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 sta te and such expansion has an investment cost
equaling or exceeding Two Hundred Mi llion 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 factor and sales comprising fifty
percent (50%) of the apportionment factor. The apportionment
factors shall be computed as follows:
a. The property factor is a fr action, 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.

carried thereon, airplanes, salespersons'
automobiles and other simi lar equipment, in the
proportion that miles traveled in Oklahoma this
state 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 ne t annual rental
rate. Net annual rental rate is the annual
rental rate paid by t he 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 beginni ng 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

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 this state 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 p roportion that time spent in
Oklahoma this state 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 taxpayer in

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 personal property have a situs
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 Freight on Board (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 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.

numerator of the fraction shall include a portion
of revenue from interstate transportation in the
proportion that intersta te mileage traveled in
Oklahoma this state 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 this state or the
revenue allocated to Oklahoma this state 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 appropriat e 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

interstate revenue as is allocated pursuant to
the accounting procedures prescribed by the
Federal Communications Commissi on; 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 sha ll 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 Fed eral
Communications Commission.
In any case where the apportionment of the three factors
prescribed in this paragraph attributes to Oklahoma this state 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 not so prescribed
are employed to a consid erable 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 attributed to Oklahoma this state, or
require, when in its judgment an insufficient portion of net income
has been attributed to Oklahoma this state, the elimination,
substitution, or use of additional factors, or reduction or increas e
in the weight of such prescribed 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
this state must not be inherently arbitrary, and appli cation of the
recomputed final apportionment to the net income of the enterprise
must attribute to Oklahoma this state only a reasonable portion
thereof.
6. For calendar years 1997 and 1998, the owner of a new or
expanded agricultural commodity processing facility 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 owner in the new or expanded
agricultural commodity processing 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 facility in this state claiming
the exemption shall be adjusted annually so that the total estimated
reduction in tax liability does not exceed One Million Dollars

for determining the percentage of the investment which each eligible
taxpayer may exclude. The ex clusion 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 authorized by this
paragraph exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in any
calendar year, the Tax Com mission shall permit any excess over One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and shal l 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 paragraph:
a. "Agricultural commodity processing facility" means
building buildings, structures, fixtur es and
