G.S. 105-122(c)(1) - Clarification on Apportionment: This statute was amended to clarify that a corporation that is subject to the general business franchise tax but exempt from income tax under Article 4 of Chapter 105 must apportion its capital stock, surplus and undivided profits base by using the apportionment factor it would have used had it been subject to the income tax.
