AI Summary
- Replaces Florida's existing consolidated corporate income tax return system with mandatory unitary combined reporting for groups of corporations related through common ownership whose business activities are integrated, dependent upon, or contribute to a flow of value among members
- Defines a unitary combined group member as a corporation with 50% or more of its outstanding voting stock directly or indirectly owned or controlled by the group, with provisions for including corporations below that threshold based on business activity integration
- Requires all members of a unitary combined group to file a single combined return beginning with taxable years starting on or after January 1, 2024, with combined apportionment factors and intercompany sales excluded from the sales factor numerator and denominator
- Repeals the existing affiliated group consolidated return provisions under s. 220.131 and eliminates provisions that previously allowed tax credits to be claimed on a consolidated return basis for several credit programs, including scholarship contributions, community contributions, and entertainment industry incentives
- Grants the Department of Revenue broad rulemaking authority to define unitary business principles and common control, and authorizes the executive director to add income or apportionment factors of related entities to prevent substantial tax avoidance, with any additional revenue deposited into the General Revenue Fund
