SF 2492: Creating a state corporate income tax deduction for net controlled foreign corporation tested income, and including retroactive applicability provisions

Signed into law

What it does

This bill creates a state corporate income tax deduction for net controlled foreign corporation tested income (NCTI).35(12) specifically references global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) under section 951A of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) for purposes of a state corporate income tax deduction allowed under that Code section. Recent federal legislation replaced GILTI with NCTI under section 951A of the IRC. NCTI is the aggregate amount of net income subject to federal tax that is earned by a taxpayer from controlled foreign corporations of the taxpayer, and is applied more broadly to foreign income than GILTI.
