state to the original cost of such partnership 's
tangible property everywhere, as dete rmined at
the time of the sale; if more than fifty percent
(50%) of the value of the partnership's assets
consists of intangible assets, capital or
ordinary gains or losses from the sale of an
ownership interest in the partnership shall be
allocated to this state in accordance with the
sales factor of the partner ship for its first
full tax period immediately preceding its ta x
period during which the ownership interest in the
partnership was sold; the provisions of this
division shall only apply if the capit al or
ordinary gains or losses from the sale of an
ownership interest in a partnership do not
constitute qualifying gain receiving capital
treatment as defined in subparagraph a of
paragraph 2 of subsection F of this section,

the Oklahoma net incom e shall, at the option of the
taxpayer, be that portion of th e total net income of
the taxpayer for federal income tax purposes derived

"public warehouse" as used in this subparagraph means
a licensed public warehouse, the principal business of
which is warehousing merchandise for the public;
e. In the case of insurance companies, Oklahoma taxable
income shall be taxable income of the taxpayer for
federal tax purposes, as adjusted for the adjus tments
provided pursuant to the provisions of paragraphs 1
and 2 of this subsection, apportioned as follows:
(1) except as otherwise provided by division (2) of
this subparagraph, taxable income of an insurance
company for a taxable year shall be apportion ed
to this state by multiplying such income by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the direct
premiums written for insurance on property or

is the direct premiums written for insurance on
property or risks everywhere. For purposes of
this subsection, the term "direct premiums
written" means the total amount of direc t
premiums written, assessments and annuity
considerations as reported for the taxable year
on the annual statement filed by the company with

prescribed in lieu thereof, ENR. H. B. NO. 3088 Page 7
(2) if the principal source of premiums written by an
insurance company consists of premiums fo r
reinsurance accepted by it, t he taxable income of
such company shall be apportioned to this state
by multiplying such income by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the sum o f (a) direct
premiums written for insurance on property or
risks in this state, plus (b) premiums written
for reinsurance accepted in respect of property
or risks in this state, and the denomi nator of
which is the sum of (c) direct premiums written
for insurance on property or risks everywhere,
plus (d) premiums written for reinsuran ce
accepted in respect of prope rty or risks
everywhere. For purposes of this paragraph,
premiums written for rei nsurance accepted in
respect of property or risks in this state,
whether or not otherwise determinable, may at the
election of the company be d etermined on the
basis of the proportion which premiums written
for insurance accepted from companies
commercially domiciled in Oklahoma bears to
premiums written for reinsuranc e accepted from
all sources, or alternatively in the proportion
which the sum of the direct premiums written f or
insurance on property or risks in this state by
each ceding company from which reinsurance is
accepted bears to the sum of the total direct
premiums written by each such ceding company for
the taxable year.
5. The net income or loss remaining after the separate
allocation in paragraph 4 of this subsection, being that which is
derived from a unitary business enterprise, shall be apportioned to
this state on the basis of the arithmetical average of three factors
consisting of property, payroll and sales o r gross revenue
enumerated as subparagraphs a, b and c of this paragraph. Net
income or loss as used in this paragraph includes that derived from
patent or copyright royalties, purchase discounts, and interest on
accounts receivable relating to or arising from a business activity,
the income from which is apportioned pursuant to this subsection,
including the sale or other disposition of such prope rty and any
other property used in the unitary enterprise . Deductions used in
computing such net income or lo ss shall not include taxes based on ENR. H. B. NO. 3088 Page 8
or measured by income. Provided, for corpora tions whose property
for purposes of the tax imposed by Section 2 355 of this title has an
initial investment cost equaling or exceeding Two Hund red Million
Dollars ($200,000,000.00) and such investment is made on or after
July 1, 1997, or for corporations which expand their property or
facilities in this state and such expansion has an investment cost
equaling or exceeding Two Hundred Million Doll ars ($200,000,000.00)
over a period not to exceed three (3) years, and such expansion is
commenced on or after J anuary 1, 2000, the three factors shall be
apportioned with prope rty and payroll, each comprising twenty -five
percent (25%) of the apportionment factor and sales comprising fi fty
percent (50%) of the apportionment factor. The apportionment
factors shall be computed as follows:
a. The property factor is a fraction, the numerator of
which is the average value of the taxpayer 's real and
tangible personal property owned or rented and used in
this state during the tax period and the denominator
of which is the average value of all the taxpayer 's
real and tangible personal pr operty everywhere owned
or rented and used during the tax period.
(1) Property, the income from which is separ ately
allocated in paragraph 4 of this subsection,
shall not be included in determining this
fraction. The numerator of the fraction shall
include a portion of the investment in
transportation and other equipment having no
fixed situs, such as rolling sto ck, buses, trucks
and trailers, including machinery and equipment
carried thereon, airplanes, salespersons'
automobiles and other similar equipmen t, in the
proportion that miles traveled in Oklahoma by
such equipment bears to total miles traveled,
(2) Property owned by the taxpayer is valued at its
original cost. Property rented by the taxpayer
is valued at eight times the net annual rental
rate. Net annual rental rate is the annual
rental rate paid by the taxpayer, less any annual
rental rate received by the taxpayer from
subrentals,
(3) The average value of property shall be determined
by averaging the values at the beginning and ENR. H. B. NO. 3088 Page 9
ending of the tax period but the Oklahoma Tax
Commission may require the averaging of monthly
values during the tax period if reasonably
required to reflect properly the average value of
the taxpayer's property;
b. The payroll factor is a fraction, the numerator of
which is the total compensation for services rendered
in the state during the tax per iod, and the
denominator of which is the total compensation for
services rendered everywhere during the tax period.
"Compensation", as used in this subsection means those
paid-for services to the extent related to the unitary
business but does not include officers' salaries,
wages and other compensation.
(1) In the case of a transportation enterprise, the
numerator of the fraction shall include a portion
of such expenditure in c onnection with employees
operating equipment over a fixed route, such as
railroad employees, airline pilots, o r bus
drivers, in this state only a part of the time,
in the proportion that mileage traveled in
Oklahoma bears to total mileage traveled by such
employees,
(2) In any case the numerator of the fraction shall
include a portion of such expenditures in
connection with itinerant employees, such as
traveling salespersons, in this state only a part
of the time, in the proportion that time spent in
Oklahoma bears to total time spent in furtherance
of the enterprise by such employees ;
c. The sales factor is a frac tion, the numerator of which
is the total sales or gross revenue of the taxpayer in
this state during the tax period, and the denominator
of which is the total sales or gross revenue of the
taxpayer everywhere during the tax period. "Sales",
as used in this subsection does not include sales or
gross revenue which are separately allocated in
paragraph 4 of this subsection.
(1) Sales of tangible pers onal property have a situs
in this state if the property is delivered or ENR. H. B. NO. 3088 Page 10
shipped to a purchaser other than the United
States government, within this s tate regardless
of the FOB point or other conditions of the sale;
or the property is shipped from an offic e, store,
warehouse, factory or other place of storage in
this state and (a) th e purchaser is the United
States government or (b) the taxpayer is not
doing business in the state of the destination of
the shipment.
(2) In the case of a railroad or interurba n railway
enterprise, the numerator of the fraction shall
not be less than the allocation of revenues to
this state as shown in its annual report to t he
Corporation Commission.
(3) In the case of an airline, truck or bus
enterprise or freight car, tank car , refrigerator
car or other railroad equipment enterprise, the
numerator of the fraction shall include a porti on
of revenue from interstate transporta tion in the
proportion that interstate mileage traveled in
Oklahoma bears to total interstate mileage
traveled.
(4) In the case of an oil, gasoline or gas pipeline
enterprise, the numer ator of the fraction shall
be either the total of traffic units of the
enterprise within Oklahoma or the revenue
allocated to Oklahoma based upon miles moved, at
the option of the taxpayer, and the denominator
of which shall be the total of traffic units o f
the enterprise or the revenue of the enterprise
everywhere as appropr iate to the numerator. A
"traffic unit" is hereby defined as the
transportation for a distance of one (1) mile of
one (1) barrel of oil, one (1) gallon of gasoline
or one thousand (1,0 00) cubic feet of natural or
casinghead gas, as the case may be.
(5) In the case of a telephone or telegraph or other
communication enterprise, the numerator of the
fraction shall include that portion of the
interstate revenue as is allocated pursuant to
the accounting procedures prescr ibed by the ENR. H. B. NO. 3088 Page 11
Federal Communications Commi ssion; provided that
in respect to each corporation or business entity
required by the Federal Communicati ons Commission
to keep its books and records in accordance with
a uniform system of accounts prescribed by suc h
Commission, the intrastate net income shall be
determined separately in the manner provided by
such uniform system of accounts and only the
interstate income shall be subject to allocation
pursuant to the provisions of this subsection.
Provided further, that the gross revenue factors
shall be those as are determined pursuant to the
accounting procedures prescribed by the Federal
Communications Commission.
In any case where the apportionment of the three factors
prescribed in this paragraph attributes to Oklahoma a portion of net
income of the enterprise out of all appropriate proportion to the
property owned and/or business transacted within this state, because
of the fact that one or more of the factors so prescribed are no t
employed to any appreciable e xtent in furtherance of the enterprise;
or because one or more factors not so prescribed are employed to a
considerable extent in furtherance of t he enterprise; or because of
other reasons, the Tax Commission is empowered to permit, after a
showing by taxpayer that an excessive portion of net in come has been
attributed to Oklahoma, or require, when in its judgment an
insufficient portion of net inco me has been attributed to Oklahoma,
the elimination, substitution, or use of ad ditional factors, or
reduction or increase in the weight of such prescr ibed factors.
Provided, however, that any such variance from such prescribed
factors which has the effect of increasing the portion of net income
attributable to Oklahoma must not be i nherently arbitrary, and
application of the recomputed final apportionm ent to the net income
of the enterprise must attribute to Oklahoma only a reasonable
portion thereof.
6. For calendar years 1997 and 1998, the owner of a new or
expanded agricultural c ommodity processing facility in this state
may exclude from Oklahoma ta xable income, or in the case of an
individual, the Oklahoma adjusted gross income, fifteen percent
(15%) of the investment by the owner in the new or expanded
agricultural commodity pro cessing facility. For calendar year 1999,
and all subsequent years, th e percentage, not to exceed fifteen
percent (15%), available to the owner of a new or expanded
agricultural commodity processing facility in this state claiming ENR. H. B. NO. 3088 Page 12
the exemption shall be a djusted annually so that the to tal estimated
reduction in tax liability does not exceed One Million Dollars
($1,000,000.00) annually. The Tax Commission shall promulgate rules
for determining the percentage of the investment which each eligible
taxpayer may exclude. The exclusion provided by this paragraph
shall be taken in the taxable year when the investment is made. In
the event the total reduction in tax liability authoriz ed by this
paragraph exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in any
calendar year, the Tax Commission shal l permit any excess over One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and shall factor such excess into
the percentage for subsequent years . Any amount of the exemption
permitted to be excluded pursuant to the provisions of this
paragraph but not used in any year may be carried forward as an
exemption from income pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph
for a period not exceeding six (6) years following the year in which
the investment was originally made.
For purposes of this par agraph:
a. "Agricultural commodity processing facility" means
building, structures, fixtures and improvements used
or operated primarily for the processing or production
of marketable products from agricultural commodities .
The term shall also mean a dair y operation that
requires a depreciable investment of at least Two
