 3         (1)  Intangible personal property shall have a taxable

 4  situs in this state when it is owned, managed, or controlled

 5  by any person domiciled in this state on January 1 of the tax

 6  year.  Such intangibles shall be subject to annual taxation

 7  under this chapter, unless the person who owns, manages, or

 9  specifically exempt. This provision shall apply regardless of

10  where the evidence of the intangible property is kept; where

11  the intangible is created, approved, or paid; or where

12  business may be conducted from which the intangible arises.

13  The fact that a Florida corporation owns the stock of an

14  out-of-state corporation and manages and controls such

15  corporation from a location in this state shall not operate to

16  give a taxable situs in this state to the intangibles owned by

17  the out-of-state corporation, which intangibles arise out of

18  business transacted outside this state.

19         (a)  For the purposes of this chapter, "any person

20  domiciled in this state" means:

21         1.  Any natural person who is a legal resident of this

22  state;

23         2.  Any bank or financial institution, business,

24  business trust as described in chapter 609, company,

 5  kept or where the intangible is created, approved, or paid.

 6         (b)  Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection:

 7         1.a.  Intangibles that are credit card or charge card

 8  receivables or related lines of credit or loans shall be

 9  deemed to have business situs in this state only when the debt

10  represented by such intangibles is owed by a customer who is

11  domiciled in this state.

12         b.  The performance of ministerial functions relating

13  to, or the processing of, credit card or charge card

14  receivables in this state for the owner of such receivables is

15  not sufficient to support a finding that the owner is

16  transacting business in this state.

17         c.  The term "credit card or charge card receivables"

18  does not include trade or service receivables as defined in s.

19  864 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

20         2.  An intangible owned by a real estate mortgage

21  investment conduit, a real estate investment trust, or a

22  regulated investment company, as those terms are defined in

23  the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,

24  shall not be deemed to have a taxable situs in this state

25  unless such entity has its legal or commercial domicile in

26  this state.

27         3.  The ownership of any interest in a participation or

28  syndication loan or pool of loans, notes, or receivables shall

29  not be sufficient to support a finding that the owner of such

30  interest is transacting business in this state.  For the

31  purposes of this subparagraph, a participation or syndication
