AN ACT
To repeal section 143.071, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof three 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Section A. Section 143.071, RSMo, is repealed and three new sections enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as sections 143.013, 143.071, and 148.720, to read as follows: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. 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.
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. 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.
(d) a. In the first tax year for which 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 preceding fiscal year ending on June thirtieth of such tax year 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, the percentage of the amount of business income that shall be subtracted under this subsection shall be ten percent.
b. In the second tax year for which 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 preceding fiscal year ending on June thirtieth of such tax year 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, the percentage of the amount of business income that shall be subtracted under this subsection shall be twenty percent.
c. In the third tax year for which 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 preceding fiscal year ending on June thirtieth of such tax year 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, the percentage of the amount of business income that shall be subtracted under this subsection shall be thirty percent.
