AI Summary

This bill clarifies the calculation of the corporate excise tax net worth of certain business corporations. Specifically, it establishes that the taxpayer's treatment of an item on their books as reflecting debt or equity shall be controlling, unless the commissioner determines that such treatment is not in accordance with the accounting standards used by the taxpayer. It also allows the commissioner to disallow any reserve established with respect to an asset that is not reasonable and proper. Additionally, the bill exempts from the corporate excise tax certain items of income of corporations organized outside the United States that are exempt from U.S. federal income tax.
