Sec. 1. (a) There is imposed on each taxpayer a franchise tax measured by the taxpayer's apportioned income for the privilege of exercising its franchise or the corporate privilege of transacting the business of a financial institution in Indiana. The amount of the tax for a taxable year shall be determined by multiplying the applicable rate under subsection (b) times the remainder of:
(1) the taxpayer's apportioned income; minus
(2) the taxpayer's deductible Indiana net operating losses as determined under this section; minus
(3) the taxpayer's net capital losses minus the taxpayer's net capital gains computed under the Internal Revenue Code for each taxable year or part of a taxable year beginning after December 31, 1989, multiplied by the apportionment percentage applicable to the taxpayer under this chapter for the taxable year of the loss.

(3) For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2014, and before January 1, 2016, seven and five-tenths percent (7.5%).
(4) For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2015, and before January 1, 2017, seven percent (7.0%).
(5) For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2016, and before January 1, 2019, six and five-tenths percent (6.5%).
(6) For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2018, and before January 1, 2020, six and twenty-five hundredths percent (6.25%).
(7) For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2019, and before January 1, 2021, six percent (6.0%).
(8) For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2020, and before January 1, 2022, five and five-tenths percent (5.5%).
(9) For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2021, and before January 1, 2023, five percent (5.0%).
(10) For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2022, four and nine-tenths percent (4.9%).
(c) The amount of net operating losses deductible under subsection (a) is an amount equal to the net operating losses computed under the Internal Revenue Code, adjusted for the items set forth in IC 6-5.5-1-2, that are:
(1) incurred in each taxable year, or part of a year, beginning after December 31, 1989; and
(2) attributable to Indiana.
(d) The following apply to determining the amount of net operating losses that may be deducted under subsection (a):
(1) The amount of net operating losses that is attributable to Indiana is the taxpayer's total net operating losses under the Internal Revenue Code for the taxable year of the loss, adjusted for the items set forth in IC 6-5.5-1-2, multiplied by the apportionment percentage applicable to the taxpayer under this chapter for the taxable year of the loss.
(2) A net operating loss for any taxable year is a net operating loss carryover to each of the fifteen (15) taxable years that follow the taxable year in which the loss occurred.
(e) The following provisions apply to a combined return computing the tax on the basis of the income of the unitary group when the return is filed for more than one (1) taxpayer member of the unitary group for any taxable year:
(1) Any net capital loss or net operating loss attributable to Indiana in the combined return shall be prorated between each taxpayer member of the unitary group by the quotient of:
(A) the receipts of that taxpayer member attributable to Indiana under section 4 of this chapter; divided by
(B) the receipts of all taxpayer members of the unitary group attributable to Indiana.
(2) The net capital loss or net operating loss for that year, if any, to be carried forward to any subsequent year shall be limited to the capital gains or apportioned income for the subsequent year of that taxpayer, determined by the same receipts formula set out in subdivision (1).
