- Former Code 1933, §§ 92-3114 and 92-3115 (see now O.C.G.A. §§ 48-7-34 and48-7-35) confer upon nonresidents and corporations the right to seek alternative methods of determining their Georgia-derived income when such methods would more accurately reflect that income than would former Code 1933, § 92-3113 (see now O.C.G.A. § 48-7-31). Henry C. Beck Co. v. Blackmon, 131 Ga. App. 634, 206 S.E.2d 842 (1974), aff'd, 233 Ga. 412, 211 S.E.2d 711 (1975).
Under former Code 1933, §§ 92-3114 and 92-3115 (see now O.C.G.A. §§ 48-7-34 and48-7-35) that part of the net income of a corporation engaged in the business of manufacturing or selling tangible personal property in this state, and elsewhere, which should be allocated and apportioned to this state, may be determined. This is especially true when such a corporation in the corporation's regular business activities did not have all of the factors of the three factor formula in former Code 1933, § 92-3113 (see now O.C.G.A. § 48-7-31). State v. Coca Cola Bottling Co., 212 Ga. 630, 94 S.E.2d 708 (1956).
- No power is granted to the commissioner to decide personally, when no request is made, whether another formula would be more indicative of a taxpayer's tax situation. Henry C. Beck Co. v. Blackmon, 131 Ga. App. 634, 206 S.E.2d 842 (1974), aff'd, 233 Ga. 412, 211 S.E.2d 711 (1975).
- Company which files the company's income tax return under former Code 1933, § 92-3114 (see now O.C.G.A. § 48-7-34), which return was accepted by the commissioner, although no express consent was given by the latter permitting the filing under former § 92-3114, may nevertheless within the statute of limitations amend the company's return by filing under former Code 1933, § 92-3113 (see O.C.G.A. § 48-7-31) and procure any refund to which the company may be entitled since the first filing was unauthorized and therefore did not work an estoppel. 1952-53 Op. Att'y Gen. p. 434.
