A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
 
AN ACT
  relating to the inclusion by taxable entities and combined groups
  that conduct certain oil and gas activities of certain costs in the
  cost of goods sold for purposes of the franchise tax.
         BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
         SECTION 1.  Section 171.1012, Tax Code, is amended by adding
  Subsection (k-2) to read as follows:
         (k-2)  This subsection applies only to a taxable entity that
  is primarily engaged in gathering, storing, transporting, or
  processing products described by Industry Group 132, 461, 492, or
  517 of the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification Manual published
  by the federal Office of Management and Budget, except for a
  refinery installation that manufactures finished petroleum
  products from crude oil.  Notwithstanding Subsection (e)(3) or (i)
  or any other provision of this section, a taxable entity to which
  this subsection applies may subtract as a cost of goods sold its
  depreciation costs, its operation and maintenance costs, and any
  other allowable cost under this section, subject also to the
  limitations of this section.  If a taxable entity to which this
  subsection applies is a member of a combined group that has elected
  under Section 171.1014(d) to subtract cost of goods sold, the
  combined group may elect to compute its costs of goods sold for
  purposes of Section 171.1014(e) including depreciation,
  operations, and maintenance costs of each qualifying entity as a
  cost of goods sold.
         SECTION 2.  This Act applies only to a report originally due
  on or after the effective date of this Act.
         SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect January 1, 2014.
