HAR §18-241-4-03. Receipts factor
Cite as Haw. Code R. § 18-241-4-03
(a) The receipts factor is a fraction, the numerator of which is the
receipts of the taxpayer in this State during the taxable year and the denominator of which is the receipts of the
taxpayer within and without this State during the taxable year. The method of calculating receipts for purposes of
the denominator is the same as the method used in determining receipts for purposes of the numerator. The receipts
factor shall include only those receipts described herein which constitute business income and are included in the
computation of the apportionable income base for the taxable year.
(b)
The numerator of the receipts factor includes receipts from the lease or rental of real property owned
by the taxpayer if the property is located within this State or receipts from the sublease of real property if the property is
located within this State.
(c)
The following rules relate to receipts from the lease of tangible personal property.
(1)
Except as described in paragraph (2), the numerator of the receipts factor includes receipts
from the lease or rental of tangible personal property owned by the taxpayer if the property
is located within this State when it is first placed in service by the lessee.
(2)
Receipts from the lease or rental of transportation property owned by the taxpayer are
included in the numerator of the receipts factor to the extent that the property is used in
this State. The extent an aircraft will be deemed to be used in this State and the amount of
receipts that is to be included in the numerator of this State’s receipts factor is determined
by multiplying all the receipts from the lease or rental of the aircraft by 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. If the extent of the use
of any transportation property within this State cannot be determined, then the property
will be deemed to be used wholly in the state in which the property has its principal base
of operations. A motor vehicle will be deemed to be used wholly in the state in which it is
registered.
(d)
The following rules relate to interest from loans secured by real property.
(1)
The numerator of the receipts factor includes interest and fees or penalties in the nature
of interest from loans secured by real property if the property is located within this State.
