Adjustments to arrive at Oklahoma taxable income and

Official statutory text

Oklahoma adjusted gross income.

For all tax years beginning after December 31, 1981, taxable

income and adjusted gross income shall be adjusted to arrive at

Oklahoma taxable income and Oklahoma adjusted gross income as

required by this section.

A. The taxable income of any taxpayer shall be adjusted to

arrive at Oklahoma taxable income for corporations and Oklahoma

adjusted gross income for individuals, as follows:

1. There shall be added interest income on obligations of any

state or political subdivision thereto which is not otherwise

exempted pursuant to other laws of this state, to the extent that

such interest is not included in taxable income and adjusted gross

income.

2. There shall be deducted amounts included in such income that

the state is prohibited from taxing because of the provisions of the

Federal Constitution, the State Constitution, federal laws or laws

of Oklahoma.

3. The amount of any federal net operating loss deduction shall

be adjusted as follows:

a. For carryovers and carrybacks to taxable years

beginning before January 1, 1981, the amount of any

net operating loss deduction allowed to a taxpayer for

federal income tax purposes shall be reduced to an

amount which is the same portion thereof as the loss

from sources within this state, as determined pursuant

to this section and Section 2362 of this title, for

the taxable year in which such loss is sustained is of

the total loss for such year;

b. For carryovers and carrybacks to taxable years

beginning after December 31, 1980, the amount of any

net operating loss deduction allowed for the taxable

year shall be an amount equal to the aggregate of the

Oklahoma net operating loss carryovers and carrybacks

to such year. Oklahoma net operating losses shall be

separately determined by reference to Section 172 of

the Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C., Section 172, as

modified by the Oklahoma Income Tax Act, Section 2351

et seq. of this title, and shall be allowed without

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 68. Revenue and Taxation Page 993

regard to the existence of a federal net operating

loss. For tax years beginning after December 31,

2000, and ending before January 1, 2008, the years to

which such losses may be carried shall be determined

solely by reference to Section 172 of the Internal

Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C., Section 172, with the

exception that the terms “net operating loss” and

“taxable income” shall be replaced with “Oklahoma net

operating loss” and “Oklahoma taxable income”. For

tax years beginning after December 31, 2007, and

ending before January 1, 2009, years to which such

losses may be carried back shall be limited to two (2)

years. For tax years beginning after December 31,

2008, the years to which such losses may be carried

back shall be determined solely by reference to

Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C.,

Section 172, with the exception that the terms “net

operating loss” and “taxable income” shall be replaced

with “Oklahoma net operating loss” and “Oklahoma

taxable income”.

4. Items of the following nature shall be allocated as

indicated. Allowable deductions attributable to items separately

allocable in subparagraphs a, b and c of this paragraph, whether or

not such items of income were actually received, shall be allocated

on the same basis as those items:

a. Income from real and tangible personal property, such

as rents, oil and mining production or royalties, and

gains or losses from sales of such property, shall be

allocated in accordance with the situs of such

property;

b. Income from intangible personal property, such as

interest, dividends, patent or copyright royalties,

and gains or losses from sales of such property, shall

be allocated in accordance with the domiciliary situs

of the taxpayer, except that:
d mining production or royalties, and

gains or losses from sales of such property, shall be

allocated in accordance with the situs of such

property;

b. Income from intangible personal property, such as

interest, dividends, patent or copyright royalties,

and gains or losses from sales of such property, shall

be allocated in accordance with the domiciliary situs

of the taxpayer, except that:

(1) where such property has acquired a nonunitary

business or commercial situs apart from the

domicile of the taxpayer such income shall be

allocated in accordance with such business or

commercial situs; interest income from

investments held to generate working capital for

a unitary business enterprise shall be included

in apportionable income; a resident trust or

resident estate shall be treated as having a

separate commercial or business situs insofar as

undistributed income is concerned, but shall not

be treated as having a separate commercial or

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 68. Revenue and Taxation Page 994

business situs insofar as distributed income is

concerned,

(2) for taxable years beginning after December 31,

2003, capital or ordinary gains or losses from

the sale of an ownership interest in a publicly

traded partnership, as defined by Section 7704(b)

of the Internal Revenue Code, shall be allocated

to this state in the ratio of the original cost

of such partnership’s tangible property in this

state to the original cost of such partnership’s

tangible property everywhere, as determined at

the time of the sale; if more than fifty percent

(50%) of the value of the partnership’s assets

consists of intangible assets, capital or

ordinary gains or losses from the sale of an

ownership interest in the partnership shall be

allocated to this state in accordance with the

sales factor of the partnership for its first

full tax period immediately preceding its tax

period during which the ownership interest in the

partnership was sold; the provisions of this

division shall only apply if the capital or

ordinary gains or losses from the sale of an

ownership interest in a partnership do not

constitute qualifying gain receiving capital

treatment as defined in subparagraph a of

paragraph 2 of subsection F of this section,

(3) income from such property which is required to be

allocated pursuant to the provisions of paragraph

5 of this subsection shall be allocated as herein

provided;

enterprise the business of which in Oklahoma consists

solely of marketing its products by:

(1) sales having a situs without this state, shipped

directly to a point from without the state to a

purchaser within the state, commonly known as

interstate sales,

(2) sales of the product stored in public warehouses

within the state pursuant to “in transit”

tariffs, as prescribed and allowed by the

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 68. Revenue and Taxation Page 995

Interstate Commerce Commission, to a purchaser

within the state,
is state, shipped

directly to a point from without the state to a

purchaser within the state, commonly known as

interstate sales,

(2) sales of the product stored in public warehouses

within the state pursuant to “in transit”

tariffs, as prescribed and allowed by the

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 68. Revenue and Taxation Page 995

Interstate Commerce Commission, to a purchaser

within the state,

(3) sales of the product stored in public warehouses

within the state where the shipment to such

warehouses is not covered by “in transit”

tariffs, as prescribed and allowed by the

Interstate Commerce Commission, to a purchaser

within or without the state,

the Oklahoma net income shall, at the option of the

taxpayer, be that portion of the total net income of

the taxpayer for federal income tax purposes derived

from the manufacture and/or processing and sales

everywhere as determined by the ratio of the sales

defined in this section made to the purchaser within

the state to the total sales everywhere. The term

“public warehouse” as used in this subparagraph means

a licensed public warehouse, the principal business of

which is warehousing merchandise for the public;

e. In the case of insurance companies, Oklahoma taxable

income shall be taxable income of the taxpayer for

federal tax purposes, as adjusted for the adjustments

provided pursuant to the provisions of paragraphs 1

and 2 of this subsection, apportioned as follows:

(1) except as otherwise provided by division (2) of

this subparagraph, taxable income of an insurance

company for a taxable year shall be apportioned

to this state by multiplying such income by a

fraction, the numerator of which is the direct

premiums written for insurance on property or

risks in this state, and the denominator of which

is the direct premiums written for insurance on

property or risks everywhere. For purposes of

this subsection, the term “direct premiums

written” means the total amount of direct

premiums written, assessments and annuity

considerations as reported for the taxable year

on the annual statement filed by the company with

the Insurance Commissioner in the form approved

by the National Association of Insurance

Commissioners, or such other form as may be

prescribed in lieu thereof,

(2) if the principal source of premiums written by an

insurance company consists of premiums for

reinsurance accepted by it, the taxable income of

such company shall be apportioned to this state

by multiplying such income by a fraction, the

numerator of which is the sum of (a) direct

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 68. Revenue and Taxation Page 996

premiums written for insurance on property or

risks in this state, plus (b) premiums written

for reinsurance accepted in respect of property

or risks in this state, and the denominator of

which is the sum of (c) direct premiums written

for insurance on property or risks everywhere,

plus (d) premiums written for reinsurance

accepted in respect of property or risks

everywhere. For purposes of this paragraph,

premiums written for reinsurance accepted in

respect of property or risks in this state,

whether or not otherwise determinable, may at the

election of the company be determined on the

basis of the proportion which premiums written

for insurance accepted from companies

commercially domiciled in Oklahoma bears to

premiums written for reinsurance accepted from

all sources, or alternatively in the proportion

which the sum of the direct premiums written for

insurance on property or risks in this state by

each ceding company from which reinsurance is

accepted bears to the sum of the total direct

premiums written by each such ceding company for

the taxable year.

5. The net income or loss remaining after the separate

allocation in paragraph 4 of this subsection, being that which is

derived from a unitary business enterprise, shall be apportioned to
surance on property or risks in this state by

each ceding company from which reinsurance is

accepted bears to the sum of the total direct

premiums written by each such ceding company for

the taxable year.

5. The net income or loss remaining after the separate

allocation in paragraph 4 of this subsection, being that which is

derived from a unitary business enterprise, shall be apportioned to

this state on the basis of the arithmetical average of three factors

consisting of property, payroll and sales or gross revenue

enumerated as subparagraphs a, b and c of this paragraph. Net

income or loss as used in this paragraph includes that derived from

patent or copyright royalties, purchase discounts, and interest on

accounts receivable relating to or arising from a business activity,

the income from which is apportioned pursuant to this subsection,

including the sale or other disposition of such property and any

other property used in the unitary enterprise. Deductions used in

computing such net income or loss shall not include taxes based on

or measured by income. Provided, for corporations whose property

for purposes of the tax imposed by Section 2355 of this title has an

initial investment cost equaling or exceeding Two Hundred Million

Dollars ($200,000,000.00) and such investment is made on or after

July 1, 1997, or for corporations which expand their property or

facilities in this state and such expansion has an investment cost

equaling or exceeding Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000.00)

over a period not to exceed three (3) years, and such expansion is

commenced on or after January 1, 2000, the three factors shall be

apportioned with property and payroll, each comprising twenty-five

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 68. Revenue and Taxation Page 997

percent (25%) of the apportionment factor and sales comprising fifty

percent (50%) of the apportionment factor. The apportionment

factors shall be computed as follows:

a. The property factor is a fraction, the numerator of

which is the average value of the taxpayer’s real and

tangible personal property owned or rented and used in

this state during the tax period and the denominator

of which is the average value of all the taxpayer’s

real and tangible personal property everywhere owned

or rented and used during the tax period.

(1) Property, the income from which is separately

allocated in paragraph 4 of this subsection,

shall not be included in determining this

fraction. The numerator of the fraction shall

include a portion of the investment in

transportation and other equipment having no

fixed situs, such as rolling stock, buses, trucks

and trailers, including machinery and equipment

carried thereon, airplanes, salespersons’

automobiles and other similar equipment, in the

proportion that miles traveled in Oklahoma by

such equipment bears to total miles traveled,

(2) Property owned by the taxpayer is valued at its

original cost. Property rented by the taxpayer

is valued at eight times the net annual rental

rate. Net annual rental rate is the annual

rental rate paid by the taxpayer, less any annual

rental rate received by the taxpayer from

subrentals,

(3) The average value of property shall be determined

by averaging the values at the beginning and

ending of the tax period but the Oklahoma Tax

Commission may require the averaging of monthly

values during the tax period if reasonably

required to reflect properly the average value of

the taxpayer’s property;

b. The payroll factor is a fraction, the numerator of

which is the total compensation for services rendered

in the state during the tax period, and the

denominator of which is the total compensation for

services rendered everywhere during the tax period.

“Compensation”, as used in this subsection means those

paid-for services to the extent related to the unitary

business but does not include officers’ salaries,

wages and other compensation.
f

which is the total compensation for services rendered

in the state during the tax period, and the

denominator of which is the total compensation for

services rendered everywhere during the tax period.

“Compensation”, as used in this subsection means those

paid-for services to the extent related to the unitary

business but does not include officers’ salaries,

wages and other compensation.

(1) In the case of a transportation enterprise, the

numerator of the fraction shall include a portion

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 68. Revenue and Taxation Page 998

of such expenditure in connection with employees

operating equipment over a fixed route, such as

railroad employees, airline pilots, or bus

drivers, in this state only a part of the time,

in the proportion that mileage traveled in

Oklahoma bears to total mileage traveled by such

employees,

(2) In any case the numerator of the fraction shall

include a portion of such expenditures in

connection with itinerant employees, such as

traveling salespersons, in this state only a part

of the time, in the proportion that time spent in

Oklahoma bears to total time spent in furtherance

of the enterprise by such employees;

c. The sales factor is a fraction, the numerator of which

is the total sales or gross revenue of the taxpayer in

this state during the tax period, and the denominator

of which is the total sales or gross revenue of the

taxpayer everywhere during the tax period. “Sales”,

as used in this subsection does not include sales or

gross revenue which are separately allocated in

paragraph 4 of this subsection.

(1) Sales of tangible personal property have a situs

in this state if the property is delivered or

shipped to a purchaser other than the United

States government, within this state regardless

of the FOB point or other conditions of the sale;

or the property is shipped from an office, store,

warehouse, factory or other place of storage in

this state and (a) the purchaser is the United

States government or (b) the taxpayer is not

doing business in the state of the destination of

the shipment.

(2) In the case of a railroad or interurban railway

enterprise, the numerator of the fraction shall

not be less than the allocation of revenues to

this state as shown in its annual report to the

Corporation Commission.

(3) In the case of an airline, truck or bus

enterprise or freight car, tank car, refrigerator

car or other railroad equipment enterprise, the

numerator of the fraction shall include a portion

of revenue from interstate transportation in the

proportion that interstate mileage traveled in

Oklahoma bears to total interstate mileage

traveled.

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 68. Revenue and Taxation Page 999

(4) In the case of an oil, gasoline or gas pipeline

enterprise, the numerator of the fraction shall

be either the total of traffic units of the

enterprise within Oklahoma or the revenue

allocated to Oklahoma based upon miles moved, at

the option of the taxpayer, and the denominator

of which shall be the total of traffic units of

the enterprise or the revenue of the enterprise

everywhere as appropriate to the numerator. A

“traffic unit” is hereby defined as the

transportation for a distance of one (1) mile of

one (1) barrel of oil, one (1) gallon of gasoline

or one thousand (1,000) cubic feet of natural or

casinghead gas, as the case may be.
payer, and the denominator

of which shall be the total of traffic units of

the enterprise or the revenue of the enterprise

everywhere as appropriate to the numerator. A

“traffic unit” is hereby defined as the

transportation for a distance of one (1) mile of

one (1) barrel of oil, one (1) gallon of gasoline

or one thousand (1,000) cubic feet of natural or

casinghead gas, as the case may be.

(5) In the case of a telephone or telegraph or other

communication enterprise, the numerator of the

fraction shall include that portion of the

interstate revenue as is allocated pursuant to

the accounting procedures prescribed by the

Federal Communications Commission; provided that

in respect to each corporation or business entity

required by the Federal Communications Commission

to keep its books and records in accordance with

a uniform system of accounts prescribed by such

Commission, the intrastate net income shall be

determined separately in the manner provided by

such uniform system of accounts and only the

interstate income shall be subject to allocation

pursuant to the provisions of this subsection.

Provided further, that the gross revenue factors

shall be those as are determined pursuant to the

accounting procedures prescribed by the Federal

Communications Commission.

In any case where the apportionment of the three factors

prescribed in this paragraph attributes to Oklahoma a portion of net

income of the enterprise out of all appropriate proportion to the

property owned and/or business transacted within this state, because

of the fact that one or more of the factors so prescribed are not

employed to any appreciable extent in furtherance of the enterprise;

or because one or more factors not so prescribed are employed to a

considerable extent in furtherance of the enterprise; or because of

other reasons, the Tax Commission is empowered to permit, after a

showing by taxpayer that an excessive portion of net income has been

attributed to Oklahoma, or require, when in its judgment an

insufficient portion of net income has been attributed to Oklahoma,

the elimination, substitution, or use of additional factors, or

reduction or increase in the weight of such prescribed factors.

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 68. Revenue and Taxation Page 1000

Provided, however, that any such variance from such prescribed

factors which has the effect of increasing the portion of net income

attributable to Oklahoma must not be inherently arbitrary, and

application of the recomputed final apportionment to the net income

of the enterprise must attribute to Oklahoma only a reasonable

portion thereof.

6. For calendar years 1997 and 1998, the owner of a new or

expanded agricultural commodity processing facility in this state

may exclude from Oklahoma taxable income, or in the case of an

individual, the Oklahoma adjusted gross income, fifteen percent

(15%) of the investment by the owner in the new or expanded

agricultural commodity processing facility. For calendar year 1999,

and all subsequent years, the percentage, not to exceed fifteen

percent (15%), available to the owner of a new or expanded

agricultural commodity processing facility in this state claiming

the exemption shall be adjusted annually so that the total estimated

reduction in tax liability does not exceed One Million Dollars

($1,000,000.00) annually. The Tax Commission shall promulgate rules

for determining the percentage of the investment which each eligible

taxpayer may exclude. The exclusion provided by this paragraph

shall be taken in the taxable year when the investment is made. In

the event the total reduction in tax liability authorized by this

paragraph exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in any

calendar year, the Tax Commission shall permit any excess over One

Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and shall factor such excess into

the percentage for subsequent years. Any amount of the exemption
ph

shall be taken in the taxable year when the investment is made. In

the event the total reduction in tax liability authorized by this

paragraph exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in any

calendar year, the Tax Commission shall permit any excess over One

Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and shall factor such excess into

the percentage for subsequent years. Any amount of the exemption

permitted to be excluded pursuant to the provisions of this

paragraph but not used in any year may be carried forward as an

exemption from income pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph

for a period not exceeding six (6) years following the year in which

the investment was originally made.

For purposes of this paragraph:

a. “Agricultural commodity processing facility” means

building, structures, fixtures and improvements used

or operated primarily for the processing or production

of marketable products from agricultural commodities.

The term shall also mean a dairy operation that

requires a depreciable investment of at least Two

Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) and which

produces milk from dairy cows. The term does not

include a facility that provides only, and nothing

more than, storage, cleaning, drying or transportation

of agricultural commodities, and

b. “Facility” means each part of the facility which is

used in a process primarily for:

(1) the processing of agricultural commodities,

including receiving or storing agricultural

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 68. Revenue and Taxation Page 1001

commodities, or the production of milk at a dairy

operation,

(2) transporting the agricultural commodities or

product before, during or after the processing,

or

(3) packaging or otherwise preparing the product for

sale or shipment.

7. Despite any provision to the contrary in paragraph 3 of this

subsection, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 1999, in

the case of a taxpayer which has a farming loss, such farming loss

shall be considered a net operating loss carryback in accordance

with and to the extent of the Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C.,

Section 172(b)(G). However, the amount of the net operating loss

carryback shall not exceed the lesser of:

a. Sixty Thousand Dollars ($60,000.00), or

b. the loss properly shown on Schedule F of the Internal

Revenue Service Form 1040 reduced by one-half (1/2) of

the income from all other sources other than reflected

on Schedule F.

8. In taxable years beginning after December 31, 1995, all

qualified wages equal to the federal income tax credit set forth in

26 U.S.C.A., Section 45A, shall be deducted from taxable income.

The deduction allowed pursuant to this paragraph shall only be

permitted for the tax years in which the federal tax credit pursuant

to 26 U.S.C.A., Section 45A, is allowed. For purposes of this

paragraph, “qualified wages” means those wages used to calculate the

federal credit pursuant to 26 U.S.C.A., Section 45A.

9. In taxable years beginning after December 31, 2005, an

employer that is eligible for and utilizes the Safety Pays OSHA

Consultation Service provided by the Oklahoma Department of Labor

shall receive an exemption from taxable income in the amount of One

Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) for the tax year that the service is

utilized.

10. For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2010,

there shall be added to Oklahoma taxable income an amount equal to

the amount of deferred income not included in such taxable income

pursuant to Section 108(i)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986

as amended by Section 1231 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment

Act of 2009 (P.L. No. 111-5). There shall be subtracted from

Oklahoma taxable income an amount equal to the amount of deferred

income included in such taxable income pursuant to Section 108(i)(1)

of the Internal Revenue Code by Section 1231 of the American

Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (P.L. No. 111-5).
Code of 1986

as amended by Section 1231 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment

Act of 2009 (P.L. No. 111-5). There shall be subtracted from

Oklahoma taxable income an amount equal to the amount of deferred

income included in such taxable income pursuant to Section 108(i)(1)

of the Internal Revenue Code by Section 1231 of the American

11. For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2019,

there shall be subtracted from Oklahoma taxable income or adjusted

gross income any item of income or gain, and there shall be added to

Oklahoma taxable income or adjusted gross income any item of loss or

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 68. Revenue and Taxation Page 1002

deduction that in the absence of an election pursuant to the

provisions of the Pass-Through Entity Tax Equity Act of 2019 would

be allocated to a member or to an indirect member of an electing

pass-through entity pursuant to Section 2351 et seq. of this title,

if (i) the electing pass-through entity has accounted for such item

in computing its Oklahoma net entity income or loss pursuant to the

provisions of the Pass-Through Entity Tax Equity Act of 2019, and

(ii) the total amount of tax attributable to any resulting Oklahoma

net entity income has been paid. The Oklahoma Tax Commission shall

promulgate rules for the reporting of such exclusion to direct and

indirect members of the electing pass-through entity. As used in

this paragraph, “electing pass-through entity”, “indirect member”,

and “member” shall be defined in the same manner as prescribed by

Section 2355.1P-2 of this title. Notwithstanding the application of

this paragraph, the adjusted tax basis of any ownership interest in

a pass-through entity for purposes of Section 2351 et seq. of this

title shall be equal to its adjusted tax basis for federal income

tax purposes.

B. 1. The taxable income of any corporation shall be further

adjusted to arrive at Oklahoma taxable income, except those

corporations electing treatment as provided in subchapter S of the

Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C., Section 1361 et seq., and Section

2365 of this title, deductions pursuant to the provisions of the

Accelerated Cost Recovery System as defined and allowed in the

Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981, Public Law 97-34, 26 U.S.C.,

Section 168, for depreciation of assets placed into service after

December 31, 1981, shall not be allowed in calculating Oklahoma

taxable income. Such corporations shall be allowed a deduction for

depreciation of assets placed into service after December 31, 1981,

in accordance with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, 26

U.S.C., Section 1 et seq., in effect immediately prior to the

enactment of the Accelerated Cost Recovery System. The Oklahoma tax

basis for all such assets placed into service after December 31,

1981, calculated in this section shall be retained and utilized for

all Oklahoma income tax purposes through the final disposition of

such assets.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Oklahoma Income Tax

Act, Section 2351 et seq. of this title, or of the Internal Revenue

Code to the contrary, this subsection shall control calculation of

depreciation of assets placed into service after December 31, 1981,

and before January 1, 1983.

For assets placed in service and held by a corporation in which

accelerated cost recovery system was previously disallowed, an

adjustment to taxable income is required in the first taxable year

beginning after December 31, 1982, to reconcile the basis of such

assets to the basis allowed in the Internal Revenue Code. The

purpose of this adjustment is to equalize the basis and allowance

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 68. Revenue and Taxation Page 1003

for depreciation accounts between that reported to the Internal

Revenue Service and that reported to Oklahoma.

2. For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2009, and
82, to reconcile the basis of such

assets to the basis allowed in the Internal Revenue Code. The

purpose of this adjustment is to equalize the basis and allowance

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 68. Revenue and Taxation Page 1003

for depreciation accounts between that reported to the Internal

Revenue Service and that reported to Oklahoma.

2. For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2009, and

ending on or before December 31, 2009, there shall be added to

Oklahoma taxable income any amount in excess of One Hundred Seventy-

five Thousand Dollars ($175,000.00) which has been deducted as a

small business expense under Internal Revenue Code, Section 179 as

provided in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

C. 1. For taxable years beginning after December 31, 1987, the

taxable income of any corporation shall be further adjusted to

arrive at Oklahoma taxable income for transfers of technology to

qualified small businesses located in Oklahoma. Such transferor

corporation shall be allowed an exemption from taxable income of an

amount equal to the amount of royalty payment received as a result

of such transfer; provided, however, such amount shall not exceed

ten percent (10%) of the amount of gross proceeds received by such

transferor corporation as a result of the technology transfer. Such

exemption shall be allowed for a period not to exceed ten (10) years

from the date of receipt of the first royalty payment accruing from

such transfer. No exemption may be claimed for transfers of

technology to qualified small businesses made prior to January 1,

1988.

2. For purposes of this subsection:

a. “Qualified small business” means an entity, whether

organized as a corporation, partnership, or

proprietorship, organized for profit with its

principal place of business located within this state

and which meets the following criteria:

(1) Capitalization of not more than Two Hundred Fifty

Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00),

pattern, device or compilation of scientific or

technical information which is not in the public

domain;

c. “Transferor corporation” means a corporation which is

consideration for the transfer of technology, whether

the consideration is in money or otherwise.

D. 1. For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2005, the

taxable income of any corporation, estate or trust, shall be further
