19571.5.
 (a) (1) Notwithstanding any other law, on or before April 1, 2021, and on or before each April 1 thereafter, the Franchise Tax Board shall compile a list of all taxpayers subject to tax under Part 11 (commencing with Section 23001), with gross receipts of five billion dollars ($5,000,000,000) or more, as measured by gross receipts, less returns and allowances, for the taxable year reported on a return in the previous calendar year. The list shall include the name and tax liability of each taxpayer, the taxable year for which the return is filed, the total gross receipts for that taxable year, and the amount and types of credits claimed for that taxable year.
(2) In the case of a taxpayer that is included in a combined report, the determination to include that taxpayer on a list shall be based on the gross receipts, less returns and allowances, of the combined reporting group.
