Subd. 6.

Combined net receipts tax.

(a) In addition to the taxes imposed under subdivision 1, a tax is imposed on the combined net receipts of the organization. As used in this section, "combined net receipts" is the sum of the organization's gross receipts from lawful gambling less gross receipts directly derived from the conduct of paper bingo, raffles, and paddlewheels, as defined in section 297E.01, subdivision 8, and less the net prizes actually paid, other than prizes actually paid for paper bingo, raffles, and paddlewheels, for the fiscal year. The combined net receipts of an organization are subject to a tax computed according to the following schedule:

If the combined net receipts for the fiscal year are: The tax is:
Not over $87,500 nine percent
Over $87,500, but not over $122,500 $7,875 plus 18 percent of the amount over $87,500, but not over $122,500
Over $122,500, but not over $157,500 $14,175 plus 27 percent of the amount over $122,500, but not over $157,500
Over $157,500 $23,625 plus 36 percent of the amount over $157,500

(b) Gross receipts derived from sports-themed tipboards are exempt from taxation under this section. For purposes of this paragraph, a sports-themed tipboard means a sports-themed tipboard as defined in section 349.12, subdivision 34, under which the winning numbers are determined by the numerical outcome of a professional sporting event.
