  4.12     Subd. 2c.  [SCHEDULES OF RATES FOR INDIVIDUALS, ESTATES,

  4.16  computed by applying to their taxable net income the following 
  4.17  schedule of rates: 
  4.18     (1) On the first ~~$25,220~~ $25,680, ~~5.5~~ 5 percent; 
  4.19     (2) On all over ~~$25,220~~ $25,680, but not over 
  4.20  ~~$100,200~~ $102,030, ~~7.25~~ 6.5 percent; 
  4.21     (3) On all over ~~$100,200~~ $102,030, ~~8~~ 7.5 percent. 
  4.22     Married individuals filing separate returns, estates, and 
  4.23  trusts must compute their income tax by applying the above rates 
  4.24  to their taxable income, except that the income brackets will be 
  4.25  one-half of the above amounts.  
  4.26     (b) The income taxes imposed by this chapter upon unmarried 
  4.27  individuals must be computed by applying to taxable net income 
  4.28  the following schedule of rates: 
  4.29     (1) On the first ~~$17,250~~ $17,570, ~~5.5~~ 5 percent;

  5.1      (1) On the first ~~$21,240~~ $21,630, ~~5.5~~ 5 percent;

  5.4      (3) On all over ~~$85,350~~ $86,910, ~~8~~ 7.5 percent. 
  5.5      (d) In lieu of a tax computed according to the rates set 
  5.6   forth in this subdivision, the tax of any individual taxpayer 
  5.7   whose taxable net income for the taxable year is less than an 
  5.8   amount determined by the commissioner must be computed in 
  5.9   accordance with tables prepared and issued by the commissioner 
  5.10  of revenue based on income brackets of not more than $100.  The 
  5.11  amount of tax for each bracket shall be computed at the rates 
  5.12  set forth in this subdivision, provided that the commissioner 
  5.13  may disregard a fractional part of a dollar unless it amounts to

  5.15     (e) An individual who is not a Minnesota resident for the 
  5.16  entire year must compute the individual's Minnesota income tax 
  5.17  as provided in this subdivision.  After the application of the

  5.19  liability must then be multiplied by a fraction in which:  
  5.20     (1) the numerator is the individual's Minnesota source 
  5.21  federal adjusted gross income as defined in section 62 of the 
  5.22  Internal Revenue Code and increased by the additions required 
  5.23  under section 290.01, subdivision 19a, clauses (1) and (6), 
  5.24  after applying the allocation and assignability provisions of 
  5.25  section 290.081, clause (a), or 290.17; and 
  5.26     (2) the denominator is the individual's federal adjusted 
  5.27  gross income as defined in section 62 of the Internal Revenue 
  5.28  Code of 1986, increased by the amounts specified in section 
  5.29  290.01, subdivision 19a, clauses (1) and (6), and reduced by the 
  5.30  amounts specified in section 290.01, subdivision 19b, clause (1).
  5.31     Sec. 3.  Minnesota Statutes 1999 Supplement, section 
  5.32  290.06, subdivision 2d, is amended to read: 
  5.33     Subd. 2d.  [INFLATION ADJUSTMENT OF BRACKETS.] (a) For 
  5.34  taxable years beginning after December 31, ~~1999~~ 2000, the 
  5.35  minimum and maximum dollar amounts for each rate bracket for 
  5.36  which a tax is imposed in subdivision 2c shall be adjusted for 
  6.1   inflation by the percentage determined under paragraph (b).  For 
  6.2   the purpose of making the adjustment as provided in this 
  6.3   subdivision all of the rate brackets provided in subdivision 2c 
  6.4   shall be the rate brackets as they existed for taxable years 
  6.5   beginning after December 31, ~~1998~~ 1999, and before January 
  6.6   1, ~~2000~~ 2001.  The rate applicable to any rate bracket must not 
  6.7   be changed.  The dollar amounts setting forth the tax shall be 
  6.8   adjusted to reflect the changes in the rate brackets.  The rate 
  6.9   brackets as adjusted must be rounded to the nearest $10 amount.  
  6.10  If the rate bracket ends in $5, it must be rounded up to the 
  6.11  nearest $10 amount.  
  6.12     (b) The commissioner shall adjust the rate brackets and by 
  6.13  the percentage determined pursuant to the provisions of section 
  6.14  1(f) of the Internal Revenue Code, except that in section 
  6.15  1(f)(3)(B) the word "1998" shall be substituted for the word 
  6.16  "1992."  For ~~2000~~ 2001, the commissioner shall then determine 
  6.17  the percent change from the 12 months ending on August 31, ~~1998~~ 
  6.18  1999, to the 12 months ending on August 31, ~~1999~~ 2000, and in 
  6.19  each subsequent year, from the 12 months ending on August 
  6.20  31, ~~1998~~ 1999, to the 12 months ending on August 31 of the year 
  6.21  preceding the taxable year.  The determination of the 
  6.22  commissioner pursuant to this subdivision shall not be 
  6.23  considered a "rule" and shall not be subject to the 
  6.24  Administrative Procedure Act contained in chapter 14.  
  6.25     No later than December 15 of each year, the commissioner 
  6.26  shall announce the specific percentage that will be used to 
  6.27  adjust the tax rate brackets.

 12.25     (1) the regular tax, over 
 12.26     (2) the greater of (i) the tentative alternative minimum 
 12.27  tax, or (ii) zero. 
 12.28     (b) The adjusted net minimum tax for a taxable year equals

 12.30     (1) the tentative minimum tax, over 
 12.31     (2) ~~6.5~~ 5.9 percent of the sum of 
 12.32     (i) adjusted gross income as defined in section 62 of the 
 12.33  Internal Revenue Code, 
 12.34     (ii) interest income as defined in section 290.01, 
 12.35  subdivision 19a, clause (1), 
 12.36     (iii) interest on specified private activity bonds, as 
 13.1   defined in section 57(a)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code, to the 
 13.2   extent not included under clause (ii), 
 13.3      (iv) depletion as defined in section 57(a)(1), determined 
 13.4   without regard to the last sentence of paragraph (1), of the 
 13.5   Internal Revenue Code, less 
 13.6      (v) the deductions allowed in computing alternative minimum 
 13.7   taxable income provided in subdivision 2, paragraph (a), clause 
 13.8   (2) of the first series of clauses and clauses (1), (2), and (3) 
 13.9   of the second series of clauses, and 
 13.10     (vi) the exemption amount determined under subdivision 3. 
 13.11     In the case of an individual who is not a Minnesota 
 13.12  resident for the entire year, adjusted net minimum tax must be 
 13.13  multiplied by the fraction defined in section 290.06, 
 13.14  subdivision 2c, paragraph (e).  In the case of a trust or 
 13.15  estate, adjusted net minimum tax must be multiplied by the 
 13.16  fraction defined under subdivision 4, paragraph (b). 
 13.17     Sec. 9.  Minnesota Statutes 1999 Supplement, section 
 13.18  290.191, subdivision 2, is amended to read:

 13.21  different formula under subdivision 3 or section 290.35 or 
 13.22  290.36, and for those trades or businesses that receive 
 13.23  permission to use some other method under section 290.20 or 
 13.24  under subdivision 4, a trade or business required to apportion 
 13.25  its net income must apportion its income to this state on the 
 13.26  basis of the percentage obtained by taking the sum of:

 13.35  taxpayer in connection with the trade or business during the tax 
 13.36  period; and 
 14.1      (3) ~~12.5~~ 7.5 percent of the percentage which the taxpayer's

 14.14  percentage obtained by taking the sum of:  
 14.15     (1) ~~75~~ 85 percent of the percentage which the receipts from 
 14.16  within this state in connection with the trade or business 
 14.17  during the tax period are of the total receipts in connection 
 14.18  with the trade or business during the tax period, from wherever 
 14.19  derived; 
 14.20     (2) ~~12.5~~ 7.5 percent of the percentage which the sum of the 
 14.21  total tangible property used by the taxpayer in this state and 
 14.22  the intangible property owned by the taxpayer and attributed to 
 14.23  this state in connection with the trade or business during the 
 14.24  tax period is of the sum of the total tangible property, 
 14.25  wherever located, used by the taxpayer and the intangible 
 14.26  property owned by the taxpayer and attributed to all states in 
 14.27  connection with the trade or business during the tax period; and

 14.29  total payrolls paid or incurred in this state or paid in respect 
 14.30  to labor performed in this state in connection with the trade or

 14.32  payrolls paid or incurred in connection with the trade or 
 14.33  business during the tax period.
