(1) Section 15-31-312, MCA, permits a departure
from the allocation and apportionment provisions of 15-31-302 through
15-31-311, MCA, only in limited and specific cases. Section 15-31-312, MCA, may be invoked only in specific cases
where unusual fact situations (which ordinarily will be unique and
nonrecurring) produce incongruous results under the apportionment and
allocation provisions contained in 15-31-302 through 15-31-311, MCA.
(2) In the case of certain industries such as
air transportation, rail transportation, ship transportation, trucking,
television, radio, motion pictures, various types of professional athletics,
and so forth, as the department deems necessary, the foregoing rules in respect
to the apportionment formula do not set forth appropriate procedures for
determining the apportionment factors.
Nothing in 15-31-312, MCA, or in ARM 42.26.261 through 42.26.263 shall
preclude the department from establishing appropriate procedures under
15-31-306 through 15-31-311, MCA, for determining the apportionment factors for
each such industry, but such procedures shall be applied uniformly.
