Notes of Decisions

Department of Revenue is required to adopt rules for default method of reporting resulting in fair and accurate reflection of net income in advance of taxpayer filing return. U.S. Bancorp and Subsidiaries v. Dept. of Revenue, 19 OTR 266 (2007)
Department of Revenue may not undertake application of alternative method of apportioning income on department’s own motion. U.S. Bancorp and Subsidiaries v. Dept. of Revenue, 19 OTR 266 (2007)
By permitting Department of Revenue to apply either segregation method or apportionment method of allocation, this provision creates dichotomy between unitary and nonunitary businesses, not between business and nonbusiness income under Uniform Division of Income for Tax Purposes Act.

This provision does not preclude apportionment of gain from assets sold in course of liquidation. Crystal Communications, Inc. v. Dept. of Revenue, 353 Or 300, 297 P3d 1256 (2013)
