DETERMINATION OF TAX
   175.0701 METHOD OF DETERMINATION.
   (a)   In the taxation of income which is subject to the municipal income tax, the portion of the entire net profits of a taxpayer to be allocated as having been derived from within the Municipality shall be determined as follows:
      (1)   Multiply the entire net profits by a business allocation percentage to be determined by a three-factor formula of property, payroll and sales, each of which shall be given equal weight as follows:
         A.   The average net book value of the real and tangible personal property owned or used by the taxpayer in the business or profession in the Municipality during the taxable period to the average net book value 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 subsection (a)(1)A. hereof, 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 Municipality to wages, salaries and other compensation paid during the same period to persons employed in the business or profession, wherever their services are performed.
         C.   Gross receipts of the business or profession from sales made and services performed during the taxable period in the Municipality to gross receipts of the business or profession during the same period from sales and services, whenever made or performed.
      (2)   In the event that the foregoing allocation formula does not produce an equitable result, the Administrator may approve the use of books and records as a substitute method, by applying the following:
         A.   The net profits allocable to the Municipality from business, profession or other activities conducted in the Municipality by corporations or unincorporated entities (whether resident or non- resident) may be determined from the records of the taxpayer only if the taxpayer has bona fide records which disclose with reasonable accuracy what portion of his net profits is attributable to that part of his activities conducted within the Municipality.
         B.   If the books and records of the taxpayer are used as the basis for apportioning net profits, a statement must accompany the return explaining the manner in which such apportionment is made in sufficient detail to enable the Administrator to determine whether the net profits attributable to the Municipality are apportioned with reasonable accuracy.
         C.   In determining the income allocable to the Municipality from the books and records of a taxpayer, an adjustment may be made for the contribution made to the production of such income by headquarters activities of the taxpayer, whether such headquarters is within or without the Municipality.
            (Ord. 2005-05. Passed 1-24-05.)
   175.0702 SALES MADE IN THE MUNICIPALITY DEFINED.
   As used in subsection (c) of Section 175.0701, "sales made in the Municipality" means:
   (a)    All sales of tangible personal property which is delivered within the Municipality regardless of where title passes if shipped or delivered from a stock of goods within the Municipality.
   (b)    All sales of tangible personal property which is delivered within the Municipality regardless of where title passes, even though transported from a point outside the Municipality, if the taxpayer is regularly engaged through its own employees in the solicitation or promotion of sales within the Municipality and the sales result from such solicitation or promotion.
   (c)    All sales of tangible personal property which is shipped from a place within the Municipality to purchasers outside of the Municipality, regardless of where title passes if the taxpayer is not, through its own employees, regularly engaged in the solicitation or promotion of sales at the place where delivery is made.
      (Ord. 1021. Passed 8-21-67.)
   175.0703 TOTAL ALLOCATION.
   Add together the percentages determined in accordance with subsections (a), (b), and (c) of Section 175.0701 or such of the aforesaid percentages as are applicable to the particular taxpayer and divide the total so obtained by the number of percentages used in deriving the total in order to obtain the business allocation percentage referred to in Section 175.0701.
   A factor is applicable even though it may be allocable entirely in or outside the Municipality.
(Ord. 1021. Passed 8-21-67.)
   175.0704 RENTALS.
   Rental income received by a taxpayer shall be included in the computation of net profits from business activities under subsections (c), (d) and (e) of Section 175.0501, only if and to the extent that the rental, ownership, management or operations of the real estate from which such rentals are derived (whether so rented, managed or operated by a taxpayer individually or through agents or other representatives) constitutes a business activity of the taxpayer in whole or in part.
   Where the gross monthly rental of any and all real properties regardless of number and value, aggregates in excess of two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) per month, it shall be prima-facie evidence that the rental, ownership, management or operation of such properties is a business activity of such taxpayer, and the net income of such rental property shall be subject to tax.
   In the case of commercial property, the owner shall be considered engaged in a business activity when the rental is based on a fixed or fluctuating percentage of gross or net sales, receipts or profits of the lessee, whether or not such rental exceeds two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) per month.
   In the case of farm property, the owner shall be considered engaged in a business activity when he shares in crops or when the rental is based on a percentage of the gross or net receipts derived from the farm, whether or not the gross income exceeds the two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) per month.
   The person who operates a licensed rooming house shall be considered in business whether or not the gross income exceeds two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) per month.
