Those instances in which the related entity is primarily 449 engaged in managing, acquiring, or maintaining intangible 450 property or related-party financing and a primary purpose of the 451 transaction was the avoidance of Florida tax. 452 4. Those instances in which the taxpayer files with the 453 related entity or the related entity files with another related 454 entity an income tax return or report and the return or report 455 is due because of the imposition of a tax on or measured by 456 income or the income tax return or report results in the 457 elimination of the tax effects from transactions directly or 458 indirectly between the taxpayer and the related member. 459 (e) Adjustment to the taxable income of a related entity. 460 To the extent that a taxpayer is required to make an adjustment 461 under paragraph (b) or paragraph (c) for a specific related 462 entity transaction, the corresponding related entity must make a 463 corresponding subtraction to its taxable income if the income of 464 the related entity is subject to tax in this state. 465 (f) Adjustment of net operating loss carryover.—The amount 466 of a taxpayer’s net operating loss carryover from tax years 467 ending before December 31, 2011, to a tax year ending on or 468 after December 31, 2011, must be adjusted to account for the 469 addition of intangible expenses, interest expenses, and 470 management fees under this subsection. However, this calculation 471 may not increase the amount of a net operating loss carryover. 472 (g) Limitation on additions to income.—This subsection does 473 not require a taxpayer to add to its Florida taxable income more 474 than once any amount of interest expenses, intangible expenses, 475 or management fees that the taxpayer pays, accrues, or incurs to 476 a related entity. 477 (h) Limitations on subtractions to income.—This subsection 478 does not allow any item to be subtracted from adjusted federal 479 income more than once a subtraction for any item that is 480 excluded from income, or any item to be included in the adjusted 481 federal income of more than one taxpayer. 482 (i) Authority to make adjustments.—This subsection does not 483 limit or negate the authority of the executive director to make 484 adjustments under s. 220.131(2), s. 220.44, or s. 220.152. 485 (j) Required information for a return.—Each taxpayer shall 486 provide the following information to the department along with 487 its tax return regarding each related entity transaction: 488 1.
