Sec. 2.

Minnesota Statutes 2008, section 275.025, subdivision 1, is amended to read:


Subdivision 1.

Levy amount.

The state general levy is levied against
commercial-industrial property and seasonal residential recreational property, as defined
in this section. The state general levy base amount is $592,000,000 for taxes payable in
2002. For taxes payable in subsequent years, the levy base amount is increased each year
by multiplying the levy base amount for the prior year by the sum of one plus the rate of
increase, if any, in the implicit price deflator for government consumption expenditures
and gross investment for state and local governments prepared by the Bureau of Economic
Analysts of the United States Department of Commerce for the 12-month period ending
March 31 of the year prior to the year the taxes are payable. The tax under this section is
not treated as a local tax rate under section 469.177 and is not the levy of a governmental
unit under chapters 276A and 473F.

new text begin In setting the rate, the commissioner shall exclude the tax capacity of property
described in section 473.625 from the tax base.
new text end The commissioner shall increase or
decrease the preliminary or final rate for a year as necessary to account for errors and tax
base changes that affected a preliminary or final rate for either of the two preceding years.
Adjustments are allowed to the extent that the necessary information is available to the
commissioner at the time the rates for a year must be certified, and for the following
reasons:

(1) an erroneous report of taxable value by a local official;

(2) an erroneous calculation by the commissioner; and

(3) an increase or decrease in taxable value for commercial-industrial or seasonal
residential recreational property reported on the abstracts of tax lists submitted under
section 275.29 that was not reported on the abstracts of assessment submitted under
section 270C.89 for the same year.

The commissioner may, but need not, make adjustments if the total difference in the tax
levied for the year would be less than $100,000.

new text begin EFFECTIVE DATE. new text end

new text begin This section is effective beginning for taxes payable in 2010.
new text end

Sec. 3.

Subd. 2.

Commercial-industrial tax capacity.

For the purposes of this section,
"commercial-industrial tax capacity" means the tax capacity of all taxable property
classified as class 3 or class 5(1) under section 273.13, except for electric generation
attached machinery under class 3 deleted text begin and property described in section 473.625deleted text end . County
commercial-industrial tax capacity amounts are not adjusted for the captured net tax
capacity of a tax increment financing district under section 469.177, subdivision 2, the
net tax capacity of transmission lines deducted from a local government's total net tax
capacity under section 273.425, or fiscal disparities contribution and distribution net
tax capacities under chapter 276A or 473F.

1 by the percentage determined pursuant to the provisions of section 1(f) of the Internal
Revenue Code, except that in section 1(f)(3)(B) the word "2008" must be substituted for

the Administrative Procedure Act contained in chapter 14. The fee amounts as adjusted
must be rounded to the nearest $10 amounts and the threshold amounts must be adjusted
to the nearest $10,000 amounts. For fee amounts that end in $5, the amount is rounded up

Sec. 22.

Minnesota Statutes 2008, section 290.17, subdivision 4, is amended to read:


Subd. 4.

Unitary business principle.

(a) If a trade or business conducted wholly
within this state or partly within and partly without this state is part of a unitary business,
the entire income of the unitary business is subject to apportionment pursuant to section
290.191. Notwithstanding subdivision 2, paragraph (c), none of the income of a unitary
business is considered to be derived from any particular source and none may be allocated
to a particular place except as provided by the applicable apportionment formula. The
provisions of this subdivision do not apply to business income subject to subdivision 5,
income of an insurance company, or income of an investment company determined under
section 290.36.

(b) The term "unitary business" means business activities or operations which
result in a flow of value between them. The term may be applied within a single legal
entity or between multiple entities and without regard to whether each entity is a sole
proprietorship, a corporation, a partnership or a trust.

(c) Unity is presumed whenever there is unity of ownership, operation, and use,
evidenced by centralized management or executive force, centralized purchasing,
advertising, accounting, or other controlled interaction, but the absence of these
centralized activities will not necessarily evidence a nonunitary business. Unity is also
presumed when business activities or operations are of mutual benefit, dependent upon or
contributory to one another, either individually or as a group.

(d) Where a business operation conducted in Minnesota is owned by a business
entity that carries on business activity outside the state different in kind from that
conducted within this state, and the other business is conducted entirely outside the state, it
is presumed that the two business operations are unitary in nature, interrelated, connected,
and interdependent unless it can be shown to the contrary.

(e) Unity of ownership is not deemed to exist when a corporation is involved unless
that corporation is a member of a group of two or more business entities and more than 50
percent of the voting stock of each member of the group is directly or indirectly owned
by a common owner or by common owners, either corporate or noncorporate, or by one
or more of the member corporations of the group. For this purpose, the term "voting
stock" shall include membership interests of mutual insurance holding companies formed
under section 66A.40.

(f) The net income and apportionment factors under section 290.191 or 290.20 of
foreign corporations and other foreign entities which are part of a unitary business shall
not be included in the net income or the apportionment factors of the unitary business.
A foreign corporation or other foreign entity which is required to file a return under this
chapter shall file on a separate return basis. deleted text begin The net income and apportionment factors
under section 290.191 or 290.20 of foreign operating corporations shall not be included in

paragraph (g).

deleted text begin (g) The adjusted net income of a foreign operating corporation shall be deemed to
be paid as a dividend on the last day of its taxable year to each shareholder thereof, in
proportion to each shareholder's ownership, with which such corporation is engaged in
a unitary business. Such deemed dividend shall be treated as a dividend under section
290.21, subdivision 4.
deleted text end

deleted text begin Dividends actually paid by a foreign operating corporation to a corporate shareholder
which is a member of the same unitary business as the foreign operating corporation shall
be eliminated from the net income of the unitary business in preparing a combined report

Rico, or a United States possession or political subdivision of any of the foregoing shall

to paragraph deleted text begin (h)deleted text end new text begin (g)new text end in the denominators of the apportionment formula.
