§ 11-25 Adjustments to Correct Distortions of Income or Capital.

RCNY § 11-25

(§ 11-605(5), Administrative Code.) (a) In case it shall appear to the Commissioner of Finance that any agreement, understanding or arrangement exists between the taxpayer and any other corporation or any person or firm, whereby the activity, business, income or capital of the taxpayer within the City is improperly or inaccurately reflected, the Commissioner of Finance is authorized in his discretion to adjust items of income, deductions and capital, and to eliminate assets in computing any allocation percentage provided any income directly traceable thereto is also excluded from entire net income, so as equitably to determine the tax.
