(a) In general
In the case of a sale of export property to a
DISC by a person described in section 482, the
taxable income of such DISC and such person
shall be based upon a transfer price which would
allow such DISC to derive taxable income at-
tributable to such sale (regardless of the sales
price actually charged) in an amount which does
not exceed the greatest of—
(1) 4 percent of the qualified export receipts
on the sale of such property by the DISC plus
10 percent of the export promotion expenses of
such DISC attributable to such receipts,
(2) 50 percent of the combined taxable in-
come of such DISC and such person which is
attributable to the qualified export receipts on
such property derived as the result of a sale by
the DISC plus 10 percent of the export pro-
motion expenses of such DISC attributable to
such receipts, or
(3) taxable income based upon the sale price
actually charged (but subject to the rules pro-
vided in section 482).
(b) Rules for commissions, rentals, and marginal
costing
The Secretary shall prescribe regulations set-
ting forth—
(1) rules which are consistent with the rules
set forth in subsection (a) for the application
of this section in the case of commissions,
rentals, and other income, and
(2) rules for the allocation of expenditures in
computing combined taxable income under
subsection (a)(2) in those cases where a DISC
is seeking to establish or maintain a market
for export property.
(c) Export promotion expenses
For purposes of this section, the term ‘‘export
promotion expenses’’ means those expenses in-
curred to advance the distribution or sale of ex-
port property for use, consumption, or distribu-
tion outside of the United States, but does not
include income taxes. Such expenses shall also
include freight expenses to the extent of 50 per-
cent of the cost of shipping export property
aboard airplanes owned and operated by United
States persons or ships documented under the
laws of the United States in those cases where
law or regulations does not require that such
property be shipped aboard such airplanes or
ships.
