(a) Filing of consolidated returns may be permitted or required in accordance with the Rules and Regulations prescribed by the Tax Administrator. A consolidated return may be filed by any affiliated group of corporations subject to the tax imposed by this chapter if that affiliated group filed for the same taxable year a consolidated return for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 1501 of the Internal Revenue Code. If an affiliated group of corporations subject to the tax imposed by this chapter is required to file a consolidated return or files a consolidated return in accordance with this section, the affiliated group of corporations must continue to file consolidated returns including that group of corporations and any other group of corporations included in the federal consolidated filing group for all subsequent taxable years that the group files a consolidated tax return for federal tax purposes unless, on or before the due date for filing the city income tax return for the taxable year, the affiliated group obtains written permission from the Tax Administrator to file separate returns for that year.
(b) In the case of a corporation that carried on transactions with its stockholders or with other corporations related by stock ownership, interlocking directorates or some other method, or in case any person operates a division, branch, factory, office, laboratory or activity within the City constituting a portion only of its total business, the Tax Administrator shall require such additional information as he or she may deem necessary to ascertain whether net profits are properly allocated to the City. If the Tax Administrator finds that net profits are not properly allocated to the City by reason of transactions with stockholders or with other corporations related by stock ownership, interlocking directorates or transactions with such division, branch, factory, office, laboratory or activity or by some other method, the Tax Administrator shall make such allocation to produce a fair and proper allocation of net profits to the City.
