6         income for interest paid, accrued, or incurred,

HB0290 - 5 - LRB095 04264 BDD 24305 b

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

 

 

HB0290 - 6 - LRB095 04264 BDD 24305 b

1             person if the taxpayer establishes by clear and
2             convincing evidence that the adjustments are
3             unreasonable; or if the taxpayer and the Director
4             agree in writing to the application or use of an
5             alternative method of apportionment under Section
6             304(f).
7                 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
8             Director from making any other adjustment
9             otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
10             any tax year beginning after the effective date of
11             this amendment provided such adjustment is made
12             pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
13             and such regulations provide methods and standards
14             by which the Department will utilize its authority
15             under Section 404 of this Act;
16             (D-18) For taxable years ending on or after
17         December 31, 2004, an amount equal to the amount of
18         intangible expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a
19         deduction in computing base income, and that were paid,
20         accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to a
21         foreign person who would be a member of the same
22         unitary business group but for the fact that the
23         foreign person's business activity outside the United
24         States is 80% or more of that person's total business
25         activity. The addition modification required by this
26         subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that

 

 

HB0290 - 7 - LRB095 04264 BDD 24305 b

1         dividends were included in base income of the unitary
2         group for the same taxable year and received by the
3         taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
4         business group (including amounts included in gross
5         income under Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal
6         Revenue Code and amounts included in gross income under
7         Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect
8         to the stock of the same person to whom the intangible
9         expenses and costs were directly or indirectly paid,
10         incurred, or accrued. The preceding sentence does not
11         apply to the extent that the same dividends caused a
12         reduction to the addition modification required under
13         Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) of this Act. As used in this
14         subparagraph, the term "intangible expenses and costs"
15         includes (1) expenses, losses, and costs for, or
16         related to, the direct or indirect acquisition, use,
17         maintenance or management, ownership, sale, exchange,
18         or any other disposition of intangible property; (2)
19         losses incurred, directly or indirectly, from
20         factoring transactions or discounting transactions;
21         (3) royalty, patent, technical, and copyright fees;
22         (4) licensing fees; and (5) other similar expenses and
23         costs. For purposes of this subparagraph, "intangible
24         property" includes patents, patent applications, trade
25         names, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask
26         works, trade secrets, and similar types of intangible

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

5             unreasonable; or if the taxpayer and the Director
6             agree in writing to the application or use of an
7             alternative method of apportionment under Section
8             304(f);
9                 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
10             Director from making any other adjustment
11             otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
12             any tax year beginning after the effective date of
13             this amendment provided such adjustment is made
14             pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department

1         activity. The addition modification required by this
2         subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that

4         group for the same taxable year and received by the
5         taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
6         business group (including amounts included in gross
7         income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the
8         Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross
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

16         this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
17         "intangible expenses and costs" includes: (1)

10             unitary reporting, to a tax on or measured by net
11             income with respect to such item; or
12                 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
13             paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
14             indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based

21                     (b) the transaction giving rise to the
22                 intangible expense or cost between the
23                 taxpayer and the foreign person did not have as
24                 a 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;

5             person if the taxpayer establishes by clear and
6             convincing evidence, that the adjustments are
7             unreasonable; or if the taxpayer and the Director
8             agree in writing to the application or use of an
9             alternative method of apportionment under Section
10             304(f);
11                 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
12             Director from making any other adjustment
13             otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
14             any tax year beginning after the effective date of
15             this amendment provided such adjustment is made
16             pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department

16         of Section 250;
17             (R) For taxable years 2001 and thereafter, for the
18         taxable year in which the bonus depreciation deduction

4             unitary reporting, to a tax on or measured by net
5             income with respect to such interest; or
6                 (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
7             incurred, directly or indirectly, to a foreign
8             person if the taxpayer can establish, based on a
9             preponderance of the evidence, both of the
10             following:
11                     (a) the foreign person, during the same
12                 taxable year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the
13                 interest to a person that is not a related
14                 member, and
15                     (b) the transaction giving rise to the
16                 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
17                 foreign person did not have as a principal
18                 purpose the avoidance of Illinois income tax,
19                 and is paid pursuant to a contract or agreement

21                 and terms; or
22                 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
23             clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
24             paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
25             agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
26             terms and the principal purpose for the payment is

 

 

HB0290 - 62 - LRB095 04264 BDD 24305 b

1             not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
2                 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
3             incurred, directly or indirectly, to a foreign
4             person if the taxpayer establishes by clear and
5             convincing evidence that the adjustments are
6             unreasonable; or if the taxpayer and the Director
7             agree in writing to the application or use of an
8             alternative method of apportionment under Section
9             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
17             by which the Department will utilize its authority
18             under Section 404 of this Act; and
19             (D-8) For taxable years ending on or after December
20         31, 2004, an amount equal to the amount of intangible
21         expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
22         computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
23         incurred, directly or indirectly, to a foreign person
24         who would be a member of the same unitary business
25         group but for the fact that the foreign person's
26         business activity outside the United States is 80% or

 

 

HB0290 - 63 - LRB095 04264 BDD 24305 b

1         more of that person's total business activity. The
2         addition modification required by this subparagraph
3         shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
4         included in base income of the unitary group for the
5         same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
6         member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
7         (including amounts included in gross income pursuant
8         to Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue
9         Code and amounts included in gross income under Section
10         78 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the
11         stock of the same person to whom the intangible
12         expenses and costs were directly or indirectly paid,
13         incurred or accrued. The preceding sentence shall not
14         apply to the extent that the same dividends caused a
15         reduction to the addition modification required under
16         Section 203(d)(2)(D-7) of this Act. As used in this
17         subparagraph, the term "intangible expenses and costs"
18         includes (1) expenses, losses, and costs for, or
19         related to, the direct or indirect acquisition, use,
20         maintenance or management, ownership, sale, exchange,

1     (E) of paragraph (2) of subsection (b) for corporations or
2     subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subsection (c) for
3     trusts and estates, exceed subtraction modifications, an
4     addition modification must be made under those
5     subparagraphs for any other taxable year to which the
6     taxable income less than zero (net operating loss) is
7     applied under Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code or
8     under subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of this subsection
9     (e) applied in conjunction with Section 172 of the Internal
10     Revenue Code.
11         (2) Special rule. For purposes of paragraph (1) of this
12     subsection, the taxable income properly reportable for
13     federal income tax purposes shall mean:
14             (A) Certain life insurance companies. In the case
15         of a life insurance company subject to the tax imposed
16         by Section 801 of the Internal Revenue Code, life
17         insurance company taxable income, plus the amount of
18         distribution from pre-1984 policyholder surplus
19         accounts as calculated under Section 815a of the
20         Internal Revenue Code;
21             (B) Certain other insurance companies. In the case
22         of mutual insurance companies subject to the tax
23         imposed by Section 831 of the Internal Revenue Code,

2         investment company taxable income;

4         real estate investment trust subject to the tax imposed
5         by Section 857 of the Internal Revenue Code, real
6         estate investment trust taxable income;
7             (E) Consolidated corporations. In the case of a
8         corporation which is a member of an affiliated group of
9         corporations filing a consolidated income tax return
10         for the taxable year for federal income tax purposes,
11         taxable income determined as if such corporation had
12         filed a separate return for federal income tax purposes
13         for the taxable year and each preceding taxable year
14         for which it was a member of an affiliated group. For
15         purposes of this subparagraph, the taxpayer's separate
16         taxable income shall be determined as if the election
17         provided by Section 243(b) (2) of the Internal Revenue
18         Code had been in effect for all such years;
19             (F) Cooperatives. In the case of a cooperative
20         corporation or association, the taxable income of such

26         an election for the taxable year under Section 1362 of

 

 

HB0290 - 75 - LRB095 04264 BDD 24305 b

1         the Internal Revenue Code, the taxable income of such
2         corporation determined in accordance with Section
3         1363(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, except that
4         taxable income shall take into account those items
5         which are required by Section 1363(b)(1) of the
6         Internal Revenue Code to be separately stated; and (ii)
7         a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
8         a federal election to opt out of the provisions of the
9         Subchapter S Revision Act of 1982 and have applied
10         instead the prior federal Subchapter S rules as in
11         effect on July 1, 1982, the taxable income of such
12         corporation determined in accordance with the federal
13         Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1, 1982; and
14             (H) Partnerships. In the case of a partnership,
15         taxable income determined in accordance with Section
16         703 of the Internal Revenue Code, except that taxable
17         income shall take into account those items which are
18         required by Section 703(a)(1) to be separately stated
19         but which would be taken into account by an individual
20         in calculating his taxable income.
21         (3) Recapture of business expenses on disposition of
22     asset or business. Notwithstanding any other law to the
23     contrary, if in prior years income from an asset or
24     business has been classified as business income and in a
25     later year is demonstrated to be non-business income, then
26     all expenses, without limitation, deducted in such later

 

 

HB0290 - 76 - LRB095 04264 BDD 24305 b

1     year and in the 2 immediately preceding taxable years
2     related to that asset or business that generated the
3     non-business income shall be added back and recaptured as
4     business income in the year of the disposition of the asset
5     or business. Such amount shall be apportioned to Illinois
6     using the greater of the apportionment fraction computed
7     for the business under Section 304 of this Act for the
8     taxable year or the average of the apportionment fractions
9     computed for the business under Section 304 of this Act for
10     the taxable year and for the 2 immediately preceding
11     taxable years.
12     (f) Valuation limitation amount.
13         (1) In general. The valuation limitation amount
14     referred to in subsections (a) (2) (G), (c) (2) (I) and
15     (d)(2) (E) is an amount equal to:
16             (A) The sum of the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
17         amounts (to the extent consisting of gain reportable
18         under the provisions of Section 1245 or 1250 of the
19         Internal Revenue Code) for all property in respect of
20         which such gain was reported for the taxable year; plus
21             (B) The lesser of (i) the sum of the pre-August 1,
22         1969 appreciation amounts (to the extent consisting of
23         capital gain) for all property in respect of which such
24         gain was reported for federal income tax purposes for
25         the taxable year, or (ii) the net capital gain for the
26         taxable year, reduced in either case by any amount of

 

 

HB0290 - 77 - LRB095 04264 BDD 24305 b

1         such gain included in the amount determined under
2         subsection (a) (2) (F) or (c) (2) (H).
3         (2) Pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount.
4             (A) If the fair market value of property referred
5         to in paragraph (1) was readily ascertainable on August
6         1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount for
7         such property is the lesser of (i) the excess of such
8         fair market value over the taxpayer's basis (for
9         determining gain) for such property on that date
10         (determined under the Internal Revenue Code as in
11         effect on that date), or (ii) the total gain realized
12         and reportable for federal income tax purposes in
13         respect of the sale, exchange or other disposition of
14         such property.
15             (B) If the fair market value of property referred
16         to in paragraph (1) was not readily ascertainable on
17         August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
18         amount for such property is that amount which bears the
19         same ratio to the total gain reported in respect of the
20         property for federal income tax purposes for the
21         taxable year, as the number of full calendar months in
22         that part of the taxpayer's holding period for the
23         property ending July 31, 1969 bears to the number of
24         full calendar months in the taxpayer's entire holding
25         period for the property.
26             (C) The Department shall prescribe such

 

 

HB0290 - 78 - LRB095 04264 BDD 24305 b

1         regulations as may be necessary to carry out the
2         purposes of this paragraph.
 
3     (g) Double deductions. Unless specifically provided
4 otherwise, nothing in this Section shall permit the same item
5 to be deducted more than once.
 
6     (h) Legislative intention. Except as expressly provided by
7 this Section there shall be no modifications or limitations on
8 the amounts of income, gain, loss or deduction taken into
9 account in determining gross income, adjusted gross income or
10 taxable income for federal income tax purposes for the taxable
11 year, or in the amount of such items entering into the
12 computation of base income and net income under this Act for
13 such taxable year, whether in respect of property values as of
