business

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

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

22 not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or

23    (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or 
24 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if 
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

8 this amendment provided such adjustment is made 
9 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department 
10 and such regulations provide methods and standards 
11 by which the Department will utilize its authority 
12 under Section 404 of this Act; and

13   (D-8) An amount equal to the amount of intangible 
14 expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in 
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

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

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

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(d)(2)(D-7) of 
18 this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term 
19 "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,

6   This paragraph shall not apply to the following:

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 
15 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or 
16 indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based 
17 on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the 
18 following:
19     (a) the person during the same taxable 
20 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the 
21 intangible expense or cost to a person that is 
22 not a related member, and
23     (b) the transaction giving rise to the 
24 intangible expense or cost between the 
25 taxpayer and the person did not have as a

2 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms; 
3 or
4    (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost 
5 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or 
6 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the 
7 taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing 
8 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable; 
9 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in 
10 writing to the application or use of an alternative 
11 method 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-9) For taxable years ending on or after December 
22 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of insurance 
23 premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a 
24 deduction in computing base income, and that were paid,

2 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being 
3 included in the unitary business group because he or

6 addition modification required by this subparagraph 
7 shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were 
8 included in base income of the unitary group for the

13 and amounts included in gross income under Section 78 
14 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock 
15 of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were 
16 directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The 
17 preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that 
18 the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition 
19 modification required under Section 203(d)(2)(D-7) or 
20 Section 203(d)(2)(D-8) of this Act;
21   (D-10) An amount equal to the credit allowable to

amount of 
8 distribution from pre-1984 policyholder surplus 
9 accounts as

26 for the taxable year for federal income tax purposes,

 
 
SB0717- 91 -LRB099 07178 HLH 27271 b


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

26 with original returns due on or after the date of the 
 
 
SB0717- 92 -LRB099 07178 HLH 27271 b


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

17 corporation determined in accordance with Section 
18 1363(b) of the Internal
Revenue Code, except that 
19 taxable income shall take into
account those items 
20 which are required by Section 1363(b)(1) of the

21 Internal Revenue Code to be separately stated; and (ii) 
22 a Subchapter
S corporation for which there is in effect 
23 a federal election to opt out of
the provisions of the 
24 Subchapter S Revision Act of 1982 and have applied

25 instead the prior federal Subchapter S rules as in 
26 effect on July 1, 1982,
the taxable income of such 
 
 
SB0717- 93 -LRB099 07178 HLH 27271 b


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

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

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

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 
 
 
SB0717- 95 -LRB099 07178 HLH 27271 b

2 and
reportable for federal income tax purposes in 
3 respect of the sale,
exchange or other disposition of 
4 such property.
5   (B) If the fair market value of property referred 
6 to in paragraph
(1) was not readily ascertainable on 
7 August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1,
1969 appreciation 
8 amount for such property is that amount which bears
the 
9 same ratio to the total gain reported in respect of the 
10 property for
federal income tax purposes for the 
11 taxable year, as the number of full
calendar months in 
12 that part of the taxpayer's holding period for the

13 property ending July 31, 1969 bears to the number of 
14 full calendar
months in the taxpayer's entire holding 
15 period for the
property.
16   (C) The Department shall prescribe such 
17 regulations as may be
necessary to carry out the 
18 purposes of this paragraph.

22   (D) Subparagraphs
(B) and (C) of this paragraph are 
23 declaratory of
existing law and apply retroactively, 
24 for all tax years beginning on or before
December 31, 
25 1996,
to all original returns, to all amended returns 
26 filed no later than 30
days after the effective date of

1 this amendatory Act of 1996, and to all
notices issued 
2 on or before the effective date of this amendatory Act 
3 of 1996
under subsection (a) of Section 903, subsection 
4 (a) of Section 904,
subsection (e) of Section 909, or 
5 Section 912.
A taxpayer that is a "financial 
6 organization" that engages in any transaction
with an 
7 affiliate shall be a "financial organization" for all 
8 purposes of this
Act.


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

16 irrevocably elect to apply the Proposed Regulations 
17 for all of those years as
though the Proposed 
18 Regulations had been lawfully promulgated, adopted, 
19 and in
effect for all of those years. For purposes of 
20 applying subparagraphs (B) or
(C) of
this
paragraph to

26 business
activity within the United States shall be 
 
 
SB0717- 128 -LRB099 07178 HLH 27271 b


1 measured by means of the factors
ordinarily applicable 
2 under subsections (a), (b), (c), (d), or (h)
of Section

3 304 except that, in the case of members ordinarily 
4 required to apportion
business income by means of the 3 
5 factor formula of property, payroll and sales

6 specified in subsection (a) of Section 304, including 
7 the
formula as weighted in subsection (h) of Section 
8 304, such members shall
not use the sales factor in the 
9 computation and the results of the property
and payroll 
10 factor computations of subsection (a) of Section 304 
11 shall be
divided by 2 (by one if either
the property or 
12 payroll factor has a denominator of zero). The 
13 computation
required by the preceding sentence shall, 
14 in each case, involve the division of
the member's 
15 property, payroll, or revenue miles in the United 
16 States,
insurance premiums on property or risk in the 
17 United States, or financial
organization business 
18 income from sources within the United States, as the

19 case may be, by the respective worldwide figures for 
20 such items. Common
ownership in the case of 
21 corporations is the direct or indirect control or

22 ownership of more than 50% of the outstanding voting 
23 stock of the persons
carrying on unitary business 
24 activity. Unitary business activity can
ordinarily be 
25 illustrated where the activities of the members are: 
26 (1) in the
same general line (such as manufacturing, 
 
 
SB0717- 129 -LRB099 07178 HLH 27271 b


1 wholesaling, retailing of tangible
personal property, 
2 insurance, transportation or finance); or (2) are 
3 steps in a
vertically structured enterprise or process 
4 (such as the steps involved in the
production of 
5 natural resources, which might include exploration, 
6 mining,
refining, and marketing); and, in either 
7 instance, the members are functionally
integrated 
8 through the exercise of strong centralized management 
9 (where, for
example, authority over such matters as 
10 purchasing, financing, tax compliance,
product line, 
11 personnel, marketing and capital investment is not 
12 left to each
member).

13   (B) In no event, for taxable years ending prior to 
14 December 31, 2015, shall any
unitary business group 
15 include members
which are ordinarily required to 
16 apportion business income under different
subsections 
17 of Section 304 except that for tax years ending on or 
18 after
December 31, 1987 this prohibition shall not 
19 apply to a holding company that would otherwise be a 
20 member of a unitary business group with taxpayers that 
21 apportion business income under any of subsections 
22 (b), (c), (c-1), or (d) of Section 304. If a unitary 
23 business
group would, but for the preceding sentence, 
24 include members that are
ordinarily required to 
25 apportion business income under different subsections 
26 of
Section 304, then for each subsection of Section 304 
 
 
SB0717- 130 -LRB099 07178 HLH 27271 b


1 for which there are two or
more members, there shall be 
2 a separate unitary business group composed of such

3 members. For purposes of the preceding two sentences, a 
4 member is "ordinarily
required to apportion business 
5 income" under a particular subsection of Section
304 if 
6 it would be required to use the apportionment method 
7 prescribed by such
subsection except for the fact that 
8 it derives business income solely from
Illinois. As 
9 used in this paragraph, the phrase "United States" 
10 means only the 50 states and the District of Columbia, 
11 but does not include any territory or possession of the 
12 United States or any area over which the United States 
13 has asserted jurisdiction or claimed exclusive rights 
14 with respect to the exploration for or exploitation of 
15 natural resources.

16   (C) Holding companies.
17    (i) For purposes of this subparagraph, a 
18 "holding company" is a corporation (other than a 
19 corporation that is a financial organization under 
20 paragraph (8) of this subsection (a) of Section 
21 1501 because it is a bank holding company under the 
22 provisions of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 
23 (12 U.S.C. 1841, et seq.) or because it is owned by 
24 a bank or a bank holding company) that owns a 
25 controlling interest in one or more other 
26 taxpayers ("controlled taxpayers"); that, during 
 
 
SB0717- 131 -LRB099 07178 HLH 27271 b


1 the period that includes the taxable year and the 2 
2 immediately preceding taxable years or, if the 
3 corporation was formed during the current or 
4 immediately preceding taxable year, the taxable 
5 years in which the corporation has been in 
6 existence, derived substantially all its gross 
7 income from dividends, interest, rents, royalties, 
8 fees or other charges received from controlled 
9 taxpayers for the provision of services, and gains 
10 on the sale or other disposition of interests in 
11 controlled taxpayers or in property leased or 
12 licensed to controlled taxpayers or used by the 
13 taxpayer in providing services to controlled 
14 taxpayers; and that incurs no substantial expenses 
15 other than expenses (including interest and other 
16 costs of borrowing) incurred in connection with 
17 the acquisition and holding of interests in 
18 controlled taxpayers and in the provision of 
19 services to controlled taxpayers or in the leasing 
20 or licensing of property to controlled taxpayers.
21    (ii) The income of a holding company which is a 
22 member of more than one unitary business group 
23 shall be included in each unitary business group of 
24 which it is a member on a pro rata basis, by 
25 including in each unitary business group that 
26 portion of the base income of the holding company 
 
 
SB0717- 132 -LRB099 07178 HLH 27271 b


1 that bears the same proportion to the total base 
2 income of the holding company as the gross receipts 
3 of the unitary business group bears to the combined 
4 gross receipts of all unitary business groups (in 
5 both cases without regard to the holding company) 
6 or on any other reasonable basis, consistently 
7 applied.
8    (iii) A holding company shall apportion its 
9 business income under the subsection of Section 
10 304 used by the other members of its unitary 
11 business group. The apportionment factors of a 
12 holding company which would be a member of more 
13 than one unitary business group shall be included 
14 with the apportionment factors of each unitary 
15 business group of which it is a member on a pro 
16 rata basis using the same method used in clause 
17 (ii).
18    (iv) The provisions of this subparagraph (C) 
19 are intended to clarify existing law.
20   (D) If including the base income and factors of a 
21 holding company in more than one unitary business group 
22 under subparagraph (C) does not fairly reflect the 
23 degree of integration between the holding company and 
24 one or more of the unitary business groups, the 
25 dependence of the holding company and one or more of 
26 the unitary business groups upon each other, or the 
 
 
SB0717- 133 -LRB099 07178 HLH 27271 b


1 contributions between the holding company and one or 
2 more of the unitary business groups, the holding 
3 company may petition the Director, under the 
4 procedures provided under Section 304(f), for 
5 permission to include all base income and factors of 
6 the holding company only with members of a unitary 
7 business group apportioning their business income 
8 under one subsection of subsections (a), (b), (c), or 
9 (d) of Section 304. If the petition is granted, the 
10 holding company shall be included in a unitary business 
11 group only with persons apportioning their business 
12 income under the selected subsection of Section 304 
13 until the Director grants a petition of the holding 
14 company either to be included in more than one unitary 
15 business group under subparagraph (C) or to include its 
16 base income and factors only with members of a unitary 
17 business group apportioning their business income 
18 under a different subsection of Section 304. 
19   (E) If the unitary business group members' 
20 accounting periods differ,
the common parent's 
21 accounting period or, if there is no common parent, the

22 accounting period of the member that is expected to 
23 have, on a recurring basis,
the greatest Illinois 
24 income tax liability must be used to determine whether 
25 to
use the apportionment method provided in subsection 
26 (a) or subsection (h) of
Section 304. The
prohibition 
 
 
SB0717- 134 -LRB099 07178 HLH 27271 b


1 against membership in a unitary business group for 
2 taxpayers
ordinarily required to apportion income 
3 under different subsections of Section
304 does not 
4 apply to taxpayers required to apportion income under 
5 subsection
(a) and subsection (h) of Section
304. The 
6 provisions of this amendatory Act of 1998 apply to tax

7 years ending on or after December 31, 1998.


8  (28) Subchapter S corporation. The term "Subchapter S 
9 corporation"
means a corporation for which there is in 
10 effect an election under Section
1362 of the Internal 
11 Revenue Code, or for which there is a federal election

13 of 1982 and
have applied instead the prior federal 
14 Subchapter S rules as in effect on July
1, 1982.

15  (30) Foreign person. The term "foreign person" means 
16 any person who is a nonresident alien individual and any 
17 nonindividual entity, regardless of where created or 
18 organized, whose business activity outside the United 
19 States is 80% or more of the entity's total business 
20 activity.

23 used in this Act, where not otherwise distinctly expressed 
24 or manifestly
