(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided, a financial institution whose business activity is taxable both within and without this state shall allocate and apportion its net income as provided in this act. All items of nonbusiness income, income which is not includable in the apportionable income tax base, shall be allocated pursuant to the provisions of Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 79-3274 through 79-3278 and amendments thereto. A financial institution organized under the laws of a foreign country, the commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or a territory or possession of the United States whose effectively connected income, as defined under the federal internal revenue code, is taxable both within this state and within another state, other than the state in which it is organized, shall allocate and apportion its net income as provided in this act and its apportionment factors shall include the part of its property, payroll and receipts that is related to its apportionable income.

(b) All business income, income which is includable in the apportionable income tax base, shall be apportioned to this state by multiplying such income by the apportionment percentage. The apportionment percentage is determined by adding the taxpayer’s receipts factor, as described in Kan. Stat. Ann. § 79-1130, property factor, as described in Kan. Stat. Ann. § 79-1131, and payroll factor, as described in Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 79-1132, together and dividing the sum by three. If one of the factors is missing, the two remaining factors are added and the sum is divided by two. If two of the factors are missing, the remaining factor is the apportionment percentage. A factor is missing if both its numerator and denominator are zero, but it is not missing merely because its numerator is zero.

Terms Used In Kansas Statutes 79-1129

  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts

(1) Separate accounting;

(2) the exclusion of any one or more of the factors;
