(a) Filing of consolidated returns may be permitted or required in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by the Administrator.
(b) In the case of a corporation that carries on transactions with its stockholders or with other corporations related by stock ownership, interlocking directorates or some other method, or in the case of a person who operates a division, branch, factory, office, laboratory or activity in the city constituting only a portion of its total business, the Administrator shall require such additional information as he or she may deem necessary to ascertain whether or not net profits are properly allocated to the city. If the Administrator finds that such 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, he or she shall make such allocation as he or she deems appropriate to produce a fair and proper allocation of net profits to the city.
