§ 25137-15. Apportionment and Allocation of Income of Space Transportation Companies.
1. Mileage ratio numerator. The numerator of the mileage ratio for each launch contract shall be the total projected mileage that all launch vehicles launched or planned to be launched pursuant to that launch contract will travel within this state. If a launch occurs or is planned to occur in this state, the contribution of that launch to the numerator of the mileage ratio shall be 62 statute miles. If a launch occurs or is planned to occur outside of this state, the contribution of that launch to the numerator of the mileage ratio shall be zero.
3. If the Internal Revenue Service or the Franchise Tax Board is prevented by reasons of secrecy or confidentiality imposed by governmental authorities from determining the projected mileage of any launch contract, the mileage ratio denominator of such contracts shall be conclusively presumed to be 310 statute miles multiplied by the number of launches pursuant to that contract.
4. Mileage factor numerator. For each launch contract under which revenue is recognized in a taxable year, the mileage ratio for that contract shall be multiplied by the revenue recognized from that contract in the taxable year. The product shall be added to the products for each launch contract for which the taxpayer recognizes revenue in the taxable year the sum of which shall be the numerator of the mileage factor.
1. Departure factor numerator. For each launch contract under which the taxpayer recognizes revenue in a taxable year, the contribution to the numerator of the departure factor shall be the number of launches in this state as specified in the contract at the time of execution of the contract. The numerator of the departure factor shall include all launches in this state specified in the contract regardless of the taxable year in which the launches occur or are planned to occur. The numerator of the departure factor shall be the sum of the contributions to the numerator factor for all launch contracts under which the taxpayer recognizes revenue.
2. Departure factor denominator. For each launch contract under which the taxpayer recognizes revenue in a taxable year, the contribution to the denominator of the departure factor shall be the number of launches everywhere as specified in the contract at the time of execution of the contract. The denominator of the departure factor shall include all launches specified in the contract regardless of the taxable year in which the launches occur or are planned to occur. The denominator of the departure factor shall be the sum of the contributions to the departure factor for all launch contracts under which the taxpayer recognizes revenue.
Taxpayer is a space transportation company that has entered into three launch contracts that result in the recognition of revenue in taxable year 201X. The first contract (“Contract A”) is for two launches outside this state where the launch vehicles will each travel 1,000 miles from launch to separation. Taxpayer will recognize $2,000,000 of revenue in taxable year 201X from this contract. The second contract (“Contract B”) is for one launch from outside of this state where the launch vehicle will travel 10,000 miles from launch to separation. Taxpayer will recognize $500,000 of revenue in taxable year 201X from this contract. The third contract (“Contract C”) is for one launch from within this state where the launch vehicle will travel 1,000 miles from launch to separation. Taxpayer will recognize $1,000,000 of revenue in taxable year 201X from this contract. Taxpayer also has $500,000 of revenue from other than space transportation activities. The taxpayer's sales factor numerator from launch-related revenue in the taxable year shall be determined as follows:
Contract A | Contract B | Contract C | |||
Gross receipts recognized in 201X | $2,000,000 | $500,000 | $1,000,000 | ||
Mileage ratio for each contract | (0+0)/(1,000+1,000)=0 | 0/10,000 = 0 | 62/1,000 = 6.2% | |
Contribution to mileage factor numerator from each contract | $2,000,000 x 0 = $0 | $500,000 x 0 = $0 | $1,000,000 x .062 = $62,000 | |
Mileage factor numerator | $0 + $0 + $62,000 = $62,000 | |
Mileage factor denominator (total launch contract revenues recognized in taxable year) | $2,000,000 + $500,000 + $1,000,000 = $3,500,000 | |
Mileage factor | ($62,000 / $3,500,000) = 1.7714% | |
Departure factor for all contracts in the taxable year | 1 launch from this state / 4 launches everywhere = ¼ = 25% | |
Sales factor: Mileage factor weighted 80% plus departure factor weighted 20% | (1.7714% x 80%) + (25% x 20%) = 6.42% | |
Gross receipts to be included in sales factor numerator in the taxable year multiplied by taxpayer total gross receipts | .0642 x $4,000,000 = $256,800 |
