OAR 150-317-0570: Different Apportionment Factors for Purposes of ORS 317.710(5)(b)

(1) An Oregon taxpayer that is permitted or required to use different apportionment factors under Oregon law cannot be included in an Oregon consolidated return with another Oregon taxpayer using the standard apportionment factor provided in ORS 314.650. This restriction only applies when both corporations using different apportionment factors are subject to Oregon tax under ORS Chapters 317 or 318. The only corporations that are permitted or required to use different apportionment factors are: (a) Insurers required to apportion income as provided in ORS 317.660; and (b) Taxpayers primarily engaged in utilities or telecommunications that elect to have income from business activity apportioned by applying the weightings used in ORS 314.650 (1999 Edition) for tax years beginning on or after May 1, 2003. (2) Corporations other than those listed in subsections 1(a) and 1(b) of this rule use specific applications of the standard apportionment factor provided in ORS 314.650.
