Section 150-317.715(3)(b) - Consolidated Oregon Return: Apportionment Formula

(1) Each member of an affiliated group of corporations must be treated as a separate corporation for purposes of determining whether it is subject to the tax jurisdiction of Oregon. A corporation is subject to the tax jurisdiction of Oregon if it is "doing business" in Oregon as defined under ORS 317.010(4) or has income from Oregon sources taxable under ORS 318.020.

(2) In applying the apportionment provisions of ORS 314.280 or 314.605 to 314.670, each corporation subject to the tax jurisdiction of Oregon must be considered separately.

Example: Corporations A, B and C are members of the same unitary group and file a consolidated federal return. Corporation C is "doing business" in Oregon as defined under ORS 317.010(4) while Corporations A and B have no activities in Oregon. Since Corporation C is the only member of the affiliated group subject to the tax jurisdiction of Oregon, the Oregon property, payroll and sales included in the numerator of the apportionment formula are determined by applying the provisions of ORS 314.605 to 314.670 to the business activities of Corporation C. The denominator of the apportionment formula will include the total property, payroll and sales for Corporations A, B and C as determined by applying the provisions of ORS 314.655 to ORS 314.670. See OAR 150-314.665(6) and 150-314.665(6)(a) for an explanation regarding how ORS 317.715(3) and this rule work with the "primary business activity" provisions of ORS 314.665(6).

(3) The property, payroll, sales and other factors included in the apportionment formula of a consolidated Oregon return must be computed by eliminating transactions between members of the affiliated group filing the consolidated Oregon return. See OAR 150-314.650(9) regarding transactions between members of an affiliated group filing a consolidated Oregon return and related pass-through entities such as partnerships and S corporations owned by other members of that affiliated group.
