  103 KAR 16:330. Apportionment and allocation; separate accounting  

Latest version.

  •       Section 1. General. (1) A corporation may apply for an alternative apportionment method using separate accounting, or the Department of Revenue may require separate accounting, if the corporation or Department of Revenue establishes either that the business income subject to apportionment, or one (1) or more of the factors, does not fairly represent the activity of the corporation’s business activities in Kentucky. (2) The fact that taxable income is greater or lesser, or that the corporation’s accounting records reflect income by contracts or by states shall not be sufficient to support a request for separate accounting.

     

          Section 2. Separate Accounting. If a corporation is permitted or required to use separate accounting, the authorization or requirement shall be applied prospectively from the date or taxable year it was directed in writing by the Department of Revenue or requested by the corporation. Income tax returns filed under these conditions shall be subject to audit and review on a separate accounting basis to determine the correctness of income and expenses, but the method of apportioning net income shall not be changed retroactively. (32 Ky.R. 2203; 33 Ky.R. 75; eff. 8-7-2006.)
