California Revenue & Taxation Code
Cal. Rev. & Tax. Code § 1152
For fiscal years before the 2020–21 fiscal year, the allocation formula to be used by each assessor is as follows:
# (a)
The time in state factor is the proportionate amount of time, both in the air and on the ground, that certificated aircraft have spent within the state during a representative period as compared to the total time in the representative period. For purposes of this subdivision, all time, both in the air and on the ground, that certificated aircraft have spent within the state prior to the aircraft’s first entry into the revenue service of the air carrier in control of the aircraft on the current lien date shall be excluded from the time in state factor. This factor shall be multiplied by 75 percent.
# (b)
The arrivals and departures factor is the proportionate number of arrivals in and departures from airports within the state of certificated aircraft during a representative period as compared to the total number of arrivals in and departures from airports during the representative period. This factor shall be multiplied by 25 percent.
# (c)
For the 1983–84 fiscal year until the 2020–21 fiscal year, inclusive, in computing the time-in-state factor, on each occasion during the representative period that a certificated aircraft has spent 720 or more consecutive hours on the ground, all ground time in excess of 168 hours shall be excluded from the time in state attributable to that aircraft.
# (d)
The time-in-state factor shall be added to the arrivals and departures factor.
# (e)
The figure produced by application of subdivision (d) equals the allocation to be applied to full cash value to determine the value to which the assessment ratio shall be applied.
# (f)
This section shall become inoperative on January 1, 2020.
