A. For taxable years beginning on or after July 1, 2012, the Virginia taxable income of a retail company, excluding income allocable under §58.1-407, shall be apportioned within and without the Commonwealth [ as provided in §58.1-408 or ] as follows:

2. From July 1, 2014, until July 1, 2015, by multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of which is the property factor plus the payroll factor plus quadruple the sales factor and the denominator of which is six, except that when the sales factor does not exist, the denominator of the fraction shall be the number of existing factors, and when the sales factor exists but the payroll factor or property factor does not exist, the denominator of the fraction shall be the number of existing factors plus three; and

3. From July 1, 2015, and thereafter, by multiplying such income by the sales factor.
