3.11 	~~(4)~~(5) investigate the tax laws of other states and countries, and formulate and

3.35 	Sec. 6. [270C.331] CRITERIA FOR ASSESSMENT.
4.1 	(a) In determining whether a taxpayer has a nontax purpose for entering into a 
4.2 	transaction pursuant to section 270C.03, subdivision 1, clause (3), the commissioner may 
4.3 	determine that a transaction has a nontax purpose only if:
4.4 	(1) the expected results of a transaction are that the present value of the reasonably 
4.5 	expected pretax profit from the transaction is substantial in relation to the present value 
4.6 	of the expected net tax benefits that would be allowed if the transaction or series of 
4.7 	transactions were respected;
4.8 	(2) the reasonably expected pretax profit from the transaction or series of transactions 
4.9 	exceeds a risk-free rate of return;
4.10 	(3) the nontax purpose is the taxpayer's primary motivation for entering into the 
4.11 	transaction; and
4.12 	(4) the form of the transaction is a reasonable means of attaining that purpose.
4.13 	Fees and other transaction expenses and foreign taxes must be taken into account as 
4.14 	expenses in determining pretax profit. The acquisition of a financial accounting benefit is 
4.15 	a nontax purpose only if the financial accounting benefit is unrelated to the expected tax 
4.16 	effects of a transaction.
4.17 	(b) To overcome the presumption in section 270C.33, subdivision 6, that an order of 
4.18 	the commissioner disallowing the tax effects of a transaction because the commissioner 
4.19 	has determined that the transaction does not have a nontax purpose and economic 
4.20 	substance is correct and valid, the taxpayer must prove the existence of a nontax purpose 
4.21 	and economic substance with clear and convincing evidence.

4.22 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective for taxable years beginning after 
4.23 	December 31, 2010.

4.24 	Sec. 7. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 289A.08, subdivision 3, is amended to read:
4.25 		Subd. 3.Corporations. (a) A corporation that is subject to the state's jurisdiction to 
4.26 	tax under section 290.014, subdivision 5, must file a return~~, except that a foreign operating~~ 
4.27 	~~corporation as defined in section 290.01, subdivision 6b, is not required to file a return~~.
4.28 	(b) Members of a unitary business that are required to file a combined report on one 
4.29 	return must designate a member of the unitary business to be responsible for tax matters, 
4.30 	including the filing of returns, the payment of taxes, additions to tax, penalties, interest, 
4.31 	or any other payment, and for the receipt of refunds of taxes or interest paid in excess of 
4.32 	taxes lawfully due. The designated member must be a member of the unitary business that 
4.33 	is filing the single combined report and either:
4.34 	(1) a corporation that is subject to the taxes imposed by chapter 290; or
4.35 	(2) a corporation that is not subject to the taxes imposed by chapter 290:
5.1 	(i) Such corporation consents by filing the return as a designated member under this 
5.2 	clause to remit taxes, penalties, interest, or additions to tax due from the members of the 
5.3 	unitary business subject to tax, and receive refunds or other payments on behalf of other 
5.4 	members of the unitary business. The member designated under this clause is a "taxpayer" 
5.5 	for the purposes of this chapter and chapter 270C, and is liable for any liability imposed 
5.6 	on the unitary business under this chapter and chapter 290.
5.7 	(ii) If the state does not otherwise have the jurisdiction to tax the member designated 
5.8 	under this clause, consenting to be the designated member does not create the jurisdiction 
5.9 	to impose tax on the designated member, other than as described in item (i).
5.10 	(iii) The member designated under this clause must apply for a business tax account 
5.11 	identification number.
5.12 	(c) The commissioner shall adopt rules for the filing of one return on behalf of the 
5.13 	members of an affiliated group of corporations that are required to file a combined report. 
5.14 	All members of an affiliated group that are required to file a combined report must file one 
5.15 	return on behalf of the members of the group under rules adopted by the commissioner.
5.16 	(d) If a corporation claims on a return that it has paid tax in excess of the amount of 
5.17 	taxes lawfully due, that corporation must include on that return information necessary for 
5.18 	payment of the tax in excess of the amount lawfully due by electronic means.

5.19 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective for taxable years beginning after 
5.20 	December 31, 2010.

5.24 	taxpayer has a transaction without economic substance and nontax purpose as defined in 
5.25 	section 270C.01, a penalty equal to 20 percent of the amount of the disclosed noneconomic 
5.26 	substance transaction understatement must be added to the tax. This subdivision applies to 
5.27 	any income or item that is attributable to any transaction or series of transactions without 
5.28 	economic substance and nontax purpose under section 270C.01.
5.29 	(b) If a taxpayer has a transaction without economic substance and nontax purpose 
5.30 	as defined in section 270C.01, in the case of any portion of an underpayment which is 
5.31 	attributable to one or more nondisclosed noneconomic substance transactions, a penalty 
5.32 	equal to 40 percent of the noneconomic substance transaction understatement must be 
5.33 	added to the tax.
5.34 	(c) For purposes of this subdivision, the term "nondisclosed noneconomic substance 
5.35 	transaction" means a transaction described in section 270C.03, subdivision 1, clause (3),

6.2 	disclosed in the return nor in a statement attached to the return.
6.3 	(d) In no event shall any amendment or supplement to a return of tax be taken into 
6.4 	account for purposes of this subdivision to reduce the noneconomic substance transaction 
6.5 	understatement if the amendment or supplement is filed after the date the taxpayer is first 
6.6 	contacted by the commissioner regarding examination of the return.
6.7 	(e) For purposes of this subdivision, "noneconomic substance transaction 
6.8 	understatement" means the product of:
6.9 	(1) the amount of the increase, if any, in taxable income that results from a difference 
6.10 	between the proper tax treatment of an item to which section 270C.03, subdivision 1, 
6.11 	clause (3) applies and the taxpayer's treatment of that item as shown on the taxpayer's tax 
6.12 	return. For purposes of this clause, any reduction of the excess of deductions allowed for 
6.13 	the taxable year over gross income for that year, and any reduction in the amount of 
6.14 	capital losses which would, without regard to section 1211 of the Internal Revenue Code, 
6.15 	be allowed for that year, must be treated as an increase in taxable income; and
6.16 	(2) the highest rate of tax imposable on the taxpayer under section 290.06 determined 
6.17 	without regard to the understatement.
6.18 	(f) If the noneconomic substance transaction understatement penalty is imposed 
6.19 	under this subdivision, the noneconomic substance transaction understatement penalty 
6.20 	applies in lieu of the penalties imposed under subdivision 27.

6.21 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective for noneconomic substance 
6.22 	transaction understatements assessed after December 31, 2012.

6.26 	the individual is a "qualified individual" as defined in section 911(d)(1) of the Internal 
6.27 	Revenue Code, if the qualified individual notifies the county within three months of

7.4 	substantiate the days spent outside the state.
7.5 	The term "abode" means a dwelling maintained by an individual, whether or not 
7.6 	owned by the individual and whether or not occupied by the individual, and includes a

7.11 	made by an individual within or without the state in determining if the individual is 
7.12 	domiciled in Minnesota.
7.13 	(d) "Part-year resident" means an individual domiciled outside the state, who is not a 
7.14 	resident of the state under paragraph (b), who maintains a place of abode in the state for

7.20 	For the purposes of this paragraph, a day spent in Minnesota for the primary purpose 
7.21 	of receiving medical treatment by the taxpayer, or the spouse, child, or parent of the 
7.22 	taxpayer, is not treated as a day spent in Minnesota. Medical treatment is treatment as 
7.23 	defined in section 213(d)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code.

7.24 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective for taxable years beginning after

7.27 	Sec. 10. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 290.01, subdivision 19b, is amended to read:

7.33 	(2) if included in federal taxable income, the amount of any overpayment of income 
7.34 	tax to Minnesota or to any other state, for any previous taxable year, whether the amount 
7.35 	is received as a refund or as a credit to another taxable year's income tax liability;
8.1 	(3) the amount paid to others, less the amount used to claim the credit allowed under 
8.2 	section 290.0674, not to exceed $1,625 for each qualifying child in grades kindergarten 
8.3 	to 6 and $2,500 for each qualifying child in grades 7 to 12, for tuition, textbooks, and 
8.4 	transportation of each qualifying child in attending an elementary or secondary school 
8.5 	situated in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, or Wisconsin, wherein a 
8.6 	resident of this state may legally fulfill the state's compulsory attendance laws, which 
8.7 	is not operated for profit, and which adheres to the provisions of the Civil Rights Act 
8.8 	of 1964 and chapter 363A. For the purposes of this clause, "tuition" includes fees or 
8.9 	tuition as defined in section 290.0674, subdivision 1, clause (1). As used in this clause, 
8.10 	"textbooks" includes books and other instructional materials and equipment purchased

8.16 	purpose of which is to instill such tenets, doctrines, or worship, nor does it include books 
8.17 	or materials for, or transportation to, extracurricular activities including sporting events, 
8.18 	musical or dramatic events, speech activities, driver's education, or similar programs. No 
8.19 	deduction is permitted for any expense the taxpayer incurred in using the taxpayer's or 
8.20 	the qualifying child's vehicle to provide such transportation for a qualifying child. For

8.23 	(4) income as provided under section 290.0802;

8.34 	of subnational foreign taxes for the taxable year, but not to exceed the total subnational 
8.35 	foreign taxes reported in claiming the foreign tax credit. For purposes of this clause, 
8.36 	"federal foreign tax credit" means the credit allowed under section 27 of the Internal 
9.1 	Revenue Code, and "carryover of subnational foreign taxes" equals the carryover allowed 
9.2 	under section 904(c) of the Internal Revenue Code minus national level foreign taxes to 
9.3 	the extent they exceed the federal foreign tax credit;
9.4 	(8) in each of the five tax years immediately following the tax year in which an 
9.5 	addition is required under subdivision 19a, clause (7), or 19c, clause ~~(15)~~ (14), in the case 
9.6 	of a shareholder of a corporation that is an S corporation, an amount equal to one-fifth

9.12 	cannot be less than zero;
9.13 	(9) job opportunity building zone income as provided under section 469.316;
9.14 	(10) to the extent included in federal taxable income, the amount of compensation

21.26 	taxes based on net income to another state, as provided in paragraphs (b) through (f), 
21.27 	upon income allocated or apportioned to Minnesota, is entitled to a credit for the tax paid 
21.28 	to another state if the tax is actually paid in the taxable year or a subsequent taxable 
21.29 	year. A taxpayer who is a resident of this state pursuant to section 290.01, subdivision 
21.30 	7, paragraph (b) or (d), and who is subject to income tax as a resident in the state of 
21.31 	the individual's domicile is not allowed this credit unless the state of domicile does not 
21.32 	allow a similar credit.
21.33 	(b) For an individual, estate, or trust, the credit is determined by multiplying the tax 
21.34 	payable under this chapter by the ratio derived by dividing the income subject to tax in the 
21.35 	other state that is also subject to tax in Minnesota while a resident of Minnesota by the 
22.1 	taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income, as defined in section 62 of the Internal Revenue 
22.2 	Code, modified by the addition required by section 290.01, subdivision 19a, clause (1), 
22.3 	and the subtraction allowed by section 290.01, subdivision 19b, clause (1), to the extent 
22.4 	the income is allocated or assigned to Minnesota under sections 290.081 and 290.17.
22.5 	(c) If the taxpayer is an athletic team that apportions all of its income under section 
22.6 	290.17, subdivision 5, the credit is determined by multiplying the tax payable under this 
22.7 	chapter by the ratio derived from dividing the total net income subject to tax in the other 
22.8 	state by the taxpayer's Minnesota taxable income.
22.9 	(d) The credit determined under paragraph (b) or (c) shall not exceed the amount of 
22.10 	tax so paid to the other state on the gross income earned within the other state subject to 
22.11 	tax under this chapter, nor shall the allowance of the credit reduce the taxes paid under 
22.12 	this chapter to an amount less than what would be assessed if such income amount was 
22.13 	excluded from taxable net income.
22.14 	(e) In the case of the tax assessed on a lump-sum distribution under section 
22.15 	290.032, the credit allowed under paragraph (a) is the tax assessed by the other state on 
22.16 	the lump-sum distribution that is also subject to tax under section 290.032, and shall 
22.17 	not exceed the tax assessed under section 290.032. To the extent the total lump-sum 
22.18 	distribution defined in section 290.032, subdivision 1, includes lump-sum distributions 
22.19 	received in prior years or is all or in part an annuity contract, the reduction to the tax on 
22.20 	the lump-sum distribution allowed under section 290.032, subdivision 2, includes tax paid 
22.21 	to another state that is properly apportioned to that distribution.
22.22 	(f) If a Minnesota resident reported an item of income to Minnesota and is assessed 
22.23 	tax in such other state on that same income after the Minnesota statute of limitations 
22.24 	has expired, the taxpayer shall receive a credit for that year under paragraph (a), 
22.25 	notwithstanding any statute of limitations to the contrary. The claim for the credit must 
22.26 	be submitted within one year from the date the taxes were paid to the other state. The 
22.27 	taxpayer must submit sufficient proof to show entitlement to a credit.
22.28 	(g) For the purposes of this subdivision, a resident shareholder of a corporation 
22.29 	treated as an "S" corporation under section 290.9725, must be considered to have paid 
22.30 	a tax imposed on the shareholder in an amount equal to the shareholder's pro rata share 
22.31 	of any net income tax paid by the S corporation to another state. For the purposes of the 
22.32 	preceding sentence, the term "net income tax" means any tax imposed on or measured by 
22.33 	a corporation's net income.
22.34 	(h) For the purposes of this subdivision, a resident partner of an entity taxed as 
22.35 	a partnership under the Internal Revenue Code must be considered to have paid a tax 
22.36 	imposed on the partner in an amount equal to the partner's pro rata share of any net income 
23.1 	tax paid by the partnership to another state. For purposes of the preceding sentence, 
23.2 	the term "net income" tax means any tax imposed on or measured by a partnership's 
23.3 	net income.
23.4 	(i) For the purposes of this subdivision, "another state":

23.9 	(j) The limitations on the credit in paragraphs (b), (c), and (d), are imposed on a 
23.10 	state by state basis.
23.11 	(k) For a tax imposed by a province or territory of Canada, the tax for purposes of 
23.12 	this subdivision is the excess of the tax over the amount of the foreign tax credit allowed 
23.13 	under section 27 of the Internal Revenue Code. In determining the amount of the foreign 
23.14 	tax credit allowed, the net income taxes imposed by Canada on the income are deducted 
23.15 	first. Any remaining amount of the allowable foreign tax credit reduces the provincial or 
23.16 	territorial tax that qualifies for the credit under this subdivision.

33.26 	compensation, and are nonrefundable; and
33.27 	(ii) The amount of income to be assigned to Minnesota for an individual who is a 
33.28 	nonresident, and who is an athlete or entertainer not listed in clause (i), for that person's 
33.29 	athletic or entertainment performance in Minnesota shall be determined by assigning to 
33.30 	this state all income from performances or athletic contests in this state.
33.31 	(3) For purposes of this section, amounts received by a nonresident as "retirement 
33.32 	income" as defined in section (b)(1) of the State Income Taxation of Pension Income 
33.33 	Act, Public Law 104-95, are not considered income derived from carrying on a trade 
33.34 	or business or from wages or other compensation for work an employee performed in 
33.35 	Minnesota, and are not taxable under this chapter.
34.1 	(b) Income or gains from tangible property located in this state that is not employed 
34.2 	in the business of the recipient of the income or gains must be assigned to this state.
34.3 	(c) Income or gains from intangible personal property not employed in the business 
34.4 	of the recipient of the income or gains must be assigned to this state if the recipient of the 
34.5 	income or gains is a resident of this state or is a resident trust or estate.
34.6 	Gain on the sale of a partnership interest is allocable to this state in the ratio of the 
34.7 	original cost of partnership tangible property in this state to the original cost of partnership 
34.8 	tangible property everywhere, determined at the time of the sale. If more than 50 percent 
34.9 	of the value of the partnership's assets consists of intangibles, gain or loss from the sale 
34.10 	of the partnership interest is allocated to this state in accordance with the sales factor of 
34.11 	the partnership for its first full tax period immediately preceding the tax period of the 
34.12 	partnership during which the partnership interest was sold.
34.13 	Gain on the sale of an interest in a single member limited liability company that 
34.14 	is disregarded for federal income tax purposes is allocable to this state as if the single 
34.15 	member limited liability company did not exist and the assets of the limited liability 
34.16 	company are personally owned by the sole member.
34.17 	Gain on the sale of goodwill or income from a covenant not to compete that is 
34.18 	connected with a business operating all or partially in Minnesota is allocated to this state 
34.19 	to the extent that the income from the business in the year preceding the year of sale was 
34.20 	assignable to Minnesota under subdivision 3.
34.21 	When an employer pays an employee for a covenant not to compete, the income 
34.22 	allocated to this state is in the ratio of the employee's service in Minnesota in the calendar 
34.23 	year preceding leaving the employment of the employer over the total services performed 
34.24 	by the employee for the employer in that year.
34.25 	(d) Income from winnings on a bet made by an individual while in Minnesota is 
34.26 	assigned to this state. In this paragraph, "bet" has the meaning given in section 609.75,

34.28 	(e) All items of gross income not covered in paragraphs (a) to (d) and not part of the 
34.29 	taxpayer's income from a trade or business shall be assigned to the taxpayer's domicile.
34.30 	(f) For the purposes of this section, working as an employee shall not be considered 
34.31 	to be conducting a trade or business.

34.32 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective for taxable years beginning after 
34.33 	December 31, 2010.

34.34 	Sec. 33. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 290.17, subdivision 3, is amended to read:
35.1 		Subd. 3.Trade or business income; general rule. All income of a trade or 
35.2 	business is subject to apportionment except nonbusiness income. Income ~~derived from~~ 
35.3 	~~carrying on~~ of a trade or business must be ~~assigned~~ apportioned to this state if the trade or 
35.4 	business is conducted wholly within this state, ~~assigned~~ apportioned outside this state if 
35.5 	conducted wholly without this state and apportioned between this state and other states 
35.6 	and countries under this subdivision if conducted partly within and partly without this 
35.7 	state. For purposes of determining whether a trade or business is carried on exclusively 
35.8 	within or without this state:
35.9 	(a) A trade or business physically located exclusively within this state is nevertheless 
35.10 	carried on partly within and partly without this state if any of the principles set forth in 
35.11 	section 290.191 for the allocation of sales or receipts within or without this state when 
35.12 	applied to the taxpayer's situation result in the allocation of any sales or receipts without 
35.13 	this state.
35.14 	(b) A trade or business physically located exclusively without this state is 
35.15 	nevertheless carried on partly within and partly without this state if any of the principles 
35.16 	set forth in section 290.191 for the allocation of sales or receipts within or without this 
35.17 	state when applied to the taxpayer's situation result in the allocation of any sales or 
35.18 	receipts within this state. The jurisdiction to tax such a business under this chapter must 
35.19 	be determined in accordance with sections 290.014 and 290.015.

35.20 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective for taxable years beginning after 
35.21 	December 31, 2010.

35.22 	Sec. 34. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 290.17, subdivision 4, is amended to read:
35.23 		Subd. 4.Unitary business principle. (a) If a trade or business conducted wholly 
35.24 	within this state or partly within and partly without this state is part of a unitary business, 
35.25 	the entire income of the unitary business is subject to apportionment pursuant to section 
35.26 	290.191. Notwithstanding subdivision 2, paragraph (c), none of the income of a unitary 
35.27 	business is considered to be derived from any particular source and none may be allocated 
35.28 	to a particular place except as provided by the applicable apportionment formula. The 
35.29 	provisions of this subdivision do not apply to business income subject to subdivision 5, 
35.30 	income of an insurance company determined under section 290.341, or income of an 
35.31 	investment company determined under section 290.36.
35.32 	(b) The term "unitary business" means business activities or operations which 
35.33 	result in a flow of value between them. The term may be applied within a single legal 
35.34 	entity or between multiple entities and without regard to whether each entity is a sole 
35.35 	proprietorship, a corporation, a partnership or a trust.
36.1 	(c) Unity is presumed whenever there is unity of ownership, operation, and use, 
36.2 	evidenced by centralized management or executive force, centralized purchasing, 
36.3 	advertising, accounting, or other controlled interaction, but the absence of these 
36.4 	centralized activities will not necessarily evidence a nonunitary business. Unity is also 
36.5 	presumed when business activities or operations are of mutual benefit, dependent upon or 
36.6 	contributory to one another, either individually or as a group.
36.7 	(d) Where a business operation conducted in Minnesota is owned by a business 
36.8 	entity that carries on business activity outside the state different in kind from that 
36.9 	conducted within this state, and the other business is conducted entirely outside the state, it 
36.10 	is presumed that the two business operations are unitary in nature, interrelated, connected, 
36.11 	and interdependent unless it can be shown to the contrary.
36.12 	(e) Unity of ownership is not deemed to exist when a corporation is involved unless 
36.13 	that corporation is a member of a group of two or more business entities and more than 50 
36.14 	percent of the voting stock of each member of the group is directly or indirectly owned 
36.15 	by a common owner or by common owners, either corporate or noncorporate, or by one 
36.16 	or more of the member corporations of the group. For this purpose, the term "voting 
36.17 	stock" shall include membership interests of mutual insurance holding companies formed 
36.18 	under section 66A.40.
36.19 	(f) The net income and apportionment factors under section 290.191 or 290.20 of 
36.20 	foreign corporations and other foreign entities which are part of a unitary business shall not 
36.21 	be included in the net income or the apportionment factors of the unitary business, except 
36.22 	that foreign corporations or other foreign entities that are included on a federal income tax 
36.23 	return must be included on the combined report. Income of a foreign partnership or other 
36.24 	foreign entity treated as a partnership included in federal taxable income, as defined in 
36.25 	section 63 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended through the date named in 
36.26 	section 290.01, subdivision 19, and the proportionate amount of apportionment factors, 
36.27 	must be included in the combined report. A foreign corporation or other foreign entity 
36.28 	which is not included on a combined report and which is required to file a return under this 
36.29 	chapter shall file on a separate return basis. ~~The net income and apportionment factors~~ 
36.30 	~~under section 290.191 or 290.20 of foreign operating corporations shall not be included in~~ 
36.31 	~~the net income or the apportionment factors of the unitary business except as provided in~~ 
36.32 	~~paragraph (g).~~
36.33 	~~(g) The adjusted net income of a foreign operating corporation shall be deemed to~~ 
36.34 	~~be paid as a dividend on the last day of its taxable year to each shareholder thereof, in~~ 
36.35 	~~proportion to each shareholder's ownership, with which such corporation is engaged in~~ 
37.1 	~~a unitary business. Such deemed dividend shall be treated as a dividend under section~~ 
37.2 	~~290.21, subdivision 4.~~
37.3 	~~Dividends actually paid by a foreign operating corporation to a corporate shareholder~~ 
37.4 	~~which is a member of the same unitary business as the foreign operating corporation shall~~ 
37.5 	~~be eliminated from the net income of the unitary business in preparing a combined report~~ 
37.6 	~~for the unitary business. The adjusted net income of a foreign operating corporation~~ 
37.7 	~~shall be its net income adjusted as follows:~~
37.8 	~~(1) any taxes paid or accrued to a foreign country, the commonwealth of Puerto~~ 
37.9 	~~Rico, or a United States possession or political subdivision of any of the foregoing shall~~ 
37.10 	~~be a deduction; and~~
37.11 	~~(2) the subtraction from federal taxable income for payments received from foreign~~ 
37.12 	~~corporations or foreign operating corporations under section 290.01, subdivision 19d,~~ 
37.13 	~~clause (10), shall not be allowed.~~
37.14 	~~If a foreign operating corporation incurs a net loss, neither income nor deduction~~ 
37.15 	~~from that corporation shall be included in determining the net income of the unitary~~ 
37.16 	~~business.~~
37.17 	~~(h)~~ (g) For purposes of determining the net income of a unitary business and the 
37.18 	factors to be used in the apportionment of net income pursuant to section 290.191 or 
37.19 	290.20, there must be included only the income and apportionment factors of domestic 
37.20 	corporations or other domestic entities ~~other than foreign operating corporations~~ that are 
37.21 	determined to be part of the unitary business pursuant to this subdivision, notwithstanding 
37.22 	that foreign corporations or other foreign entities might be included in the unitary 
37.23 	business, except that foreign corporations or other foreign entities that are included on a 
37.24 	federal income tax return must be included on the combined report. Income of a foreign 
37.25 	partnership or other foreign entity treated as a partnership included in federal taxable 
37.26 	income, as defined in section 63 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended 
37.27 	through the date named in section 290.01, subdivision 19, and the proportionate amount of 
37.28 	apportionment factors, must be included in the combined report.
37.29 	~~(i) Deductions for expenses, interest, or taxes otherwise allowable under this chapter~~ 
37.30 	~~that are connected with or allocable against dividends, deemed dividends described~~ 
37.31 	~~in paragraph (g), or royalties, fees, or other like income described in section 290.01,~~ 
37.32 	~~subdivision 19d, clause (10), shall not be disallowed.~~
37.33 	~~(j)~~ (h) Each corporation or other entity, except a sole proprietorship, that is part of 
37.34 	a unitary business must file combined reports as the commissioner determines. On the 
37.35 	reports, all intercompany transactions between entities included pursuant to paragraph 
37.36 	~~(h)~~ (g) must be eliminated and the entire net income of the unitary business determined in 
38.1 	accordance with this subdivision is apportioned among the entities by using each entity's 
38.2 	Minnesota factors for apportionment purposes in the numerators of the apportionment 
38.3 	formula and the total factors for apportionment purposes of all entities included pursuant 
38.4 	to paragraph ~~(h)~~ (g) in the denominators of the apportionment formula. All sales of the 
38.5 	unitary business made within Minnesota pursuant to section 290.191 or 290.20 must be 
38.6 	included on the separate combined report of a corporation that is a member of the unitary 
38.7 	business and is subject to the jurisdiction of this state to impose tax under this chapter.
38.8 	~~(k)~~ (i) If a corporation has been divested from a unitary business and is included in a 
38.9 	combined report for a fractional part of the common accounting period of the combined 
38.10 	report:
38.11 	(1) its income includable in the combined report is its income incurred for that part 
38.12 	of the year determined by proration or separate accounting; and
38.13 	(2) its sales, property, and payroll included in the apportionment formula must 
38.14 	be prorated or accounted for separately.

38.15 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective for taxable years beginning after 
38.16 	December 31, 2010.

38.17 	Sec. 35. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 290.191, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
38.18 		Subd. 2.Apportionment formula of general application. (a) Except for those 
38.19 	trades or businesses required to use a different formula under subdivision 3 or section 
38.20 	290.341 or 290.36, and for those trades or businesses that receive permission to use some 
38.21 	other method under section 290.20 or under subdivision 4, a trade or business required 
38.22 	to apportion its net income must apportion its income to this state on the basis of the 
38.23 	percentage obtained by taking the sum of:
38.24 	(1) the percent for the sales factor under paragraph (b) of the percentage which 
38.25 	the sales made within this state in connection with the trade or business during the tax 
38.26 	period are of the total sales wherever made in connection with the trade or business during 
38.27 	the tax period;
38.28 	(2) the percent for the property factor under paragraph (b) of the percentage which 
38.29 	the total tangible property used by the taxpayer in this state in connection with the trade or 
38.30 	business during the tax period is of the total tangible property, wherever located, used by 
38.31 	the taxpayer in connection with the trade or business during the tax period; and
38.32 	(3) the percent for the payroll factor under paragraph (b) of the percentage which 
38.33 	the taxpayer's total payrolls paid or incurred in this state or paid in respect to labor 
38.34 	performed in this state in connection with the trade or business during the tax period are 
39.1 	of the taxpayer's total payrolls paid or incurred in connection with the trade or business

39.15 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective for taxable years beginning after 
39.16 	December 31, 2010.

39.17 	Sec. 36. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 290.191, subdivision 5, is amended to read:
39.18 		Subd. 5.Determination of sales factor. For purposes of this section, the following 
39.19 	rules apply in determining the sales factor.
39.20 	(a) The sales factor includes all sales, gross earnings, or receipts received in the 
39.21 	ordinary course of the business, except that the following types of income are not included 
39.22 	in the sales factor:
39.23 	(1) interest;
39.24 	(2) dividends;
39.25 	(3) sales of capital assets as defined in section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code;
39.26 	(4) sales of property used in the trade or business, except sales of leased property of 
39.27 	a type which is regularly sold as well as leased; and
39.28 	(5) sales of debt instruments as defined in section 1275(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue 
39.29 	Code or sales of stock~~; and~~.
39.30 	~~(6) royalties, fees, or other like income of a type which qualify for a subtraction from~~ 
39.31 	~~federal taxable income under section 290.01, subdivision 19d(10).~~
39.32 	(b) Sales of tangible personal property are made within this state if the property is 
39.33 	received by a purchaser at a point within this state, and the taxpayer is taxable in this state, 
39.34 	regardless of the f.o.b. point, other conditions of the sale, or the ultimate destination 
39.35 	of the property.
40.1 	(c) Tangible personal property delivered to a common or contract carrier or foreign 
40.2 	vessel for delivery to a purchaser in another state or nation is a sale in that state or nation, 
40.3 	regardless of f.o.b. point or other conditions of the sale.
40.4 	(d) Notwithstanding paragraphs (b) and (c), when intoxicating liquor, wine, 
40.5 	fermented malt beverages, cigarettes, or tobacco products are sold to a purchaser who is 
40.6 	licensed by a state or political subdivision to resell this property only within the state of 
40.7 	ultimate destination, the sale is made in that state.
40.8 	(e) Sales made by or through a corporation that is qualified as a domestic 
40.9 	international sales corporation under section 992 of the Internal Revenue Code are not 
40.10 	considered to have been made within this state.
40.11 	(f) Sales, rents, royalties, and other income in connection with real property is 
40.12 	attributed to the state in which the property is located.
40.13 	(g) Receipts from the lease or rental of tangible personal property, including finance 
40.14 	leases and true leases, must be attributed to this state if the property is located in this 
40.15 	state and to other states if the property is not located in this state. Receipts from the 
40.16 	lease or rental of moving property including, but not limited to, motor vehicles, rolling 
40.17 	stock, aircraft, vessels, or mobile equipment are included in the numerator of the receipts 
40.18 	factor to the extent that the property is used in this state. The extent of the use of moving 
40.19 	property is determined as follows:
40.20 	(1) A motor vehicle is used wholly in the state in which it is registered.
40.21 	(2) The extent that rolling stock is used in this state is determined by multiplying 
40.22 	the receipts from the lease or rental of the rolling stock by a fraction, the numerator of 
40.23 	which is the miles traveled within this state by the leased or rented rolling stock and the 
40.24 	denominator of which is the total miles traveled by the leased or rented rolling stock.
40.25 	(3) The extent that an aircraft is used in this state is determined by multiplying the 
40.26 	receipts from the lease or rental of the aircraft by a fraction, the numerator of which is 
40.27 	the number of landings of the aircraft in this state and the denominator of which is the 
40.28 	total number of landings of the aircraft.
40.29 	(4) The extent that a vessel, mobile equipment, or other mobile property is used in 
40.30 	the state is determined by multiplying the receipts from the lease or rental of the property 
40.31 	by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the taxable year the 
40.32 	property was in this state and the denominator of which is the total days in the taxable year.
40.33 	(h) Royalties and other income not described in paragraph (a), clause (6), received 
40.34 	for the use of or for the privilege of using intangible property, including patents, 
40.35 	know-how, formulas, designs, processes, patterns, copyrights, trade names, service names, 
40.36 	franchises, licenses, contracts, customer lists, or similar items, must be attributed to the 
41.1 	state in which the property is used by the purchaser. If the property is used in more 
41.2 	than one state, the royalties or other income must be apportioned to this state pro rata 
41.3 	according to the portion of use in this state. If the portion of use in this state cannot be 
41.4 	determined, the royalties or other income must be excluded from both the numerator 
41.5 	and the denominator. Intangible property is used in this state if the purchaser uses the 
41.6 	intangible property or the rights therein in the regular course of its business operations in 
41.7 	this state, regardless of the location of the purchaser's customers.
41.8 	(i) Sales of intangible property are made within the state in which the property is 
41.9 	used by the purchaser. If the property is used in more than one state, the sales must be 
41.10 	apportioned to this state pro rata according to the portion of use in this state. If the 
41.11 	portion of use in this state cannot be determined, the sale must be excluded from both the 
41.12 	numerator and the denominator of the sales factor. Intangible property is used in this 
41.13 	state if the purchaser used the intangible property in the regular course of its business 
41.14 	operations in this state.
41.15 	(j) Receipts from the performance of services must be attributed to the state where 
41.16 	the services are received. For the purposes of this section, receipts from the performance 
41.17 	of services provided to a corporation, partnership, or trust may only be attributed to a state 
41.18 	where it has a fixed place of doing business. If the state where the services are received is 
41.19 	not readily determinable or is a state where the corporation, partnership, or trust receiving 
41.20 	the service does not have a fixed place of doing business, the services shall be deemed 
41.21 	to be received at the location of the office of the customer from which the services were 
41.22 	ordered in the regular course of the customer's trade or business. If the ordering office 
41.23 	cannot be determined, the services shall be deemed to be received at the office of the 
41.24 	customer to which the services are billed.
41.25 	(k) For the purposes of this subdivision and subdivision 6, paragraph (l), receipts 
41.26 	from management, distribution, or administrative services performed by a corporation 
41.27 	or trust for a fund of a corporation or trust regulated under United States Code, title 15, 
41.28 	sections 80a-1 through 80a-64, must be attributed to the state where the shareholder of 
41.29 	the fund resides. Under this paragraph, receipts for services attributed to shareholders are 
41.30 	determined on the basis of the ratio of: (1) the average of the outstanding shares in the 
41.31 	fund owned by shareholders residing within Minnesota at the beginning and end of each 
41.32 	year; and (2) the average of the total number of outstanding shares in the fund at the 
41.33 	beginning and end of each year. Residence of the shareholder, in the case of an individual, 
41.34 	is determined by the mailing address furnished by the shareholder to the fund. Residence 
41.35 	of the shareholder, when the shares are held by an insurance company as a depositor for 
41.36 	the insurance company policyholders, is the mailing address of the policyholders. In 
42.1 	the case of an insurance company holding the shares as a depositor for the insurance 
42.2 	company policyholders, if the mailing address of the policyholders cannot be determined 
42.3 	by the taxpayer, the receipts must be excluded from both the numerator and denominator. 
42.4 	Residence of other shareholders is the mailing address of the shareholder.

42.5 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective for taxable years beginning after 
42.6 	December 31, 2010.

42.7 	Sec. 37. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 290.21, subdivision 4, is amended to read:

44.5 	Sec. 38. [290.341] INSURANCE COMPANIES; REPORT OF NET INCOME; 
44.6 	COMPUTATION OF AMOUNT OF INCOME ALLOCABLE TO STATE.
44.7 		Subdivision 1.Computation of net income. (a) The net income of insurance 
44.8 	companies taxable under this chapter is computed as follows.
44.9 	(b) Each life insurance company must report to the commissioner the life insurance 
44.10 	company taxable net income as defined in section 801(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, 
44.11 	incorporating any elections made by the taxpayer in determining life insurance company 
44.12 	taxable income for federal income tax purposes.
44.13 	(c) Each insurance company other than a life insurance company must report to the 
44.14 	commissioner its federal taxable income as defined in section 832 of the Internal Revenue 
44.15 	Code, or its taxable investment income as defined in section 832 of the Internal Revenue 
44.16 	Code, incorporating any elections made by the taxpayer in accordance with the Internal 
44.17 	Revenue Code in determining federal taxable income or taxable investment income for 
44.18 	federal income tax purposes.
44.19 	(d) The life insurance company taxable net income, federal taxable income, or 
44.20 	taxable investment income so reported is subject to the modifications provided in section 
44.21 	290.01, subdivisions 19c to 19f.
44.22 		Subd. 2.Apportionment of taxable net income. (a) The commissioner shall 
44.23 	compute from net income the taxable net income of insurance companies by apportioning 
44.24 	to this state net income on the ratio of gross premiums collected by them during the 
44.25 	taxable year from old and new business within this state, including reinsurance premiums, 
44.26 	to the total gross premiums collected by them during that year from their entire old and 
44.27 	new business, including reinsurance premiums; the commissioner shall add to the taxable 
44.28 	net income so apportioned to this state the amount of any taxes on premiums paid by the 
44.29 	company by virtue of any law of this state, other than the surcharge on premiums imposed 
44.30 	by section 297I.06 and the surcharge imposed by section 168A.40, subdivision 3, which 
44.31 	shall have been deducted from gross income by the company in arriving at its total net 
44.32 	income under the provisions of section 810(b) or 832 of the Internal Revenue Code.
44.33 	(b) For purposes of determining the Minnesota apportionment percentage, premiums 
44.34 	from reinsurance contracts in connection with property in or liability arising out of 
44.35 	activity in, or in connection with the lives or health of Minnesota residents must be 
45.1 	attributed to Minnesota and premiums from reinsurance contracts in connection with 
45.2 	property in or liability arising out of activity in, or in connection with the lives or health of 
45.3 	non-Minnesota residents must be attributed outside of Minnesota. Reinsurance premiums 
45.4 	are presumed to be received for a Minnesota risk and are assigned to Minnesota, if:
45.5 	(1) the reinsurance contract is assumed for a company domiciled in Minnesota; and
45.6 	(2) the taxpayer, upon request of the commissioner, fails to provide reliable records 
45.7 	indicating the reinsured contract covered non-Minnesota risks.
45.8 	For purposes of this paragraph, "Minnesota risk" means coverage in connection with 
45.9 	property in or liability arising out of activity in Minnesota, or in connection with the lives 
45.10 	or health of Minnesota residents.
45.11 	(c) The apportionment method prescribed by paragraph (b) must be presumed to 
45.12 	fairly and correctly determine the taxpayer's taxable net income. If the method prescribed 
45.13 	in paragraph (b) does not fairly reflect all or any part of taxable net income, the taxpayer 
45.14 	may petition for or the commissioner may require the determination of taxable net 
45.15 	income by use of another method if that method fairly reflects taxable net income. A 
45.16 	petition within the meaning of this section must be filed by the taxpayer on a form as the 
45.17 	commissioner requires.
45.18 		Subd. 3.Credit. An insurance company shall receive a credit against the tax 
45.19 	computed under sections 290.06, subdivision 1, and 290.0921, equal to any taxes based 
45.20 	on premiums imposed by section 297I.05 and paid by the insurance company that are 
45.21 	attributable to the period for which the tax under this chapter is imposed.
45.22 		Subd. 4.Guaranty association assessment offset. (a) An insurance company may 
45.23 	offset against its corporate franchise tax liability under this chapter any amount paid 
45.24 	pursuant to assessments made for insolvencies which occur after December 31, 2010, 
45.25 	under chapter 60C, and any amount paid pursuant to assessments made after December 
45.26 	31, 2010, under chapter 61B, as follows.
45.27 	(b) Each such assessment must give rise to an amount of offset equal to 20 percent 
45.28 	of the amount of the assessment for each of the five calendar years following the year in 
45.29 	which the assessment was paid.
45.30 	(c) The amount of offset initially determined for each taxable year is the sum of the 
45.31 	amounts determined under paragraph (b) for that taxable year.
45.32 	(d) Each year the commissioner of revenue shall compare total guaranty association 
45.33 	assessments levied over the preceding five calendar years to the sum of all premium 
45.34 	tax and corporate franchise tax revenues collected from insurance companies without 
45.35 	reduction for any guaranty association assessment offset in the preceding calendar year, 
45.36 	referred to in this subdivision as "preceding year insurance tax revenues." If total guaranty 
46.1 	association assessments levied over the preceding five years exceed the preceding year 
46.2 	insurance tax revenues, insurance companies are allowed only a proportionate part of the 
46.3 	corporate franchise tax offset calculated under paragraph (c) for the current calendar 
46.4 	year. The proportionate part of the corporate franchise tax offset allowed in the current 
46.5 	calendar year is determined by multiplying the amount calculated under paragraph (c) by a 
46.6 	fraction, the numerator of which equals the preceding year insurance tax revenues and 
46.7 	the denominator of which equals total guaranty association assessments levied over the 
46.8 	preceding five-year period. The proportionate part of the premium tax offset that is not 
46.9 	allowed is carried forward to subsequent tax years and added to the amount of corporate 
46.10 	franchise tax offset calculated under paragraph (c) before application of the limitation 
46.11 	imposed by this paragraph. Any amount carried forward from prior years must be allowed 
46.12 	before allowance of the offset for the current year calculated under paragraph (c). The 
46.13 	corporate franchise tax offset limitation must be calculated separately for (1) insurance 
46.14 	companies subject to assessment under chapter 60C, and (2) insurance companies subject 
46.15 	to assessment under chapter 61B. When the corporate franchise tax offset is limited by 
46.16 	this provision, the commissioner of revenue shall notify affected insurance companies 
46.17 	before February 1 for purposes of filing premium and corporate franchise tax returns. The 
46.18 	guaranty associations created under chapters 60C and 61B must provide the commissioner 
46.19 	of revenue with the necessary information on guaranty association assessments. The 
46.20 	limitation in this paragraph is effective for offsets allowable in 2011 and thereafter.
46.21 	(e) If the offset determined by the application of paragraphs (b) and (c) exceeds the 
46.22 	greater of the insurance company's corporate franchise tax liability under this chapter prior 
46.23 	to allowance of the credit provided by subdivision 3 or its premium tax liability under 
46.24 	chapter 297I, then the insurance company may carry forward the excess, referred to in this 
46.25 	subdivision as the "carryforward credit," to subsequent taxable years. The carryforward 
46.26 	credit must be allowed as an offset against corporate franchise tax liability for the first 
46.27 	succeeding year to the extent that the corporate franchise tax liability for that year exceeds 
46.28 	the amount of the allowable offset for the year determined under paragraphs (b) and (c). 
46.29 	The carryforward credit must be reduced, but not below zero, by the greater of the amount 
46.30 	of the carryforward credit allowed as an offset against the corporate franchise tax pursuant 
46.31 	to this paragraph or the amount of the carryforward credit allowed as an offset against the 
46.32 	insurance company's premium tax liability under chapter 297I pursuant to section 297I.20, 
46.33 	subdivision 1, paragraph (b), clause (4). The remainder, if any, of the carryforward credit 
46.34 	must be carried forward to succeeding taxable years until the entire carryforward credit 
46.35 	has been credited against the insurance company's liability for corporate franchise tax 
46.36 	under this chapter and premium tax under chapter 297I.
47.1 	(f) A refund paid by the Minnesota life and health insurance guaranty association 
47.2 	to member insurers under section 61B.24, subdivision 6, with respect to an assessment 
47.3 	payment which has been offset against taxes must reduce the carryforward credit 
47.4 	determined under paragraph (e) and, if the refund exceeds the amount of the carryforward 
47.5 	credit, must be repaid by the insurers to the extent of the offset to the state in the manner 
47.6 	the commissioner of revenue requires.

47.7 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective for taxable years beginning after 
47.8 	December 31, 2010.

47.9 	Sec. 39. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 290.9201, subdivision 11, is amended to 
47.10 	read:
47.11 		Subd. 11.~~Exception~~ Exemption from withholding ~~for public speakers~~ and tax.

47.14 	the speaker is less than $2,000 or is only a payment of the speaker's expenses~~.~~; or
47.15 	(2) compensation paid to an entertainment entity if the compensation paid to the 
47.16 	entertainment entity is less than $600.
47.17 	(b) Compensation paid to a public speaker or an entertainment entity that is not 
47.18 	subject to withholding tax under this subdivision is not subject to tax under subdivision 2 
47.19 	unless the total compensation received by the public speaker or entertainment entity in the 
47.20 	tax year exceeds the individual income tax filing requirements for a nonresident individual 
47.21 	under section 289A.08, subdivision 1, paragraph (a), clause (1).

47.22 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective for compensation paid or received 
47.23 	after December 31, 2011.

48.7 	(5) "Minnesota gross estate" means the federal gross estate of a decedent after (a) 
48.8 	excluding therefrom any property included therein which has its situs outside Minnesota, 
48.9 	and (b) including therein any property omitted from the federal gross estate which is 
48.10 	includable therein, has its situs in Minnesota, and was not disclosed to federal taxing 
48.11 	authorities.

48.17 	state, then any person in actual or constructive possession of any property having a situs in 
48.18 	this state which is included in the federal gross estate of the decedent shall be deemed

49.5 	(iv) a trust. 

49.6 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective for estates of decedents dying after 
49.7 	December 31, 2010.

49.8 	Sec. 41. Minnesota Statutes 2010, section 297I.20, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
49.9 		Subdivision 1.Guaranty association assessment offsets. (a) An insurance 
49.10 	company may offset against its premium tax liability to this state any amount paid 
49.11 	for assessments made for insolvencies which occur after July 31, 1994, under sections 
49.12 	60C.01 to 60C.22; and any amount paid for assessments made after July 31, 1994, under 
49.13 	Minnesota Statutes 1992, sections 61B.01 to 61B.16, or under sections 61B.18 to 61B.32
49.14 	as follows: 
49.15 	(1) Each such assessment shall give rise to an amount of offset equal to 20 percent 
49.16 	of the amount of the assessment for each of the five calendar years following the year in 
49.17 	which the assessment was paid.
49.18 	(2) The amount of offset initially determined for each taxable year is the sum of the 
49.19 	amounts determined under clause (1) for that taxable year.
49.20 	(b)(1) Each year the commissioner shall compare total guaranty association 
49.21 	assessments levied over the preceding five calendar years to the sum of all premium 
49.22 	tax and corporate franchise tax revenues collected from insurance companies, without 
49.23 	reduction for any guaranty association assessment offset in the preceding calendar year, 
49.24 	referred to in this subdivision as "preceding year insurance tax revenues."
49.25 	(2) If total guaranty association assessments levied over the preceding five years 
49.26 	exceed the preceding year insurance tax revenues, insurance companies must be allowed 
49.27 	only a proportionate part of the premium tax offset calculated under paragraph (a) for 
49.28 	the current calendar year.
49.29 	(3) The proportionate part of the premium tax offset allowed in the current calendar 
49.30 	year is determined by multiplying the amount calculated under paragraph (a) by a fraction. 
49.31 	The numerator of the fraction equals the preceding year insurance tax revenues, and its 
49.32 	denominator equals total guaranty association assessments levied over the preceding 
49.33 	five-year period.
49.34 	(4) The proportionate part of the premium tax offset that is not allowed must be 
49.35 	carried forward to subsequent tax years and added to the amount of premium tax offset 
50.1 	calculated under paragraph (a) prior to application of the limitation imposed by this 
50.2 	paragraph.
50.3 	(5) Any amount carried forward from prior years must be allowed before allowance 
50.4 	of the offset for the current year calculated under paragraph (a).
50.5 	(6) The premium tax offset limitation must be calculated separately for (i) insurance 
50.6 	companies subject to assessment under sections 60C.01 to 60C.22, and (ii) insurance 
50.7 	companies subject to assessment under Minnesota Statutes 1992, sections 61B.01 to 
50.8 	61B.16, or 61B.18 to 61B.32. 
50.9 	(7) When the premium tax offset is limited by this provision, the commissioner 
50.10 	shall notify affected insurance companies on a timely basis for purposes of completing 
50.11 	premium and corporate franchise tax returns.
50.12 	(8) The guaranty associations created under sections 60C.01 to 60C.22, Minnesota 
50.13 	Statutes 1992, sections 61B.01 to 61B.16, and 61B.18 to 61B.32, shall provide the 
50.14 	commissioner with the necessary information on guaranty association assessments. 
50.15 	(c)(1) If the offset determined by the application of paragraphs (a) and (b) exceeds 
50.16 	the greater of the insurance company's premium tax liability under this section or its 
50.17 	corporate franchise tax liability under chapter 290 prior to allowance of the credit for 
50.18 	premium taxes, then the insurance company may carry forward the excess, referred to in 
50.19 	this subdivision as the "carryforward credit" to subsequent taxable years.
50.20 	(2) The carryforward credit is allowed as an offset against premium tax liability for 
50.21 	the first succeeding year to the extent that the premium tax liability for that year exceeds 
50.22 	the amount of the allowable offset for the year determined under paragraphs (a) and (b).
50.23 	(3) The carryforward credit must be reduced, but not below zero, by the greater of 
50.24 	the amount of the carryforward credit allowed as an offset against the premium tax under 
50.25 	this paragraph or the amount of the carryforward credit allowed as an offset against the 
50.26 	insurance company's corporate franchise tax liability under section 290.341, subdivision 
50.27 	5. The remainder, if any, of the carryforward credit must be carried forward to succeeding 
50.28 	taxable years until the entire carryforward credit has been credited against the insurance 
50.29 	company's liability for premium tax under this chapter and corporate franchise tax under 
50.30 	chapter 290 if applicable for that taxable year.
