        which does not have a mirror code tax system amounts estimated 
        by the Secretary of the Treasury as being equal to the

        residents of such possession by reason of the amendments made 
        by this section if a mirror code tax system had been in effect 
        in such possession. The preceding sentence shall not apply 
        unless the respective possession has a plan, which has been 
        approved by the Secretary of the Treasury, under which such 
        possession will promptly distribute such payments to its 
        residents.
            (3) Inclusion of administrative expenses.--The Secretary of 
        the Treasury shall pay to each possession of the United States

                        in paragraph (2), by reason of carrying out the 
                        plan described in such paragraph, or

        subsection, the term ``mirror code tax system'' means, with 
        respect to any possession of the United States, the income tax 
        system of such possession if the income tax liability of the 
        residents of such possession under such system is determined by 
        reference to the income tax laws of the United States as if 
        such possession were the United States.

is amended to read as follows:
    ``(b) Amount of Tax.--
            ``(1) In general.--The amount of the tax imposed by 
        subsection (a) shall be the sum of--
                    ``(A) 18 percent of so much of the taxable income 
                as does not exceed $400,000,
                    ``(B) 21 percent of so much of the taxable income 
                as exceeds $400,000 but does not exceed $5,000,000, and
                    ``(C) 26.5 percent of so much of the taxable income 
                as exceeds $5,000,000.
        In the case of a corporation which has taxable income in excess 
        of $10,000,000 for any taxable year, the amount of tax 
        determined under the preceding sentence for such taxable year 
        shall be increased by the lesser of (i) 3 percent of such 
        excess, or (ii) $287,000.
            ``(2) Certain personal service corporation not eligible for 
        graduated rates.--Notwithstanding paragraph (1), the amount of

        448(d)(2)) shall be equal to 26.5 percent of the taxable 
        income.''.
    (b) Conforming Amendments.--
            (1) Section 1561 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is 
        amended to read as follows:

``SEC. 1561. LIMITATION ON CERTAIN MULTIPLE TAX BENEFITS IN THE CASE OF 
              CERTAIN CONTROLLED CORPORATIONS.

    ``(a) In General.--The component members of a controlled group of 
corporations on a December 31 shall, for their taxable years which 
include such December 31, be limited for purposes of this subtitle to--
            ``(1) amounts in each taxable income bracket in the 
        subparagraphs of section 11(b)(1) which do not aggregate more 
        than the maximum amount in each such bracket to which a 
        corporation which is not a component member of a controlled 
        group is entitled, and
            ``(2) one $250,000 ($150,000 if any component member is a 
        corporation described in section 535(c)(2)(B)) amount for 
        purposes of computing the accumulated earnings credit under 
        section 535(c)(2) and (3).
The amounts specified in paragraph (1) shall be divided equally among 
the component members of such group on such December 31 unless all of 
such component members consent (at such time and in such manner as the 
Secretary shall by regulations prescribe) to an apportionment plan 
providing for an unequal allocation of such amounts. The amounts 
specified in paragraph (2) shall be divided equally among the component 
members of such group on such December 31 unless the Secretary 
prescribes regulations permitting an unequal allocation of such 
amounts. Notwithstanding paragraph (1), in applying the last sentence 
of section 11(b)(1) to such component members, the taxable income of 
all such component members shall be taken into account and any increase 
in tax under such last sentence shall be divided among such component 
members in the same manner as amounts under paragraph (1).
    ``(b) Certain Short Taxable Years.--If a corporation has a short 
taxable year which does not include a December 31 and is a component 
member of a controlled group of corporations with respect to such 
taxable year, then for purposes of this subtitle--
            ``(1) the amount in each taxable income bracket in the tax 
        table in section 11(b) of such corporation for such taxable 
        year, and
            ``(2) the amount to be used in computing the accumulated 
        earnings credit under section 535(c)(2) and (3) of such 
        corporation for such taxable year,
shall be the amount specified in subsection (a)(1) or (2), as the case 
may be, divided by the number of corporations which are component 
members of such group on the last day of such taxable year. For 
purposes of the preceding sentence, section 1563(b) shall be applied as 
if such last day were substituted for `December 31'.''.
            (2) The table of sections for part II of subchapter B of 
        chapter 6 of such Code is amended by striking the item relating 
        to section 1561 and inserting the following:

``Sec. 1561. Limitation on certain multiple tax benefits in the case of 
                            certain controlled corporations.''.
    (c) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this section shall 
apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2021.
    (d) Normalization Requirements.--
            (1) In general.--A normalization method of accounting shall 
        not be treated as being used with respect to any public utility 
        property for purposes of section 167 or 168 of the Internal 
        Revenue Code of 1986 if the taxpayer, in computing its cost of 
        service for ratemaking purposes and reflecting operating 
        results in its regulated books of account, reduces the tax 
        reserve deficit less rapidly or to a lesser extent than such 
        reserve would be reduced under the average rate assumption 
        method.
            (2) Alternative method for certain taxpayers.--If, as of 
        the first day of the taxable year that includes the date of 
        enactment of this Act--
                    (A) the taxpayer was required by a regulatory 
                agency to compute depreciation for public utility 
                property on the basis of an average life or composite 
                rate method, and
                    (B) the taxpayer's books and underlying records did 
                not contain the vintage account data necessary to apply 
                the average rate assumption method,
        the taxpayer will be treated as using a normalization method of 
        accounting if, with respect to such jurisdiction, the taxpayer 
        uses the alternative method for public utility property that is 
        subject to the regulatory authority of that jurisdiction.
            (3) Definitions.--For purposes of this subsection--
                    (A) Tax reserve deficit.--The term ``tax reserve 
                deficit'' means the excess of--
                            (i) the amount which would be the balance 
                        in the reserve for deferred taxes (as described 
                        in section 168(i)(9)(A)(ii) of the Internal 
                        Revenue Code of 1986, or section 
                        167(l)(3)(G)(ii) or 168(3)(3)(B)(ii) of such 
                        Code as in effect on the day before the date of 
                        the enactment of the Tax Reform Act of 1986) if 
                        the amount of such reserve were determined by 
                        assuming that the corporate rate increases 
                        provided in the amendments made by this section 
                        were in effect for all prior periods, over
                            (ii) the balance in such reserve as of the 
                        day before such corporate rate increases take 
                        effect.
                    (B) Average rate assumption method.--The average 
                rate assumption method is the method under which the 
                tax reserve deficit is reduced over the remaining lives 
                of the property as used in its regulated books of 
                account which gave rise to the reserve for deferred 
                taxes. Under such method, if timing differences for the 
                property reverse, the amount of the adjustment to the 
                reserve for the deferred taxes is calculated by 
                multiplying--
                            (i) the ratio of the aggregate deferred 
                        taxes for the property to the aggregate timing 
                        differences for the property as of the 
                        beginning of the period in question, by
                            (ii) the amount of the timing differences 
                        which reverse during such period.
                    (C) Alternative method.--The ``alternative method'' 
                is the method in which the taxpayer--
                            (i) computes the tax reserve deficit on all 
                        public utility property included in the plant 
                        account on the basis of the weighted average 
                        life or composite rate used to compute 
                        depreciation for regulatory purposes, and
                            (ii) reduces the tax reserve deficit 
                        ratably over the remaining regulatory life of 
                        the property.
            (4) Treatment of normalization violation.--If, for any 
        taxable year ending after the date of the enactment of this 
        Act, the taxpayer does not use a normalization method of 
        accounting for the corporate rate increases provided in the 
        amendments made by this section , such taxpayer shall not be 
        treated as using a normalization method of accounting for 
        purposes of subsections (f)(2) and (i)(9)(C) of section 168 of 
        the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
            (5) Regulations.--The Secretary of the Treasury, or the 
        Secretary's designee, shall issue such regulations or other 
        guidance as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the 
        purposes of this subsection, including regulations or other 
        guidance to provide appropriate coordination between this 
        subsection, section 13001(d) of Public Law 115-97, and section 
        203(e) of the Tax Reform Act of 1986.
