  1  4    422.60  IMPOSITION OF TAX.
  1  5    A franchise tax according to and measured by average
  1  6 deposits is imposed on financial institutions for the
  1  7 privilege of doing business in this state as financial
  1  8 institutions.
  1  9    Sec. 2.  Section 422.61, Code 1995, is amended by striking
  1 10 the section and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
  1 11    422.61  DEFINITIONS.
  1 12    In this division, unless the context otherwise requires:
  1 13    1.  "Average deposits" means one of the following:
  1 14    a.  For a financial institution using a calendar year for
  1 15 financial reporting purposes, the amount equal to the sum of
  1 16 deposits held on the last day of the preceding calendar year
  1 17 plus the deposits held on the last day of each calendar
  1 18 quarter during the calendar year divided by five.
  1 19    b.  For a financial institution using a fiscal year other
  1 20 than a calendar year for financial reporting purposes, the
  1 21 amount equal to the sum of deposits held on the last day of
  1 22 the preceding fiscal year plus the deposits held on the last
  1 23 day of each calendar quarter during the fiscal year plus, if
  1 24 not already added, deposits held on the last day of the fiscal
  1 25 year divided by the number of amounts that are added together
  1 26 to arrive at the sum.
  1 27    c.  For a financial institution with a financial reporting
  1 28 year of less than twelve full months, the amount equal to the
  1 29 sum of deposits held on the last day of the preceding fiscal
  1 30 year, if any, plus deposits held on the last day of each
  1 31 calendar quarter during the fiscal year, divided by the number
  1 32 of amounts that are added together to arrive at the sum, and
  1 33 multiplied by the percentage that the number of full months in
  1 34 the fiscal period bears to twelve.  If the fiscal year does
  1 35 not include the last day of a calendar quarter, the last day
  2  1 of each calendar month shall be used in determining average
  2  2 deposits under this subsection.
  2  3    2.  "Deposits" means all of the following:
  2  4    a.  The amount of money placed in the custody of a
  2  5 financial institution for safety or convenience purposes that

  2  7 the terms and conditions of any deposit agreement.
  2  8    b.  The amount of money placed in the custody of a
  2  9 financial institution for which a certificate may be issued
  2 10 where the amount is payable on demand, on certain notice, or
  2 11 at a fixed future date or time.
  2 12    "Deposits" do not include money placed in the custody of
  2 13 the trust department of a financial institution having
  2 14 authorized trust powers in a fiduciary capacity, if that money
  2 15 is not placed in the custody of a financial institution as a
  2 16 deposit by the trust department.
  2 17    3.  "Financial institution" means a state bank as defined
  2 18 in section 524.103, a state bank chartered under the laws of
  2 19 any other state, a national banking association, a trust
  2 20 company, a federally chartered savings and loan association,
  2 21 an out-of-state state chartered savings bank, a financial

  2 23 non-Iowa chartered savings and loan association, an
  2 24 association incorporated or authorized to do business under
  2 25 chapter 534, or a production credit association.
  2 26    4.  "Net financial income" means the income of a financial
  2 27 institution, including the income of any service corporations
  2 28 or subsidiaries which pursuant to generally accepted
  2 29 accounting principles and regulatory reporting requirements
  2 30 are included in the consolidated report of condition of the
  2 31 financial institution, after deduction of ordinary and
  2 32 necessary expenses, and before the deduction of federal income
  2 33 taxes.  "Net financial income" includes, but is not limited
  2 34 to, income from fiduciary activities, interest, rent, or
  2 35 service charges.  As used in this subsection, ordinary and
  3  1 necessary expenses include, but are not limited to, fees,
  3  2 depreciation on furniture and equipment, interest, salaries
  3  3 and benefits, and supplies.  If the taxable year of a
  3  4 financial institution is different from the taxable year of
  3  5 any of its includable service corporations or subsidiaries,
  3  6 the taxable year of the financial institution shall be used
  3  7 for the purpose of determining net financial income.
  3  8    For taxable years beginning in 1996 through 2010, net
  3  9 financial income shall be reduced by any tax net operating
  3 10 loss carry forwards which arose prior to the taxable year
  3 11 beginning in 1996 but not more than fifteen taxable years
  3 12 preceding the taxable year, to the extent the loss has not
  3 13 been offset against the net financial income of a prior
  3 14 taxable year.
  3 15    5.  "Taxable year" means the calendar year or the fiscal
  3 16 year ending during a calendar year, for which the tax is
  3 17 payable.  "Fiscal year" also includes a period of less than
  3 18 twelve months if pursuant to generally accepted accounting
  3 19 principles or regulatory accounting requirements the financial
  3 20 institution reports earnings for a period of less than twelve
  3 21 months.
  3 22    Sec. 3.  Section 422.62, Code 1995, is amended to read as
  3 23 follows:
  3 24    422.62  DUE AND DELINQUENT DATES.
  3 25    The franchise tax is due and payable on the first day
  3 26 following the end of the taxable year of each financial
  3 27 institution, and is delinquent after the last day of the
  3 28 fourth month following the due date or forty-five days after
  3 29 the due date of the federal tax return, excluding extensions
  3 30 of time to file, whichever is the later.  Every financial
  3 31 institution shall file a return as prescribed by the director
  3 32 on or before the delinquency date.
  3 33    Sec. 4.  Section 422.63, Code 1995, is amended by striking
  3 34 the section and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
  3 35    422.63  AMOUNT OF TAX.
  4  1    1.  The franchise tax is imposed annually in an amount
  4  2 equal to one dollar on each one thousand dollars of average
  4  3 deposits in the taxable year subject to the limitation in
  4  4 subsection 3.
  4  5    2.  If a financial institution is subject to tax in more
  4  6 than one state, the tax shall be imposed on the amount of
  4  7 average deposits attributable to its operations in this state.
  4  8 Deposits shall be attributable to operations in this state if
  4  9 they are accepted at an office of the financial institution
  4 10 located in this state notwithstanding the location of the
  4 11 office that may ultimately maintain the deposits.  For
  4 12 financial institutions that are subject to tax in more than
  4 13 one state, the limitation in subsection 3 shall be calculated
  4 14 on the percentage of net financial income that the average
  4 15 deposits in this state bear to total average deposits of the
  4 16 financial institution.
  4 17    3.  The franchise tax shall not exceed five percent of the
  4 18 net financial income of the financial institution in the
  4 19 taxable year.
  4 20    Sec. 5.  Section 422.66, Code 1995, is amended by adding
  4 21 the following new unnumbered paragraph:
  4 22    NEW UNNUMBERED PARAGRAPH.  The department may use
  4 23 electronic funds transfer to collect the franchise tax or make
  4 24 refunds.  The use of electronic funds transfer shall not
  4 25 affect the rights of any party with regard to the calculation,
  4 26 payment, collection, or refund of the franchise tax.
  4 27    Sec. 6.  This Act takes effect January 1, 1996, for taxable
  4 28 years beginning on or after that date.  
  4 29                           EXPLANATION
  4 30    The bill restructures the franchise tax on financial
  4 31 institutions from a tax measured by net income to a tax based
  4 32 on average deposits for the tax year.  Average deposits are
  4 33 the average of the total amount of funds held by the financial
  4 34 institution on the last day of the preceding tax year and at
  4 35 the end of each calendar quarter during the tax year and which
  5  1 is held for the safety and convenience of the depositor who
  5  2 may withdraw the funds at will, upon certain notice, or at a
  5  3 fixed date.  The bill limits the franchise tax to 5 percent of
  5  4 the net income of the financial institution.  Net operating
  5  5 losses occurring prior to tax years beginning in 1996 may be
  5  6 carried forward for up to 15 years until used.
  5  7    The bill takes effect January 1, 1996, for tax years
  5  8 beginning on or after that date.
