Section 214.05 Of Article 1. Taxable And Exempt Property From California Revenue And Taxation Code >> Division 1. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 1. >> Article 1.
214.05
. For purposes of Section 214:
(a) If the property of an organization is granted an exemption
pursuant to Section 214, that property is deemed to be used
exclusively for the organization's exempt purposes. However, to the
extent that income derived from the organization's use of the
property is unrelated business taxable income, as defined in Section
512 of the Internal Revenue Code, and the regulations implementing
that section, and is subject to the tax on unrelated business taxable
income which is imposed by Section 511 of the Internal Revenue Code,
the property shall be exempt from taxation under Section 214 only to
the extent provided in subdivision (b) or (c).
(b) (1) If the use of property which has qualified for the welfare
exemption under Section 214 involves activities of the organization,
some of which produce income that is exempt from income or franchise
taxation and some of which produce income that is taxable as
unrelated business taxable income, and those activities are
attributable to a reasonably ascertainable portion of the entire
property, that portion of the property shall be entitled only to a
partial exemption from property taxation equal to that proportion of
the total value of the portion of the property which the amount of
income of the organization that is exempt from income or franchise
taxation and that is attributable to that portion bears to the total
amount of income of the organization that is attributable to that
portion. The remaining proportion of the total value of that portion
of the property shall be subject to taxation pursuant to this
division.
(2) If the use of property which has qualified for the welfare
exemption under Section 214 involves activities of the organization,
some of which are exempt for property tax purposes and produce no
income and some of which produce income that is taxable as unrelated
business taxable income, or produce both income that is taxable as
unrelated business taxable income and income that is exempt from
income or franchise taxation and those activities are attributable to
a reasonably ascertainable portion of the entire property, that
portion of the property shall be entitled only to a partial exemption
equal to that proportion of the total value of the portion of the
property which the amount of time actually devoted to those exempt
nonincome-producing activities of the organization attributable to
that portion bears to the total amount of time actually devoted to
all of the activities of the organization attributable to that
portion. The remaining proportion of the total value of that portion
of the property shall be subject to taxation pursuant to this
division.
(3) If the activities described in paragraphs (1) and (2) cannot
be attributed to a reasonably ascertainable portion of the entire
property, the entire property shall be entitled only to a partial
exemption. In the case of activities of the organization described in
paragraph (1), the partial exemption shall be equal to that
proportion of the value of the entire property which the amount of
income of the organization that is exempt from income or franchise
taxation and that is attributable to the entire property bears to the
total amount of income of the organization that is attributable to
the entire property. In the case of activities of the organization
described in paragraph (2), the partial exemption shall be equal to
that proportion of the value of the entire property which the amount
of time actually devoted to exempt nonincome-producing activities of
the organization attributable to the entire property bears to the
total amount of time actually devoted to all of the activities of the
organization attributable to the entire property. In either case,
the remaining proportion of the total value of the entire property
shall be subject to taxation pursuant to this division.
(c) Notwithstanding subdivision (b), if more than 75 percent of
the income of an organization is attributable to property which has
qualified for the welfare exemption under Section 214, but is not
specifically related to the organization's use of particular
property, the property shall be entitled only to a partial exemption
equal to that proportion of the total value of the property which the
amount of the income of the organization attributable to activities
in this state and exempt from income or franchise taxation bears to
the amount of total income of the organization that is attributable
to activities in this state.
(d) Whenever property is claimed exempt under Section 214 and
activities of the organization on the property produce unrelated
business taxable income, as defined in Section 512 of the Internal
Revenue Code, the organization, as a part of its claim for exemption,
shall file with the assessor each of the following:
(1) The organization's information and tax returns filed with the
Internal Revenue Service for its immediately preceding fiscal year.
(2) Information indicating the amount of time devoted to its
income-producing and its nonincome-producing activities and, where
applicable, a description of that portion of the property in which
those activities are conducted.
(3) A statement listing the specific activities which produce the
unrelated business taxable income.
(4) Whenever subdivision (c) is applicable, the amount of income
of the organization that is attributable to activities in this state
and is exempt from income or franchise taxation and the amount of
total income of the organization that is attributable to activities
in this state.
(5) Any other information as prescribed by the board.
(e) Nothing in this section shall be construed to enlarge the
welfare exemption provided in Section 214.
