To repeal sections 143.071 and 143.221, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof four new sections relating to the taxation of business income.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Sections 143.071 and 143.221, RSMo, are repealed and four new sections enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as sections 143.013, 143.071, 143.221, and 148.720, to read as follows:
143.013. 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "Broad-Based Tax Relief Act of 2014".
2. (1) As used in this section, "business income" means income greater than zero arising from transactions and activity in the regular course of the taxpayer's trade or business and includes income from tangible property if the acquisition, management, and disposition of the property constitute integral parts of the taxpayer's regular trade or business operations. "Business income" shall not include "compensation" as such term is defined under subsection 1 of article IV of section 32.200.
(2) As used in this section, "Missouri net individual income tax revenues" means the revenues collected from the Missouri individual income tax in this chapter less any refunds.
(3) As used in this section, "Missouri net corporation income tax revenues" means the revenues collected from the Missouri corporation income tax in section 143.071 less any refunds.
3. In the case of a small corporation described in section 143.471 or a partnership, computing the deduction allowed under subsection 4 of this section, taxpayers described in subdivisions (1) or (2) of this subsection shall be allowed such deduction apportioned in proportion to their share of ownership of the business on the last day of the taxpayer's tax period for which such deduction is being claimed when determining the Missouri adjusted gross income of:
(1) The shareholders of a small corporation as described in section 143.471;
(2) The partners in a partnership.
4. (1) In addition to all other modifications allowed by law, there shall be subtracted from the federal adjusted gross income of an individual taxpayer the amounts of business income as provided in this subsection to the extent included in federal adjusted gross income when determining the taxpayer's Missouri adjusted gross income.
(2) (a) For all tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2014, the percentage of the amount of business income to be subtracted under this subsection shall be determined as provided in this subdivision.
(b) The office of administration shall compare the sum of the Missouri net individual income tax revenues and the Missouri net corporation income tax revenues, as reported by the department of revenue, received in the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2012, to the Missouri net individual income tax revenues and the Missouri net corporation income tax revenues, as reported by the department of revenue, received in the fiscal year ending on June thirtieth of the tax year preceding the tax year for which the percentage of the amount of business income to be subtracted under this section is being determined under this section. When performing such comparison, the office of administration shall exclude any revenues received in any fiscal year as the result of any amnesty from the assessment or payment of all penalties, additions to tax, and interest with respect to unpaid taxes or taxes due and owing. Upon the completion of such comparison, the office of administration shall immediately report the results of such comparison to the director of the department of revenue.
(c) If, upon comparison of the sum of the Missouri net individual income tax revenues and the Missouri net corporation income tax revenues received as provided in this subdivision, the office of administration determines that the sum of the Missouri net individual income tax revenues and the Missouri net corporation income tax revenues received in the fiscal year ending on June thirtieth of such preceding tax year are less than the sum of the Missouri net individual income tax revenues and the Missouri net corporation income tax revenues received in the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2012, the percentage of the amount of business income that shall be subtracted under this subsection, if any, shall be the same as the immediately preceding tax year until such time the office of administration determines that the sum of the Missouri net individual income tax revenues and the Missouri net corporation income tax revenues received are equal to or greater than the sum of the Missouri net individual income tax revenues and the Missouri net corporation income tax revenues received in the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2012, and the percentage of business income subtracted should increase as provided in paragraph (d) of this subdivision.

2. Where the aggregate amount required to be deducted and withheld by any employer exceeds fifty dollars for at least two of the preceding twelve months, the director, by regulation, may require a monthly return. The due dates of the monthly return and the monthly payment or deposit for the first two months of each quarter shall be by the fifteenth day of the succeeding month. The due dates of the monthly return and the monthly payment or deposit for the last month of each quarter shall be by the last day of the succeeding month. The director may increase the amount required for making a monthly employer withholding payment and return to more than fifty dollars or decrease such required amount, however, the decreased amount shall not be less than fifty dollars.
3. Where the aggregate amount required to be deducted and withheld by any employer is less than [twenty] one hundred dollars in each of the four preceding quarters, and to the extent the employer does not meet the requirements in subsection 1 or 2 of this section for filing a withholding return on a quarterly or monthly basis, the employer shall file a withholding return for a calendar year. The director, by regulation, may also allow other employers to file annual returns. The return shall be filed and the taxes if any paid on or before January thirty-first of the succeeding year. The director may increase the amount required for making an annual employer withholding payment and return to more than [twenty] one hundred dollars or decrease such required amount, however, the decreased amount shall not be less than [twenty] one hundred dollars.
4. If the director of revenue finds that the collection of taxes required to be deducted and withheld by an employer may be jeopardized by delay, he may require the employer to pay over the tax or make a return at any time. A lien outstanding with regard to any tax administered by the director shall be a sufficient basis for this action.
