TAXES

 

Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 2007 Supplement, section 80A.28, subdivision 1, is amended to read:

 

Subdivision 1. Registration or notice filing fee. (a) There shall be a filing fee of $100 for every application for registration or notice filing. There shall be an additional fee of one-tenth of one percent of the maximum aggregate offering price at which the securities are to be offered in this state, and the maximum combined fees shall not exceed $300.

 

(b) When an application for registration is withdrawn before the effective date or a preeffective stop order is entered under section 80A.13, subdivision 1, all but the $100 filing fee shall be returned. If an application to register securities is denied, the total of all fees received shall be retained.

 

(c) Where a filing is made in connection with a federal covered security under section 18(b)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, there is a fee of $100 for every initial filing. If the filing is made in connection with redeemable securities issued by an open end management company or unit investment trust, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, there is an additional annual fee of 1/20 of one percent of the maximum aggregate offering price at which the securities are to be offered in this state during the notice filing period. The fee must be paid at the time of the initial filing and thereafter in connection with each renewal no later than July 1 of each year and must be sufficient to cover the shares the issuer expects to sell in this state over the next 12 months. If during a current notice filing the issuer determines it is likely to sell shares in excess of the shares for which fees have been paid to the commissioner, the issuer shall submit an amended notice filing to the commissioner under section 80A.122, subdivision 1, clause (3), together with a fee of 1/20 of one percent of the maximum aggregate offering price of the additional shares. Shares for which a fee has been paid, but which have not been sold at the time of expiration of the notice filing, may not be sold unless an additional fee to cover the shares has been paid to the commissioner as provided in this section and section 80A.122, subdivision 4a. If the filing is made in connection with redeemable securities issued by such a company or trust, there is no maximum fee for securities filings made according to this paragraph. If the filing is made in connection with any other federal covered security under Section 18(b)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, there is an additional fee of one-tenth of one percent of the maximum aggregate offering price at which the securities are to be offered in this state, and the combined fees shall not exceed $300. Beginning with fiscal year 2001 and continuing each fiscal year thereafter, as of the last day of each fiscal year, the commissioner shall determine the total amount of all fees that were collected under this paragraph in connection with any filings made for that fiscal year for securities of an open-end investment company on behalf of a security that is a federal covered security pursuant to section 18(b)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. To the extent the total

fees collected by the commissioner in connection with these filings exceed $25,600,000 $31,385,000 in a fiscal year, the commissioner shall refund, on a pro rata basis, to all persons who paid any fees for that fiscal year, the amount of fees collected by the commissioner in excess of $25,600,000 $31,385,000. No individual refund is required of amounts of $100 or less for a fiscal year.

 

EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective beginning for refunds paid for fiscal year 2008.

 

Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2006, section 290.01, subdivision 5, is amended to read:

(2) which qualifies as a DISC, as defined in section 992(a) of the Internal Revenue Code; or

EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2007.

 

Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 2006, section 290.01, is amended by adding a subdivision to read:

 

Subd. 5c. Tax haven. (a) "Tax haven" means a foreign jurisdiction designated under this subdivision.

 

(b) The commissioner may designate a foreign jurisdiction as a tax haven by revenue notice if the jurisdiction has:

 

(1) no or a nominal effective tax on income of a corporation; and

 

(2) corporate, business, bank, or tax secrecy rules or practices that, in the judgment of the commissioner, unreasonably restrict the ability of the United States, and thereby the state of Minnesota, to obtain information relevant to the enforcement of taxes on corporations based on net income. These rules or practices may be either formal laws, regulations, or rules or be informal government and business practices that have the effect of inhibiting access by law enforcement and tax administration authorities.

 

(c) The following foreign jurisdictions are deemed to be tax havens, unless the commissioner, by revenue notice, revokes the listing of a jurisdiction:

 

(1) Anguilla;

 

(2) Antigua and Barbuda;

Sec. 6. Minnesota Statutes 2006, section 290.17, subdivision 4, is amended to read:

 

Subd. 4. Unitary business principle. (a) If a trade or business conducted wholly within this state or partly within and partly without this state is part of a unitary business, the entire income of the unitary business is subject to apportionment pursuant to section 290.191. Notwithstanding subdivision 2, paragraph (c), none of the income of a unitary business is considered to be derived from any particular source and none may be allocated to a particular place except as provided by the applicable apportionment formula. The provisions of this subdivision do not apply to business income subject to subdivision 5, income of an insurance company, or income of an investment company determined under section 290.36.


Journal of the House - 97th Day - Tuesday, April 1, 2008 - Top of Page 9497

(b) The term "unitary business" means business activities or operations which result in a flow of value between them. The term may be applied within a single legal entity or between multiple entities and without regard to whether each entity is a sole proprietorship, a corporation, a partnership or a trust.

 

(c) Unity is presumed whenever there is unity of ownership, operation, and use, evidenced by centralized management or executive force, centralized purchasing, advertising, accounting, or other controlled interaction, but the absence of these centralized activities will not necessarily evidence a nonunitary business. Unity is also presumed when business activities or operations are of mutual benefit, dependent upon or contributory to one another, either individually or as a group.

 

(d) Where a business operation conducted in Minnesota is owned by a business entity that carries on business activity outside the state different in kind from that conducted within this state, and the other business is conducted entirely outside the state, it is presumed that the two business operations are unitary in nature, interrelated, connected, and interdependent unless it can be shown to the contrary.

 

(e) Unity of ownership is not deemed to exist when a corporation is involved unless that corporation is a member of a group of two or more business entities and more than 50 percent of the voting stock of each member of the group is directly or indirectly owned by a common owner or by common owners, either corporate or noncorporate, or by one or more of the member corporations of the group. For this purpose, the term "voting stock" shall include membership interests of mutual insurance holding companies formed under section 66A.40.

 

(f) The net income and apportionment factors under section 290.191 or 290.20 of foreign corporations and other foreign entities which are part of a unitary business shall not be included in the net income or the apportionment factors of the unitary business. A foreign corporation or other foreign entity which is required to file a return under this chapter shall file on a separate return basis. The net income and apportionment factors under section 290.191 or 290.20 of foreign operating corporations shall not be included in the net income or the apportionment factors of the unitary business except as provided in paragraph (g).

 

(g) The adjusted net income of a foreign operating corporation shall be deemed to be paid as a dividend on the last day of its taxable year to each shareholder thereof, in proportion to each shareholder's ownership, with which such corporation is engaged in a unitary business. Such deemed dividend shall be treated as a dividend under section 290.21, subdivision 4.

 

Dividends actually paid by a foreign operating corporation to a corporate shareholder which is a member of the same unitary business as the foreign operating corporation shall be eliminated from the net income of the unitary business in preparing a combined report for the unitary business. The adjusted net income of a foreign operating corporation shall be its net income adjusted as follows:

 

(1) any taxes paid or accrued to a foreign country, the commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or a United States possession or political subdivision of any of the foregoing shall be a deduction; and

 

(2) the subtraction from federal taxable income for payments received from foreign corporations or foreign operating corporations under section 290.01, subdivision 19d, clause (10), shall not be allowed.

 

If a foreign operating corporation incurs a net loss, neither income nor deduction from that corporation shall be included in determining the net income of the unitary business.

 

(h) For purposes of determining the net income of a unitary business and the factors to be used in the apportionment of net income pursuant to section 290.191 or 290.20, there must be included only the income and apportionment factors of domestic corporations or other domestic entities other than foreign operating corporations that are determined to be part of the unitary business pursuant to this subdivision, notwithstanding that foreign corporations or other foreign entities might be included in the unitary business.


Journal of the House - 97th Day - Tuesday, April 1, 2008 - Top of Page 9498

(i) (h) Deductions for expenses, interest, or taxes otherwise allowable under this chapter that are connected with or allocable against dividends, deemed dividends described in paragraph (g), or royalties, fees, or other like income described in section 290.01, subdivision 19d, clause (10), shall not be disallowed.

 

(j) (i) Each corporation or other entity, except a sole proprietorship, that is part of a unitary business must file combined reports as the commissioner determines. On the reports, all intercompany transactions between entities included pursuant to paragraph (h) (g) must be eliminated and the entire net income of the unitary business determined in accordance with this subdivision is apportioned among the entities by using each entity's Minnesota factors for apportionment purposes in the numerators of the apportionment formula and the total factors for apportionment purposes of all entities included pursuant to paragraph (h) (g) in the denominators of the apportionment formula.

 

(k) (j) If a corporation has been divested from a unitary business and is included in a combined report for a fractional part of the common accounting period of the combined report:

 

(1) its income includable in the combined report is its income incurred for that part of the year determined by proration or separate accounting; and

 

(2) its sales, property, and payroll included in the apportionment formula must be prorated or accounted for separately.

 

EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2007, except the modifications to the new paragraph (h) are effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2008.

Delete everything after the enacting clause and insert the following language of H. F. No. 2782, the first engrossment:

 

"Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 2006, section 123B.03, subdivision 1, is amended to read:

 

Subdivision 1. Background check required. (a) A school hiring authority, as defined in subdivision 3, shall request a criminal history background check from the superintendent of the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension on all individuals who are offered employment in the school, as defined in subdivision 3. In order to be eligible for employment, an individual who is offered employment must provide an executed criminal history consent form and a money order or check payable to either the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension or the school hiring authority, at the election of the school hiring authority, in an amount equal to the actual cost to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the school district of conducting the criminal history background check. A school hiring authority electing to receive payment may, at its discretion, accept payment in the form of a negotiable instrument other than a money order or check and shall pay the superintendent of the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension directly to conduct the background check. The superintendent of the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension shall conduct the background check by retrieving criminal history data maintained in the criminal justice information system computers. A school hiring authority, at its discretion, may elect not to request a criminal history background check on an individual who holds an initial entrance license issued by the State Board of Teaching or the commissioner of education within the 12 months preceding an offer of employment.

 

(b) A school hiring authority may use the results of a criminal background check conducted at the request of another school hiring authority if:

 

(1) the results of the criminal background check are on file with the other school hiring authority or otherwise accessible;

 

(2) the other school hiring authority conducted a criminal background check within the previous 12 months;

 

(3) the individual who is the subject of the criminal background check executes a written consent form giving a school hiring authority access to the results of the check; and

 

(4) there is no reason to believe that the individual has committed an act subsequent to the check that would disqualify the individual for employment.

 

(c) A school hiring authority may, at its discretion, request a criminal history background check from the superintendent of the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension on any individual who seeks to enter a school or its grounds for the purpose of serving as a school volunteer or working as an independent contractor or student employee. In order for an individual to enter a school or its grounds under this paragraph when the school hiring authority elects to request a criminal history background check on the individual, the individual first must provide an executed criminal history consent form and a money order, check, or other negotiable instrument payable to the school district in an amount equal to the actual cost to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the school district of conducting the criminal history background check. Notwithstanding section 299C.62, subdivision 1, the cost of the criminal history background check under this paragraph is the responsibility of the individual.

 

(d) For all nonstate residents who are offered employment in a school, a school hiring authority shall request a criminal history background check on such individuals from the superintendent of the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and from the government agency performing the same function in the resident state or, if no government entity performs the same function in the resident state, from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Such individuals must provide an executed criminal history consent form and a money order, check, or other negotiable


Journal of the House - 97th Day - Tuesday, April 1, 2008 - Top of Page 9503

instrument payable to the school hiring authority in an amount equal to the actual cost to the government agencies and the school district of conducting the criminal history background check. Notwithstanding section 299C.62, subdivision 1, the cost of the criminal history background check under this paragraph is the responsibility of the individual.

 

(e) Consistent with the terms in paragraph (a), a school hiring authority, as defined in subdivision 3, shall request a criminal history background check from the superintendent of the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension on an individual who elects to provide athletic coaching services or other extracurricular or cocurricular services to a district, regardless of the terms of the service, and the school hiring authority must have access to the results of the check before the individual begins providing the services.

 

EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective the day following final enactment."

 

Delete the title and insert:

 

"A bill for an act relating to education; requiring all K-12 athletic coaches to undergo criminal history background checks; amending Minnesota Statutes 2006, section 123B.03, subdivision 1."

 

 

The motion prevailed and the amendment was adopted.

S. F. No. 2653 was reported to the House.

 

 

Gardner moved to amend S. F. No. 2653, the first engrossment, as follows:

 

Delete everything after the enacting clause and insert the following language of H. F. No. 2785, the first engrossment:

 

"Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 2006, section 471.88, is amended by adding a subdivision to read:

 

Subd. 21. Contract with no bids required. Notwithstanding subdivision 1, a local school board may contract with a class of school district employees such as teachers or custodians where the spouse of a school board member is a member of the class of employees contracting with the school board and the employee spouse receives no special monetary or other benefit that is substantially different from the benefits that other members of the class receive under the employment contract. A school board invoking this exception must have a majority of disinterested school board members vote to approve the contract, direct the school board member spouse to abstain from voting to approve the contract, and publicly set out the essential facts of the contract at the meeting where the contract is approved.

 

EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective the day following final enactment."

 

Delete the title and insert:

 

"A bill for an act relating to education; establishing a conflict of interest exception for certain contracts requiring school board approval; amending Minnesota Statutes 2006, section 471.88, by adding a subdivision."

 

 

The motion prevailed and the amendment was adopted.
