Section 48-13-75. Apportionment of net worth of foreign corporation; formula; determination of receipts derived from business in state; fixing value of capital stock; alternate method

   (a) For the purpose of ascertaining the corporate net worth tax imposed on a foreign corporation subject to the tax, the corporation shall be deemed to have employed in this state that proportion of its entire outstanding issued capital stock and surplus which its assets in this state and the gross receipts of business done in this state bear to all of its assets and the total gross receipts of business done by the corporation. Receipts shall be deemed to have been derived from business done within this state only if received from products shipped to customers in this state or delivered within this state to customers. In determining gross receipts within this state, receipts from sales negotiated or effected through offices of the taxpayer outside the state and delivered from storage from within the state to customers outside the state shall be excluded. Capital stock having no nominal or par value shall be deemed to have the value fixed for the stock by the commissioner from the information contained in the return to be filed by the corporation as provided in Code Section 48-13-77 and from any other information available to the commissioner.

(b) The commissioner may provide by regulation for an alternate method for apportionment of the net worth of a foreign corporation to this state when the formula set forth in subsection (a) of this Code section does not accurately reflect the volume of business done in this state in relation to the total volume of business done by the foreign corporation.
