Q&A with the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue
When does a complete or partial liquidation of a business still constitute non-business income under the Laurel Pipe Line, Ross-Araco and Canteen decisions?
Jun 30, 2011
Nonbusiness income is limited to that income that is not apportionable under the United States Constitution. If the income is apportionable to any other jurisdiction, it is apportionable business income for Pennsylvania purposes.
