Pittman, Figures and Sanders RFD Finance and Taxation Education Rd 1 11-FEB-16 SYNOPSIS: Under
current law, each entity, subject to the Alabama corporate income tax, is required to file

tax planning options to shift income to other entities within the affiliated group located
in tax favorable states. Most large corporate businesses consist of a parent corporation and
a number of corporate subsidiaries. This bill would amend the corporate income tax law to
require the operations of all related entities, involved in a unitary business, file one corporate

1 23-FEB-16 SYNOPSIS: Under existing law, the State Ethics Commission may issue advisory opinions
