(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter to the contrary, including Sections 40-18-2 and 40-18-24.2, no income tax shall be due the State of Alabama from a nonresident member of a qualified investment partnership, or from the qualified investment partnership itself, with respect to the nonresident member’s distributive share of interest, dividends, distributions, or gains and losses from qualifying investment securities owned by the entity, as long as the nonresident member does not actively participate in the day-to-day management of the entity. Provided, however, that in the event a qualified investment partnership invests in the qualifying investment securities of an entity that is majority owned by a nonresident member of the qualified investment partnership, income tax shall be due by such nonresident member with respect to the member’s distributive share of any interest, dividends, distributions, or gains and losses from the qualifying investment securities of the other entity. For purposes of this section and Section 40-18-24.2, “majority owned” means ownership of more than 50 percent of the issued and outstanding voting stock of the other entity, applying the attribution rules of 26 U.S.C. § 318.
