Amends GS 105-154(c), pertaining to information returns of partnerships. Requires the information return filed with the Secretary of Revenue to include each partner's distributive share of the partnership's income (previously, the part of each person's distributive share of the net income that represents corporation dividends).

Effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2017.

Amends GS 105-228.5(d)(3), setting forth an additional tax on property coverage contracts, to clarify that the additional tax imposed on property coverage contracts is a special purpose assessment based on gross premiums and not a gross premiums tax.

Provides the following clarifications: The gross premiums tax is a tax imposed on the gross premiums of insurers, Article 65 corporations, health maintenance organizations, and self‑insurers; entities subject to the gross premiums tax are not subject to franchise or income taxes; and in SL 2009‑548, the General Assembly broadened the taxes against which the business and energy tax credits could be taken from income and franchise taxes to income, franchise, and gross premiums taxes.

Further provides: The gross premiums tax rate is set in GS 105‑228.5(d)(1) and (2); separate and apart from the gross premiums taxes, GS 105‑228.5(d)(3) imposes an additional tax that is calculated using a person's gross premiums but is not considered part of the gross premiums tax imposition; the Department of Revenue has historically administered the gross premiums tax and the additional tax imposed under GS 105‑228.5 as two separate and distinct taxes; satisfied with this administration, the General Assembly did not address the separate treatment of the two taxes in SL 2009‑548; and it is the intent of this provision to further clarify for taxpayers the accuracy of and to endorse the Department's interpretation of the current and continuing state of the law by expressly codifying the long‑standing interpretation of the additional tax imposed by GS 105‑228.5(d)(3) as a separate and distinct tax that is based upon gross premiums but is not a gross premiums tax.

A person may substantiate that a contract is a real property contract by records that establish the transaction is a real property contract or by receipt of an affidavit of capital improvement. The receipt of an affidavit of capital improvement from another person accepted in good faith establishes that the subcontractor or other person receiving the affidavit should treat the transaction as a capital improvement, and the transaction is subject to tax in accordance with subsection (a) of this section. A person that issues an affidavit of capital improvement is liable for any tax on the transaction if it is determined that the transaction is not a capital improvement.

Amends subsection (d), pertaining to taxation of mixed transaction contracts.
