What’s in it
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.
Read the full explanation
35(12) specifically references GILTI income under section 951A of the IRC. The bill strikes the specific reference to GILTI but continues to allow the deduction for income under section 951A of the IRC which is now recharacterized as NCTI.
