Net profit from a business or profession conducted both within and without the boundaries of the City shall be considered as having a taxable situs in the City for purposes of municipal income taxation in the same proportion as the average ratio of:
(a) The average original cost of the real and tangible personal property owned or used by the taxpayer in the business or profession in the City during the taxable period to the average original cost of all the real and tangible personal property owned or used by the taxpayer in the business or profession during the same period, wherever situated. As used in this section, real property includes property rented or leased by the taxpayer and the value of such property shall be determined by multiplying the annual rental thereon by eight.
(b) Wages, salaries and other compensation paid during the taxable period to persons employed in the business or profession for services performed in the City to wages, salaries and other compensation paid during the same period to persons employed in the business or profession, wherever their services are performed. For tax year 2004 and subsequent tax years, wages, salaries, and other compensation shall be included to the extent that they represent qualifying wages.
(c) Gross receipts of the business or profession from sales made and services performed during the taxable period in the City to gross receipts of the business or profession during the same period from sales and services, wherever made or performed.
In the event that the foregoing allocation formula does not produce an equitable result, another basis (including the books and records method) may, under uniform regulations, be substituted so as to produce such result.
