ARKANSAS CORPORATION INCOME TAX REGULATIONS

Pursuant to the authority vested in the Commissioner of Revenues and in compliance with Ark. Code Ann. § 26-18-301 and § 26-51-104, the Commissioner of Revenues of the Department of Finance and Administration, with the approval of the Governor, does hereby promulgate the following rules and regulations for the enforcement and administration of Ark. Code Ann. §26-51101 et seq.

EFFECTIVE DATE: All regulations previously promulgated by the Commissioner of Revenues for purposes of enforcing or implementing the Arkansas Income Tax Act of 1929 (as amended) are hereby specifically repealed as of the effective date of these regulations.

PURPOSE OF THE REGULATIONS: The following regulations are promulgated to implement and clarify the Arkansas Income Tax Act of 1929 (§ 26-51-101 et seq.), as amended. All persons affected by or relying upon these regulations are advised to read them in their entirety, as the meaning of the provisions of one regulation may depend upon the provisions contained in another regulation.

INTERPRETATION: In those instances where Arkansas has adopted a section of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) as its own law, the regulations promulgated by the Treasury Department to aid in interpreting the IRC section should be used for guidance in applying the law. Moreover, when an IRC section is adopted, that section is adopted in its entirety, despite language in the Arkansas adoption statute such as "regarding" which could be construed to limit the scope of the adoption.

Notes:

(1) In those instances where Arkansas has adopted a section of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) as its own law, the regulations promulgated by the Treasury Department to aid in interpreting the IRC section should be used for guidance in applying the law. For example, at ACA 26-51-306(a)(4) Arkansas adopted IRC Sec. 112 as in effect on January 1, 1991 regarding tax treatment of combat pay. The tax practitioner would refer to the corresponding regulation (IRC Reg. 1.112-1) when working on a combat pay issue under ACA 26-51- 306(a)(4).

(2) Internal Revenue Code sections 441 - 444, dealing with accounting periods, and sections 446 - 483, dealing with accounting methods, have not been officially adopted by the State of Arkansas. The corresponding Arkansas codes do require the taxpayer to file his/her Arkansas return using the same accounting period and the same accounting method as used for Federal purposes.

(3) Subsection "n" of IRC Sec. 162 has not been adopted by Arkansas.

(4) Requirements for filing a joint return under 219(c)(a)(A) of the Internal Revenue code of 1986 shall not apply.

(5) Provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue code addressing tax rates are not adopted.

(6) The capital gain provisions of ACA 26-51-815 do not apply to C corporations.

* Arkansas has not adopted the cited Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section as its own law. However, the language of Arkansas' statute is similar to that of the federal statute.

Notes:

(1) In those instances where Arkansas has adopted a section of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) as its own law, the regulations promulgated by the Treasury Department to aid in interpreting the IRC section should be used for guidance in applying the law. For example, at ACA 26-51-306(a)(4) Arkansas adopted IRC Sec. 112 as in effect on January 1, 1997 regarding tax treatment of combat pay. The tax practitioner would refer to the corresponding regulation (IRC Reg. 1.112-1) when working on a combat pay issue under ACA 26-51-306(a)(4).

(2) Internal Revenue Code sections 441 - 444, dealing with accounting periods, and sections 446 - 483, dealing with accounting methods, have not been officially adopted by the State of Arkansas. The corresponding Arkansas codes do require the taxpayer to file his/her Arkansas return using the same accounting period and the same accounting method as used for Federal purposes.

(3) Subsection "n" of IRC Sec. 162 has not been adopted by Arkansas.

(4) Requirements for filing a joint return under 219(c)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 shall not apply.

(5) Provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code addressing tax rates are not adopted.

* Arkansas has not adopted the cited Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section as its own law. However, the language of Arkansas' statute is similar to that of the federal statute.
