506	506	average of the number of shares owned by the investment company's fund
507	507	shareholders everywhere at the beginning of and at the end of the
508	508	investment company's taxable year that ends with or within the investment
509	509	funds service corporation's taxable year.
510	510	(B) A separate computation shall be made to determine the qualifying
511	511	business income from each fund of each investment company. The
512	512	qualifying business income from each investment company shall be
513	513	multiplied by the fraction calculated pursuant to paragraph (A) for each
514	514	fund of such investment company.
515	515	(C) The qualifying portion of total business income of an investment
516	516	funds service corporation shall be determined by multiplying such total
517	517	business income by a fraction, the numerator of which is the gross receipts
518	518	from the provision of management, distribution and administration
519	519	services to or on behalf of an investment company, and the denominator of
520	520	which is the gross receipts of the investment funds service company. To
521	521	the extent an investment funds service corporation has business income
522	522	that is not qualifying business income, such business income shall be
523	523	apportioned to this state pursuant to subsection (b)(1).
524	524	(D) For tax year 2002, the tax liability of an investment funds service
525	525	corporation that has elected to apportion its business income pursuant to
526	526	paragraph (5) shall be increased by an amount equal to 50% of the
527	527	difference of the amount of such tax liability if determined pursuant to
528	528	subsection (b)(1) less the amount of such tax liability determined with
529	529	regard to paragraph (5).
530	530	(E) When an investment funds service corporation is part of a unitary
531	531	group, the business income of the unitary group attributable to the
532	532	investment funds service corporation shall be determined by multiplying
533	533	the business income of the unitary group by a fraction, the numerator of
534	534	which is the property factor plus the payroll factor plus the sales factor,
535	535	and the denominator of which is three. The property factor is a fraction,
536	536	the numerator of which is the average value of the investment funds
537	537	service corporation's real and tangible personal property owned or rented
538	538	and used during the tax period and the denominator of which is the
539	539	average value of the unitary group's real and tangible personal property
540	540	owned or rented and used during the tax period. The payroll factor is a
541	541	fraction, the numerator of which is the total amount paid during the tax
542	542	period by the investment funds service corporation for compensation, and
543	543	the denominator of which is the total compensation paid by the unitary
544	544	group during the tax period. The sales factor is a fraction, the numerator of
545	545	which is the total sales of the investment funds service corporation during
546	546	the tax period, and the denominator of which is the total sales of the
547	547	unitary group during the tax period.

693	693	business facility if, after excluding the headcount and wages reported on
694	694	the quarterly wage reports to the Kansas department of labor for
695	695	employees at that new Kansas business facility who own five percent or

953	953	ARTICLE III.—Elements of Income Tax Laws
954	954	(1) Taxpayer option, state and local taxes. Any taxpayer subject to an
955	955	income tax whose income is subject to apportionment and allocation for
956	956	tax purposes pursuant to the laws of a party state or pursuant to the laws of
957	957	subdivisions in two or more party states may elect to apportion and
958	958	allocate his income in the manner provided by the laws of such state or by
959	959	the laws of such states and subdivisions without reference to this compact,
960	960	or may elect to apportion and allocate in accordance with article IV. This
961	961	election for any tax year may be made in all party states or subdivisions
962	962	thereof or in any one or more of the party states or subdivisions thereof
963	963	without reference to the election made in the others. For the purposes of
964	964	this paragraph, taxes imposed by subdivisions shall be considered
965	965	separately from state taxes and the apportionment and allocation also may
966	966	be applied to the entire tax base. In no instance wherein article IV is
967	967	employed for all subdivisions of a state may the sum of all apportionments
968	968	and allocations to subdivisions within a state be greater than the
969	969	apportionment and allocation that would be assignable to that state if the
970	970	apportionment or allocation were being made with respect to a state
971	971	income tax.
972	972	(2) Taxpayer option, short form state and local taxes. Each party state
973	973	or any subdivision thereof which imposes an income tax shall provide by
974	974	law that any taxpayer required to file a return, whose only activities within

1020	1020	of gross sales made during the tax year within the state or subdivision, as
1021	1021	the case may be, is not in excess of $100,000 may elect to report and pay
1022	1022	any tax due on the basis of a percentage of such volume, and shall adopt
1023	1023	rates which shall produce a tax which reasonably approximates the tax
1024	1024	otherwise due. The multistate tax commission, not more than once in five
1025	1025	years, may adjust the $100,000 figure in order to reflect such changes as
1026	1026	may occur in the real value of the dollar, and such adjusted figure, upon
1027	1027	adoption by the commission, shall replace the $100,000 figure specifically

1192	1192	are allocable to this state.

1196	1196	this state and the taxpayer is not organized under the laws of or taxable in
1197	1197	the state in which the property is utilized.
1198	1198	(c) The extent of utilization of tangible personal property in a state is

1205	1205	period is unknown or unascertainable by the taxpayer, tangible personal
1206	1206	property is utilized in the state in which the property was located at the
1207	1207	time the rental or royalty payer obtained possession.
1208	1208	(6) (a) Capital gains and losses from sales of real property located in
1209	1209	this state are allocable to this state.
1210	1210	(b) Capital gains and losses from sales of tangible personal property

1212	1212	time of the sale, or (2) the taxpayer's commercial domicile is in this state
1213	1213	and the taxpayer is not taxable in the state in which the property had a
1214	1214	situs.
1215	1215	(c) Capital gains and losses from sales of intangible personal property
1216	1216	are allocable to this state if the taxpayer's commercial domicile is in this
1217	1217	state.
1218	1218	(7) Interest and dividends are allocable to this state if the taxpayer's
1219	1219	commercial domicile is in this state.
1220	1220	(8) (a) Patent and copyright royalties are allocable to this state: (1) If
1221	1221	and to the extent that the patent or copyright is utilized by the payer in this
1222	1222	state, or (2) if and to the extent that the patent copyright is utilized by the
1223	1223	payer in a state in which the taxpayer is not taxable and the taxpayer's
1224	1224	commercial domicile is in this state.
1225	1225	(b) A patent is utilized in a state to the extent that it is employed in
1226	1226	production, fabrication, manufacturing, or other processing in the state or

1228	1228	receipts from patent royalties does not permit allocation to states or if the
1229	1229	accounting procedures do not reflect states of utilization, the patent is
1230	1230	utilized in the state in which the taxpayer's commercial domicile is located.
1231	1231	(c) A copyright is utilized in a state to the extent that printing or other

1276	1276	royalties does not permit allocation to states or if the accounting
1277	1277	procedures do not reflect states of utilization, the copyright is utilized in
1278	1278	the state in which the taxpayer's commercial domicile is located.
1279	1279	(9) All business income shall be apportioned to this state by
1280	1280	multiplying the income by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
1281	1281	property factor plus the payroll factor plus the sales factor, and the
1282	1282	denominator of which is three.
1283	1283	(10) The property factor is a fraction, the numerator of which is the
1284	1284	average value of the taxpayer's real and tangible personal property owned
1285	1285	or rented and used in this state during the tax period and the denominator
1286	1286	of which is the average value of all the taxpayer's real and tangible
1287	1287	personal property owned or rented and used during the tax period.
1288	1288	(11) Property owned by the taxpayer is valued at its original cost.

1310	1310	or the place from which the service is directed or controlled is not in any
1311	1311	state in which some part of the service is performed, but the individual's
1312	1312	residence is in this state.
1313	1313	(15)(10) The sales factor is a fraction, the numerator of which is the
1314	1314	total sales of the taxpayer in this state during the tax period, and the
1315	1315	denominator of which is the total sales of the taxpayer everywhere during

1464	1464	the same property to another state and any subdivision thereof. The credit
1465	1465	shall be applied first against the amount of any use tax due the state, and

1467	1467	of any use tax due a subdivision.
1468	1468	(2) Exemption certificates, vendors may rely. Whenever a vendor
1469	1469	receives and accepts in good faith from a purchaser a resale or other
1470	1470	exemption certificate or other written evidence of exemption authorized by
1471	1471	the appropriate state or subdivision taxing authority, the vendor shall be
1472	1472	relieved of liability for a sales or use tax with respect to the transaction.

1482	1482	written notification of the designation and identity of the alternate. The
1483	1483	attorney general of each party state or his designee, or other counsel if the
1484	1484	laws of the party state specifically provide, shall be entitled to attend the
1485	1485	meetings of the commission, but shall not vote. Such attorneys general,

1703	1703	In determining such amounts, the commission shall employ such available
1704	1704	public sources of information as, in its judgment, present the most
1705	1705	equitable and accurate comparisons among the party states. Each of the
1706	1706	commission's budgets of estimated expenditures and requests for
1707	1707	appropriations shall indicate the sources used in obtaining information
1708	1708	employed in applying the formula contained in this paragraph.

1714	1714	Except where the commission makes use of funds available to it under
1715	1715	paragraph (1) (i), the commission shall not incur any obligation prior to the
1716	1716	allotment of funds by the party states adequate to meet the same.
1717	1717	(d) The commission shall keep accurate accounts of all receipts and
1718	1718	disbursements. The receipts and disbursements of the commission shall be
1719	1719	subject to the audit and accounting procedures established under its
1720	1720	bylaws. All receipts and disbursements of funds handled by the
1721	1721	commission shall be audited yearly by a certified or licensed public
1722	1722	accountant and the report of the audit shall be included in and become part
1723	1723	of the annual report of the commission.
1724	1724	(e) The accounts of the commission shall be open at any reasonable
1725	1725	time for inspection by duly constituted officers of the party states and by
1726	1726	any persons authorized by the commission.
1727	1727	(f) Nothing contained in this article shall be construed to prevent
1728	1728	commission compliance with laws relating to audit or inspection of
1729	1729	accounts by or on behalf of any government contributing to the support of
1730	1730	the commission.
1731	1731	ARTICLE VII.—Uniform Regulations and Forms
1732	1732	(1) Whenever any two or more party states, or subdivisions of party
1733	1733	states, have uniform or similar provisions of law relating to an income tax,
1734	1734	capital stock tax, gross receipts tax, sales or use tax, the commission may
1735	1735	adopt uniform regulations for any phase of the administration of such law,
1736	1736	including assertion of jurisdiction to tax, or prescribing uniform tax forms.
1737	1737	The commission may also act with respect to the provisions of article IV
1738	1738	of this compact.

1790	1790	(3) The commission shall submit any regulations adopted by it to the
1791	1791	appropriate officials of all party states and subdivisions to which they
1792	1792	might apply. Each such state and subdivision shall consider any such
1793	1793	regulation for adoption in accordance with its own laws and procedures.
1794	1794	ARTICLE VIII.—Interstate Audits
1795	1795	(1) This article shall be in force only in those party states that
1796	1796	specifically provide therefor by statute.
1797	1797	(2) Any party state or subdivision thereof desiring to make or
1798	1798	participate in an audit of any accounts, books, papers, records or other
1799	1799	documents may request the commission to perform the audit on its behalf.
1800	1800	In responding to the request, the commission shall have access to and may
1801	1801	examine, at any reasonable time, such accounts, books, papers, records,
1802	1802	and other documents and any relevant property or stock of merchandise.
1803	1803	The commission may enter into agreements with party states or their
1804	1804	subdivisions for assistance in performance of the audit. The commission
1805	1805	shall make charges, to be paid by the state or local government or
1806	1806	governments for which it performs the service, for any audits performed
1807	1807	by it in order to reimburse itself for the actual costs incurred in making the
1808	1808	audit.
1809	1809	(3) The commission may require the attendance of any person within
1810	1810	the state where it is conducting an audit or part thereof at a time and place
1811	1811	fixed by it within such state for the purpose of giving testimony with
1812	1812	respect to any account, book, paper, document, other record, property or
1813	1813	stock of merchandise being examined in connection with the audit. If the
1814	1814	person is not within the jurisdiction, he may be required to attend for such
1815	1815	purpose at any time and place fixed by the commission within the state of
1816	1816	which he is a resident: Provided, That such state has adopted this article.
1817	1817	(4) The commission may apply to any court having power to issue
1818	1818	compulsory process for orders in aid of its powers and responsibilities
1819	1819	pursuant to this article and any and all such courts shall have jurisdiction
1820	1820	to issue such orders. Failure of any person to obey any such order shall be
1821	1821	punishable as contempt of the issuing court. If the party or subject matter
1822	1822	on account of which the commission seeks an order is within the
1823	1823	jurisdiction of the court to which application is made, such application
1824	1824	may be to a court in the state or subdivision on behalf of which the audit is
1825	1825	being made or a court in the state in which the object of the order being
1826	1826	sought is situated. The provisions of this paragraph apply only to courts in
1827	1827	a state that has adopted this article.
1828	1828	(5) The commission may decline to perform any audit requested if it
1829	1829	finds that its available personnel or other resources are insufficient for the

1873	1873	purpose or that, in the terms requested, the audit is impracticable of
1874	1874	satisfactory performance. If the commission, on the basis of its experience,
1875	1875	has reason to believe that an audit of a particular taxpayer, either at a
1876	1876	particular time or on a particular schedule, would be of interest to a
1877	1877	number of party states or their subdivisions, it may offer to make the audit
1878	1878	or audits, the offer to be contingent on sufficient participation therein as
1879	1879	determined by the commission.
1880	1880	(6) Information obtained by any audit pursuant to this article shall be
1881	1881	confidential and available only for tax purposes to party states, their
1882	1882	subdivisions or the United States. Availability of information shall be in
1883	1883	accordance with the laws of the states or subdivisions on whose account
1884	1884	the commission performs the audit, and only through the appropriate
1885	1885	agencies or officers of such states or subdivisions. Nothing in this article
1886	1886	shall be construed to require any taxpayer to keep records for any period
1887	1887	not otherwise required by law.
1888	1888	(7) Other arrangements made or authorized pursuant to law for
1889	1889	cooperative audit by or on behalf of the party states or any of their
1890	1890	subdivisions are not superseded or invalidated by this article.
1891	1891	(8) In no event shall the commission make any charge against a
1892	1892	taxpayer for an audit.
1893	1893	(9) As used in this article, "tax," in addition to the meaning ascribed
1894	1894	to it in article II, means any tax or license fee imposed in whole or in part
1895	1895	for revenue purposes.
1896	1896	ARTICLE IX.—Arbitration
1897	1897	(1) Whenever the commission finds a need for settling disputes
1898	1898	concerning apportionments and allocations by arbitration, it may adopt a
1899	1899	regulation placing this article in effect, notwithstanding the provisions of
1900	1900	article VII.
1901	1901	(2) The commission shall select and maintain an arbitration panel
1902	1902	composed of officers and employees of state and local governments and
1903	1903	private persons who shall be knowledgeable and experienced in matters of
1904	1904	tax law and administration.
1905	1905	(3) Whenever a taxpayer who has elected to employ article IV, or
1906	1906	whenever the laws of the party state or subdivision thereof are
1907	1907	substantially identical with the relevant provisions of article IV, the
1908	1908	taxpayer, by written notice to the commission and to each party state or
1909	1909	subdivision thereof that would be affected, may secure arbitration of an
1910	1910	apportionment or allocation, if he is dissatisfied with the final
1911	1911	administrative determination of the tax agency of the state or subdivision
1912	1912	with respect thereto on the ground that it would subject him to double or
1913	1913	multiple taxation by two or more party states or subdivisions thereof. Each
1914	1914	party state and subdivision thereof hereby consents to the arbitration as

1958	1958	provided herein, and agrees to be bound thereby.
1959	1959	(4) The arbitration board shall be composed of one person selected by
1960	1960	the taxpayer, one by the agency or agencies involved, and one member of
1961	1961	the commission's arbitration panel. If the agencies involved are unable to
1962	1962	agree on the person to be selected by them, such person shall be selected
1963	1963	by lot from the total membership of the arbitration panel. The two persons
1964	1964	selected for the board in the manner provided by the foregoing provisions
1965	1965	of this paragraph shall jointly select the third member of the board. If they
1966	1966	are unable to agree on the selection, the third member shall be selected by
1967	1967	lot from among the total membership of the arbitration panel. No member
1968	1968	of a board selected by lot shall be qualified to serve if he is an officer or
1969	1969	employee or is otherwise affiliated with any party to the arbitration
1970	1970	proceeding. Residence within the jurisdiction of a party to the arbitration
1971	1971	proceeding shall not constitute affiliation within the meaning of this
1972	1972	paragraph.
1973	1973	(5) The board may sit in any state or subdivision party to the
1974	1974	proceeding, in the state of the taxpayer's incorporation, residence or
1975	1975	domicile, in any state where the taxpayer does business, or in any place
1976	1976	that it finds most appropriate for gaining access to evidence relevant to the
1977	1977	matter before it.
1978	1978	(6) The board shall give due notice of the times and places of its
1979	1979	hearings. The parties shall be entitled to be heard, to present evidence, and
1980	1980	to examine and cross-examine witnesses. The board shall act by majority
1981	1981	vote.
1982	1982	(7) The board shall have power to administer oaths, take testimony,
1983	1983	subpoena and require the attendance of witnesses and the production of
1984	1984	accounts, books, papers, records, and other documents, and issue
1985	1985	commissions to take testimony. Subpoenas may be signed by any member
1986	1986	of the board. In case of failure to obey a subpoena, and upon application
1987	1987	by the board, any judge of a court of competent jurisdiction of the state in
1988	1988	which the board is sitting or in which the person to whom the subpoena is
1989	1989	directed may be found may make an order requiring compliance with the
1990	1990	subpoena, and the court may punish failure to obey the order as a
1991	1991	contempt. The provisions of this paragraph apply only in states that have
1992	1992	adopted this article.
1993	1993	(8) Unless the parties otherwise agree the expenses and other costs of
1994	1994	the arbitration shall be assessed and allocated among the parties by the
1995	1995	board in such manner as it may determine. The commission shall fix a
1996	1996	schedule of compensation for members of arbitration boards and of other
1997	1997	allowable expenses and costs. No officer or employee of a state or local
1998	1998	government who serves as a member of a board shall be entitled to
1999	1999	compensation therefor unless he is required on account of his service to
2000	2000	forego the regular compensation attaching to his public employment, but

2046	2046	allocation and any matters necessary thereto. The determinations of the
2047	2047	board shall be final for purposes of making the apportionment or
2048	2048	allocation, but for no other purpose.
2049	2049	(10) The board shall file with the commission and with each tax
2050	2050	agency represented in the proceeding: The determination of the board; the
2051	2051	board's written statement of its reasons therefor; the record of the board's
2052	2052	proceedings; and any other documents required by the arbitration rules of
2053	2053	the commission to be filed.
2054	2054	(11) The commission shall publish the determinations of boards
2055	2055	together with the statements of the reasons therefor.
2056	2056	(12) The commission shall adopt and publish rules of procedure and
2057	2057	practice and shall file a copy of such rules and of any amendment thereto
2058	2058	with the appropriate agency or officer in each of the party states.
2059	2059	(13) Nothing contained herein shall prevent at any time a written
2060	2060	compromise of any matter or matters in dispute, if otherwise lawful, by the
2061	2061	parties to the arbitration proceeding.
2062	2062	ARTICLE X.—Entry Into Force and Withdrawal
2063	2063	(1) This compact shall enter into force when enacted into law by any
2064	2064	seven states. Thereafter, this compact shall become effective as to any
2065	2065	other state upon its enactment thereof. The commission shall arrange for
2066	2066	notification of all party states whenever there is a new enactment of the
2067	2067	compact.
2068	2068	(2) Any party state may withdraw from this compact by enacting a
2069	2069	statute repealing the same. No withdrawal shall affect any liability already
2070	2070	incurred by or chargeable to a party state prior to the time of such
2071	2071	withdrawal.
2072	2072	(3) No proceeding commenced before an arbitration board prior to the
2073	2073	withdrawal of a state and to which the withdrawing state or any
2074	2074	subdivision thereof is a party shall be discontinued or terminated by the
2075	2075	withdrawal, nor shall the board thereby lose jurisdiction over any of the
2076	2076	parties to the proceeding necessary to make a binding determination
2077	2077	therein.
2078	2078	ARTICLE XI.—Effect on Other Laws and Jurisdiction

2128	2128	That the definition of "tax" in article VIII (9) may apply for the purposes

2130	2130	pursuant to article VI (3) may apply.
2131	2131	(c) Withdraw or limit the jurisdiction of any state or local court or
2132	2132	administrative officer or body with respect to any person, corporation or
2133	2133	other entity or subject matter, except to the extent that such jurisdiction is

2138	2138	ARTICLE XII.—Construction and Severability
2139	2139	This compact shall be liberally construed so as to effectuate the
2140	2140	purposes thereof. The provisions of this compact shall be severable and if
2141	2141	any phrase, clause, sentence or provision of this compact is declared to be
2142	2142	contrary to the constitution of any state or of the United States or the
2143	2143	applicability thereof to any government, agency, person or circumstance is
2144	2144	held invalid, the validity of the remainder of this compact and the
2145	2145	applicability thereof to any government, agency, person or circumstance
2146	2146	shall not be affected thereby. If this compact shall be held contrary to the
2147	2147	constitution of any state participating therein, the compact shall remain in
2148	2148	full force and effect as to the remaining party states and in full force and
2149	2149	effect as to the state affected as to all severable matters.
2150	2150	Sec. 6. K.S.A. 79-4302 is hereby amended to read as follows: 79-
2151	2151	4302. The provisions of article III (2) (1) of the multistate tax compact [,
2152	2152	K.S.A. 79-4301], and amendments thereto, shall apply to the Kansas
2153	2153	income tax act and to every income tax hereafter adopted by any taxing
2154	2154	subdivision of this state. It is the intent of the legislature that the
2155	2155	provisions of articles III and IV of the multistate tax compact supplement
2156	2156	the Kansas income tax act and any income tax hereafter adopted by any
2157	2157	taxing subdivision of this state and not as an alternative method of
2158	2158	allocating and apportioning income or classifying income in a manner
2159	2159	other than as specified in the Kansas income tax act or any income tax
2160	2160	hereafter adopted by any taxing subdivision of this state. Any amendments
2161	2161	to the Kansas income tax act or any income tax hereafter adopted by any
2162	2162	taxing subdivision of this state shall, where applicable, be deemed to have
2163	2163	repealed any provisions of the multistate tax compact that are inconsistent
2164	2164	with such amendments. In the event of a conflict between the Kansas
2165	2165	income tax act or any income tax hereafter adopted by any taxing
2166	2166	subdivision of this state and the provisions contained in the multistate tax
2167	2167	compact, the Kansas income tax act or income tax hereafter adopted by
2168	2168	any taxing subdivision of this state shall apply.
