Income tax, corporate; returns of affiliated corporations, effective date.

Corporate income tax returns of affiliated corporations. Provides that, for taxable years 2020 through 2021, certain affiliated corporations may elect to switch to or from consolidated corporate income tax return filing status under certain conditions. The option would be available only to a group with at least one affiliate that is (i) a bank exempt from filing a Virginia corporate income tax return or (ii) an aerospace manufacturer.
