43-16-148. Corporations organized as subsidiaries of agricultural cooperative associations exempt from privilege taxes.

All corporations organized as subsidiaries and controlled by any agricultural cooperative association formed in accordance with the laws of this state shall not be considered corporations organized for profit and doing business in Tennessee, or subject to any privilege tax levied by any law as a tax for the privilege of doing business for profit in Tennessee, it being the legislative intent to exempt by this section all such subsidiary corporations controlled by agricultural cooperative associations, where any and all profits earned by such subsidiary corporations are paid over to or expended for the benefit of the agricultural cooperative associations, with the result that the activities carried on by the corporations eventually promote and benefit the agricultural interests of this state.
