7 Sec. 304. Business income of persons other than residents.
8 (a) In general. The business income of a person other than
9a resident shall be allocated to this State if such person's
10business income is derived solely from this State. If a person
11other than a resident derives business income from this State
12and one or more other states, then, for tax years ending on or
13before December 30, 1998, and except as otherwise provided by
14this Section, such person's business income shall be
15apportioned to this State by multiplying the income by a
16fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the property
17factor (if any), the payroll factor (if any) and 200% of the
18sales factor (if any), and the denominator of which is 4
19reduced by the number of factors other than the sales factor
20which have a denominator of zero and by an additional 2 if the
21sales factor has a denominator of zero. For tax years ending on
22or after December 31, 1998, and except as otherwise provided by
23this Section, persons other than residents who derive business

HB4051- 2 -LRB100 12850 HLH 26571 b
1income from this State and one or more other states shall
2compute their apportionment factor by weighting their
3property, payroll, and sales factors as provided in subsection
4(h) of this Section.
5 (1) Property factor.
6 (A) The property factor is a fraction, the numerator of
7 which is the average value of the person's real and
8 tangible personal property owned or rented and used in the
9 trade or business in this State during the taxable year and

13 year.
14 (B) Property owned by the person is valued at its
15 original cost. Property rented by the person is valued at 8
16 times the net annual rental rate. Net annual rental rate is
17 the annual rental rate paid by the person less any annual
18 rental rate received by the person from sub-rentals.
19 (C) The average value of property shall be determined
20 by averaging the values at the beginning and ending of the
21 taxable year but the Director may require the averaging of
22 monthly values during the taxable year if reasonably
23 required to reflect properly the average value of the
24 person's property.
25 (2) Payroll factor.
26 (A) The payroll factor is a fraction, the numerator of

HB4051- 3 -LRB100 12850 HLH 26571 b
1 which is the total amount paid in this State during the
2 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 entirely
7 within this State;
8 (ii) The individual's service is performed both
9 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 this
13 State and either the base of operations, or if there is
14 no base of operations, the place from which the service
15 is directed or controlled is within this State, or the
16 base of operations or the place from which the service
17 is directed or controlled is not in any state in which
18 some part of the service is performed, but the
19 individual's residence is in this State.
20 (iv) Compensation paid to nonresident professional
21 athletes.
22 (v) Compensation paid to individuals whose service
23 is performed both within and without this State, but is
24 not otherwise subject to the provisions of (i), (ii),

8 this State performing services for the team in any
9 manner during the taxable year bears to the total
10 number of duty days spent both within and without this
11 State during the taxable year.
12 (b) Travel days. Travel days that do not involve
13 either a game, practice, team meeting, or other similar
14 team event are not considered duty days spent in this

24 any manner, including days when such member of

3 (b) 50% of the receipts from access fees
4 attributable to interstate telecommunications
5 service if the interstate call either originates
6 or terminates in this State.
7 (c) 100% of the receipts from interstate end
8 user access line charges, if the customer's
9 service address is in this State. As used in this
10 subdivision, "interstate end user access line
11 charges" includes, but is not limited to, the
12 surcharge approved by the federal communications
13 commission and levied pursuant to 47 CFR 69.
14 (d) Gross receipts from sales of
15 telecommunication services or from ancillary
16 services for telecommunications services sold to
17 other telecommunication service providers for
18 resale shall be sourced to this State using the
19 apportionment concepts used for non-resale
20 receipts of telecommunications services if the
21 information is readily available to make that
22 determination. If the information is not readily
23 available, then the taxpayer may use any other
24 reasonable and consistent method.
25 (B-7) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
26 2008, receipts from the sale of broadcasting services are

HB4051- 22 -LRB100 12850 HLH 26571 b
1 in this State if the broadcasting services are received in
2 this State. For purposes of this paragraph (B-7), the
3 following terms have the following meanings:
4 "Advertising revenue" means consideration received
5 by the taxpayer in exchange for broadcasting services
6 or allowing the broadcasting of commercials or
7 announcements in connection with the broadcasting of
8 film or radio programming, from sponsorships of the
9 programming, or from product placements in the
10 programming.
11 "Audience factor" means the ratio that the
12 audience or subscribers located in this State of a
13 station, a network, or a cable system bears to the
14 total audience or total subscribers for that station,
15 network, or cable system. The audience factor for film
16 or radio programming shall be determined by reference
17 to the books and records of the taxpayer or by
18 reference to published rating statistics provided the
19 method used by the taxpayer is consistently used from
20 year to year for this purpose and fairly represents the
21 taxpayer's activity in this State.
22 "Broadcast" or "broadcasting" or "broadcasting
23 services" means the transmission or provision of film
24 or radio programming, whether through the public
25 airwaves, by cable, by direct or indirect satellite
26 transmission, or by any other means of communication,

HB4051- 23 -LRB100 12850 HLH 26571 b
1 either through a station, a network, or a cable system.
2 "Film" or "film programming" means the broadcast
3 on television of any and all performances, events, or
4 productions, including but not limited to news,
5 sporting events, plays, stories, or other literary,
6 commercial, educational, or artistic works, either
7 live or through the use of video tape, disc, or any
8 other type of format or medium. Each episode of a
9 series of films produced for television shall
10 constitute separate "film" notwithstanding that the
11 series relates to the same principal subject and is
12 produced during one or more tax periods.
13 "Radio" or "radio programming" means the broadcast
14 on radio of any and all performances, events, or
15 productions, including but not limited to news,
16 sporting events, plays, stories, or other literary,
17 commercial, educational, or artistic works, either
18 live or through the use of an audio tape, disc, or any
19 other format or medium. Each episode in a series of
20 radio programming produced for radio broadcast shall
21 constitute a separate "radio programming"
22 notwithstanding that the series relates to the same
23 principal subject and is produced during one or more
24 tax periods.
25 (i) In the case of advertising revenue from
26 broadcasting, the customer is the advertiser and

HB4051- 24 -LRB100 12850 HLH 26571 b
1 the service is received in this State if the
2 commercial domicile of the advertiser is in this
3 State.
4 (ii) In the case where film or radio
5 programming is broadcast by a station, a network,
6 or a cable system for a fee or other remuneration
7 received from the recipient of the broadcast, the
8 portion of the service that is received in this
9 State is measured by the portion of the recipients
10 of the broadcast located in this State.
11 Accordingly, the fee or other remuneration for
12 such service that is included in the Illinois
13 numerator of the sales factor is the total of those
14 fees or other remuneration received from
15 recipients in Illinois. For purposes of this
16 paragraph, a taxpayer may determine the location
17 of the recipients of its broadcast using the
18 address of the recipient shown in its contracts
19 with the recipient or using the billing address of
20 the recipient in the taxpayer's records.
21 (iii) In the case where film or radio
22 programming is broadcast by a station, a network,
23 or a cable system for a fee or other remuneration
24 from the person providing the programming, the
25 portion of the broadcast service that is received
26 by such station, network, or cable system in this

HB4051- 25 -LRB100 12850 HLH 26571 b
1 State is measured by the portion of recipients of
2 the broadcast located in this State. Accordingly,
3 the amount of revenue related to such an
4 arrangement that is included in the Illinois
5 numerator of the sales factor is the total fee or
6 other total remuneration from the person providing
7 the programming related to that broadcast
8 multiplied by the Illinois audience factor for
9 that broadcast.
10 (iv) In the case where film or radio
11 programming is provided by a taxpayer that is a
12 network or station to a customer for broadcast in
13 exchange for a fee or other remuneration from that
14 customer the broadcasting service is received at
15 the location of the office of the customer from
16 which the services were ordered in the regular
17 course of the customer's trade or business.
18 Accordingly, in such a case the revenue derived by
19 the taxpayer that is included in the taxpayer's
20 Illinois numerator of the sales factor is the
21 revenue from such customers who receive the
22 broadcasting service in Illinois.
23 (v) In the case where film or radio programming
24 is provided by a taxpayer that is not a network or
25 station to another person for broadcasting in
26 exchange for a fee or other remuneration from that

HB4051- 26 -LRB100 12850 HLH 26571 b
1 person, the broadcasting service is received at
2 the location of the office of the customer from
3 which the services were ordered in the regular
4 course of the customer's trade or business.
5 Accordingly, in such a case the revenue derived by
6 the taxpayer that is included in the taxpayer's
7 Illinois numerator of the sales factor is the
8 revenue from such customers who receive the
9 broadcasting service in Illinois.
10 (B-8) Gross receipts from winnings under the Illinois
11 Lottery Law from the assignment of a prize under Section
12 13.1 of the Illinois Lottery Law are received in this
13 State. This paragraph (B-8) applies only to taxable years
14 ending on or after December 31, 2013.
15 (C) For taxable years ending before December 31, 2008,
16 sales, other than sales governed by paragraphs (B), (B-1),
17 (B-2), and (B-8) are in this State if:
18 (i) The income-producing activity is performed in
19 this State; or
20 (ii) The income-producing activity is performed
21 both within and without this State and a greater
22 proportion of the income-producing activity is
23 performed within this State than without this State,
24 based on performance costs.
25 (C-5) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
26 2008, sales, other than sales governed by paragraphs (B),

HB4051- 27 -LRB100 12850 HLH 26571 b
1 (B-1), (B-2), (B-5), and (B-7), are in this State if any of
2 the following criteria are met:
3 (i) Sales from the sale or lease of real property
4 are in this State if the property is located in this
5 State.
6 (ii) Sales from the lease or rental of tangible
7 personal property are in this State if the property is
8 located in this State during the rental period. Sales
9 from the lease or rental of tangible personal property
10 that is characteristically moving property, including,
11 but not limited to, motor vehicles, rolling stock,
12 aircraft, vessels, or mobile equipment are in this
13 State to the extent that the property is used in this
14 State.
15 (iii) In the case of interest, net gains (but not
16 less than zero) and other items of income from
17 intangible personal property, the sale is in this State
18 if:
19 (a) in the case of a taxpayer who is a dealer
20 in the item of intangible personal property within
21 the meaning of Section 475 of the Internal Revenue
22 Code, the income or gain is received from a
23 customer in this State. For purposes of this
24 subparagraph, a customer is in this State if the
25 customer is an individual, trust or estate who is a
26 resident of this State and, for all other

HB4051- 28 -LRB100 12850 HLH 26571 b
1 customers, if the customer's commercial domicile
2 is in this State. Unless the dealer has actual
3 knowledge of the residence or commercial domicile
4 of a customer during a taxable year, the customer
5 shall be deemed to be a customer in this State if
6 the billing address of the customer, as shown in
7 the records of the dealer, is in this State; or
8 (b) in all other cases, if the
9 income-producing activity of the taxpayer is
10 performed in this State or, if the
11 income-producing activity of the taxpayer is
12 performed both within and without this State, if a
13 greater proportion of the income-producing
14 activity of the taxpayer is performed within this
15 State than in any other state, based on performance
16 costs.
17 (iv) Sales of services are in this State if the
18 services are received in this State. For the purposes
19 of this section, gross receipts from the performance of
20 services provided to a corporation, partnership, or
21 trust may only be attributed to a state where that
22 corporation, partnership, or trust has a fixed place of
23 business. If the state where the services are received
24 is not readily determinable or is a state where the
25 corporation, partnership, or trust receiving the
26 service does not have a fixed place of business, the

HB4051- 29 -LRB100 12850 HLH 26571 b
1 services shall be deemed to be received at the location
2 of the office of the customer from which the services
3 were ordered in the regular course of the customer's
4 trade or business. If the ordering office cannot be
5 determined, the services shall be deemed to be received
6 at the office of the customer to which the services are
7 billed. If the taxpayer is not taxable in the state in
8 which the services are received, the sale must be
9 excluded from both the numerator and the denominator of
10 the sales factor. The Department shall adopt rules
11 prescribing where specific types of service are
12 received, including, but not limited to, publishing,
13 and utility service.
14 (D) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
15 1995, the following items of income shall not be included
16 in the numerator or denominator of the sales factor:
17 dividends; amounts included under Section 78 of the
18 Internal Revenue Code; and Subpart F income as defined in
19 Section 952 of the Internal Revenue Code. No inference
20 shall be drawn from the enactment of this paragraph (D) in
21 construing this Section for taxable years ending before
22 December 31, 1995.
23 (E) Paragraphs (B-1) and (B-2) shall apply to tax years
24 ending on or after December 31, 1999, provided that a
25 taxpayer may elect to apply the provisions of these
26 paragraphs to prior tax years. Such election shall be made

HB4051- 30 -LRB100 12850 HLH 26571 b
1 in the form and manner prescribed by the Department, shall
2 be irrevocable, and shall apply to all tax years; provided
3 that, if a taxpayer's Illinois income tax liability for any
4 tax year, as assessed under Section 903 prior to January 1,
5 1999, was computed in a manner contrary to the provisions
6 of paragraphs (B-1) or (B-2), no refund shall be payable to
7 the taxpayer for that tax year to the extent such refund is
8 the result of applying the provisions of paragraph (B-1) or
9 (B-2) retroactively. In the case of a unitary business
10 group, such election shall apply to all members of such
11 group for every tax year such group is in existence, but
12 shall not apply to any taxpayer for any period during which
13 that taxpayer is not a member of such group.
14 (b) Insurance companies.
15 (1) In general. Except as otherwise provided by
16 paragraph (2), business income of an insurance company for
17 a taxable year shall be apportioned to this State by
18 multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
19 which is the direct premiums written for insurance upon
20 property or risk in this State, and the denominator of
21 which is the direct premiums written for insurance upon
22 property or risk everywhere. For purposes of this
23 subsection, the term "direct premiums written" means the
24 total amount of direct premiums written, assessments and
25 annuity considerations as reported for the taxable year on
26 the annual statement filed by the company with the Illinois

HB4051- 31 -LRB100 12850 HLH 26571 b
1 Director of Insurance in the form approved by the National
2 Convention of Insurance Commissioners or such other form as
3 may be prescribed in lieu thereof.
4 (2) Reinsurance. If the principal source of premiums
5 written by an insurance company consists of premiums for
6 reinsurance accepted by it, the business income of such
7 company shall be apportioned to this State by multiplying
8 such income by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
9 sum of (i) direct premiums written for insurance upon
10 property or risk in this State, plus (ii) premiums written
11 for reinsurance accepted in respect of property or risk in
12 this State, and the denominator of which is the sum of
13 (iii) direct premiums written for insurance upon property
14 or risk everywhere, plus (iv) premiums written for
15 reinsurance accepted in respect of property or risk
16 everywhere. For purposes of this paragraph, premiums
17 written for reinsurance accepted in respect of property or
18 risk in this State, whether or not otherwise determinable,
19 may, at the election of the company, be determined on the
20 basis of the proportion which premiums written for
21 reinsurance accepted from companies commercially domiciled
22 in Illinois bears to premiums written for reinsurance
23 accepted from all sources, or, alternatively, in the
24 proportion which the sum of the direct premiums written for
25 insurance upon property or risk in this State by each
26 ceding company from which reinsurance is accepted bears to

HB4051- 32 -LRB100 12850 HLH 26571 b
1 the sum of the total direct premiums written by each such
2 ceding company for the taxable year. The election made by a
3 company under this paragraph for its first taxable year
4 ending on or after December 31, 2011, shall be binding for
5 that company for that taxable year and for all subsequent
6 taxable years, and may be altered only with the written
7 permission of the Department, which shall not be
8 unreasonably withheld.
9 (c) Financial organizations.
10 (1) In general. For taxable years ending before
11 December 31, 2008, business income of a financial
12 organization shall be apportioned to this State by
13 multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
14 which is its business income from sources within this
15 State, and the denominator of which is its business income
16 from all sources. For the purposes of this subsection, the
17 business income of a financial organization from sources
18 within this State is the sum of the amounts referred to in
19 subparagraphs (A) through (E) following, but excluding the
20 adjusted income of an international banking facility as
21 determined in paragraph (2):
22 (A) Fees, commissions or other compensation for
23 financial services rendered within this State;
24 (B) Gross profits from trading in stocks, bonds or
25 other securities managed within this State;
26 (C) Dividends, and interest from Illinois

HB4051- 33 -LRB100 12850 HLH 26571 b
1 customers, which are received within this State;
2 (D) Interest charged to customers at places of
3 business maintained within this State for carrying
4 debit balances of margin accounts, without deduction
5 of any costs incurred in carrying such accounts; and
6 (E) Any other gross income resulting from the
7 operation as a financial organization within this
8 State. In computing the amounts referred to in
9 paragraphs (A) through (E) of this subsection, any
10 amount received by a member of an affiliated group
11 (determined under Section 1504(a) of the Internal
12 Revenue Code but without reference to whether any such
13 corporation is an "includible corporation" under
14 Section 1504(b) of the Internal Revenue Code) from
15 another member of such group shall be included only to
16 the extent such amount exceeds expenses of the
17 recipient directly related thereto.
18 (2) International Banking Facility. For taxable years
19 ending before December 31, 2008:
20 (A) Adjusted Income. The adjusted income of an
21 international banking facility is its income reduced
22 by the amount of the floor amount.
23 (B) Floor Amount. The floor amount shall be the
24 amount, if any, determined by multiplying the income of
25 the international banking facility by a fraction, not
26 greater than one, which is determined as follows:

HB4051- 34 -LRB100 12850 HLH 26571 b
1 (i) The numerator shall be:
2 The average aggregate, determined on a
3 quarterly basis, of the financial organization's
4 loans to banks in foreign countries, to foreign
5 domiciled borrowers (except where secured
6 primarily by real estate) and to foreign
7 governments and other foreign official
8 institutions, as reported for its branches,
9 agencies and offices within the state on its
10 "Consolidated Report of Condition", Schedule A,
11 Lines 2.c., 5.b., and 7.a., which was filed with
12 the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and
13 other regulatory authorities, for the year 1980,
14 minus
15 The average aggregate, determined on a
16 quarterly basis, of such loans (other than loans of
17 an international banking facility), as reported by
18 the financial institution for its branches,
19 agencies and offices within the state, on the
20 corresponding Schedule and lines of the
21 Consolidated Report of Condition for the current
22 taxable year, provided, however, that in no case
23 shall the amount determined in this clause (the
24 subtrahend) exceed the amount determined in the
25 preceding clause (the minuend); and
26 (ii) the denominator shall be the average

HB4051- 35 -LRB100 12850 HLH 26571 b
1 aggregate, determined on a quarterly basis, of the
2 international banking facility's loans to banks in
3 foreign countries, to foreign domiciled borrowers
4 (except where secured primarily by real estate)
5 and to foreign governments and other foreign
6 official institutions, which were recorded in its
7 financial accounts for the current taxable year.
8 (C) Change to Consolidated Report of Condition and
9 in Qualification. In the event the Consolidated Report
10 of Condition which is filed with the Federal Deposit
11 Insurance Corporation and other regulatory authorities
12 is altered so that the information required for
13 determining the floor amount is not found on Schedule
14 A, lines 2.c., 5.b. and 7.a., the financial institution
15 shall notify the Department and the Department may, by
16 regulations or otherwise, prescribe or authorize the
17 use of an alternative source for such information. The
18 financial institution shall also notify the Department
19 should its international banking facility fail to
20 qualify as such, in whole or in part, or should there
21 be any amendment or change to the Consolidated Report
22 of Condition, as originally filed, to the extent such
23 amendment or change alters the information used in
24 determining the floor amount.
25 (3) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
26 2008, the business income of a financial organization shall

HB4051- 36 -LRB100 12850 HLH 26571 b
1 be apportioned to this State by multiplying such income by
2 a fraction, the numerator of which is its gross receipts
3 from sources in this State or otherwise attributable to
4 this State's marketplace and the denominator of which is
5 its gross receipts everywhere during the taxable year.
6 "Gross receipts" for purposes of this subparagraph (3)
7 means gross income, including net taxable gain on
8 disposition of assets, including securities and money
9 market instruments, when derived from transactions and
10 activities in the regular course of the financial
11 organization's trade or business. The following examples
12 are illustrative:
13 (i) Receipts from the lease or rental of real or
14 tangible personal property are in this State if the
15 property is located in this State during the rental
16 period. Receipts from the lease or rental of tangible
17 personal property that is characteristically moving
18 property, including, but not limited to, motor
19 vehicles, rolling stock, aircraft, vessels, or mobile
20 equipment are from sources in this State to the extent
21 that the property is used in this State.

7 disposition, and other receipts from commercial loans
8 and installment obligations that are not secured by

10 this State if the proceeds of the loan are to be
11 applied in this State. If it cannot be determined where
12 the funds are to be applied, the income and receipts
13 are from sources in this State if the office of the
14 borrower from which the loan was negotiated in the
15 regular course of business is located in this State. If
16 the location of this office cannot be determined, the
17 income and receipts shall be excluded from the
18 numerator and denominator of the sales factor.
19 (v) Interest income, fees, gains on disposition,
20 service charges, merchant discount income, and other
21 receipts from credit card receivables are from sources
22 in this State if the card charges are regularly billed

9 included in the receipts factor as follows:
10 (1) Interest, dividends, net gains (but not
11 less than zero) and other income from investment
12 assets and activities from trading assets and
13 activities shall be included in the receipts
14 factor. Investment assets and activities and

16 limited to: investment securities; trading account
17 assets; federal funds; securities purchased and
18 sold under agreements to resell or repurchase;
19 options; futures contracts; forward contracts;
20 notional principal contracts such as swaps;
21 equities; and foreign currency transactions. With
22 respect to the investment and trading assets and
23 activities described in subparagraphs (A) and (B)
24 of this paragraph, the receipts factor shall
25 include the amounts described in such
26 subparagraphs.

HB4051- 39 -LRB100 12850 HLH 26571 b
1 (A) The receipts factor shall include the
2 amount by which interest from federal funds
3 sold and securities purchased under resale
4 agreements exceeds interest expense on federal
5 funds purchased and securities sold under
6 repurchase agreements.
7 (B) The receipts factor shall include the
8 amount by which interest, dividends, gains and
9 other income from trading assets and
10 activities, including but not limited to
11 assets and activities in the matched book, in
12 the arbitrage book, and foreign currency
13 transactions, exceed amounts paid in lieu of
14 interest, amounts paid in lieu of dividends,
15 and losses from such assets and activities.
16 (2) The numerator of the receipts factor
17 includes interest, dividends, net gains (but not
18 less than zero), and other income from investment
19 assets and activities and from trading assets and
20 activities described in paragraph (1) of this
21 subsection that are attributable to this State.
22 (A) The amount of interest, dividends, net
23 gains (but not less than zero), and other
24 income from investment assets and activities
25 in the investment account to be attributed to
26 this State and included in the numerator is

HB4051- 40 -LRB100 12850 HLH 26571 b
1 determined by multiplying all such income from
2 such assets and activities by a fraction, the
3 numerator of which is the gross income from
4 such assets and activities which are properly
5 assigned to a fixed place of business of the
6 taxpayer within this State and the denominator
7 of which is the gross income from all such
8 assets and activities.
9 (B) The amount of interest from federal
10 funds sold and purchased and from securities
11 purchased under resale agreements and
12 securities sold under repurchase agreements
13 attributable to this State and included in the
14 numerator is determined by multiplying the
15 amount described in subparagraph (A) of
16 paragraph (1) of this subsection from such
17 funds and such securities by a fraction, the
18 numerator of which is the gross income from
19 such funds and such securities which are
20 properly assigned to a fixed place of business
21 of the taxpayer within this State and the
22 denominator of which is the gross income from
23 all such funds and such securities.
24 (C) The amount of interest, dividends,
25 gains, and other income from trading assets and
26 activities, including but not limited to

HB4051- 41 -LRB100 12850 HLH 26571 b

2 the arbitrage book and foreign currency
3 transactions (but excluding amounts described
4 in subparagraphs (A) or (B) of this paragraph),
5 attributable to this State and included in the
6 numerator is determined by multiplying the
7 amount described in subparagraph (B) of
8 paragraph (1) of this subsection by a fraction,
9 the numerator of which is the gross income from
10 such trading assets and activities which are
11 properly assigned to a fixed place of business
12 of the taxpayer within this State and the
13 denominator of which is the gross income from
14 all such assets and activities.
15 (D) Properly assigned, for purposes of
16 this paragraph (2) of this subsection, means
17 the investment or trading asset or activity is
18 assigned to the fixed place of business with
19 which it has a preponderance of substantive
20 contacts. An investment or trading asset or
21 activity assigned by the taxpayer to a fixed
22 place of business without the State shall be
23 presumed to have been properly assigned if:
24 (i) the taxpayer has assigned, in the
25 regular course of its business, such asset
26 or activity on its records to a fixed place

HB4051- 42 -LRB100 12850 HLH 26571 b
1 of business consistent with federal or
2 state regulatory requirements;
3 (ii) such assignment on its records is
4 based upon substantive contacts of the
5 asset or activity to such fixed place of
6 business; and
7 (iii) the taxpayer uses such records
8 reflecting assignment of such assets or
9 activities for the filing of all state and
10 local tax returns for which an assignment
11 of such assets or activities to a fixed
12 place of business is required.
13 (E) The presumption of proper assignment
14 of an investment or trading asset or activity
15 provided in subparagraph (D) of paragraph (2)
16 of this subsection may be rebutted upon a
17 showing by the Department, supported by a
18 preponderance of the evidence, that the
19 preponderance of substantive contacts
20 regarding such asset or activity did not occur
21 at the fixed place of business to which it was
22 assigned on the taxpayer's records. If the
23 fixed place of business that has a
24 preponderance of substantive contacts cannot
25 be determined for an investment or trading
26 asset or activity to which the presumption in

HB4051- 43 -LRB100 12850 HLH 26571 b
1 subparagraph (D) of paragraph (2) of this
2 subsection does not apply or with respect to
3 which that presumption has been rebutted, that
4 asset or activity is properly assigned to the
5 state in which the taxpayer's commercial
6 domicile is located. For purposes of this
7 subparagraph (E), it shall be presumed,
8 subject to rebuttal, that taxpayer's
9 commercial domicile is in the state of the
10 United States or the District of Columbia to
11 which the greatest number of employees are
12 regularly connected with the management of the
13 investment or trading income or out of which
14 they are working, irrespective of where the
15 services of such employees are performed, as of
16 the last day of the taxable year.

18 (5) (Blank).
19 (c-1) Federally regulated exchanges. For taxable years
20ending on or after December 31, 2012, business income of a
21federally regulated exchange shall, at the option of the
22federally regulated exchange, be apportioned to this State by
23multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of which
24is its business income from sources within this State, and the
25denominator of which is its business income from all sources.
26For purposes of this subsection, the business income within

HB4051- 44 -LRB100 12850 HLH 26571 b
1this State of a federally regulated exchange is the sum of the
2following:
3 (1) Receipts attributable to transactions executed on
4 a physical trading floor if that physical trading floor is
5 located in this State.
6 (2) Receipts attributable to all other matching,
7 execution, or clearing transactions, including without
8 limitation receipts from the provision of matching,
9 execution, or clearing services to another entity,
10 multiplied by (i) for taxable years ending on or after
11 December 31, 2012 but before December 31, 2013, 63.77%; and
12 (ii) for taxable years ending on or after December 31,
13 2013, 27.54%.
14 (3) All other receipts not governed by subparagraphs
15 (1) or (2) of this subsection (c-1), to the extent the
16 receipts would be characterized as "sales in this State"
17 under item (3) of subsection (a) of this Section.
18 "Federally regulated exchange" means (i) a "registered
19entity" within the meaning of 7 U.S.C. Section 1a(40)(A), (B),
20or (C), (ii) an "exchange" or "clearing agency" within the
21meaning of 15 U.S.C. Section 78c (a)(1) or (23), (iii) any such
22entities regulated under any successor regulatory structure to
23the foregoing, and (iv) all taxpayers who are members of the
24same unitary business group as a federally regulated exchange,
25determined without regard to the prohibition in Section
261501(a)(27) of this Act against including in a unitary business

HB4051- 45 -LRB100 12850 HLH 26571 b
1group taxpayers who are ordinarily required to apportion
2business income under different subsections of this Section;
3provided that this subparagraph (iv) shall apply only if 50% or
4more of the business receipts of the unitary business group
5determined by application of this subparagraph (iv) for the
6taxable year are attributable to the matching, execution, or
7clearing of transactions conducted by an entity described in
8subparagraph (i), (ii), or (iii) of this paragraph.
9 In no event shall the Illinois apportionment percentage
10computed in accordance with this subsection (c-1) for any
11taxpayer for any tax year be less than the Illinois
12apportionment percentage computed under this subsection (c-1)
13for that taxpayer for the first full tax year ending on or
14after December 31, 2013 for which this subsection (c-1) applied
15to the taxpayer.
16 (d) Transportation services. For taxable years ending
17before December 31, 2008, business income derived from
18furnishing transportation services shall be apportioned to
19this State in accordance with paragraphs (1) and (2):
20 (1) Such business income (other than that derived from
21 transportation by pipeline) shall be apportioned to this
22 State by multiplying such income by a fraction, the
23 numerator of which is the revenue miles of the person in
24 this State, and the denominator of which is the revenue
25 miles of the person everywhere. For purposes of this
26 paragraph, a revenue mile is the transportation of 1

HB4051- 46 -LRB100 12850 HLH 26571 b
1 passenger or 1 net ton of freight the distance of 1 mile
2 for a consideration. Where a person is engaged in the
3 transportation of both passengers and freight, the
4 fraction above referred to shall be determined by means of
5 an average of the passenger revenue mile fraction and the
6 freight revenue mile fraction, weighted to reflect the
7 person's
8 (A) relative railway operating income from total
9 passenger and total freight service, as reported to the
10 Interstate Commerce Commission, in the case of
11 transportation by railroad, and
12 (B) relative gross receipts from passenger and
13 freight transportation, in case of transportation
14 other than by railroad.
15 (2) Such business income derived from transportation
16 by pipeline shall be apportioned to this State by
17 multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
18 which is the revenue miles of the person in this State, and
19 the denominator of which is the revenue miles of the person
20 everywhere. For the purposes of this paragraph, a revenue
21 mile is the transportation by pipeline of 1 barrel of oil,
22 1,000 cubic feet of gas, or of any specified quantity of
23 any other substance, the distance of 1 mile for a
24 consideration.
25 (3) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
26 2008, business income derived from providing

HB4051- 47 -LRB100 12850 HLH 26571 b
1 transportation services other than airline services shall
2 be apportioned to this State by using a fraction, (a) the
3 numerator of which shall be (i) all receipts from any
4 movement or shipment of people, goods, mail, oil, gas, or
5 any other substance (other than by airline) that both
6 originates and terminates in this State, plus (ii) that
7 portion of the person's gross receipts from movements or
8 shipments of people, goods, mail, oil, gas, or any other
9 substance (other than by airline) that originates in one
10 state or jurisdiction and terminates in another state or
11 jurisdiction, that is determined by the ratio that the
12 miles traveled in this State bears to total miles
13 everywhere and (b) the denominator of which shall be all
14 revenue derived from the movement or shipment of people,
15 goods, mail, oil, gas, or any other substance (other than
16 by airline). Where a taxpayer is engaged in the
17 transportation of both passengers and freight, the
18 fraction above referred to shall first be determined
19 separately for passenger miles and freight miles. Then an
20 average of the passenger miles fraction and the freight
21 miles fraction shall be weighted to reflect the taxpayer's:
22 (A) relative railway operating income from total
23 passenger and total freight service, as reported to the
24 Surface Transportation Board, in the case of
25 transportation by railroad; and
26 (B) relative gross receipts from passenger and

HB4051- 48 -LRB100 12850 HLH 26571 b
1 freight transportation, in case of transportation
2 other than by railroad.
3 (4) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
4 2008, business income derived from furnishing airline
5 transportation services shall be apportioned to this State
6 by multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
7 which is the revenue miles of the person in this State, and
8 the denominator of which is the revenue miles of the person
9 everywhere. For purposes of this paragraph, a revenue mile
10 is the transportation of one passenger or one net ton of
11 freight the distance of one mile for a consideration. If a
12 person is engaged in the transportation of both passengers
13 and freight, the fraction above referred to shall be
14 determined by means of an average of the passenger revenue
15 mile fraction and the freight revenue mile fraction,
16 weighted to reflect the person's relative gross receipts
17 from passenger and freight airline transportation.
18 (e) Combined apportionment. Where 2 or more persons are
19engaged in a unitary business as described in subsection
20(a)(27) of Section 1501, a part of which is conducted in this
21State by one or more members of the group, the business income
22attributable to this State by any such member or members shall
23be apportioned by means of the combined apportionment method.
24 (f) Alternative allocation. If the allocation and
25apportionment provisions of subsections (a) through (e) and of
26subsection (h) do not, for taxable years ending before December

HB4051- 49 -LRB100 12850 HLH 26571 b
131, 2008, fairly represent the extent of a person's business
2activity in this State, or, for taxable years ending on or
3after December 31, 2008, fairly represent the market for the
4person's goods, services, or other sources of business income,
5the person may petition for, or the Director may, without a
6petition, permit or require, in respect of all or any part of
7the person's business activity, if reasonable:
8 (1) Separate accounting;
9 (2) The exclusion of any one or more factors;
10 (3) The inclusion of one or more additional factors
11 which will fairly represent the person's business
12 activities or market in this State; or
13 (4) The employment of any other method to effectuate an
14 equitable allocation and apportionment of the person's
15 business income.
16 (g) Cross reference. For allocation of business income by
17residents, see Section 301(a).
18 (h) For tax years ending on or after December 31, 1998, the
19apportionment factor of persons who apportion their business
20income to this State under subsection (a) shall be equal to:
21 (1) for tax years ending on or after December 31, 1998
22 and before December 31, 1999, 16 2/3% of the property
23 factor plus 16 2/3% of the payroll factor plus 66 2/3% of
24 the sales factor;
25 (2) for tax years ending on or after December 31, 1999
26 and before December 31, 2000, 8 1/3% of the property factor

HB4051- 50 -LRB100 12850 HLH 26571 b
1 plus 8 1/3% of the payroll factor plus 83 1/3% of the sales
2 factor;
3 (3) for tax years ending on or after December 31, 2000,
4 the sales factor.
5If, in any tax year ending on or after December 31, 1998 and
6before December 31, 2000, the denominator of the payroll,
7property, or sales factor is zero, the apportionment factor
8computed in paragraph (1) or (2) of this subsection for that
9year shall be divided by an amount equal to 100% minus the
10percentage weight given to each factor whose denominator is
11equal to zero.
