KRS 67.753: Apportionment of net profit or gross receipts of business entity to local tax

district.

(1) Except as provided in subsection (4) of this section, net profit or gross receipts shall

be apportioned as follows:

(a) For business entities with both payroll and sales revenue in more than one (1)

tax district, by multiplying the net profit or gross receipts by a fraction, the

numerator of which is the payroll factor, described in subsection (2) of this

section, plus the sales factor, described in subsection (3 ) of this section, and

the denominator of which is two (2); and

(b) For business entities with sales revenue in more than one (1) tax district, by

multiplying the net profits or gross receipts by the sales factor as set forth in

subsection (3) of this section.

(2) The payroll factor is a fraction, the numerator of which is the total amount paid or

payable in the tax district during the tax period by the business entity for

compensation, and the denominator of which is the total compensation paid or

payable by the business entity everywhere during the tax period. Compensation is

paid or payable in the tax district based on the time the individual's service is

performed within the tax district.

(3) The sales factor is a fraction, the numerator of which is the total sales revenue of the

business entity in the tax district during the tax period, and the denominator of

which is the total sales revenue of the business entity everywhere during the tax

period.

tax district regardless of the f.o.b. point or other conditions of the sale;

or

2. The property is shipped from an office, store, warehouse, factory, or

other place of storage in the tax district and the purchaser is the United

States government.

(b) Sales revenues, other than revenue from the sale, lease, or rental of tangible

personal property or the lease or rental of real property, are apportioned to the

tax district based upon a fraction, the numerator of which is the time spent in

performing such income -producing activity within the tax district and the

denominator of which is the total time spent performing that income -

producing activity.

(c) Sales revenue from the lease or rental of real property is allocated to the tax

district where the property is located.

(4) If the apportionment provisions of this section do not fairly repre sent the extent of

the business entity's activity in the tax district, the business entity may petition the

tax district or the tax district may require, in respect to all or any part of the business

entity's business activity, if reasonable:

(a) Separate accounting;

(b) The exclusion of any one (1) or more of the factors;

(c) The inclusion of one (1) or more additional factors which will fairly represent

the business entity's business activity in the tax district; or
