EMERGENCY RULES

DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE


[ Filed January 13, 2012, 3:25 p.m. , effective January 13, 2012, 3:25 p.m. ]


     Effective Date of Rule: Immediately.

     Purpose: Part I of chapter 23, Laws of 2010 1st sp. sess. (2ESSB 6143) changed the apportionment and nexus requirements for apportionable activities, effective June 1, 2010. The department has adopted the following emergency rules to explain how these requirements apply:


WAC 458-20-19402 (Rule 19402) Single factor receipts apportionment -- Generally.
WAC 458-20-19403 (Rule 19403) Single factor receipts apportionment -- Royalties.
WAC 458-20-19404 (Rule 19404) Financial institutions -- Income apportionment.

     There are no changes from the previous emergency rules filed October 3, 2011, under WSR 11-20-074.

     Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 82.32.300 and 82.01.060(2).

     Under RCW 34.05.350 the agency for good cause finds that immediate adoption, amendment, or repeal of a rule is necessary for the preservation of the public health, safety, or general welfare, and that observing the time requirements of notice and opportunity to comment upon adoption of a permanent rule would be contrary to the public interest.

     Reasons for this Finding: An emergency adoption of these new rules is necessary because permanent rules cannot be adopted at this time.

     Number of Sections Adopted in Order to Comply with Federal Statute: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; Federal Rules or Standards: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; or Recently Enacted State Statutes: New 3, Amended 0, Repealed 0.

     Number of Sections Adopted at Request of a Nongovernmental Entity: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0.

     Number of Sections Adopted on the Agency's Own Initiative: New 3, Amended 0, Repealed 0.

     Number of Sections Adopted in Order to Clarify, Streamline, or Reform Agency Procedures: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0.

     Number of Sections Adopted Using Negotiated Rule Making: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0;      Pilot Rule Making: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0; or Other Alternative Rule Making: New 0, Amended 0, Repealed 0.

     Date Adopted: January 13, 2012.
