11 Sec. 304. Business income of persons other than
12 residents.
13 (a) In general. The business income of a person other
14 than a resident shall be allocated to this State if such
15 person's business income is derived solely from this State.
16 If a person other than a resident derives business income
17 from this State and one or more other states, then, for tax
18 years ending on or before December 30, 1997, and except as
19 otherwise provided by this Section, such person's business
20 income shall be apportioned to this State by multiplying the
21 income by a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of
-2- LRB9000853KDksam
1 the property factor (if any), the payroll factor (if any) and
2 200% of the sales factor (if any), and the denominator of
3 which is 4 reduced by the number of factors other than the
4 sales factor which have a denominator of zero and by an
5 additional 2 if the sales factor has a denominator of zero.
6 For tax years ending on or after December 31, 1997, and
7 except as otherwise provided by this Section, persons other
8 than residents who derive business income from this State and
9 one or more other states shall apportion their business
10 income to this State as provided in subsection (h) of this
11 Section.
12 (1) Property factor.
13 (A) The property factor is a fraction, the
14 numerator of which is the average value of the person's
15 real and tangible personal property owned or rented and
16 used in the trade or business in this State during the
17 taxable year and the denominator of which is the average
18 value of all the person's real and tangible personal
19 property owned or rented and used in the trade or
20 business during the taxable year.
21 (B) Property owned by the person is valued at its
22 original cost. Property rented by the person is valued at
23 8 times the net annual rental rate. Net annual rental
24 rate is the annual rental rate paid by the person less
25 any annual rental rate received by the person from
26 sub-rentals.
27 (C) The average value of property shall be
28 determined by averaging the values at the beginning and
29 ending of the taxable year but the Director may require
30 the averaging of monthly values during the taxable year
31 if reasonably required to reflect properly the average
32 value of the person's property.
33 (2) Payroll factor.
34 (A) The payroll factor is a fraction, the numerator
-3- LRB9000853KDksam
1 of which is the total amount paid in this State during
2 the 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
7 entirely within this State;
8 (ii) The individual's service is performed
9 both 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
13 this State and either the base of operations, or if
14 there is no base of operations, the place from which
15 the service is directed or controlled is within this
16 State, or the base of operations or the place from
17 which the service is directed or controlled is not
18 in any state in which some part of the service is
19 performed, but the individual's residence is in this
20 State.
21 Beginning with taxable years ending on or after
22 December 31, 1992, for residents of states that impose a
23 comparable tax liability on residents of this State, for
24 purposes of item (i) of this paragraph (B), in the case
25 of persons who perform personal services under personal
26 service contracts for sports performances, services by
27 that person at a sporting event taking place in Illinois
28 shall be deemed to be a performance entirely within this
29 State.
30 (3) Sales factor.
31 (A) The sales factor is a fraction, the numerator
32 of which is the total sales of the person in this State
33 during the taxable year, and the denominator of which is
34 the total sales of the person everywhere during the
-4- LRB9000853KDksam
1 taxable year.
2 (B) Sales of tangible personal property are in this
3 State if:
4 (i) The property is delivered or shipped to a
5 purchaser, other than the United States government,
6 within this State regardless of the f. o. b. point
7 or other conditions of the sale; or
8 (ii) The property is shipped from an office,
9 store, warehouse, factory or other place of storage
10 in this State and either the purchaser is the United
11 States government or the person is not taxable in
12 the state of the purchaser; provided, however, that
13 premises owned or leased by a person who has
14 independently contracted with the seller for the
15 printing of newspapers, periodicals or books shall
16 not be deemed to be an office, store, warehouse,
17 factory or other place of storage for purposes of
18 this Section. Sales of tangible personal property
19 are not in this State if the seller and purchaser
20 would be members of the same unitary business group
21 but for the fact that either the seller or purchaser
22 is a person with 80% or more of total business
23 activity outside of the United States and the
24 property is purchased for resale.
25 (C) Sales, other than sales of tangible personal
26 property, are in this State if:
27 (i) The income-producing activity is performed
28 in this State; or
29 (ii) The income-producing activity is
30 performed both within and without this State and a
31 greater proportion of the income-producing activity
32 is performed within this State than without this
33 State, based on performance costs.
34 (D) For taxable years ending on or after December
-5- LRB9000853KDksam
1 31, 1995 and excluding taxable years ending after
2 December 31, 1997, the following items of income shall
3 not be included in the numerator or denominator of the
4 sales factor: dividends; amounts included under Section
5 78 of the Internal Revenue Code; and Subpart F income as
6 defined in Section 952 of the Internal Revenue Code. No
7 inference shall be drawn from the enactment of this
8 paragraph (D) in construing this Section for taxable
9 years ending before December 31, 1995.
10 (b) Insurance companies.
11 (1) In general. Except as otherwise provided by
12 paragraph (2), business income of an insurance company for a
13 taxable year shall be apportioned to this State by
14 multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of which
15 is the direct premiums written for insurance upon property or
16 risk in this State, and the denominator of which is the
17 direct premiums written for insurance upon property or risk
18 everywhere. For purposes of this subsection, the term "direct
19 premiums written" means the total amount of direct premiums
20 written, assessments and annuity considerations as reported
21 for the taxable year on the annual statement filed by the
22 company with the Illinois Director of Insurance in the form
23 approved by the National Convention of Insurance
24 Commissioners or such other form as may be prescribed in lieu
25 thereof.
26 (2) Reinsurance. If the principal source of premiums
27 written by an insurance company consists of premiums for
28 reinsurance accepted by it, the business income of such
29 company shall be apportioned to this State by multiplying
30 such income by a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum
31 of (i) direct premiums written for insurance upon property or
32 risk in this State, plus (ii) premiums written for
33 reinsurance accepted in respect of property or risk in this
34 State, and the denominator of which is the sum of (iii)
-6- LRB9000853KDksam
1 direct premiums written for insurance upon property or risk
2 everywhere, plus (iv) premiums written for reinsurance
3 accepted in respect of property or risk everywhere. For
4 purposes of this paragraph, premiums written for reinsurance
5 accepted in respect of property or risk in this State,
6 whether or not otherwise determinable, may, at the election
7 of the company, be determined on the basis of the proportion
8 which premiums written for reinsurance accepted from
9 companies commercially domiciled in Illinois bears to
10 premiums written for reinsurance accepted from all sources,
11 or, alternatively, in the proportion which the sum of the
12 direct premiums written for insurance upon property or risk
13 in this State by each ceding company from which reinsurance
14 is accepted bears to the sum of the total direct premiums
15 written by each such ceding company for the taxable year.
16 (c) Financial organizations.
17 (1) In general. Business income of a financial
18 organization shall be apportioned to this State by
19 multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of which
20 is its business income from sources within this State, and
21 the denominator of which is its business income from all
22 sources. For the purposes of this subsection, the business
23 income of a financial organization from sources within this
24 State is the sum of the amounts referred to in subparagraphs
25 (A) through (E) following, but excluding the adjusted income
26 of an international banking facility as determined in
27 paragraph (2):
28 (A) Fees, commissions or other compensation for
29 financial services rendered within this State;
30 (B) Gross profits from trading in stocks, bonds or
31 other securities managed within this State;
32 (C) Dividends, and interest from Illinois
33 customers, which are received within this State;
34 (D) Interest charged to customers at places of
-7- LRB9000853KDksam
1 business maintained within this State for carrying debit
2 balances of margin accounts, without deduction of any
3 costs incurred in carrying such accounts; and
4 (E) Any other gross income resulting from the
5 operation as a financial organization within this State.
6 In computing the amounts referred to in paragraphs (A)
7 through (E) of this subsection, any amount received by a
8 member of an affiliated group (determined under Section
9 1504(a) of the Internal Revenue Code but without
10 reference to whether any such corporation is an
11 "includible corporation" under Section 1504(b) of the
12 Internal Revenue Code) from another member of such group
13 shall be included only to the extent such amount exceeds
14 expenses of the recipient directly related thereto.
15 (2) International Banking Facility.
16 (A) Adjusted Income. The adjusted income of an
17 international banking facility is its income reduced by
18 the amount of the floor amount.
19 (B) Floor Amount. The floor amount shall be the
20 amount, if any, determined by multiplying the income of
21 the international banking facility by a fraction, not
22 greater than one, which is determined as follows:
23 (i) The numerator shall be:
24 The average aggregate, determined on a
25 quarterly basis, of the financial organization's
26 loans to banks in foreign countries, to foreign
27 domiciled borrowers (except where secured primarily
28 by real estate) and to foreign governments and other
29 foreign official institutions, as reported for its
30 branches, agencies and offices within the state on
31 its "Consolidated Report of Condition", Schedule A,
32 Lines 2.c., 5.b., and 7.a., which was filed with the
33 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and other
34 regulatory authorities, for the year 1980, minus
-8- LRB9000853KDksam
1 The average aggregate, determined on a
2 quarterly basis, of such loans (other than loans of
3 an international banking facility), as reported by
4 the financial institution for its branches, agencies
5 and offices within the state, on the corresponding
6 Schedule and lines of the Consolidated Report of
7 Condition for the current taxable year, provided,
8 however, that in no case shall the amount determined
9 in this clause (the subtrahend) exceed the amount
10 determined in the preceding clause (the minuend);
11 and
12 (ii) the denominator shall be the average
13 aggregate, determined on a quarterly basis, of the
14 international banking facility's loans to banks in
15 foreign countries, to foreign domiciled borrowers
16 (except where secured primarily by real estate) and
17 to foreign governments and other foreign official
18 institutions, which were recorded in its financial
19 accounts for the current taxable year.
20 (C) Change to Consolidated Report of Condition and
21 in Qualification. In the event the Consolidated Report
22 of Condition which is filed with the Federal Deposit
23 Insurance Corporation and other regulatory authorities is
24 altered so that the information required for determining
25 the floor amount is not found on Schedule A, lines 2.c.,
26 5.b. and 7.a., the financial institution shall notify the
27 Department and the Department may, by regulations or
28 otherwise, prescribe or authorize the use of an
29 alternative source for such information. The financial
30 institution shall also notify the Department should its
31 international banking facility fail to qualify as such,
32 in whole or in part, or should there be any amendment or
33 change to the Consolidated Report of Condition, as
34 originally filed, to the extent such amendment or change
-9- LRB9000853KDksam
1 alters the information used in determining the floor
2 amount.
3 (d) Transportation services. Business income derived
4 from furnishing transportation services shall be apportioned
5 to this State in accordance with paragraphs (1) and (2):
6 (1) Such business income (other than that derived
7 from transportation by pipeline) shall be apportioned to
8 this State by multiplying such income by a fraction, the
9 numerator of which is the revenue miles of the person in
10 this State, and the denominator of which is the revenue
11 miles of the person everywhere. For purposes of this
12 paragraph, a revenue mile is the transportation of 1
13 passenger or 1 net ton of freight the distance of 1 mile
14 for a consideration. Where a person is engaged in the
15 transportation of both passengers and freight, the
16 fraction above referred to shall be determined by means
17 of an average of the passenger revenue mile fraction and
18 the freight revenue mile fraction, weighted to reflect
19 the person's
20 (A) relative railway operating income from
21 total passenger and total freight service, as
22 reported to the Interstate Commerce Commission, in
23 the case of transportation by railroad, and
24 (B) relative gross receipts from passenger and
25 freight transportation, in case of transportation
26 other than by railroad.
27 (2) Such business income derived from
28 transportation by pipeline shall be apportioned to this
29 State by multiplying such income by a fraction, the
30 numerator of which is the revenue miles of the person in
31 this State, and the denominator of which is the revenue
32 miles of the person everywhere. For the purposes of this
33 paragraph, a revenue mile is the transportation by
34 pipeline of 1 barrel of oil, 1,000 cubic feet of gas, or
-10- LRB9000853KDksam
1 of any specified quantity of any other substance, the
2 distance of 1 mile for a consideration.
3 (e) Combined apportionment. Where 2 or more persons are
4 engaged in a unitary business as described in subsection
5 (a)(27) of Section 1501, a part of which is conducted in this
6 State by one or more members of the group, the business
7 income attributable to this State by any such member or
8 members shall be apportioned by means of the combined
9 apportionment method.
10 (f) Alternative allocation. If the allocation and
11 apportionment provisions of subsections (a) through (e) and
12 of subsection (h) do not fairly represent the extent of a
13 person's business activity in this State, the person may
14 petition for, or the Director may require, in respect of all
15 or any part of the person's business activity, if reasonable:
16 (1) Separate accounting;
17 (2) The exclusion of any one or more factors;
18 (3) The inclusion of one or more additional factors
19 which will fairly represent the person's business
20 activities in this State; or
21 (4) The employment of any other method to
22 effectuate an equitable allocation and apportionment of
23 the person's business income.
24 (g) Cross reference. For allocation of business income
25 by residents, see Section 301(a).
26 (h) Sales factor. For tax years ending on or after
27 December 31, 1997, persons other than residents who derive
28 business income from this State and one or more other states
29 shall apportion their business income to this State by
30 mutiplying the income by the sales factor.
31 (1) The sales factor is a fraction, the numerator
32 of which is the total sales of the person in this State
33 during the taxable year, and the denominator of which is
34 the total sales of the person everywhere during the
-11- LRB9000853KDksam
1 taxable year.
2 (2) Sales of tangible personal property are in this
3 State if the property is delivered or shipped to a
4 purchaser within this State regardless of the f.o.b.
5 point or other conditions of the sale.
6 (3) Sales, other than sales of tangible personal
7 property, are in this State if:
8 (A) the income producing activity is performed
9 in this State; or
10 (B) the income producing activity is performed
11 both within and without this State and a greater
12 proportion of the income-producing activity is
13 performed within this State than without this State,
14 based on performance costs.
15 (4) For taxable years ending on or after December
16 31, 1995, the following items of income shall not be
17 included in the numerator or denominator of the sales
18 factor; dividends; amounts included under Section 78 of
19 the Internal Revenue Code; and Subpart F income as
20 defined in Section 953 of the Internal Revenue Code. No
21 inference shall be drawn from the enactment of this
22 paragraph (4) in construing this Section for taxable
23 years ending before December 31, 1995. The provisions of
24 this amendatory Act of 1997 apply to tax years ending on
25 or after December 31, 1997.

9 or before the last date prescribed for payment.
10 (c) Amount of Required Installments.
11 (1) Amount.
12 (A) In General. Except as provided in

17 subparagraph (A), the term "required annual payment"
18 means the lesser of
19 (i) 90% of the tax shown on the return
20 for the taxable year, or if no return is filed,
21 90% of the tax for such year, or
22 (ii) 100% of the tax shown on the return
23 of the taxpayer for the preceding taxable year
24 if a return showing a liability for tax was
25 filed by the taxpayer for the preceding taxable
26 year and such preceding year was a taxable year
27 of 12 months.
28 (2) Lower Required Installment where Annualized
29 Income Installment is Less Than Amount Determined Under
30 Paragraph (1).
31 (A) In General. In the case of any required
32 installment if a taxpayer establishes that the
33 annualized income installment is less than the
34 amount determined under paragraph (1),
-13- LRB9000853KDksam
1 (i) the amount of such required
2 installment shall be the annualized income
3 installment, and
4 (ii) any reduction in a required
5 installment resulting from the application of
6 this subparagraph shall be recaptured by
7 increasing the amount of the next required
8 installment determined under paragraph (1) by
9 the amount of such reduction, and by increasing
10 subsequent required installments to the extent
11 that the reduction has not previously been
12 recaptured under this clause.
13 (B) Determination of Annualized Income
14 Installment. In the case of any required
15 installment, the annualized income installment is
16 the excess, if any, of
17 (i) an amount equal to the applicable
18 percentage of the tax for the taxable year

20 net income for months in the taxable year
21 ending before the due date for the installment,

23 (ii) the aggregate amount of any prior
24 required installments for the taxable year.

2 a taxable year of less than 12 months, by the
3 number of months in the taxable year, the net
4 income computed without regard to the standard
5 exemption for the months in the taxable year
6 ending before the month in which the
7 installment is required to be paid;
8 (ii) dividing the resulting amount by the
9 number of months in the taxable year ending
10 before the month in which such installment date
11 falls; and
12 (iii) deducting from such amount the
13 standard exemption allowable for the taxable
14 year, such standard exemption being determined
15 as of the last date prescribed for payment of
16 the installment.
17 (E) Annualized Net Income; Corporations. For
18 corporations, net income shall be placed on an
19 annualized basis by multiplying by 12 the taxable
20 income

22 year, in the case of the installment required
23 to be paid in the 4th month,
24 (ii) for the first 3 months or for the
25 first 5 months of the taxable year, in the case
26 of the installment required to be paid in the
27 6th month,
28 (iii) for the first 6 months or for the
29 first 8 months of the taxable year, in the case
30 of the installment required to be paid in the
31 9th month, and
32 (iv) for the first 9 months or for the
33 first 11 months of the taxable year, in the
34 case of the installment required to be paid in
-15- LRB9000853KDksam
1 the 12th month of the taxable year,
2 then dividing the resulting amount by the number of
3 months in the taxable year (3, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 11 as

6 preceding subsections, the penalty imposed by subsection (a)
7 shall not be imposed if the taxpayer was not required to file
8 an Illinois income tax return for the preceding taxable year,
9 or if the taxpayer has underpaid taxes solely because of the
10 increased rate in effect during the period from July 1, 1989
11 through December 1989, or, for individuals, if the taxpayer
12 had no tax liability for the preceding taxable year and such
13 year was a taxable year of 12 months. The penalty imposed by
14 subsection (a) shall also not be imposed on any underpayments
15 of estimated tax due before the effective date of this
16 amendatory Act of 1997 which underpayments are solely
17 attributable to the change in apportionment from subsection

31 compensation. For purposes of applying this Section in the
32 case of an individual, tax withheld under Article 7 for the
33 taxable year shall be deemed a payment of estimated tax, and
34 an equal part of such amount shall be deemed paid on each
-16- LRB9000853KDksam
1 installment date for such taxable year, unless the taxpayer
2 establishes the dates on which all amounts were actually
3 withheld, in which case the amounts so withheld shall be
4 deemed payments of estimated tax on the dates on which such
5 amounts were actually withheld.
6 (i) Short taxable year. The application of this Section
7 to taxable years of less than 12 months shall be in
8 accordance with regulations prescribed by the Department.
9 The changes in this Section made by Public Act 84-127

22 (27) Unitary business group. The term "unitary
23 business group" means a group of persons related through

25 with, dependent upon and contribute to each other. The

27 activity outside the United States is 80% or more of any
28 such member's total business activity; for purposes of
29 this paragraph and clause (a) (3) (B) (ii) of Section
30 304, business activity within the United States shall be
31 measured by means of the factors ordinarily applicable
32 under subsections (a), (b), (c), and (d), or (h) of
33 Section 304 except that, in the case of members
34 ordinarily required to apportion business income by means
-25- LRB9000853KDksam
1 of the 3 factor formula of property, payroll and sales
2 specified in subsection (a) of Section 304, or the
3 single-factor sales formula specified in subsection (h)
4 of Section 304, such members shall not use the sales
5 factor in the computation and the results of the property
6 and payroll factor computations of subsection (a) of
7 Section 304 shall be divided by 2 (by one if either the
8 property or payroll factor has a denominator of zero).
9 The computation required by the preceding sentence shall,
10 in each case, involve the division of the member's
11 property, payroll, or revenue miles in the United States,
12 insurance premiums on property or risk in the United
13 States, or financial organization business income from
14 sources within the United States, as the case may be, by
15 the respective worldwide figures for such items. Common
16 ownership in the case of corporations is the direct or
17 indirect control or ownership of more than 50% of the
18 outstanding voting stock of the persons carrying on
19 unitary business activity. Unitary business activity can
20 ordinarily be illustrated where the activities of the
21 members are: (1) in the same general line (such as
22 manufacturing, wholesaling, retailing of tangible
23 personal property, insurance, transportation or finance);
24 or (2) are steps in a vertically structured enterprise or
25 process (such as the steps involved in the production of
26 natural resources, which might include exploration,
27 mining, refining, and marketing); and, in either
28 instance, the members are functionally integrated through
29 the exercise of strong centralized management (where, for
30 example, authority over such matters as purchasing,
31 financing, tax compliance, product line, personnel,
32 marketing and capital investment is not left to each
33 member). In no event, however, will any unitary business
34 group include members which are ordinarily required to
-26- LRB9000853KDksam
1 apportion business income under different subsections of
2 Section 304 except that for tax years ending on or after
3 December 31, 1987 this prohibition shall not apply to a
4 unitary business group composed of one or more taxpayers
5 all of which apportion business income pursuant to
6 subsection (b) of Section 304, or all of which apportion
7 business income pursuant to subsection (d) of Section
8 304, and a holding company of such single-factor
9 taxpayers (see definition of "financial organization" for
10 rule regarding holding companies of financial
11 organizations). If a unitary business group would, but
12 for the preceding sentence, include members that are
13 ordinarily required to apportion business income under
14 different subsections of Section 304, then for each
15 subsection of Section 304 for which there are two or more
16 members, there shall be a separate unitary business group
17 composed of such members. For purposes of the preceding
18 two sentences, a member is "ordinarily required to
19 apportion business income" under a particular subsection
20 of Section 304 if it would be required to use the
21 apportionment method prescribed by such subsection except
22 for the fact that it derives business income solely from
23 Illinois. If the unitary business group members'
24 accounting periods differ, the common parent's accounting
25 period or, if there is no common parent, the accounting
26 period of the member that is expected to have, on a
27 recurring basis, the greatest Illinois income tax
28 liability must be used to determine whether to use the
29 apportionment method provided in subsection (a) or
30 subsection (h) of Section 304. The prohibition against
31 membership in a unitary business group for taxpayers
32 ordinarily required to apportion income under different
33 subsections of Section 304 does not apply to taxpayers
34 required to apportion income under subsection (a) and
-27- LRB9000853KDksam
1 subsection (h) of Section 304. The provisions of this
2 amendatory Act of 1997 apply to tax years ending on or
3 after December 31, 1997.
4 (28) Subchapter S corporation. The term
5 "Subchapter S corporation" means a corporation for which
6 there is in effect an election under Section 1362 of the
7 Internal Revenue Code, or for which there is a federal
8 election to opt out of the provisions of the Subchapter S
9 Revision Act of 1982 and have applied instead the prior
10 federal Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1, 1982.
11 (b) Other definitions.
12 (1) Words denoting number, gender, and so forth,
13 when used in this Act, where not otherwise distinctly
14 expressed or manifestly incompatible with the intent
15 thereof:
16 (A) Words importing the singular include and
17 apply to several persons, parties or things;

19 singular; and

26 assigns of such company or association", and in like
27 manner as if these last-named words, or words of similar
28 import, were expressed.
29 (3) Other terms. Any term used in any Section of
30 this Act with respect to the application of, or in
31 connection with, the provisions of any other Section of
32 this Act shall have the same meaning as in such other
33 Section.
