 19.6   zone, an individual operating a trade or business in a tax free 
 19.7   zone, and an individual making a qualifying investment in a 
 19.8   business operating in a tax free zone qualifies for the 
 19.9   exemptions from the taxes imposed under chapter 290, as provided 
 19.10  in this section.  The exemptions provided under this section 
 19.11  apply only to the extent that the income otherwise would be

 19.23  zone.  An individual who has not satisfied this test by the end 
 19.24  of the taxable year is not a resident for the taxable year. 
 19.25     Subd. 3.  [RESIDENT INDIVIDUALS.] A resident of a tax free

 19.31     (2) net income from the operation of a trade or business 
 19.32  received or accrued during the period when the individual 
 19.33  qualified as a resident of the zone; 
 19.34     (3) interest and dividends received during a period when 
 19.35  the individual qualified as a resident of the zone;

 20.12  taxes imposed under chapter 290 on net rents derived from real

 20.14  year in which the zone was designated a tax free zone.  If 
 20.15  tangible personal property was used both within and outside of 
 20.16  the zone, the exemption amount for the net rental income must be 
 20.17  multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number 
 20.18  of days the property was used in the zone and the denominator of 
 20.19  which is the total days. 
 20.20     Subd. 5.  [BUSINESS INCOME; NONRESIDENTS.] An individual 
 20.21  who is not a resident of a tax free zone is exempt from the 
 20.22  taxes imposed under chapter 290 on net income from the operation 
 20.23  of a qualified business in a tax free zone.  If the trade or 
 20.24  business is carried on within and without the zone and the 
 20.25  individual is not a resident of Minnesota, the exemption must be 
 20.26  apportioned based on the zone percentage for the taxable year.  
 20.27  If the trade or business is carried on within and without the 
 20.28  zone and the individual is a resident of Minnesota, the 
 20.29  exemption must be apportioned based on the zone percentage for 
 20.30  the taxable year, except the ratios under section 469.310, 
 20.31  subdivision 9, clause (1), items (i) and (ii), must use the 
 20.32  denominators of the property and payroll factors determined 
 20.33  under section 290.191. 
 20.34     Subd. 6.  [CAPITAL GAINS.] (a) An individual, whether or 
 20.35  not the individual is a resident of a tax free zone, is exempt 
 20.36  from the taxes imposed under chapter 290 on: 
 21.1      (1) Net gain derived on a sale or exchange of real property 
 21.2   located in the zone.  If the property was held by the individual 
 21.3   during a period when the zone was not designated, the gain must 
 21.4   be prorated based on the percentage of time, measured in 
 21.5   calendar days, that the real property was held by the individual 
 21.6   during the period the zone designation was in effect to the 
 21.7   total period of time the real property was held by the 
 21.8   individual; 
 21.9      (2) Net gain derived on a sale or exchange of tangible 
 21.10  personal property located in the zone.  If the property was held 
 21.11  by the individual during a period when the zone was not 
 21.12  designated, the gain must be prorated based on the percentage of 
 21.13  time, measured in calendar days, that the property was held by 
 21.14  the individual during the period the zone designation was in 
 21.15  effect to the total period of time the property was held by the 
 21.16  individual.  If the tangible personal property was used outside 
 21.17  of the zone during the period of the zone's designation, the 
 21.18  exemption must be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of 
 21.19  which is the number of days the property was used in the zone 
 21.20  during the time of the designation and the denominator of which 
 21.21  is the total days the property was held during the time of the 
 21.22  designation; and 
 21.23     (3) Net gain derived on a sale of an ownership interest in 
 21.24  a qualified business operating in the tax free zone, meeting the 
 21.25  requirements of paragraph (b).  The exemption on the gain must 
 21.26  be multiplied by the zone percentage, certified by the qualified 
 21.27  business under paragraph (b). 
 21.28     (b) A qualified business meets the requirements of this 
 21.29  subdivision if it is a corporation, an S corporation, or a 
 21.30  partnership and for the taxable year its tax free zone 
 21.31  percentage exceeds 25 percent.  For purposes of this subdivision 
 21.32  the zone percentage must be calculated by modifying the ratios 
 21.33  under section 469.310, subdivision 9, clause (1), items (i) and 
 21.34  (ii), to use the denominators of the property and payroll 
 21.35  factors determined under section 290.191.  Upon the request of 
 21.36  an individual holding an ownership interest in the entity, the 
 22.1   entity must certify to the owner, in writing, the tax free zone 
 22.2   percentage for the most recent taxable year for which a return 
 22.3   has been filed with the commissioner of revenue.

 22.7      (a) A qualified business is exempt from the corporate 
 22.8   franchise tax under chapter 290 on the income derived from 
 22.9   operation of its business in the tax free zone. 
 22.10     (b) If the entire business of the corporation is carried on 
 22.11  entirely within the zone, the corporation is exempt from 
 22.12  taxation under chapter 290, including the alternative minimum 
 22.13  tax under section 290.0921 and the minimum fee under section 
 22.14  290.0922. 
 22.15     (c) If the corporation carries on business partly within 
 22.16  and partly without the zone, the corporation qualifies for an 
 22.17  exemption on the portion of its income attributable to 
 22.18  operations within the zone.  This exemption is determined as 
 22.19  follows: 
 22.20     (1) for purposes of the tax imposed under section 290.02, 
 22.21  by multiplying its taxable net income by its zone percentage and 
 22.22  subtracting the result in determining taxable income; 
 22.23     (2) for purposes of the alternative minimum tax under 
 22.24  section 290.0921, by multiplying its alternative minimum taxable 
 22.25  income by its zone percentage and reducing alternative minimum 
 22.26  taxable income by this amount; and 
 22.27     (3) for purposes of the alternative minimum fee under 
 22.28  section 290.0922, by excluding property and payroll in the zone 
 22.29  from the computations of the fee.
