of the State Board of Equalization, then the income tax rate 
otherwise prescribed by subsection D of this section shall be 
reduced by twenty-five hundredths of one percent (0. 0025%) effective 
on January 1 of the calendar year immediately following the year 
during which the State Board of Equalization makes the finding that 
revenue growth as prescribed by this subsection is sufficient to 
reduce the income tax rate otherwise prescribed by subsection D of 
this section.  For purposes of this subsection, the total 
collections from all revenue sources with respect to the General 
Revenue Fund of the State Treasur y for the fiscal year ending June 
30, 2021, based upon the certification made by the State Board of

State Board shall compare the General Revenue Fund total collections 
amount for each fiscal year ending on the immediately preceding June 
30 date, to the initial base year General Revenue Fund total 
collections amount.  If there is an increase in the General Revenue 
Fund total collections amount equal to or greater than one and five-
tenths percent (1.5%) compared to the initial base year General 
Revenue Fund total collections amount, the income tax rate otherwise 
prescribed by subsection D of this section shall be reduced 
effective January 1 of the immediately succeeding calendar year.  If 
there is not an increase of at least one and five-tenths percent

(1.5%) in the General Revenue Fund total collections amoun t as 
reflected in the February certification of total collections 
compared to the initial base year General Revenue Fund total 
collection amount, there shall be no modification of the income tax 
rate as prescribed by this section.  For any year during which the 
General Revenue Fund total collection amount as determined at the 
February meeting equals or exceeds the base year General Revenue 
Fund total collection amount by one and five-tenths percent (1.5%) 
or more, the base year shall be adjusted for purposes of any 
succeeding comparison.  The State Board of Equalization shall make 
computations as required by this subsection and shall use the prior 
base year amount which shall be multiplied by one and five-tenths 
percent (1.5%) and the result of that computa tion shall be added to 
the base year General Revenue Fund total collection figure for 
purposes of any succeeding comparison as prescribed by this 
subsection.  After an adjustment is made to any base year amount, a 
reduction in the income tax rate otherwise prescribed pursuant to 
subsection D of this section, in increments of twenty-five 
hundredths of one percent (0.0025%) may only occur if there is an 
increase of one and five-tenths percent (1.5%) or more in the 
adjusted base year General Revenue Fund total collection amount.  If 
there are seven authorized reductions in the income tax ra te 
otherwise prescribed by s ubsection D of this section, the seventh 
reduction in the income tax rate shall cause the income tax rate to

be two and seventy-five hundredths perc ent (2.75%) for the 
applicable income tax year, and there shall be no further reductions 
in the income tax rates which shall remain at two and seventy -five 
hundredths percent (2.75%).  For purposes of implementing the 
reduction in income tax rates as set out in this subsection, the 
existing rates of tax shall be conv erted as they appear in 
subsection D of this section from a combined whole number and 
fraction into a decimal equivalent and for each reduction 
authorized, the amount subtracted from such converted numeral shall 
be an increment of 0.0025. 
F.  Nonresident aliens.  In lieu of the rates set forth in 
subsection A, B, C, or D above, there shall be imp osed on 
nonresident aliens, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code, a tax 
of eight percent (8%) instead of thirty percent (30%) as used in the

of such nonresident aliens as determined unde r the provision of the

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 i nsurance 
company for a taxable year shall be apportion ed 
to this state by multip lying 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 everywhere.  For purposes of 
this subsection, the term "direct premiums

prescribed in lieu thereof, 
(2) if the principal source of premiums w ritten by an 
insurance company consists of premiums fo r 
reinsurance accepted by it, the 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 of (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 denominator of 
which is the sum of (c) direct premiums written 
for insurance on property or ris ks everywhere, 
plus (d) premiums written for reinsuran ce 
accepted in respect of property or risks 
everywhere.  For purposes of this paragraph, 
premiums written for reinsurance accepted in 
respect of property or risks in this state, 
whether or not otherwise determinable, may at the

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 suc h ceding company for 
the taxable year. 
5.  The net income or loss remaining afte r 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 sa les 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 roya lties, purchase discounts, and interest on 
accounts receivable relating to or ar ising 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

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 investme nt 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 January 1, 2000, the three factors shall be 
apportioned with property and payroll, each com prising twenty-five 
percent (25%) of the apportionment factor and sales comprisi ng 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 re nted 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 invest ment in 
transportation and other equipment having no

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 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 
ending of the tax period but the Oklahoma Tax 
Commission may require the averaging of monthly 
values during the tax perio d 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

"Compensation", as used in this subsection means those 
paid-for services to the exten t 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 connection with employees 
operating equipment over a fixed route, such as 
railroad employees, airline pilo ts, 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 proportion that time spent in 
Oklahoma bears to total time sp ent 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 taxpayer in 
this state during the tax period, and the denominator

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 personal property have a situ s 
in this state if the property is delivered or 
shipped to a purchaser other tha n 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) 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 interurban 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 portion 
of revenue from interstate transportation 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 deno minator 
of which shall be the total of traffic units o f 
the enterprise or the re venue 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 (1,0 00) cubic feet of natural or 
casinghead gas, as the case may be.

Federal Communications Com mission; 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 b y such 
Commission, the intrastate net incom e shall be 
determined separately in the manner provided by 
such uniform system of accounts and only the 
interstate income shall be su bject 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 attribute s 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 apprecia ble extent in furtherance of the enterprise ; 
or because one or more factors not so prescribed are employed to a 
considerable extent in furtherance of the enterprise; or because of 
other reasons, the Tax Commission is empowered to permit, after a 
showing by taxpayer that an excessive portion of net income has been

insufficient portion of net income has been attributed to Oklahoma, 
the elimination, substitution, or use of ad ditional factors, or 
reduction or increase in the weight of such pres cribed factors. 
Provided, however, that any such variance from such prescribed 
factors which has the effect of increasing the portio n of net income 
attributable to Oklahoma must not be i nherently arbitrary, and 
application of the recomputed final apportio nment to the net income 
of the enterprise must attribute to Oklahoma only a reasonable 
portion thereof. 
6.  For calendar years 1997 a nd 1998, the owner of a new or 
expanded agricultural c ommodity processing facili ty in this state 
may exclude from Oklahoma taxable income, or in the case of an 
individual, the Oklahoma adjusted gross income, fifteen percent 
(15%) of the investment by the o wner in the new or expanded 
agricultural commodity pro cessing facility.  For calendar year 1999, 
and all subsequent years, the percentage, not to exceed fifteen 
percent (15%), available to the owner of a new or expanded 
agricultural commodity processing fa cility in this state claiming 
the exemption shall be a djusted annually so that t he total estimated 
reduction in tax liabili ty does not exceed One Million Dollars 
($1,000,000.00) annually.  The Tax Commission shall promulgate rules 
for determining the perce ntage of the investment which each eligible 
taxpayer may exclude.  The exclusion provided by this paragraph

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
