Kan. Admin. Regs. § 110-6-10 - Certification of a worksite

Each applicant shall meet the following requirements:

(a)

(1) The NAICS designation assigned to the worksite shall be under an appropriate NAICS designation, as specified in K.S.A. 74-50,131 and amendments thereto;

(2) the worksite, regardless of its NAICS designation, shall be determined by the secretary to be a headquarters or back-office operation of a national firm or multinational firm pursuant to this article; or

(3) the worksite, regardless of its NAICS designation, had been certified as a headquarters or back-office operation of a national firm or multinational firm by the secretary before the effective date of this regulation. The worksite shall retain its certification as a headquarters or back-office operation of a national firm or multinational firm unless the worksite would no longer qualify using the criteria in effect for the original worksite certification.

(b) Before any formal commitment to invest, the applicant shall demonstrate knowledge of the HPIP program by submitting a certificate of intent to invest, on the PD form prescribed by the secretary. The worksite information provided on the PD form shall include the following:

(1) Estimated investment amounts;

(2) a projected starting date;

(3) information regarding current and anticipated net new job creation and retention with associated payroll levels;

(4) revenue and sales projections; and

(5) any other relevant information if requested by the secretary.

(c) Certification of a worksite for the sole purpose of utilizing an HPIP tax credit that has been carried forward shall not require the submission of an additional project description form and may be applied for with a sworn statement using a form prescribed by the department.

(d) If the main activity at a worksite is not related to the headquarters or back-office operation but all other program requirements are satisfied, the applicant may seek certification only for that portion of the worksite's area that houses the headquarters or back-office operation of that worksite if the company's accounting system has the capability to allow a segment of the worksite to independently track the various elements that support satisfaction of HPIP requirements.

HPIP benefits shall be calculated by determining the portion of a qualified business facility investment used solely for that portion of the worksite housing the headquarters or back-office operation.

(e) After meeting all HPIP requirements, the worksite shall be certified by the secretary to the department of revenue. Before a worksite may be certified, all records used to support HPIP certification shall be subject to verification by the department.
