Notwithstanding section 239-4, any person engaged in the business of selling
interstate or foreign common carrier telecommunications services taxable under

gross income from the conveyance or transmission of telephone or telegraph
messages, or from the furnishing of facilities for the transmission of
intelligence by electricity, may reasonably segregate in the person's returns,
based on its books and records that are kept in the normal course of business:
(1) The parts of its gross income, gross proceeds of
sales, and value of products subject to taxation under this chapter from the
parts subject to taxation under chapter 237; and
(2) The parts of its gross income, gross proceeds of
sales, and value of products subject to taxation under one provision of this
chapter from the parts subject to taxation under any other provision of this
chapter.
(b) The segregation shall be deemed valid so
long as the method of segregation does not conflict with rules subsequently
adopted by the department pursuant to this section.
