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 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 everywhere. For purposes of
this subsection, the term "direct premiums
written" means the total amount of direct
premiums written, assessments and annuity
considerations as reported for the taxable year
on the annual statement filed by the company with
the Insurance Commissioner in the form approved
by the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners, or such other form as may be
prescribed in lieu thereof,
(2) if the principal source of premiums written by an
insurance company consists of premiums for
reinsurance accepted by it, the taxable income of
such company shall be apportioned to this state

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 risks everywhere,
plus (d) premiums written for reinsurance
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
election of the company be determined on the
basis of the proportion which premiums written
for insurance accepted from companies
commercially domiciled in this state bears to
premiums written for reinsurance accepted from
all sources, or alternatively in the proportion
which the sum of the direct premiums written for
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

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 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 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 Dollars ($200,000,000.00)
over a period not to exceed three (3) years, and such expansion is

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 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 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 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 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 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 pilots, or bus
drivers, in this state only a part of the time,
in the proportion that mileage traveled in 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 proportion that time spent in
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
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 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 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.
(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
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 this state or the revenue
allocated to 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 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) 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 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 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 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 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 attributed to this state, or require, when in its
judgment an insufficient portion of net income has been attributed
to this state, the elimination, substitution, or use of additional
factors, or reduction or increase 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 this state must not be inherently
arbitrary, and application of the recomputed final apportionment to
the net income of the enterprise must attribute to 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
($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 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 factor such excess into

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
buildings, 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 dairy operation that
requires a depreciable investment of at least Two

produces milk from dairy cows. The term does not
include a facility that provides only, and nothing
more than, storage, cleaning, drying or transportation

Section 172(b)(G). However, the amount of the net operating loss
carryback shall not exceed the lesser of:
a. Sixty Thousand Dollars ($60,000.00), or

tax purposes.
B. 1. The taxable income of any corporation shall be further

taxable income. Such corporations shall be allowed a deduction for
depreciation of assets placed into service after December 31, 1981,
in accordance with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, 26
U.S.C., Section 1 et seq., in effect immediately prior to the

Section 856(d)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code, shall apply in
determining the ownership of stock, assets, or net profits of any
person.
4. A real estate investment trust that does not become
regularly traded on an established securities market within one (1)
year of the date on which it first becomes a real estate investment
trust shall be deemed not to have been regularly traded on an
established securities market, retroactive to the date it first
became a real estate investment trust, and shall file an amended
return reflecting such retroactive designation for any tax year or
part year occurring during its initial year of status as a real
estate investment trust. For purposes of this subsection, a real
estate investment trust becomes a real estate investment trust on
the first day it has both met the requirements of Section 856 of the
Internal Revenue Code and has elected to be treated as a real estate
investment trust pursuant to Section 856(c)(1) of the Internal
Revenue Code.
