(b) The gross amount of surplus lines insurance premiums written on Oregon home state risks, as shown in the report required by ORS 735.465. (2) The Corporate Activity Tax described in ORS 317A.100(1)(a)(C) applies to insurers that meet that definition under ORS 317A.100(10) and that receive the insurance premiums described in section (1) of this administrative rule; for tax year 2020, the provisions in ORS 731.840 do not apply to the Corporate Activity Tax. (3) For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2021, foreign and alien insurers that are subject to the retaliatory tax imposed under ORS 731.854 and 731.859 are “excluded persons” and are not subject to the Corporate Activity Tax.
