4information, for tax purposes, with other governments on taxpayers benefiting from
5the tax regime.
AB1-SA1,23,106
2. The details of the legislative, legal, or administrative provisions of the
7jurisdiction's tax regime are not publicly available and apparent or are not
8consistently applied to similarly situated taxpayers or the information needed by tax
9authorities to determine a taxpayer's correct tax liability, including accounting

(i) "Taxpayer member" means a corporation that is subject to tax under s. 71.23
22(1) or (2) and that is a member of a combined group.
AB1-SA1,24,1923
(j) "Unitary business" means a single economic enterprise that consists of
24separate parts of a single business entity or of a commonly controlled group of
25business entities that are sufficiently interdependent, integrated, and interrelated
1by their activities so as to provide a synergy and a mutual benefit that produces a
2sharing or exchange of value among them and a significant flow of value to the
3separate parts. For purposes of this section, 2 or more business entities are
4considered a unitary business if the entities have unity of ownership, operation, and
5use, as indicated by centralized management or a centralized executive force;
6centralized purchasing, advertising, or accounting; intercorporate sales or leases;
7intercorporate services; intercorporate debts; intercorporate use of proprietary
8materials; interlocking directorates; or interlocking corporate officers. Any business
9conducted by a pass-through entity that is owned directly or indirectly by a
10corporation is considered conducted by the corporation, to the extent of the
11corporation's distributive share of the pass-through entity's income, regardless of
12the percentage of the corporation's ownership interest. A business conducted
13directly or indirectly by one corporation is unitary with that portion of a business
14conducted by another corporation through its direct or indirect interest in a
15pass-through entity, if the corporations are sufficiently interdependent, integrated,
16and interrelated by their activities so as to provide a synergy and a mutual benefit
17that produces a sharing or exchange of value among them and a significant flow of
18value to the separate parts and the two corporations are members of the same
19commonly controlled group.
