Taxation of a corporate partner

Sec. 153. (a) A corporate partner's share of profit or loss from a partnership will be included in its federal taxable income and therefore

generally subject to the same rules as any other adjusted gross income.

(b) If the corporate partner's activities and the partnership's activities constitute a unitary business under established standards, disregarding

ownership requirements, the business income of the unitary business attributable to Indiana shall be determined by a three (3) factor formula

consisting of property, payroll, and sales of the corporate partner and its share of the partnership's factors for any partnership year ending within

or with the corporate partner's income year, with the following modifications:

(1) The value of property which is rented or leased by the corporate partner to the partnership or vice versa shall, with respect to the

corporate partner, be excluded from the property factor of the partnership or eliminated to the extent of the corporate partner's interest in the

partnership, whichever the case may be, in order to avoid duplication.

(2) Intercompany sales between the corporate partner and the partnership shall be eliminated from the corporate partner's sales factor

as follows:

(A) Sales by the corporate partner to the partnership to the extent of the corporate partner's interest in the partnership.

(B) Sales by the partnership to the corporate partner not to exceed the corporate partner's interest in all partnership

sales.

(c) If the corporate partner's activities and the partnership's activities do not constitute a unitary business under established standards,

disregarding ownership requirements, the corporate partner's share of the partnership income attributable to Indiana shall be determined as follows:

(1) If the partnership derives business income from sources within and without Indiana, the business income derived from sources

within Indiana shall be determined by a three (3) factor formula consisting of property, payroll, and sales of the partnership.

(2) If the partnership derives business income from sources entirely within Indiana, or entirely without Indiana, such income shall not

be subject to formula apportionment.

(d) A partner's distributive share of income will be adjusted by the partner's proportionate share of the partnership's income that is exempt

from taxation under the Constitution and statutes of the United States and by the partner's proportionate share of the partnership's deductions allowed

or allowable under Section 63 of the Internal Revenue Code for taxes based on or measured by income and levied at the state level by any state of

the United States or for taxes on property levied by any subdivision of any state of the United States.

(e) After determining the amount of business income attributable to Indiana under subsection (c), the corporate partner's distributive share

of such income shall be added to the corporate partner's other business income apportioned to Indiana and its nonbusiness income, if any, allocable

to Indiana, in determining the corporate partner's total taxable income.
