Georgia Code Section 48-7-31(d)(2)(A) states, in part, that the gross receipts factor is a fraction, the numerator of which is the total gross receipts from business within this State during the tax period and the denominator of which is the total gross receipts from business done everywhere for the tax period.

P rint Print C lear Clear Page 3 FORM 900 STATE OCCUPATION TAX GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS INTRODUCTION The 1983 session of the Georgia General Assembly passed legislation, House Bill 440, which provided for a revision of the taxation of banks and mutual financial institutions. Effective January 1, 1984, banks and mutual financial institutions are subject to a special state occupation tax, corporate income tax and net worth tax. The corporate income tax and net worth tax must be computed on the corporate tax return, Form 600 or Form 600S, on the same basis as other regular corporations. However, a special tax credit will be allowed against the corporate income tax liability. Form 900 is correlative in some respects with the local return, Form PT440, which is filed with the counties and cities enacting an ordinance to impose the new business license tax. FILING REQUIREMENTS All financial institutions that conduct business or own property in the State of Georgia are required to file a Georgia Financial Institutions Business Occupation Tax Return, Form 900. WHEN AND WHERE TO FILE The return is due on March 1 of the year following the calendar year in which gross receipts are computed.

Interest accruing for months beginning before July 1, 2016 accrues at the rate of 12 percent annually. Interest that accrues for months beginning on or after July 1, 2016 accrues at an annual rate equal to the Federal Reserve prime rate plus 3 percent. The interest rate will be reviewed and may be adjusted in January of each subsequent calendar year based on the Federal Reserve Rate. Mail returns to: Georgia Department of Revenue P.O.

GEORGIA GROSS RECEIPTS Effective March 29, 1996 and applicable to all returns due on or after March 1, 1997, Georgia Code Section 48-6-95(b)(1) provides that Georgia gross receipts for a financial institution conducting business both within and outside the State be determined using the apportionment factor prescribed under Georgia Code Section 48-7-31(d)(2)(A). Georgia Code Section 48-7-31(d)(2)(A) states, in part, that the gross receipts factor is a fraction, the numerator of which is the total gross receipts from business done within this State during the tax period and the denominator of which is the total gross receipts from business done everywhere for the tax period. Gross receipts are in this State if the receipts are derived from customers within this State or if the receipts are otherwise attributable to this State’s marketplace. Using Schedule 8, Page 2, determine the Georgia gross receipts factor by dividing the gross receipts within Georgia by the gross receipts everywhere. Multiply the balance of gross receipts (Line 1, Schedule 8, Page 2) by the Georgia gross receipts factor. Enter the amount of gross receipts attributable to Georgia in Line 3, Schedule 8, Page 2 and in Line 8, Schedule 1, Page 1. COMPUTATION OF TAX The State Occupation tax is 0.25% of the adjusted gross receipts shown on Line 1, Schedule 2, Page 1, Form 900. The amount of tax must be entered in Line 3, Schedule 2, on Line 1, Schedule 3, and on Line 1, Schedule 4. TAX CREDITS Municipal and County Business License taxes and State Occupation taxes will be allowed as a dollar for dollar tax credit against the State income tax liability of the depository financial institution for the calendar or fiscal tax year during which the taxes are paid; not the calendar year in which the gross reciepts were recieved. If the tax credit exceeds the income tax liability of such institution for any year, the amount of any unused credit may be credited over a period of five years from the tax year in which the unused credit arose. Effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 1996, if the assets of an institution are acquired by another institution in a transaction described in Section 381 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the acquiring institution can use any unused credit of the distributor or transferor institution. Effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2001, if a depository financial institution has elected Subchapter ‘S’ status the credit may be passed through on a pro rata basis to the institution’s shareholders. If the amount of the pro rata credit exceeds a shareholder’s individual income tax liability, the amount of any unused credit may be credited over a period of five years from the tax year in which the unused credit arose. No such credit shall be allowed the taxpayer against prior years’ tax liability. Enter on Line 1, Schedule 4, Form 900, the amount of tax shown on Line 1, Schedule 3, Form 900. Also enter on Line 2, Schedule 4, Form 900, the amount of Business License taxes paid by banks and mutual financial institutions on Form PT440 to the county and/or municipality. If you are required to file more than one return for Business License taxes, Form PT440, enter on Line 2, Schedule 4, Form 900, the total of Business License taxes shown on all Forms PT440. The amount shown on Line 3, Schedule 4, Form 900, represents the total amount of tax credit available for transfer to the Corporate Income Tax Return, Form 600, to be applied against the corporate income tax liability. Copies of Form PT440 MUST be attached to Form 900. NOTICE: This tax credit is NOT allowable against the corporate net worth tax which is a separate tax, computed on the corporate income tax return. STOCK ASSOCIATIONS Mutual Financial Institutions which have capital stock will be treated as a bank for State Occupation tax purposes. ACCOUNTING METHOD The election of cash or accrual method for computation of gross receipts will be permitted with filing of the first return. Subsequent returns must be filed on same basis as elected with the first return, unless permission to change accounting method is granted by the Commissioner. AMENDED RETURNS Georgia has no special form for the filing of an amended return. Form 900, with attached explanation, should be used and the checkbox “AMENDED” should be checked. Attach check to cover any additional tax plus interest at 12 percent per year. If you are due refund, no further correspondence will be necessary, as your return will be processed for a refund of any overpayment of taxes.

About the Corporate Income Tax

The IRS and most states require corporations to file an income tax return, with the exact filing requirements depending on the type of company.

Sole proprietorships or disregarded entities like LLCs are filed on Schedule C (or the state equivalent) of the owner's personal income tax return, flow-through entities like S Corporations or Partnerships are generally required to file an informational return equivilent to the IRS Form 1120S or Form 1065, and full corporations must file the equivalent of federal Form 1120 (and, unlike flow-through corporations, are often subject to a corporate tax liability).

Additional forms are available for a wide variety of specific entities and transactions including fiduciaries, nonprofits, and companies involved in other specific types of business.
