4 allowed as a deduction in computing base income for
5 interest paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
6 indirectly, (i) for taxable years ending on or after

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

HB2486- 5 -LRB098 09354 HLH 39495 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

HB2486- 6 -LRB098 09354 HLH 39495 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

HB2486- 7 -LRB098 09354 HLH 39495 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"

HB2486- 8 -LRB098 09354 HLH 39495 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:

HB2486- 9 -LRB098 09354 HLH 39495 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

HB2486- 10 -LRB098 09354 HLH 39495 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

HB2486- 11 -LRB098 09354 HLH 39495 b
1 modification required under Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) or
2 Section 203(a)(2)(D-18) of this Act.

15 who would be a member of the same unitary business
16 group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
17 under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
18 unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
19 required to apportion business income under different
20 subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
21 required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
22 extent that dividends were included in base income of
23 the unitary group for the same taxable year and
24 received by the taxpayer or by a member of the
25 taxpayer's unitary business group (including amounts
26 included in gross income pursuant to Sections 951

12 with respect to such interest; or
13 (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
14 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
15 the taxpayer can establish, based on a
16 preponderance of the evidence, both of the
17 following:
18 (a) the person, during the same taxable
19 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
20 to a person that is not a related member, and
21 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
22 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
23 person did not have as a principal purpose the
24 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
25 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
26 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and

HB2486- 33 -LRB098 09354 HLH 39495 b
1 terms; or
2 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
3 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
4 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
5 agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
6 terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
7 not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
8 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
9 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
10 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
11 evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
12 if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
13 to the application or use of an alternative method
14 of apportionment under Section 304(f).
15 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
16 Director from making any other adjustment
17 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
18 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
19 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
20 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
21 and such regulations provide methods and standards
22 by which the Department will utilize its authority
23 under Section 404 of this Act;
24 (E-13) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
25 expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
26 computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or

HB2486- 34 -LRB098 09354 HLH 39495 b
1 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
2 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
3 foreign person who would be a member of the same
4 unitary business group but for the fact that the
5 foreign person's business activity outside the United
6 States is 80% or more of that person's total business
7 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
8 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
9 the same unitary business group but for the fact that
10 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
11 from being included in the unitary business group
12 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
13 business income under different subsections of Section
14 304. The addition modification required by this
15 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
16 dividends were included in base income of the unitary
17 group for the same taxable year and received by the
18 taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
19 business group (including amounts included in gross
20 income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the

22 income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
23 with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
24 the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
25 indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
26 sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same

HB2486- 35 -LRB098 09354 HLH 39495 b
1 dividends caused a reduction to the addition
2 modification required under Section 203(b)(2)(E-12) of
3 this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
4 "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,
5 losses, and costs for, or related to, the direct or
6 indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or management,
7 ownership, sale, exchange, or any other disposition of
8 intangible property; (2) losses incurred, directly or
9 indirectly, from factoring transactions or discounting
10 transactions; (3) royalty, patent, technical, and
11 copyright fees; (4) licensing fees; and (5) other
12 similar expenses and costs. For purposes of this
13 subparagraph, "intangible property" includes patents,
14 patent applications, trade names, trademarks, service
15 marks, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets, and
16 similar types of intangible assets.
17 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
18 (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
19 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
20 indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
21 subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
22 state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
23 to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
24 to such item; or
25 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
26 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or

HB2486- 36 -LRB098 09354 HLH 39495 b
1 indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
2 on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
3 following:
4 (a) the person during the same taxable
5 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
6 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
7 not a related member, and
8 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
9 intangible expense or cost between the
10 taxpayer and the person did not have as a
11 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
12 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
13 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
14 or
15 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
16 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
17 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
18 taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
19 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
20 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
21 writing to the application or use of an alternative
22 method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
23 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
24 Director from making any other adjustment
25 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
26 any tax year beginning after the effective date of

HB2486- 37 -LRB098 09354 HLH 39495 b
1 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
2 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
3 and such regulations provide methods and standards
4 by which the Department will utilize its authority
5 under Section 404 of this Act;
6 (E-14) For taxable years ending on or after
7 December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
8 insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
9 as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
10 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
11 a person who would be a member of the same unitary
12 business group but for the fact that the person is
13 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
14 included in the unitary business group because he or
15 she is ordinarily required to apportion business
16 income under different subsections of Section 304. The
17 addition modification required by this subparagraph
18 shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
19 included in base income of the unitary group for the
20 same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
21 member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
22 (including amounts included in gross income under
23 Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
24 and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
25 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
26 of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were

HB2486- 38 -LRB098 09354 HLH 39495 b
1 directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
2 preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
3 the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
4 modification required under Section 203(b)(2)(E-12) or
5 Section 203(b)(2)(E-13) of this Act;
6 (E-15) For taxable years beginning after December
7 31, 2008, any deduction for dividends paid by a captive
8 real estate investment trust that is allowed to a real
9 estate investment trust under Section 857(b)(2)(B) of
10 the Internal Revenue Code for dividends paid;
11 (E-16) An amount equal to the credit allowable to
12 the taxpayer under Section 218(a) of this Act,
13 determined without regard to Section 218(c) of this
14 Act;
15 and by deducting from the total so obtained the sum of the
16 following amounts:
17 (F) An amount equal to the amount of any tax
18 imposed by this Act which was refunded to the taxpayer
19 and included in such total for the taxable year;
20 (G) An amount equal to any amount included in such
21 total under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code;
22 (H) In the case of a regulated investment company,

8 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
9 terms; or
10 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
11 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
12 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
13 agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
14 terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
15 not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
16 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
17 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
18 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
19 evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
20 if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
21 to the application or use of an alternative method
22 of apportionment under Section 304(f).
23 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
24 Director from making any other adjustment
25 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
26 any tax year beginning after the effective date of

HB2486- 58 -LRB098 09354 HLH 39495 b
1 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
2 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
3 and such regulations provide methods and standards
4 by which the Department will utilize its authority
5 under Section 404 of this Act;
6 (G-13) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
7 expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
8 computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
9 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
10 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
11 foreign person who would be a member of the same
12 unitary business group but for the fact that the
13 foreign person's business activity outside the United
14 States is 80% or more of that person's total business
15 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
16 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
17 the same unitary business group but for the fact that
18 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
19 from being included in the unitary business group
20 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
21 business income under different subsections of Section
22 304. The addition modification required by this
23 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
24 dividends were included in base income of the unitary
25 group for the same taxable year and received by the
26 taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary

HB2486- 59 -LRB098 09354 HLH 39495 b

4 income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
5 with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
6 the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
7 indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
8 sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
9 dividends caused a reduction to the addition
10 modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) of
11 this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
12 "intangible expenses and costs" includes: (1)
13 expenses, losses, and costs for or related to the
14 direct or indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or
15 management, ownership, sale, exchange, or any other
16 disposition of intangible property; (2) losses
17 incurred, directly or indirectly, from factoring
18 transactions or discounting transactions; (3) royalty,
19 patent, technical, and copyright fees; (4) licensing
20 fees; and (5) other similar expenses and costs. For
21 purposes of this subparagraph, "intangible property"
22 includes patents, patent applications, trade names,
23 trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask works,
24 trade secrets, and similar types of intangible assets.
25 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
26 (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs

HB2486- 60 -LRB098 09354 HLH 39495 b
1 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
2 indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
3 subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
4 state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
5 to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
6 to such item; or
7 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
8 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
9 indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
10 on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
11 following:
12 (a) the person during the same taxable
13 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
14 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
15 not a related member, and
16 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
17 intangible expense or cost between the
18 taxpayer and the person did not have as a
19 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
20 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
21 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
22 or
23 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
24 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
25 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
26 taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing

HB2486- 61 -LRB098 09354 HLH 39495 b
1 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
2 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
3 writing to the application or use of an alternative
4 method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
5 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
6 Director from making any other adjustment
7 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
8 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
9 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
10 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
11 and such regulations provide methods and standards
12 by which the Department will utilize its authority
13 under Section 404 of this Act;
14 (G-14) For taxable years ending on or after
15 December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
16 insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
17 as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
18 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
19 a person who would be a member of the same unitary
20 business group but for the fact that the person is
21 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
22 included in the unitary business group because he or
23 she is ordinarily required to apportion business
24 income under different subsections of Section 304. The
25 addition modification required by this subparagraph
26 shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were

HB2486- 62 -LRB098 09354 HLH 39495 b
1 included in base income of the unitary group for the
2 same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
3 member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
4 (including amounts included in gross income under
5 Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
6 and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
7 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
8 of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
9 directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
10 preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
11 the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
12 modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) or
13 Section 203(c)(2)(G-13) of this Act;
14 (G-15) An amount equal to the credit allowable to

21 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
22 to a person that is not a related member, and
23 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
24 interest expense between the taxpayer and the

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

HB2486- 77 -LRB098 09354 HLH 39495 b
1 expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
2 computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
3 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
4 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
5 foreign person who would be a member of the same
6 unitary business group but for the fact that the
7 foreign person's business activity outside the United
8 States is 80% or more of that person's total business
9 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
10 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
11 the same unitary business group but for the fact that
12 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
13 from being included in the unitary business group
14 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
15 business income under different subsections of Section
16 304. The addition modification required by this
17 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
18 dividends were included in base income of the unitary
19 group for the same taxable year and received by the

25 with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
26 the intangible expenses and costs were directly or

HB2486- 78 -LRB098 09354 HLH 39495 b
1 indirectly paid, incurred or accrued. The preceding
2 sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
3 dividends caused a reduction to the addition
4 modification required under Section 203(d)(2)(D-7) of
5 this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
6 "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,
7 losses, and costs for, or related to, the direct or
8 indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or management,
9 ownership, sale, exchange, or any other disposition of
10 intangible property; (2) losses incurred, directly or
11 indirectly, from factoring transactions or discounting
12 transactions; (3) royalty, patent, technical, and
13 copyright fees; (4) licensing fees; and (5) other
14 similar expenses and costs. For purposes of this
15 subparagraph, "intangible property" includes patents,
16 patent applications, trade names, trademarks, service
17 marks, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets, and
18 similar types of intangible assets;
19 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
20 (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
21 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
22 indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
23 subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
24 state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
25 to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
26 to such item; or

HB2486- 79 -LRB098 09354 HLH 39495 b
1 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
2 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
3 indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
4 on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
5 following:
6 (a) the person during the same taxable
7 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
8 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
9 not a related member, and
10 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
11 intangible expense or cost between the
12 taxpayer and the person did not have as a
13 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
14 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
15 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
16 or
17 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
18 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
19 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
20 taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
21 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
22 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
23 writing to the application or use of an alternative
24 method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
25 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
26 Director from making any other adjustment

HB2486- 80 -LRB098 09354 HLH 39495 b
1 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
2 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
3 this amendment provided such adjustment is made

7 under Section 404 of this Act;
8 (D-9) For taxable years ending on or after December
9 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of insurance
10 premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a
11 deduction in computing base income, and that were paid,
12 accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to a
13 person who would be a member of the same unitary
14 business group but for the fact that the person is
15 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
16 included in the unitary business group because he or
17 she is ordinarily required to apportion business
18 income under different subsections of Section 304. The
19 addition modification required by this subparagraph
20 shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
21 included in base income of the unitary group for the
22 same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
23 member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
24 (including amounts included in gross income under
25 Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
26 and amounts included in gross income under Section 78

HB2486- 81 -LRB098 09354 HLH 39495 b

2 of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
3 directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The

23 of the United States; provided that, in the case of any
24 statute of this State that exempts income derived from
25 bonds or other obligations from the tax imposed under
26 this Act, the amount exempted shall be the interest net

12 required to apportion business income under different
13 subsections of Section 304, but not to exceed the

14 (2) and subsection (b) (3), for purposes of this Section
15 and Section 803(e), a taxpayer's gross income, adjusted
16 gross income, or taxable income for the taxable year shall
17 mean the amount of gross income, adjusted gross income or
18 taxable income properly reportable for federal income tax
19 purposes for the taxable year under the provisions of the
20 Internal Revenue Code. Taxable income may be less than
21 zero. However, for taxable years ending on or after
22 December 31, 1986, net operating loss carryforwards from
23 taxable years ending prior to December 31, 1986, may not
24 exceed the sum of federal taxable income for the taxable
25 year before net operating loss deduction, plus the excess

HB2486- 90 -LRB098 09354 HLH 39495 b
1 of addition modifications over subtraction modifications
2 for the taxable year. For taxable years ending prior to
3 December 31, 1986, taxable income may never be an amount in
4 excess of the net operating loss for the taxable year as
5 defined in subsections (c) and (d) of Section 172 of the

8 trust, or estate is less than zero and addition
9 modifications, other than those provided by subparagraph
10 (E) of paragraph (2) of subsection (b) for corporations or
11 subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subsection (c) for
12 trusts and estates, exceed subtraction modifications, an
13 addition modification must be made under those
14 subparagraphs for any other taxable year to which the
15 taxable income less than zero (net operating loss) is
16 applied under Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code or
17 under subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of this subsection
18 (e) applied in conjunction with Section 172 of the Internal
19 Revenue Code.
20 (2) Special rule. For purposes of paragraph (1) of this
21 subsection, the taxable income properly reportable for
22 federal income tax purposes shall mean:
23 (A) Certain life insurance companies. In the case
24 of a life insurance company subject to the tax imposed
25 by Section 801 of the Internal Revenue Code, life
26 insurance company taxable income, plus the amount of

HB2486- 91 -LRB098 09354 HLH 39495 b
1 distribution from pre-1984 policyholder surplus
2 accounts as calculated under Section 815a of the

13 real estate investment trust subject to the tax imposed
14 by Section 857 of the Internal Revenue Code, real
15 estate investment trust taxable income;
16 (E) Consolidated corporations. In the case of a
17 corporation which is a member of an affiliated group of
18 corporations filing a consolidated income tax return
19 for the taxable year for federal income tax purposes,
20 taxable income determined as if such corporation had
21 filed a separate return for federal income tax purposes
22 for the taxable year and each preceding taxable year
23 for which it was a member of an affiliated group. For
24 purposes of this subparagraph, the taxpayer's separate
25 taxable income shall be determined as if the election
26 provided by Section 243(b) (2) of the Internal Revenue

HB2486- 92 -LRB098 09354 HLH 39495 b
1 Code had been in effect for all such years;
2 (F) Cooperatives. In the case of a cooperative
3 corporation or association, the taxable income of such
4 organization determined in accordance with the
5 provisions of Section 1381 through 1388 of the Internal
6 Revenue Code, but without regard to the prohibition
7 against offsetting losses from patronage activities
8 against income from nonpatronage activities; except
9 that a cooperative corporation or association may make
10 an election to follow its federal income tax treatment
11 of patronage losses and nonpatronage losses. In the
12 event such election is made, such losses shall be
13 computed and carried over in a manner consistent with
14 subsection (a) of Section 207 of this Act and
15 apportioned by the apportionment factor reported by
16 the cooperative on its Illinois income tax return filed
17 for the taxable year in which the losses are incurred.
18 The election shall be effective for all taxable years
19 with original returns due on or after the date of the
20 election. In addition, the cooperative may file an
21 amended return or returns, as allowed under this Act,
22 to provide that the election shall be effective for
23 losses incurred or carried forward for taxable years
24 occurring prior to the date of the election. Once made,
25 the election may only be revoked upon approval of the
26 Director. The Department shall adopt rules setting

HB2486- 93 -LRB098 09354 HLH 39495 b
1 forth requirements for documenting the elections and
2 any resulting Illinois net loss and the standards to be
3 used by the Director in evaluating requests to revoke
4 elections. Public Act 96-932 is declaratory of
5 existing law;
6 (G) Subchapter S corporations. In the case of: (i)
7 a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
8 an election for the taxable year under Section 1362 of
9 the Internal Revenue Code, the taxable income of such
10 corporation determined in accordance with Section
11 1363(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, except that
12 taxable income shall take into account those items
13 which are required by Section 1363(b)(1) of the
14 Internal Revenue Code to be separately stated; and (ii)
15 a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
16 a federal election to opt out of the provisions of the
17 Subchapter S Revision Act of 1982 and have applied
18 instead the prior federal Subchapter S rules as in
19 effect on July 1, 1982, the taxable income of such
20 corporation determined in accordance with the federal
21 Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1, 1982; and
22 (H) Partnerships. In the case of a partnership,
23 taxable income determined in accordance with Section
24 703 of the Internal Revenue Code, except that taxable
25 income shall take into account those items which are
26 required by Section 703(a)(1) to be separately stated

HB2486- 94 -LRB098 09354 HLH 39495 b
1 but which would be taken into account by an individual
2 in calculating his taxable income.
3 (3) Recapture of business expenses on disposition of
4 asset or business. Notwithstanding any other law to the
5 contrary, if in prior years income from an asset or
6 business has been classified as business income and in a
7 later year is demonstrated to be non-business income, then
8 all expenses, without limitation, deducted in such later
9 year and in the 2 immediately preceding taxable years
10 related to that asset or business that generated the
11 non-business income shall be added back and recaptured as
12 business income in the year of the disposition of the asset
13 or business. Such amount shall be apportioned to Illinois
14 using the greater of the apportionment fraction computed
15 for the business under Section 304 of this Act for the
16 taxable year or the average of the apportionment fractions
17 computed for the business under Section 304 of this Act for
18 the taxable year and for the 2 immediately preceding
19 taxable years.
20 (f) Valuation limitation amount.
21 (1) In general. The valuation limitation amount
22 referred to in subsections (a) (2) (G), (c) (2) (I) and
23 (d)(2) (E) is an amount equal to:
24 (A) The sum of the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
25 amounts (to the extent consisting of gain reportable

HB2486- 95 -LRB098 09354 HLH 39495 b
1 under the provisions of Section 1245 or 1250 of the
2 Internal Revenue Code) for all property in respect of
3 which such gain was reported for the taxable year; plus
4 (B) The lesser of (i) the sum of the pre-August 1,
5 1969 appreciation amounts (to the extent consisting of
