This subsection applies to each taxpayer, including a combined group filing a combined return or an affiliated group electing to file a consolidated return under section 43-947, if fifty per cent percent or more of that taxpayer's gross income is derived from air commerce.

Sec. 2. Section 43-1147, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to read:
43-1147. Situs of sales of other than tangible personal property; rules; definitions
A. For taxable years beginning before December 31, 2023, except as provided by subsection B of this section, sales, other than sales of tangible personal property, are in this state if either of the following applies:
1. The income-producing activity is performed in this state.
2. The income-producing activity is performed both in and outside this state and a greater proportion of the income-producing activity is performed in this state than in any other state, based on costs of performance.
B. For taxable years beginning from and after December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2023, a multistate service provider may elect to treat sales from services as being in this state based on a combination of income-producing activity sales and market sales. If the election under this subsection is made pursuant to subsection C F of this section, the sales of services that are in this state shall be determined for taxable years beginning from and after:
1. December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2014, by the sum of the following:
(a) Eighty-five percent of the market sales.
(b) Fifteen percent of the income-producing activity sales.
2. December 31, 2014 through December 31, 2015, by the sum of the following:
(a) Ninety percent of the market sales.
(b) Ten percent of the income-producing activity sales.
3. December 31, 2015 through December 31, 2016, by the sum of the following:
(a) Ninety-five percent of the market sales.
(b) Five percent of the income-producing activity sales.
4. December 31, 2016 through december 31, 2023, by one hundred percent of the market sales.
C. For taxable years beginning from and after December 31, 2023, sales, other than sales of tangible personal property, are in this state if the taxpayer's market for the sales is in this state. The taxpayer's market for sales is in this state as follows:
1. For the sale, rental, lease or license of real property, if and to the extent the property is located in this state.
2. For the rental, lease or license of tangible personal property, if and to the extent the property is located in this state. Except for transportation property, the location of the property is determined when the property is first placed in service by the lessee. For transportation property, the property is located in this state to the extent the property is used in this state. An aircraft is deemed to be used in this state based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of landings of the aircraft in this state and the denominator of which is the total number of landings of the aircraft.
3. For interest, fees and penalties, in connection with loans secured by real property and the sale of the loans secured by real property, the market is in this state if the property is located in this state. The determination of real property securing a loan is made at the time of the original agreement without regard to subsequent substitutions of collateral.
4. For interest, fees and penalties in connection with loans not secured by real property and the sale of the loans not secured by real property, the market is in this state if the borrower is located in this state.
5. For interest, dividends and other income from investment and trading assets and activities, the market is in this state if the asset is properly assigned to a regular place of business of the taxpayer in this state. An asset is properly assigned to a regular place of business in this state if the trading policies or guidelines with respect to the asset or activity are established in this state. The market for the sale of the investment or trading assets is in this state if the customer is in this state.
6. For the sale of a service, if and to the extent the service is delivered to a location in this state.
7. For intangible property that is:
(a) Rented, leased or licensed, if and to the extent the property is used in this state, except intangible property used in marketing a good or service to a consumer, is used in this state if that good or service is purchased by a consumer who is in this state.
(b) Sold, if and to the extent the property is used in this state, except:
(i) A contract right, government license or similar intangible property that authorizes the holder to conduct a business activity in a specific geographic area is used in this state if the geographic area includes all or part of this state.
(ii) Receipts from intangible property sales that are contingent on the productivity, use or disposition of the intangible property shall be treated as receipts from the rental, lease or licensing of such intangible property under subdivision (a) of this paragraph.
(iii) Unless otherwise provided in this section, all other receipts from a sale of intangible property shall be excluded from the numerator and denominator of the sales factor.
D. If the state or states of assignment under subsection C of this section cannot be determined, the state or states of assignment shall be reasonably approximated.
E. If the taxpayer is not taxable in a state to which a receipt is assigned under subsection C or D of this section, or if the state of assignment cannot be determined under subsection C of this section or reasonably approximated under subsection D of this section, the receipt shall be excluded from the denominator of the sales factor.
C. F. A multistate service provider may elect to treat sales from services as being in this state under subsection B of this section as follows:
1. The election must be made on the taxpayer's timely filed original income tax return. The election is:
(a) Effective retroactively for the full taxable year of the income tax return on which the election is made.
(b) Binding on the taxpayer for at least five consecutive taxable years, regardless of whether the taxpayer no longer meets the percentage threshold of a multistate service provider during that time period, except as provided by paragraph 2 of this subsection. To continue with the election after five consecutive taxable years, the taxpayer must meet the qualifications to be considered a multistate service provider and renew the election for another five consecutive taxable years.
2. During the election period, the election may be terminated as follows:
(a) Without the permission of the department on the acquisition or merger of the taxpayer.
(b) With the permission of the department before the expiration of five consecutive taxable years.
D. G. For a multistate service provider under subsection E I, paragraph 3, subdivision (b) of this section, an election under subsection B of this section is limited to the treatment of sales for educational services. For a multistate service provider under subsection E I, paragraph 3, subdivision (c) of this section, an election under subsection B of this section is limited to the treatment of sales for support services, the payment for which is a percentage of the sales for educational services generated by a regionally accredited institution of higher education.
H. The department shall adopt rules as necessary for the purposes of this section.

4. "Received the benefit of the service in this state" means the services are received by the purchaser in this state. If the state where the services are received cannot be readily determined, the services are considered to be received at the home of the customer or, in the case of a business, the office of the customer from which the services were ordered in the regular course of the customer's trade or business. If the ordering location cannot be determined, the services are considered to be received at the home or office of the customer to which the services were billed.
