(2) Any corporation which is required by KRS § 141.900 to allocate and apportion its net income shall allocate and apportion its net income as provided in this section.
(3) Rents and royalties from real property, intangible or tangible personal property, capital gains and losses, interest, or patent or copyright royalties, to the extent that they constitute nonbusiness income, shall be allocated as provided in subsections (4) to (7) of this section.
(4) (a) Net rents and royalties from real property located in this state are allocable to this state.
(b) Net rents and royalties from tangible personal property are allocable to this state if and to the extent that the property is utilized in this state; or in their entirety if the corporation’s commercial domicile is in this state and the corporation is not organized under the laws of or taxable in the state in which the property is utilized.
(c) The extent of utilization of tangible personal property in a state is determined by multiplying the rents and royalties by a fraction, the numerator of which is
the number of days of physical location of the property in the state during the rental or royalty period in the taxable year and the denominator of which is the number of days of physical location of the property everywhere during all rental or royalty periods in the taxable year. If the physical location of the property during the rental or royalty period is unknown or unascertainable by the corporation, the tangible personalty is utilized in the state in which the property was located at the time the rental or royalty payer obtained possession.
(d) Net rents and royalties from intangible personal property located in this state are allocable to this state. For purposes of this section, royalties from property leased in Kentucky shall be considered as royalties from intangible personal property.
(5) (a) Capital gains and losses from sales or other dispositions of real property located in this state are allocable to this state.

If the basis of receipts from patent royalties does not permit allocation to states or if the accounting procedures do not reflect states of utilization, the patent is utilized in the state in which the corporation’s commercial domicile is located.

(8) (a) Except as provided in subsection (9) of this section, all business income shall be apportioned to this state by multiplying the income by a fraction, the numerator of which is the property factor, representing twenty-five percent (25%) of the fraction, plus the payroll factor, representing twenty-five percent (25%) of the fraction, plus the sales factor, representing fifty percent (50%) of the fraction, and the denominator of which is four (4), reduced by the number
of factors, if any, having no denominator, provided that if the sales factor has no denominator, then the denominator shall be reduced by two (2).
(b) 1. The property factor is a fraction, the numerator of which is the average value of the corporation’s real and tangible personal property owned or rented and used in this state during the tax period and the denominator of which is the average value of all the corporation’s real and tangible personal property owned or rented and used during the tax period; provided, however, that property which has been certified as a pollution control facility as defined in KRS § 224.1-300 shall be excluded from the property factor.
2. Property owned is valued at its original cost. If the original cost of any property is not determinable or is nominal or zero (0) the property shall be valued by the department pursuant to administrative regulations promulgated by the department. Property rented is valued at eight (8) times the net annual rental rate. Net annual rental rate is the annual rental rate paid by the corporation less any annual rental rate received by the corporation from subrentals, provided that the rental and subrentals are reasonable. If the department determines that the annual rental or subrental rate is unreasonable, or if a nominal or zero (0) rate is charged, the department may determine and apply the rental rate as will reasonably reflect the value of the property rented by the corporation.
3. The average value of property shall be determined by averaging the values at the beginning and ending of the tax period but the department may require the averaging of monthly values during the tax period if reasonably required to reflect properly the average value of the property.
(c) The payroll factor is a fraction, the numerator of which is the total amount paid or payable in this state during the tax period by the corporation for compensation, and the denominator of which is the total compensation paid or payable by the corporation everywhere during the tax period. Compensation is paid or payable in this state if:
1. The individual‘s service is performed entirely within the state;
2. The individual’s service is performed both within and without the state, but the service performed without the state is incidental to the individual’s service within the state; or
3. Some of the service is performed in the state and the base of operations or, if there is no base of operations, the place from which the service is directed or controlled is in the state, or the base of operations or the place from which the service is directed or controlled is not in any state in which some part of the service is performed, but the individual’s residence is in this state.
(d) 1. The sales factor is a fraction, the numerator of which is the total sales of the corporation in this state during the tax period, and the denominator of which is the total sales of the corporation everywhere during the tax period.
2. Sales of tangible personal property are in this state if:
a. The property is delivered or shipped to a purchaser, other than the United States government, or to the designee of the purchaser within this state regardless of the f.o.b. point or other conditions of the sale; or
b. The property is shipped from an office, store, warehouse, factory, or other place of storage in this state and the purchaser is the United States government.
3. Sales, other than sales of tangible personal property, are in this state if the income-producing activity is performed in this state; or the income- producing activity is performed both in and outside this state and a greater proportion of the income-producing activity is performed in this state than in any other state, based on costs of performance.
(9) (a) If the allocation and apportionment provisions of this section do not fairly represent the extent of the corporation’s business activity in this state, the corporation may petition for or the department may require, in respect to all or any part of the corporation’s business activity, if reasonable:
1. Separate accounting;
2. The exclusion of any one (1) or more of the factors;
3. The inclusion of one (1) or more additional factors which will fairly represent the corporation’s business activity in this state; or
4. The employment of any other method to effectuate an equitable allocation and apportionment of income.

a. Total business income shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be Kentucky receipts from the services for the tax period and the denominator of which shall be the total receipts everywhere from the services for the tax period;
b. For purposes of subdivision a. of this subparagraph, Kentucky receipts shall be determined by multiplying total receipts for the tax period from each separate investment company for which the services are performed by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction shall be the average of the number of shares owned by the investment company’s shareholders domiciled in this state at the
beginning of and at the end of the investment company’s taxable year, and the denominator of the fraction shall be the average of the number of the shares owned by the investment company shareholders everywhere at the beginning of and at the end of the investment company’s taxable year; and

The payroll factor shall be determined as provided in subsection (8)(c) of this section. The property factor and sales factor shall be determined as provided by administrative regulations promulgated by the department.
