G.S. 105-120.2(c) – Clarifying Change; Definition of Holding Company: A holding
company is a corporation that receives during its taxable year more than 80% of its
gross income from corporations in which it owns directly or indirectly more than 50% of
the outstanding voting stock or voting capital interests. In performing the holding
company test, if the holding company receives no income during the year, the
denominator of the ratio is zero, which is mathematically undefined. Therefore, the
corporation technically does not meet the 80% test. To provide a remedy for this
scenario, the subsection was amended to add a second condition under which a
corporation may qualify as a holding company. A corporation will also qualify for
holding company status if it has no assets other than ownership interests in
corporations in which it owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the outstanding
stock or voting capital interests.
(Effective June 26, 2012, SB 826, s. 2.3, S.L. 12-79.)
G.S. 105-122(b1) – Conforming Change; Definitions: This subsection was amended

terms “affiliate”, “parent” and “subsidiary”, previously codified under G.S. 105-130.6,
which was repealed by S.L. 11-390, were re-codified under G.S. 105-130.2.
(Effective June 26, 2012, SB 826, s. 1.14.(a), S.L. 12-79.)
