Capital Gains Exemption


Nebraska law provides for a one-time exemption from state income tax of gains realized from selling or exchanging stock of a corporation acquired by an employee who is a Nebraska resident during employment with that corporation.


Corporate Income Tax


Corporations doing business both within and outside Nebraska allocate their income in accordance with the provisions of the Uniform Division of Income for Tax Purposes Act. Beginning in 1988, a sales-only factor was phased in as the means to apportion income tax liability for unitary tax purposes. Corporations pay 5.58% on the first $100,000 and $5,580 + 7.81% of the excess over $100,000 based on federal taxable income attributable to Nebraska operations. *For tax year 2011.
