3 MINUTE PRESENTATION ~ CITY COUNCIL ON Wednesday, December 11, 2002
By Helen Miller, Citizen
Salutations: Madam President and Council members:
Presentation:
I will bring to your attention an Editorial comment published in last Sunday's Bremerton SUN.
It saluted Mayor Horton's brilliant idea of requesting the Navy to deed the EAST PARK
properties to the City. She and the City staff worked diligently to turn that idea into the reality of the
City today having the wonderful oppommity to develop that land.
Having knowledge of the many people within the City who worked on the East Park project
under Mayor Horton - history would demand that we were also appraised of the efforts of Mr. Bozeman
who, according to the SUN, deserved credit for the East park deal - (together with the Navy and Rep.
Dicks) when he "contacted the Navy about obtaining the site during his first week in office.". Wonder
what he said ????
SUN QUOTE:
"CREDIT FOR THE EAST PARK DEAL MUST BE GIVEN TO NAVY OFFICIALS, TO US
REP. NORM DICKS, AND CERTAINLY TO MAYOR BOZEMAN, WHO CONTACTED THE
NAVY ABOUT OBTAINING THE SITE DURING HIS FIRST WEEK IN OFFICE."
MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL:
As you prepare to vote on a very unpopular and controversial Ordinance which will institute
Parking Fees in front of private residences, in certain areas of the city ............
The public should know that while the CITY is prepared to thus tax homeowners, the CITY is
also planning to reward the most highly paid non elected officials in the City Govemment- Department
Heads - with an unearned approximate One Thousand Eight Hundred Dollars - each - per year.
It seem incongruous that a few short weeks ago the administration was recommending
CUTTING Police and Firemen in order to balance the budget - and now ~ seeking approval to
give those most highly paid officials some extra goodies. ~0;11 /0~

the Puget Sound region. To address this problem new uses for recycled glass cullet as construction
aggregate have been developed and the Washington State Department of Transportation (VVSDOT) has
approved specifications for glass culler to be used for a variety of construction aggregate applications.
The attached resolution authorized the Public Works and Utilities Department to preferentially use glass
cullet, processed from materials collected in Kitsap County which meets WSDOT specifications for
construction aggregate, as long as the glass cullet is used in appropriate construction application, readily
available and cost-competitive with natural aggregate materials. Staff recommends approval of the
attached Resolution.
There were no comments from the public.
Mr, Rollman asked if other recycled materials would be considered for use in the future. Mr. Sample¥
answered that this product will be used anywhere that there is an appropriate use and following
research, there may be a variety of applications available for uses of this material.
~ff)623 M/S/C/U (Nygren/Olsen) Move to adopt Resolution No. 2878 approving the preferential use of
glass cullet as set forth therein.

THIS AGREEMENT is entered into by and between the State of Washington Department
of Revenue (the "Department"), the above-reference Taxpayer ("Taxpayer"), and the City of
Bremerton.
RECITALS
Taxpayer is a sole proprietorship providing professional services as grounds
superintendent of a municipal golf complex, under contract ("Professional Services Agreement")
with the City of Bremerton, since 1996. He is an independent contractor. He employs a number
of grounds maintenance workers to perform the contract services. His contract price includes his
employee expenses and other operating expenses.
The Department has audited Taxpayer for the above period, and found he had unreported
gross income from landscape and horticultural services that was subject to Retailing B&O tax and
retail sales tax. The audit concluded Taxpayer was obligated to collect and remit retail sales tax and
pay retailing B&O tax on the full contract price. The Department has issued a tax assessment
against Taxpayer for the above period as follows (per post assessment adjus~tment issued August 6,
2002):

compromise of the amount assesSed. Their petition for correCtion is now pending befOre the
Department, s Appeals Division. The City of Bremerton joins in the petition because, under RCW
82.08.050, it is responsible for payment of any retail sales tax found due, and the Department may
proceed against the City for payment.
The Department, Taxpayer, and the City of Bremerton acknowledge that settlement is
appropriate under the criteria set out in WAC 458-20-100, and agree it is in their mutual interest to
compromise and settle all issues relating to the assessment. They acknowledge Taxpayer has been
Closing Agreement No.3772 2 Registration No. 600 617 865
reporting revenues under the Retailing classification, and collecting and remitting retail sales tax on
receipts under his contract with the City, beginning January 2002.
In consideration of the mutual promises set forth herein, and other good and valuable
consideration, the Department, Taxpayer, and the City of Bremerton agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. The City of Bremerton will pay to the Department, in full satisfaction of Taxpayer's
liability under the assessment, and in full satisfaction of liability the City may have for retail sales
tax on its payments under its professional services agreement with Taxpayer during the audit
period, the sum of $85,000, on or before December 31,, 2002
2. Taxpayer will continue reporting all gross receipts under his professiOnal services
agreement with the City of Bremerton, including amounts the current agreement labels as
"reimbursements" for employee and other expenses, in the Retailing B&O category and will pay the
appropriate tax.
3. Taxpayer will continue collecting and remitting retail sales tax on his gross receipts
under his professional services with the City of Bremerton, including on amounts the current
agreement labels as "reimbursements" for employee and other expenses.
4. Taxpayer acknowledges that his services as an independent contractor providing
greens and grounds maintenance and improvement services for the City of Bremerton are classified
as a retailing activity for excise tax purposes, and that under his present an/t any future contract to
provide those services, he must report and pay retailing B&O tax, and must report, collect, and
remit retail sales tax, on the full contract amount, as required by WAC 458-20-226.
Taxpayer further acknowledges that RCW 82.08.050 specifically requires that the retail
sales tax must be stated separately from the selling price on any contract or other instrument of sale,
and the law creates a conclusive presumption that, for purposes of collecting the tax and remitting it
to the state, the selling price quoted in the contract or other instrument of sale does not include the
retail sales tax.
5. Taxpayer acknowledges that paragraphs 2, 3, and 4 above constitute "specific
written instructions as to reporting or tax liabilities" within the meaning of RCW 82.32.090 and that
failure to follow said instructions may subject Taxpayer to the penalties set forth therein. The
above instructions are in effect until there is a change in law, either statutory or common law, or
rule change, or, after reviewing Taxpayer's records, the Department notifies Taxpayer that it is no
longer appropriate to report in this manner.

The signed closing agreement should accompany the payment.
Time is of the essence of this agreement and of every term and provision hereof. In the event the
City of Bremerton fails to make timely payment of any amount due hereunder, Taxpayer and the
City of Bremerton will lose the benefit of the reduced tax liability set forth in paragraph 1 above,
and the full amount of the assessment will be reinstated and become immediately due and
collectible, together with additional interest and penalties which may thereafter accrue.
7. Execution of this agreement by the Department, Taxpayer, and the City of
Bremerton operates as a dismissal, with prejudice, of their joint petition for correction of
assessment now pending before the Department's Appeals Division, as an unconditional waiver by
Taxpayer of any right to further challenge the assessment or the Department to pursue collection of
the assessment in any administrative or judicial proceeding, and as an unconditional waiver by the
Department to pursue collection of retail sales tax against the City of Bremert0n with respect to
payments, during the audit period, under the City's agreement with Taxpayer.

other than in the Superior Court of Thurston County, Washington.

hereof, embrace and include the entire transaction between the parties and may not be changed

court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this agreement, and/or the application of any term
or provision hereof to any other circumstance, tax liability, or tax immunity, will not be affected.

PROJECT UNDERST.4~NDING .~ND BACKGROU-Nq3
Task 3 - Site Seismicity Assessment
We understand that the intake tower seismic upgrade desi~ will be based on the follov, dng two
ground motion levels:
OBE - Operating Basis Earthquake, defined as ground motions with a t0 percent chance of
exceedance in 50 years (probabilistic ground motion).
lvlZ)E - Maximum Desi~ Earthquake, de£med as the max/mum credible earthquake that could
affect the site (deterministic ground motion).
We understand that the performance criteria for the tower for these events have not yet been
determined.
Prev/ous seismic analyses of the dam and intake tower considered sim/lar risk levels. In the 1994
study, time h/story analyses were conducted w/th gound motions scaled to peak ground
accelgrafions or 0.35g and 0.Sg, corresponding to OBE and MDE ground tacticTM, respectively.
The MDE ground motion was from rupture on the Seattle Fault. There is no indication that time
histories were modified (other than scaling to the peak ground acceleration) to match a design
rock spectrum. In the 1996 study, peak ground accelerations of 0.3g and 0.5g wee*used to
characterize the OBE and IvlDE, respectively. Rock spectra were also developed with th. ese peak
wound accelerations and were used in d)mamic, three-dimensional, 5_rfite element, response
spectrum analyses. It does not appear that a time-history analysis was conducte&
Since 1996, the results of regional pro¢abilistic ground motion studies have been'published and
significant findings have been made regarding the activity and location of various potentially
seismogenic structures in the Puget Sound region, including the Seattle Fault. The spectra for
both the ODE and IVfDE should be revised to be consistent with these newer studies and findings.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) published in 1996 the results of a regional probabilistic
ground motion study that incorporated the USGS's understanding of the seismogenic potential of
the area at that time. The results of that study were apparently not available to Dames & Moore
for their 1996 report on the intake tower. Since pubticat/on of the USGS study, Shannon &
Wilson has incorporated the results of additional research into our geologic/seismolo~cal models
for more recent ground motion studies for other projects in the area. The peak ground
acce]eration for the OBE used in the 1996 dam intake tower study is similar to the results of the
more recent, probabilistic ~ound motion studies. However, in our opinion, a more current OBE
spectrum can be obtained directly from the spectral ordinates from the USGS study.
In our opinion, the MDE spectrum should be revised based on the results of recently published
research on the Seattle Fault. Specifically, research by the USGS in 1999 has re-characterized the
Seattle Fault as an approximately 2 V2- to 4-m/lc-wide (north-south) zone of multiple faults or
splays (see Figure 1). As shown on Figure 1, the nearest mapped splay from this ~-~cudy is located
about 5 m/les north of the site. As a result, the fault is sigrfificantly closer to the site than
reflected in the MDE spectra provided in 1996. Furthermore, as shown on FigTM 1, the splay
farthest to the south is not mapped as continuing west to directly north of the site. This map is
based on marine seismic work (i.e., detection of faults beneath navigable water), and the fault
splays could continue to the west and closer to the site (e.g., to within about 2 V= m/les of the site).
SCOPE OF WORK
Task 3 - Site Seismicity Assessment
ODE and MI)E Spectra
Shannon & Wilson will develop free-field ~ound motion spectra for rock condif~ons for both the
ODE and the MDE. The ODE horizontal ~ound motion spectrum will be derived largely from
the published USGS re~onal probabilistic ~ound motion study. The MDE spectrum w/il be
developed for movement on the Seattle Fault. In developing the MDE spec=a, the possibility of
the southernmost splay extending an additional 6 m/les west to a distance of approximately 2 V:
m/Ie's north of the site will evaluated. We will discuss the results of this evaluation w/th Acres
and also, ifrequ/red, the City of Bremerton. Aher that discussion and their review, we Mil
prepare the final MDE spectra. We will also be. develop ve,~cal spectra-for bo~ the MDE and
ODE.
Earthquake Time Histories
Shannon & Wilson will develop free-field earthquake ground motion time h/stories for both the
ODE and M2DE. In our previous proP.0, sal of September 7, 2001, we had proposed to .develop six
time history sets; 'three sets for each design level. At your request, we have revised the number of
time histories. Our rev/seal scope of work will include development of three time-h/story sets;
one set for the ODE and two sets for the MDE. Each time history set will include two,
orthogonal horizontal motions and one vertical motion. Recorded earthquake time histories will
be selected to be as consistent as practical with earthquake magnitude, fault type and distance
characteristic of the ODE and !vI2DE and site conditions (i.e. rock conditions). These recorded
earthquake time histories will be modified to closely match the ODE and/vIDE spectra and will
be scaled to be consistent with earthquake time-history requirements provided in the 1997
Un/form Building Code (UBC). That is, the average of the square root of*he sum of the squares
of the spectra of the two horizontal components will be equal to or greater than 1.4 times
appropriate ODE or/vIDE spectra over the period range of interest for the intake tower.
Report
A letter report will be prepared that will include the spectra and a description of the methods and
assumptions in their development. Digital versions of the time history sets will be/ncluded with
the report, along with a description of the methods and assumptions in selection and development
of the time histories.

budget. Also, banking service fees are normally recovered through a compensating balance agreement
with Bank of America. Due to the Iow interest rates we have not been able to earn interest to offset the
fees we incur. This will result in a one time bill at year end of a~r~!$~,0~0.

Overexpenditures in Personnel Services were primarily due to hring a temporary to answer the phone, wait on the counter and perform general
clerical work in order to reduce the workload of HR staff members and act as a backup to the Legal Assistant in the Legal department. This
position was funded for the first quarter of 2002 by Legal until they hired a Legal Assistant. Secondary reasons included the implementation of
the Pay & Class study for exempt employees, particularly in complying with BMC 2.50 requirements. The reduction in services and supplies wa
primarily due to a decrease in expenditures in Professional Services relating to labor negotiations.

conduct or equipment of the licensee or his agents, employees or representatives, even if specific
regulations require standards of training, conduct or inspection.

Bremerton, WA 98337
Dear ~n:
Many of you have assisted AWC's efforts over the last few years to fight
back legislation that would have seriously impaired city tax and licensing
authority. Each year it has been increasingly difficult to defeat these billS.
We expect that city B&O taxes will be under significant attack again in
2003. There is a very real threat that these efforts will be successful
unless cities address perceived problems with our current business tax
structure by adopting the Model City B&O Tax Ordinance. Governor LoCke
has already commented in a speech to business interests that a city B&O
tax reform bill almost passed in 2002 and that he was confident a reform
bill was needed and would be approved in the 2003 session. We have
contacted the Governor's office and hope to meet with him on this issue
soon.
AWC and B&O tax cities worked together over the past several years to
develop the Model Ordinance to make city B&O taxes simpler and more
uniform, and to eliminate any possibility of multiple taxation. The group
also developed a "streamlined" version of the ordinance for smaller cities.
Many B&O tax cities have already begun the process of adopting the
Model Ordinance. Everett and Seattle already have adopted the Model
Ordinance, and Bellevue, Tacoma, and Bellingham plan to adopt it by the
end of the year or shortly thereafter. This means that the five jurisdictions
collecting more than 90% of municipal B&O taxes in this state will have it
on their books before the start of the 2003 Legislature. However, it is
essential that as many of the 37 B&O tax cities as possible enact the
ordinance prior to the start of the 2003 session in order to counter
ar.quments about statewide uniformity.
Attached are copies of the Model Ordinance, the streamlined version, and
the accompanying administrative rules. Once your city has adopted the
Model Ordinance, please inform AWC so that we can keep track of the
statewide progress on this important issue.

Mayor Cary Bozeman

November 15, 2002
Again, AWC' strongly urges your city to review and adopt the Model
Ordinance so that cities can protect their local authority over business
taxes and license fees. Please feel free to contact me, Jim Justin, or
Sheila Gall at (360) 753-4137 if you have any questions on this issue.
Sincerely,
Stan Finkelstein

B&O Tax Ordinance
December 5, 2002
AWC has strongly recommended that cities, large and small, adopt a minimum taxable gross
income threshold of $20,000 as part of the Model City B&O Tax Ordinance. This threshold
would exempt the first $20,000 of gross income from B&O taxes. Realizing that this may not be
revenue neutral for smaller cities whose tax base is made up of small businesses, AWC is
encouraging those cities, who do not adopt the threshold immediately as part of the new tax
code, study this issue and consider implementation of the threshold phased in over three to five
years. Since our proposed ordinance does not include the threshold, I recommend that, in the
near future, we study and consider AWC's recommendation of implementation of a minimum
taxable gross income threshold.

MODEL B&O TAX LEGISLATIVE INTENT
3.48.020 Exercise of revenue license power.
Legislative intent information.
This section implements Washington Constitution Article XI, Sec. 12 and RCW 35A.82.020 and
35A. 11.020 (code cities); 35.22.280(32) (first class cities); RCW 35.23.440(8) (second class
cities); 35.27.370(9) (fourth class cities and towns), which give municipalities the authority to
license for revenue. In the absence of a legal or constitutional prohibition, municipalities have the
power to define taxation categories as they see fit in order to respond to the unique concerns and
responsibilities of local government. See Enterprise Leasing v. Cit~ of Tacoma, 139 Wn.2d 546
(1999). It is intended that this model ordinance be uniform among the various municipalities
adopting it. Uniformity with provisions of State tax laws should not be presumed, and references
in this section to statutory or administrative rules changes do not mean state tax statutes or rules
promulgated by the Department of Revenue.
3.48.028 Administrative Provisions.
Legislative intent information.
Some of the definitions in this model ordinance are similar or identical to the definitions in the
State taxing statutes; some are not. It is intended that the similar or identical language be
understood and interpreted in accordance with published case law governing its meaning, if any,
existing at the time the ordinance is adopted. The municipalities do not intend to adopt or
incorporate administrative interpretations of similar language by the Department of Revenue,
whether now existing or later promulgated, unless specifically required by the RCW.
3.48.030 Definitions
"Software", "canned software," "custom software," "customization of canned software,"
"master copies," "retained rights."
Legislative intent information
A software program is intangible property that may be delivered to consumers via tangible or
intangible media. It is intended that the taxation of the development, production, and licensing of
software programs not be detern~ned by the method by which they are delivered, whether by
tangible media or electronically. The model ordinance classifies software development,
production, and licensing for tax purposes on the basis of whether the program was developed for

MODEL B&O TAX LEGISLATIVE INTENT
3.48.070 Multiple activities credit when activities take place in one or more cities with
eligible gross receipt taxes.
Legislative intent information.
This section provides a tax credit for taxpayers engaged in multiple taxable activities. The
section provides a credit against eligible selling or manufacturing taxes imposed by the City for
extracting or manufacturing taxes paid to the City or to any other local jurisdiction with respect to
the same products. The tax credit does not depend upon whether a person that sells in the City
extracts or manufactures in the City or in another jurisdiction to which it has paid an eligible
gross receipts tax. The tax credit does not depend on whether a person that manufactures in the
City extracts in the City or in another jurisdiction to which it has paid an eligible gross receipts
tax. The credit is available to any person that pays an eligible gross receipts tax on the applicable
activities, regardless of where it conducts business. The result of this section is that a city in
which selling takes place gives up the tax to the manufacturing jurisdiction and the manufacturing
jurisdiction gives up the tax to the extracting jurisdiction, whether those jurisdictions are inside or
outside the State of Washington.
3.48.075 Deductions to prevent multiple taxation of transactions involving more than one
city with an eligible gross receipts tax.
Legislative intent information.
This section establishes deductions to be applied when a single taxable activity is taxable by more
than one jurisdiction that imposes an eligible gross receipts tax. Under Washington State Law,
more than one city that has established nexus can include 100% of the gross receipts from that
transaction in its tax base. However to eliminate the possibility of the same sale or service being
taxed more than once by cities that maintain nexus and an eligible gross receipts tax, the cities
have provided this deduction to taxpayers.
Sales. A taxpayer that has paid an eligible gross receipts tax on the sale to the jurisdiction where
the product is delivered may deduct the gross receipts used to measure that tax from the measure
of the tax owed to another jurisdiction on the sale. If a taxpayer has not paid tax to the
jurisdiction where the product is delivered, then no deduction is allowed. The sale shall be taxed
by the city where the office or place of business that generated the sale is located.
Service. A taxpayer that has paid an eligible gross receipts tax on services to the jurisdiction
where the service is performed may deduct the gross receipts used to measure that tax from the
measure of the tax owed to another jurisdiction on that service. If a taxpayer has not paid tax to
the jurisdiction where the service is performed, then no deduction is allowed. The service income
shall be taxed by the city where the office or place of business that generated the sale is located.
For both sales and services, the order of taxing rights is delivery city, first; and business office
location, second.
General Business Activities Other Than Services. The eligible gross receipts tax on income
derived from intangibles such as royalties, licenses, trademarks, patents and goodwill, and
reportable under the general business classification BMC 3.48.050(1)(g), shall be assigned to the
headquarter's office or business location. A taxpayer that has paid an eligible gross receipts tax on
such activities to the jurisdiction where the taxpayer maintains a headquarters office, may deduct
the gross receipts used to measure that tax from the measure of the tax owed to other jurisdictions
on the same activity.
Business Conducted With Other Cities. A taxpayer that has paid an eligible gross receipts tax on
the privilege of accepting or executing a contract with a city may deduct the contract price used to
measure the tax from the measure of the tax owed to another city on the same activity.

sales at wholesale, as to such persons, the amount of tax with respect to such business shall be

3.48.070 Multiple Activities Credit When Activities Take Place In One Or More
Cities With Eligible Gross Receipt Taxes. This section provides a tax credit for taxpayers
engaged in multiple taxable activities. The section provides a credit against eligible selling or
manufacturing taxes imposed by the City for extracting or manufacturing taxes paid to the City
or to any other local jurisdiction with respect to the same products. The tax credit does not
depend upon whether a person that sells in the City extracts or manufactures in the City or in
another jurisdiction to which it has paid an eligible gross receipts tax. The tax credit does not
depend on whether a person that manufactures in the City extracts in the City or in another
jurisdiction to which it has paid an eligible gross receipts tax. The credit is available to any
person that pays an eligible gross receipts tax on the applicable activities, regardless of where it
conducts business. The result of this section is that a city in which selling takes place gives up
the tax to the manufacturing jurisdiction and the manufacturing jurisdiction gives up the tax to
the extracting jurisdiction, whether those jurisdictions are inside or outside the State of
Washington.
(1) Persons who engage in business activities that are within the purview of two (2) or more
subsections of BMC 3.48.050 shall be taxable under each applicable subsection.
(2) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if imposition of the City's tax would place
an undue burden upon interstate commerce or violate constitutional requirements, a taxpayer
shall be allowed a credit to the extent necessary to preserve the validity of the City's tax, and still
apply the City tax to as much of the taxpayer's activities as may be subject to the City's taxing
authority.
(3) To take the credit authorized by this section, a taxpayer must be able to document that the
amount of tax sought to be credited was paid upon the same gross receipts used in computing the
tax against which the credit is applied and that the taxpayer paid the amount of tax sought to be
credited.

City shall be allowed a credit against those taxes for any eligible gross receipts taxes paid (a)
with respect to the manufacturing of the products sold in the City, and (b) with respect to the
extracting of the products, or the ingredients used in the products, sold in the City. The amount
of the credit shall not exceed the tax liability arising under this chapter with respect to the sale of

manufacturing of those products.

Persons taxable under the retailing or wholesaling classification with respect to selling products
in this City shall be allowed a credit against those taxes for any eligible gross receipts taxes paid
with respect to the printing, or the printing and publishing, of the products sold within the City.
The amount of the credit shall not exceed the tax liability arising under this chapter with respect
to the sale of those products.
3.48.075 Deductions To Prevent Multiple Taxation Of Transactions Involving More Than
One City With An Eligible Gross Receipts Tax. This section establishes deductions to be
applied when a single taxable activity is taxable by more than one jurisdiction that imposes an
eligible gross receipts tax. To eliminate the possibility of the same sale or service being taxed
more than once by cities that maintain nexus and an eligible gross receipts~tax, the cities
deductions set forth in this section shall apply.
Sales. A taxpayer that has paid an eligible gross receipts tax on the sale to the jurisdiction where
the product is delivered may deduct the gross receipts used to measure that tax from the measure
of the tax owed to another jurisdiction on the sale. If a taxpayer has not paid tax to the
jurisdiction where the product is delivered, then no deduction is allowed. The sale shall be taxed
by the city where the office or place of business that generated the sale is located.
Service. A taxpayer that has paid an eligible gross receipts tax on services to the jurisdiction
where the service is performed may deduct the gross receipts used to measure that tax from the
measure of the tax owed to another jurisdiction on that service. If a taxpayer has not paid tax to
the jurisdiction where the service is performed, then no deduction is allowed. The service
income shall be taxed by the city where the office or place of business that generated the sale is
located. For both sales and services, the order of taxing rights is delivery city, first; and business
office location, second.
General Business Activities Other Than Services. The eligible gross receipts tax on income
derived from intangibles such as royalties, licenses, trademarks, patents and goodwill, and
reportable under the general business classification BMC 3.48.050(1)(g), shall be assigned to the
headquarter's office or business location. A taxpayer that has paid an eligible gross receipts tax
on such activities to the jurisdiction where the taxpayer maintains a headquarters office, may
18

deduct the gross receipts used to measure that tax from the measure of the tax owed to other
jurisdictions on the same activity.
Business Conducted With Other Cities. A taxpayer that has paid an eligible gross receipts tax on
the privilege of accepting or executing a contract with a city may deduct the contract price used
to measure the tax from the measure of the tax owed to another city on the same activity.
(1) Amounts subject to an eligible gross receipts tax in another city that also maintains nexus
over the same activity. A taxpayer that is subject to an eligible gross receipts tax on the same
activity in more than one jurisdiction may be entitled to a deduction as follows:
(a) A taxpayer that has paid an eligible gross receipts tax with respect to a sale of goods
or services to a jurisdiction in which the goods are delivered or the services are provided may
deduct an amount equal to the gross receipts used to measure that tax from the measure of the tax
owed to the City.
(b) Notwithstanding the above, a person that is subject to an eligible gross receipts tax in
more than one jurisdiction on the gross income derived from intangibles such as royalties,
trademarks, patents, or goodwill may deduct from the measure of the tax on those amounts the
gross income used in measuring the eligible gross receipts tax paid to the other jurisdiction
where the headquarters is located.
(c) A taxpayer that has paid an eligible gross receipts tax on the privilege of accepting or
executing a contract with another city may deduct an amount equal to the contract price used to
measure the tax due to the other city from the measure of the tax owed to the City.
(2) Person manufacturing products within and without. A person manufacturing products within
the City using products manufactured by the same person outside the City may deduct from the
measure of the manufacturing tax the value of products manufactured outside the City and
included in the measure of an eligible gross receipts tax paid with respect to manufacturing such
products.
