MULTISTATE CORPORATIONS - SINGLE SALES FACTOR
​PART 1​
​To determine your West Virginia apportionment percentage, first determine the following factors:​
​SALES FACTOR.​
​The​​term​​"sales"​​means​​all​​gross​​receipts​​of​​the​​taxpayer​​that​​are​​business​​income.​​The​​sales​​factor​​includes​​all​​gross​ ​receipts​ ​derived​ ​from​ ​transactions​ ​and​ ​activity​ ​in​ ​the​ ​regular​ ​course​ ​of​ ​your​ ​trade​ ​or​ ​business,​ ​less​ ​returns​ ​and​ ​allowances.​​Do​​not​​include​​interest​​or​​dividends​​from​​obligations​​of​​the​​United​​States​​government,​​which​​are​​exempt​​from​ ​taxation in West Virginia, or gross receipts from an activity that produced nonbusiness income.​
​The​ ​numerator​ ​(column​ ​1)​ ​of​​the​​sales​​factor​​includes​​all​​gross​​receipts​​attributable​​to​​West​​Virginia​​and​ ​derived​ ​from​ ​transactions​ ​and​ ​activity​ ​in​ ​the​​regular​​course​​of​​your​​trade​​or​​business.​​All​​interest​​income,​ ​service​​charges​​or​​time-price​​differential​​charges​​incidental​​to​​such​​gross​​receipts​​must​​be​​included​​regardless​ ​of​​the​​place​​where​​the​​accounting​​records​​are​​maintained​​or​​the​​location​​of​​the​​contract​​or​​other​​evidence​​of​ ​indebtedness.​ ​Page​​16​​of​​24​ ​West Virginia CIT-120 Information & Instructions​ ​2025 | West Virginia Tax Division​

​The​ ​denominator​ ​(column​ ​2)​ ​of​​the​​sales​​factor​​includes​​all​​gross​​receipts​​derived​​from​​transactions​​and​ ​activity​​in​​the​​regular​​course​​of​​your​​trade​​or​​business​​that​​was​​reflected​​in​​your​​gross​​income​​reported​​and​​as​ ​appearing​​on​​your​​federal​​income​​tax​​return​​unless​​otherwise​​excluded.​​Sales​​of​​tangible​​personal​​property​ ​delivered​​or​​shipped​​to​​a​​purchaser​​within​​a​​state​​in​​which​​the​​corporation​​is​​not​​taxed​​(e.g.​​under​​Public​​Law​ ​86-272) are no longer to be excluded from the denominator.​ ​Divide​​column​​1​​by​​column​​2​​and​​enter​​the​​result​​in​​column​​3.​​State​​the​​result​​as​​a​​decimal​​fraction​​and​​round​​to​​six​​(6)​ ​places after the decimal. Enter the six (6) digit decimal fraction from column 3 on CIT-120, Schedule 2, line 7.​

MOTOR CARRIERS - SPECIAL SINGLE FACTOR FORMULA ​PART 2 - VEHICLE MILES.​ ​Motor​​carriers​​of​​property​​or​​passengers​​are​​subject​​to​​special​​apportionment​​rules.​​Motor​​carriers​​must​​apportion​​their​ ​business income by using a single factor formula of vehicle miles.​ ​A​​motor​​carrier​​is​​any​​person​​engaged​​in​​the​​transportation​​of​​passengers​​and/or​​property​​for​​compensation​​by​​a​​motor​ ​propelled​​vehicle​​over​​roads​​in​​West​​Virginia,​​whether​​on​​a​​scheduled​​route​​or​​otherwise.​​The​​term​​"vehicle​​miles"​​means​ ​the operations of a motor carrier over one mile.​ ​The special apportionment formula for motor carriers does NOT apply if:​ ​a.​ ​The​​motor​​carrier​​neither​​owns​​nor​​rents​​any​​real​​or​​tangible​​personal​​property​​located​​in​​West​​Virginia,​​has​​made​ ​no​​pickups​​or​​deliveries​​within​​West​​Virginia,​​and​​has​​traveled​​less​​than​​50,000​​miles​​in​​West​​Virginia​​during​​the​ ​taxable year; or​ ​b.​ ​The​​motor​​carrier​​neither​​owns​​nor​​rents​​any​​tangible​​personal​​property​​located​​in​​West​​Virginia​​except​​vehicles​ ​and makes no more than 12 trips into or through West Virginia during the taxable year.​ ​Under​​either​​(A)​​or​​(B),​​the​​mileage​​traveled​​in​​West​​Virginia​​may​​not​​be​​more​​than​​five​​percent​​(.05)​​of​​the​​total​​vehicle​ ​miles traveled in all states during the taxable year.​ ​Determine​​the​​apportionment​​factor​​by​​entering​​the​​appropriate​​vehicle​​miles​​for​​West​​Virginia​​in​​column​​1,​​and​​vehicle​ ​miles everywhere in column 2.​ ​Divide​​column​​1​​by​​column​​2​​and​​enter​​the​​result​​in​​column​​3.​​State​​the​​result​​as​​a​​decimal​​fraction​​and​​round​​to​​six​​(6)​ ​places after the decimal. Enter the six (6) digit decimal fraction from column 3 on CIT-120, Schedule 2, line 7.​

FINANCIAL ORGANIZATIONS - SPECIAL SINGLE FACTOR FORMULA ​PART 3 - GROSS RECEIPTS.​ ​Financial​ ​organizations​ ​subject​ ​to​​apportionment​​must​​apportion​​their​​business​​income​​by​​using​​a​​single​​factor​​gross​ ​receipts formula.​ ​A​​financial​​organization​​is​​any​​holding​​company​​or​​regulated​​financial​​corporation​​or​​subsidiary​​thereof,​​or​​any​​corporation​ ​deriving more than fifty percent (.5) of its gross receipts from one or more of the following:​ ​1.​ ​Making, acquiring, selling, or servicing loans or extensions of credit.​ ​2.​ ​Leasing​​or​​acting​​as​​an​​agent,​​broker,​​or​​advisor​​in​​connection​​with​​leasing​​real​​and​​personal​​property​​that​​is​​the​ ​economic equivalent of an extension of credit.​ ​3.​ ​Operating a credit card business.​ ​4.​ ​Rendering estate or trust services.​ ​5.​ ​Receiving, maintaining, or otherwise handling deposits.​ ​6.​ ​Engaging in any other activity with an economic effect comparable to any of the above.​ ​Financial​​organizations​​regularly​​engaging​​in​​business​​in​​West​​Virginia​​shall​​apportion​​their​​business​​income​​by​​means​ ​of​​a​​single​​factor​​of​​gross​​receipts​​apportionment​​formula.​​A​​financial​​organization​​not​​having​​its​​commercial​​domicile​​in​ ​West​​Virginia​​is​​presumed​​to​​be​​regularly​​engaging​​in​​business​​in​​West​​Virginia​​if​​during​​any​​year​​it​​obtains​​or​​solicits​ ​business​​with​​20​​or​​more​​persons​​within​​West​​Virginia,​​or​​the​​sum​​of​​its​​gross​​receipts​​attributable​​to​​sources​​in​​West​ ​Virginia equals or exceeds $100,000.00.​ ​Gross​​receipts​​from​​the​​following​​ownership​​interest​​(and​​certain​​related​​activities)​​will​​not​​be​​considered​​in​​determining​ ​whether a financial organization is subject to taxation.​ ​1.​ ​An​ ​interest​ ​in​ ​a​​real​​estate​​mortgage​​investment​​conduit,​​a​​real​​estate​​investment,​​or​​a​​regulated​​investment​ ​company;​ ​Page​​17​​of​​24​ ​West Virginia CIT-120 Information & Instructions​ ​2025 | West Virginia Tax Division​
