provided pursuant to the provisions of paragraphs 1 
and 2 of this subsection, apportioned as foll ows: 
(1) except as otherwise provided by division (2) of 
this subparagraph, taxable income of an insurance 
company for a taxable year shall be apportioned 
to this state by multiplying such income by a 
fraction, the numerator of which is the direct 
premiums written for insurance on property or 
risks in this state, and the denominator of which 
is the direct premiums written for insurance on 
property or risks eve rywhere.  For purposes of 
this subsection, the term "direct premiums 
written" means the total amoun t of direct 
premiums written, assessments and annuity 
considerations as reported for the taxable year

for reinsurance accepted in respect of property 
or risks in this state, and t he denominator of 
which is the sum of (c) direct premiums written

whether or not otherwise determinable, may at the 
election of the company be determ ined on the 
basis of the proportion which premiums written 
for insurance accepted from companies 
commercially domiciled in Oklahoma bears to 
premiums written for reinsurance accepted from 
all sources, or alternatively in the proportion 
which the sum of the direct premiums written for

5.  The net income o r 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 or 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 property and any 
other property used in the unitary enterprise.  Deductions used in 
computing such net income or loss shall not include taxes based on 
or measured by income.  Provided, for corporations whose property 
for purposes of the tax imposed by Section 2355 of this title has an 
initial investment cost equaling or exceeding Two Hundred M illion 
Dollars ($200,000,000.00) and such investment is made on or after 
July 1, 1997, or for corpo rations which expand their property or 
facilities in this state and such expansion has an investment cost 
equaling or exceeding Two Hundred Million Dollars ( $200,000,000.00) 
over a period not to exceed three (3) years, and such expansion is 
commenced on or after January 1, 2000, the three factors shall be

apportioned with property and payroll, each comprising twenty -five 
percent (25%) of the apportionment fact or and sales comprising fifty 
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 property everywhere owned 
or rented and used during the tax period. 
(1) Property, the income from which is separately 
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 stock, buses, trucks 
and trailers, including machinery and equipment 
carried thereon, airplanes, salespersons' 
automobiles and other similar equipment, in the 
proportion that miles traveled in Oklahoma by 
such equipment bears to tota l miles traveled,

(2) Property owned by the taxpayer is valued at its 
original cost.  Property rent ed 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 annu al 
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 
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 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 offi cers' 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 connection with employees 
operating equipment over a fixed route, such 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 s tate 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 fraction, the numerator of which 
is the total sales or gross revenue of the t axpayer 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 perio d.  "Sales", 
as used in this subsection does not include sales or 
gross revenue which are separatel y allocated in 
paragraph 4 of this subsection.

in this state if the property is delivered or 
shipped to a purchaser other than the United 
States government, within this state regardless 
of the FOB point or other conditions of the sale; 
or the property is shipped from an office, store, 
warehouse, factory or other place of storage in 
this state and (a) the pur chaser is the United 
States government or (b) the taxpayer is not 
doing business in the state of th e destination of 
the shipment. 
(2) In the case of a railroad or interurban railway 
enterprise, the numerator of the fraction shall 
not be less than the alloc ation 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 frac tion shall include a portion 
of revenue from interstate transportation in the 
proportion that inter state mileage traveled in 
Oklahoma bears to total interstate mileage 
traveled.

(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 miles moved, at 
the option of the taxpayer, and the denominator 
of which shall be the total of traffic units of 
the enterprise or the revenue of the enterprise 
everywhere as appropriate 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) c ubic feet of natural or 
casinghead gas, as the case may be. 
(5) In the case of a telephone or teleg raph 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 prescribed by the 
Federal Communications Commission; provided that 
in respect to each corporation or business entity 
required by the Federal Communications Commission 
to keep its books and records in accordance with 
a uniform system of accounts prescribed by such

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 subs ection.  
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 not 
employed to any appreciable extent in furtherance of the enterprise; 
or because one or more factors no t so prescribed are employed to a 
considerable extent in furtherance of the enterprise; or because of 
other reasons, the Tax Commission is empowered to permi t, after a 
showing by taxpayer that an excessive portion of net income has been 
attributed to Oklahoma, or require, when in its judgment an 
insufficient portion of net income has been attributed to Oklahoma, 
the elimination, substitution, or use of additio nal factors, or 
reduction or increase in the weight of such prescribed factors.  
Provided, however, that any such variance from such prescribed

attributable to Oklahoma must not be inhere ntly arbitrary, and 
application of the recomputed final apportionment 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 commod ity processing facility in this state 
may exclude from Oklahoma taxable income, or in the case of a n 
individual, the Oklahoma adjusted gross income, fifteen percent 
(15%) of the investment by the owner in the new or expanded 
agricultural commodity processi ng facility.  For calendar year 1999, 
and all subsequent years, the percentage, not to exceed fifte en 
percent (15%), available to the owner of a new or expanded 
agricultural commodity processing facility in this state claiming 
the exemption shall be adjust ed annually so that the total estimated 
reduction in tax liability does not exceed One Million Doll ars 
($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 invest ment is made.  In 
the event the total reduction in tax liability authorized by this 
paragraph exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in any 
calendar year, the Tax Commission shall permit any excess over One 
Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and shall fa ctor 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 provis ions 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 paragrap h: 
a. "Agricultural commodity processing facility" means 
building, structures, fixtures and improve ments used 
or operated primarily for the processing or production 
of marketable products from agricultural commodities.  
The term shall also mean a dairy ope ration that
