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 sepa rately 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 equipmen t having no fixed situs, such as rolling st ock, 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, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 (2) Property owned by the taxpayer is valued at its original cost.

The payroll factor is a fra ction, the numerator of which is the total compensation for services rendered in the state during the tax period, 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 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 (1) In the case of a transportation enterprise, the numerator of the fraction shall include a po rtion of such expenditure in c onnection with employees operating equipment over a fixed route, s uch as railroad employees, airline pilots, or 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 propor tion that time spent in Oklahoma bears to total time spent in furtherance of the enterprise by s uch employees; c. The sales factor is a fra ction, 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 du ring 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 subsecti on. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 (1) Sales of tangible pers onal property have a situs in this state if the property is delive red or shipped to a purchaser other than th e United States government, within this state 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) the 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 the 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 port ion of revenue from interstate transporta tion in the proportion that interstate mileage traveled in Oklahoma bears to total interstate mileage traveled. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 (4) In the case of an oil, gasoline or gas pipeline enterprise, the numerator of the fraction shall be either the total of traffic units of the enterprise within Oklahoma or the revenue allocated to Oklahoma based upon m iles moved, at the option of the taxpayer, and the denominator of which shall be the total of tr affic units of the enterprise or the revenu e 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 (1,000) 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 presc ribed by the 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 su ch 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 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 provi sions 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 bu siness transacted within this state, because of the fact that one or more of the factors so pres cribed are not employed to any appreciable extent 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 additional factors, or reduction or increase in the weight of such prescr ibed factors. Provided, however, that any such variance from such prescribe d 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 factors which has the effect of increasing the portion of net income attributable to Oklahoma must not be inherently arbitrary, and application of the recomputed final apportionm ent to the net income of the enterprise must attribute to Oklahoma only a re asonable portion thereof. 6.

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 the exemption shall be adjusted annually so that the t otal 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 eligib le 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 reduc tion in tax liability authoriz ed by this paragraph exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) i n any calendar year, the Tax Commission sha ll permit any excess over One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and shall factor such excess into 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 the percentage for su bsequent 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 exc eeding six (6) years following the year in which the investment was originally made. For purposes of this paragraph: a. "Agricultural commodity processing facility" means building, structures, fixtures and improvements used or operated primarily for the pr ocessing or production of marketable products from agricultural commodities .
