Check here if continued on attached page
Note: This request may be made only by combined taxpayer groups. If this request is granted, the member requesting
to file separately may not elect to consolidate with other members of the same or a different taxpayer group. The tax
commissioner may revoke special filing approval at any time.
Effective date of separate filing (if different from the succeeding tax period) ___________________________________
Note: Special approval by the tax commissioner is required for the separate filing to begin with the current tax period.
Please attach a letter documenting reasons for this request.
Primary taxpayer and member agree to the following: The separately filing member may not claim any of the group’s
$250,000 quarterly exclusion. The member will file as a separate taxpayer and will be subject to the applicable tax rate on
all of the member’s taxable gross receipts without any quarterly exclusion. The separately filing member is financially
sound and currently able to pay the commercial activity tax. All members, including the separately filing member, remain
jointly and severally liable for the combined group’s tax liability.
I hereby declare the above to be true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.
