fact that foreign person's business activity outside
the United States is 80% or more of the foreign
person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
who would be a member of the same unitary business
group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily

HB3865 - 10 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b
required to apportion business income under different
subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
extent that dividends were included in base income of
the unitary group for the same taxable year and
received by the taxpayer or by a member of the
taxpayer's unitary business group (including amounts
included in gross income under Sections 951 through 964
of the Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in
gross income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue
Code) with respect to the stock of the same person to

This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
(i) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person who
is subject in a foreign country or state, other
than a state which requires mandatory unitary
reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
with respect to such interest; or
(ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
the taxpayer can establish, based on a
preponderance of the evidence, both of the
following:
(a) the person, during the same taxable
year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest

HB3865 - 11 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b
to a person that is not a related member, and
(b) the transaction giving rise to the
interest expense between the taxpayer and the
person did not have as a principal purpose the
avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
pursuant to a contract or agreement that
reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
terms; or
(iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
(iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
to the application or use of an alternative method
of apportionment under Section 304(f).
Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
Director from making any other adjustment
otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
any tax year beginning after the effective date of
this amendment provided such adjustment is made

HB3865 - 12 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b
pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
and such regulations provide methods and standards
by which the Department will utilize its authority
under Section 404 of this Act;
(D-18) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
foreign person who would be a member of the same
unitary business group but for the fact that the
foreign person's business activity outside the United
States is 80% or more of that person's total business
activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
the same unitary business group but for the fact that
the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
from being included in the unitary business group
because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
business income under different subsections of Section
304. The addition modification required by this
subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
dividends were included in base income of the unitary
group for the same taxable year and received by the
taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
business group (including amounts included in gross

HB3865 - 13 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b
income under Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal
Revenue Code and amounts included in gross income under
Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect
to the stock of the same person to whom the intangible
expenses and costs were directly or indirectly paid,
incurred, or accrued. The preceding sentence does not
apply to the extent that the same dividends caused a
reduction to the addition modification required under
Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) of this Act. As used in this
subparagraph, the term "intangible expenses and costs"
includes (1) expenses, losses, and costs for, or
related to, the direct or indirect acquisition, use,
maintenance or management, ownership, sale, exchange,
or any other disposition of intangible property; (2)
losses incurred, directly or indirectly, from
factoring transactions or discounting transactions;
(3) royalty, patent, technical, and copyright fees;
(4) licensing fees; and (5) other similar expenses and
costs. For purposes of this subparagraph, "intangible
property" includes patents, patent applications, trade
names, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask
works, trade secrets, and similar types of intangible
assets.
This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
(i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or

HB3865 - 14 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b
indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
to such item; or
(ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
following:
(a) the person during the same taxable
year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
intangible expense or cost to a person that is
not a related member, and
(b) the transaction giving rise to the
intangible expense or cost between the
taxpayer and the person did not have as a
principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
or
(iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;

HB3865 - 15 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b
or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
writing to the application or use of an alternative
method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
Director from making any other adjustment
otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
any tax year beginning after the effective date of
this amendment provided such adjustment is made
pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
and such regulations provide methods and standards
by which the Department will utilize its authority
under Section 404 of this Act;
(D-19) For taxable years ending on or after
December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
a person who would be a member of the same unitary
business group but for the fact that the person is
prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
included in the unitary business group because he or
she is ordinarily required to apportion business
income under different subsections of Section 304. The
addition modification required by this subparagraph
shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
included in base income of the unitary group for the

HB3865 - 16 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b
same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
(including amounts included in gross income under
Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
modification required under Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) or
Section 203(a)(2)(D-18) of this Act.
(D-20) For taxable years beginning on or after
January 1, 2002 and ending on or before December 31,
2006, in the case of a distribution from a qualified
tuition program under Section 529 of the Internal
Revenue Code, other than (i) a distribution from a

the amount excluded from gross income under Section
529(c)(3)(B). For taxable years beginning on or after
January 1, 2007, in the case of a distribution from a
qualified tuition program under Section 529 of the

HB3865 - 17 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b
of the State Treasurer Act, (ii) a distribution from
the Illinois Prepaid Tuition Trust Fund, or (iii) a
distribution from a qualified tuition program under
Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code that (I)
adopts and determines that its offering materials
comply with the College Savings Plans Network's
disclosure principles and (II) has made reasonable
efforts to inform in-state residents of the existence
of in-state qualified tuition programs by informing
Illinois residents directly and, where applicable, to
inform financial intermediaries distributing the
program to inform in-state residents of the existence
of in-state qualified tuition programs at least
annually, an amount equal to the amount excluded from
gross income under Section 529(c)(3)(B).
For the purposes of this subparagraph (D-20), a
qualified tuition program has made reasonable efforts
if it makes disclosures (which may use the term
"in-state program" or "in-state plan" and need not
specifically refer to Illinois or its qualified
programs by name) (i) directly to prospective
participants in its offering materials or makes a
public disclosure, such as a website posting; and (ii)
where applicable, to intermediaries selling the
out-of-state program in the same manner that the
out-of-state program distributes its offering

HB3865 - 18 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b
materials;
(D-21) For taxable years beginning on or after

person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
who would be a member of the same unitary business
group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
required to apportion business income under different
subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
extent that dividends were included in base income of
the unitary group for the same taxable year and
received by the taxpayer or by a member of the
taxpayer's unitary business group (including amounts
included in gross income pursuant to Sections 951
through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code and amounts
included in gross income under Section 78 of the

same person to whom the interest was paid, accrued, or

This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
(i) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person who
is subject in a foreign country or state, other
than a state which requires mandatory unitary

with respect to such interest; or

HB3865 - 36 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b
(ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or

the taxpayer can establish, based on a
preponderance of the evidence, both of the
following:
(a) the person, during the same taxable
year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
to a person that is not a related member, and
(b) the transaction giving rise to the
interest expense between the taxpayer and the
person did not have as a principal purpose the
avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
pursuant to a contract or agreement that
reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
terms; or
(iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
(iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing

HB3865 - 37 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b
to the application or use of an alternative method
of apportionment under Section 304(f).
Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
Director from making any other adjustment
otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
any tax year beginning after the effective date of

pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
and such regulations provide methods and standards
by which the Department will utilize its authority
under Section 404 of this Act;

expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
foreign person who would be a member of the same
unitary business group but for the fact that the
foreign person's business activity outside the United
States is 80% or more of that person's total business
activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
the same unitary business group but for the fact that
the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
from being included in the unitary business group
because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion

HB3865 - 38 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b
business income under different subsections of Section
304. The addition modification required by this
subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
dividends were included in base income of the unitary
group for the same taxable year and received by the
taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
business group (including amounts included in gross
income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the
Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross
income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
dividends caused a reduction to the addition
modification required under Section 203(b)(2)(E-12) of
this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
"intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,
losses, and costs for, or related to, the direct or
indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or management,
ownership, sale, exchange, or any other disposition of
intangible property; (2) losses incurred, directly or
indirectly, from factoring transactions or discounting
transactions; (3) royalty, patent, technical, and
copyright fees; (4) licensing fees; and (5) other
similar expenses and costs. For purposes of this

HB3865 - 39 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b
subparagraph, "intangible property" includes patents,
patent applications, trade names, trademarks, service
marks, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets, and
similar types of intangible assets.
This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
(i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
to such item; or
(ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
following:
(a) the person during the same taxable
year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
intangible expense or cost to a person that is
not a related member, and
(b) the transaction giving rise to the
intangible expense or cost between the
taxpayer and the person did not have as a
principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract

HB3865 - 40 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b
or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
or
(iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
writing to the application or use of an alternative
method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
Director from making any other adjustment
otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
any tax year beginning after the effective date of
this amendment provided such adjustment is made
pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
and such regulations provide methods and standards
by which the Department will utilize its authority
under Section 404 of this Act;
(E-14) For taxable years ending on or after
December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
a person who would be a member of the same unitary
business group but for the fact that the person is

HB3865 - 41 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b
prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
included in the unitary business group because he or
she is ordinarily required to apportion business
income under different subsections of Section 304. The
addition modification required by this subparagraph
shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
included in base income of the unitary group for the
same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
(including amounts included in gross income under
Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
modification required under Section 203(b)(2)(E-12) or
Section 203(b)(2)(E-13) of this Act;
(E-15) For taxable years beginning after December
31, 2008, any deduction for dividends paid by a captive

and by deducting from the total so obtained the sum of the
following amounts:

HB3865 - 42 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b

interest expense by Section 291(a)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code, as now or hereafter amended, and all
amounts of expenses allocable to interest and
disallowed as deductions by Section 265(a)(1) of the
Internal Revenue Code, as now or hereafter amended; and
(ii) for taxable years ending on or after August 13,
1999, Sections 171(a)(2), 265, 280C, 291(a)(3), and
832(b)(5)(B)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code; the
provisions of this subparagraph are exempt from the
provisions of Section 250;
(J) An amount equal to all amounts included in such
total which are exempt from taxation by this State

HB3865 - 43 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b

reason of the Constitution, treaties or statutes of the
United States; provided that, in the case of any
statute of this State that exempts income derived from
bonds or other obligations from the tax imposed under
this Act, the amount exempted shall be the interest net
of bond premium amortization;
(K) An amount equal to those dividends included in
such total which were paid by a corporation which
conducts business operations in an Enterprise Zone or
zones created under the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act or
a River Edge Redevelopment Zone or zones created under
the River Edge Redevelopment Zone Act and conducts
substantially all of its operations in an Enterprise
Zone or zones or a River Edge Redevelopment Zone or
zones. This subparagraph (K) is exempt from the
provisions of Section 250;
(L) An amount equal to those dividends included in
such total that were paid by a corporation that
conducts business operations in a federally designated
Foreign Trade Zone or Sub-Zone and that is designated a
High Impact Business located in Illinois; provided
that dividends eligible for the deduction provided in
subparagraph (K) of paragraph 2 of this subsection
shall not be eligible for the deduction provided under
this subparagraph (L);

HB3865 - 44 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b
(M) For any taxpayer that is a financial
organization within the meaning of Section 304(c) of
this Act, an amount included in such total as interest
income from a loan or loans made by such taxpayer to a
borrower, to the extent that such a loan is secured by
property which is eligible for the Enterprise Zone
Investment Credit or the River Edge Redevelopment Zone
Investment Credit. To determine the portion of a loan
or loans that is secured by property eligible for a
Section 201(f) investment credit to the borrower, the
entire principal amount of the loan or loans between
the taxpayer and the borrower should be divided into
the basis of the Section 201(f) investment credit
property which secures the loan or loans, using for
this purpose the original basis of such property on the
date that it was placed in service in the Enterprise
Zone or the River Edge Redevelopment Zone. The
subtraction modification available to taxpayer in any

through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code and amounts

This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
(i) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person who
is subject in a foreign country or state, other
than a state which requires mandatory unitary
reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
with respect to such interest; or

(b) the transaction giving rise to the

HB3865 - 59 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b
interest expense between the taxpayer and the
person did not have as a principal purpose the
avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
pursuant to a contract or agreement that
reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
terms; or
(iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
(iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing

Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
Director from making any other adjustment
otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for

(G-13) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable

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

HB3865 - 61 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b
income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
dividends caused a reduction to the addition
modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) of
this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
"intangible expenses and costs" includes: (1)
expenses, losses, and costs for or related to the

disposition of intangible property; (2) losses
incurred, directly or indirectly, from factoring

trade secrets, and similar types of intangible assets.
This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
(i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
subject in a foreign country or state, other than a

HB3865 - 62 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b
state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
to such item; or
(ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
following:
(a) the person during the same taxable
year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
intangible expense or cost to a person that is
not a related member, and
(b) the transaction giving rise to the
intangible expense or cost between the
taxpayer and the person did not have as a
principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
or
(iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
writing to the application or use of an alternative

HB3865 - 63 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b
method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
Director from making any other adjustment
otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
any tax year beginning after the effective date of
this amendment provided such adjustment is made
pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
and such regulations provide methods and standards
by which the Department will utilize its authority
under Section 404 of this Act;
(G-14) For taxable years ending on or after
December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
a person who would be a member of the same unitary
business group but for the fact that the person is
prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
included in the unitary business group because he or
she is ordinarily required to apportion business
income under different subsections of Section 304. The
addition modification required by this subparagraph
shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
included in base income of the unitary group for the
same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
member of the taxpayer's unitary business group

HB3865 - 64 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b
(including amounts included in gross income under
Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) or
Section 203(c)(2)(G-13) of this Act.

exempted shall be the interest net of bond premium
amortization;

to a person that is not a related member, and
(b) the transaction giving rise to the
interest expense between the taxpayer and the
person did not have as a principal purpose the
avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
pursuant to a contract or agreement that
reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
terms; or
(iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
(iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or

States is 80% or more of that person's total business
activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of

the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
from being included in the unitary business group

HB3865 - 78 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b

business income under different subsections of Section

income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)

indirectly paid, incurred or accrued. The preceding
sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
dividends caused a reduction to the addition
modification required under Section 203(d)(2)(D-7) of
this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
"intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,
losses, and costs for, or related to, the direct or

marks, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets, and

to such item; or
(ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
following:
(a) the person during the same taxable
year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
intangible expense or cost to a person that is
not a related member, and
(b) the transaction giving rise to the
intangible expense or cost between the
taxpayer and the person did not have as a
principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois

HB3865 - 80 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b
income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
or
(iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
writing to the application or use of an alternative
method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
Director from making any other adjustment
otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
any tax year beginning after the effective date of
this amendment provided such adjustment is made
pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
and such regulations provide methods and standards
by which the Department will utilize its authority
under Section 404 of this Act;

31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of insurance
premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a
deduction in computing base income, and that were paid,
accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to a
person who would be a member of the same unitary

HB3865 - 81 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b
business group but for the fact that the person is
prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
included in the unitary business group because he or
she is ordinarily required to apportion business
income under different subsections of Section 304. The
addition modification required by this subparagraph
shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
included in base income of the unitary group for the
same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
(including amounts included in gross income under
Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
modification required under Section 203(d)(2)(D-7) or
Section 203(d)(2)(D-8) of this Act.

(2) Special rule. For purposes of paragraph (1) of this
subsection, the taxable income properly reportable for
federal income tax purposes shall mean:
(A) Certain life insurance companies. In the case
of a life insurance company subject to the tax imposed
by Section 801 of the Internal Revenue Code, life
insurance company taxable income, plus the amount of
distribution from pre-1984 policyholder surplus
accounts as calculated under Section 815a of the
Internal Revenue Code;
(B) Certain other insurance companies. In the case
of mutual insurance companies subject to the tax
imposed by Section 831 of the Internal Revenue Code,
insurance company taxable income;
(C) Regulated investment companies. In the case of
a regulated investment company subject to the tax
imposed by Section 852 of the Internal Revenue Code,
investment company taxable income;
(D) Real estate investment trusts. In the case of a

HB3865 - 91 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b
real estate investment trust subject to the tax imposed
by Section 857 of the Internal Revenue Code, real
estate investment trust taxable income;
(E) Consolidated corporations. In the case of a
corporation which is a member of an affiliated group of
corporations filing a consolidated income tax return
for the taxable year for federal income tax purposes,
taxable income determined as if such corporation had
filed a separate return for federal income tax purposes
for the taxable year and each preceding taxable year
for which it was a member of an affiliated group. For
purposes of this subparagraph, the taxpayer's separate
taxable income shall be determined as if the election
provided by Section 243(b) (2) of the Internal Revenue
Code had been in effect for all such years;
(F) Cooperatives. In the case of a cooperative
corporation or association, the taxable income of such
organization determined in accordance with the
provisions of Section 1381 through 1388 of the Internal
Revenue Code;
(G) Subchapter S corporations. In the case of: (i)
a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
an election for the taxable year under Section 1362 of
the Internal Revenue Code, the taxable income of such
corporation determined in accordance with Section
1363(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, except that

HB3865 - 92 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b
taxable income shall take into account those items
which are required by Section 1363(b)(1) of the
Internal Revenue Code to be separately stated; and (ii)
a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
a federal election to opt out of the provisions of the
Subchapter S Revision Act of 1982 and have applied
instead the prior federal Subchapter S rules as in
effect on July 1, 1982, the taxable income of such
corporation determined in accordance with the federal
Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1, 1982; and
(H) Partnerships. In the case of a partnership,
taxable income determined in accordance with Section
703 of the Internal Revenue Code, except that taxable
income shall take into account those items which are
required by Section 703(a)(1) to be separately stated
but which would be taken into account by an individual
in calculating his taxable income.
(3) Recapture of business expenses on disposition of
asset or business. Notwithstanding any other law to the
contrary, if in prior years income from an asset or
business has been classified as business income and in a
later year is demonstrated to be non-business income, then
all expenses, without limitation, deducted in such later
year and in the 2 immediately preceding taxable years
related to that asset or business that generated the
non-business income shall be added back and recaptured as

HB3865 - 93 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b
business income in the year of the disposition of the asset
or business. Such amount shall be apportioned to Illinois
using the greater of the apportionment fraction computed
for the business under Section 304 of this Act for the
taxable year or the average of the apportionment fractions
computed for the business under Section 304 of this Act for
the taxable year and for the 2 immediately preceding
taxable years.
(f) Valuation limitation amount.
(1) In general. The valuation limitation amount
referred to in subsections (a) (2) (G), (c) (2) (I) and
(d)(2) (E) is an amount equal to:
(A) The sum of the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
amounts (to the extent consisting of gain reportable
under the provisions of Section 1245 or 1250 of the
Internal Revenue Code) for all property in respect of
which such gain was reported for the taxable year; plus
(B) The lesser of (i) the sum of the pre-August 1,
1969 appreciation amounts (to the extent consisting of
capital gain) for all property in respect of which such
gain was reported for federal income tax purposes for
the taxable year, or (ii) the net capital gain for the
taxable year, reduced in either case by any amount of
such gain included in the amount determined under
subsection (a) (2) (F) or (c) (2) (H).

HB3865 - 94 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b
(2) Pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount.
(A) If the fair market value of property referred
to in paragraph (1) was readily ascertainable on August
1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount for
such property is the lesser of (i) the excess of such
fair market value over the taxpayer's basis (for
determining gain) for such property on that date
(determined under the Internal Revenue Code as in
effect on that date), or (ii) the total gain realized
and reportable for federal income tax purposes in
respect of the sale, exchange or other disposition of
such property.
(B) If the fair market value of property referred
to in paragraph (1) was not readily ascertainable on
August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
amount for such property is that amount which bears the
same ratio to the total gain reported in respect of the
property for federal income tax purposes for the
taxable year, as the number of full calendar months in
that part of the taxpayer's holding period for the
property ending July 31, 1969 bears to the number of
full calendar months in the taxpayer's entire holding
period for the property.
(C) The Department shall prescribe such
regulations as may be necessary to carry out the
purposes of this paragraph.

HB3865 - 95 - LRB096 09815 DRJ 19978 b
(g) Double deductions. Unless specifically provided
otherwise, nothing in this Section shall permit the same item
to be deducted more than once.
(h) Legislative intention. Except as expressly provided by
this Section there shall be no modifications or limitations on
the amounts of income, gain, loss or deduction taken into
account in determining gross income, adjusted gross income or
taxable income for federal income tax purposes for the taxable
year, or in the amount of such items entering into the
computation of base income and net income under this Act for
such taxable year, whether in respect of property values as of
August 1, 1969 or otherwise.
