To be completed by businesses subject to corporate
net income tax that are approved for tax benefits
under the Keystone Opportunity Zone (KOZ),
Keystone Opportunity Expansion Zone (KOEZ),
Keystone Opportunity Improvement Zone (KOIZ) or
Strategic Development Area (SDA) program.
Important: This schedule is not to be used by
entities involved in the operation of a railroad,
truck, bus or airline company; pipeline or natural
gas company; or water transportation company.
Business taxpayers that qualify for KOZ, KOEZ,
KOIZ or SDA benefits MUST first complete the PA
Corporate Tax Report, RCT-101, without taking into
account any KOZ, KOEZ, KOIZ or SDA benefits to
which they might be entitled.
In order to calculate a tax credit to be applied against
the permitted taxes, special schedule RCT-101
KOZ/KOEZ must be completed and submitted as
part of form RCT-101.
A copy of the letter from the Department of
Community and Economic Development approving
the taxpayer for benefits from one of these programs
for the current tax year must be filed with the
RCT-101.
Taxpayers claiming benefits from any of these
programs must check the “KOZ/EIP/SDA” Box on
Page 1 of the RCT-101.
Important: Beginning Jan. 1, 2009, the calculation
of the KOZ/KOEZ/KOIZ credit no longer includes the
sales factor. The sales factor is still included in the
calculation of the SDA credit.
Failure to provide these documents will result in a
delay in the processing of the credit and may result
in an assessment for underpayment of tax reported
on the RCT-101.
Indicate the applicable program from which
KOZ/KOEZ/KOIZ or SDA benefits are claimed.
Property Apportionment Factor
Within Subzone, Expansion Subzone or SDA — The
average value of the taxpayer’s real and tangible
personal property owned and used in the subzone,
expansion subzone or SDA plus eight times the
rental rate for real and tangible personal property
rented and used in the subzone, expansion subzone
or SDA.
Within PA — The average value of taxpayer’s real
and tangible personal property owned and used
in PA plus eight times the rental rate for real and
tangible personal property rented and used in PA.
Payroll Apportionment Factor
Within Subzone, Expansion Subzone or SDA — Total
compensation paid in the subzone, expansion
subzone or SDA. Compensation is paid in the
subzone, expansion subzone or SDA if:
(A) The person's service is performed entirely
within the subzone, expansion subzone or SDA;
(B) The person's service is performed within and
outside the subzone, expansion subzone or SDA,
but the service performed outside the subzone,
expansion subzone or SDA is incidental to the
person's service within the subzone, expansion
subzone or SDA; or
(C) Some of the service is performed in the subzone,
expansion subzone or SDA and the base of
operations is in the subzone, expansion subzone
or SDA. If there is no base of operations,
compensation is paid in the subzone, expansion
subzone or SDA if the place from which the
service is directed or controlled is in the subzone,
expansion subzone or SDA. If the place from
which the service is directed or controlled is not
in a location in which the employee’s work is
performed, compensation is paid in the subzone,
expansion subzone or SDA if the employee’s
residence is within the subzone, expansion
subzone or SDA.
Within PA — All compensation paid in PA.
Taxpayers claiming the KOZ/KOEZ/KOIZ credit for
tax periods beginning after Dec. 31, 2008, should
stop here and go to the Calculation of the Credit.

Sales Apportionment Factor
To be completed by taxpayers approved for and
claiming the SDA Credit.
Within SDA — Total sales in the SDA during the tax
period.
Sales of tangible personal property are in the SDA
if the property is delivered or shipped to a purchaser
that takes possession within the SDA, regardless of
the FOB point or other conditions of the sale. Sales,
other than sales of tangible personal property, are
in the SDA if:
(A) The income-producing activity is performed
in the SDA; or
(B) The income-producing activity is performed
within and outside the SDA, and a greater
proportion of the income-producing activity
is performed in the SDA than in any other
location, based on costs of performance.
Within PA — All sales sourced to locations inside PA.
This includes all sales destined to locations inside
PA plus sales of goods picked-up by customers in
the SDA, either in their own vehicles or by common
carriers arranged for by the customers, and
transported to locations outside the commonwealth.
Since the sourcing of sales picked-up in the SDA
and transported outside the commonwealth is
different for the calculation of the credit than the
rules for sourcing these sales in the calculation of
the sales factor apportionment, this may not equal
the sales reported inside PA on RCT-106.
Calculation of the Credit Percentage —
KOZ/KOEZ/KOIZ
For each apportionment factor, divide the amount
within the subzone or expansion subzone by the
property and payroll within PA. The results of each
calculation are carried out six places to the right of
the decimal. Total the property and payroll factors
and divide by two. This is your Credit Percentage.
Calculation of the Credit Percentage — SDA
For each apportionment factor, divide the amount
within the SDA by the property, payroll and sales
within PA. The results of each calculation are
carried out six places to the right of the decimal.
Total the property, payroll and sales factors and
divide by three. This is your Credit Percentage.
IMPORTANT: The factors are not weighted.
Multiply the self-assessed tax from the RCT-101 by
the Credit Percentage. This is the credit amount.
Enter this amount in the “Restricted Credit” Box
for the CNI tax on Page 1 of RCT-101, Step D,
Column C. The total credit may not exceed the
tax liability for the period.
