capital stock divided into shares. Charities, insurance
companies and financial institutions are exempt.

commissioner determines taxable values while the state
treasurer collects the taxes. Three mills of receipts go to
the General Revenue Fund, and five mills of receipts are
distributed to the county undivided local government fund of
the county where the firm's capital is used. Each counties'
budget commission distributes revenue among their local
subdivisions.
