The average annual mineral units or timber units shall be computed by dividing the aggregate of such mineral units or timber units for the base period by the number of months for which the mineral property or the timber block was in operation during the base period and by multiplying the amount so ascertained by twelve. In any case in which the taxpayer establishes, under regulations prescribed by the Commissioner with the approval of the Secretary, that the operation of any mineral property or any timber block is normally prevented for a specified period each year by physical events outside the control of the taxpayer, the number of months during which such mineral property or timber block is regularly in operation during a taxable year shall be used in computing the average annual mineral units, or timber units, instead of twelve. Any mineral property, or any timber block, which was in operation for less than six months during the base period shall, for the purposes of this section, be deemed not to have been in operation during the base period. “(6) Mineral property.— The term ‘mineral property’ means a mineral deposit, the development and plant, necessary for the extraction of the deposit, and so much of the surface of the land as is necessary for purposes of such extraction. “(7) Minerals.— The term ‘minerals’ means ores of the metals, coal, and such nonmetallic substances as abrasives, asbestos, asphaltum, barytes, borax, building stone, cement rock, clay, crushed stone, feldspar, fluorspar, fuller’s earth, graphite, gravel, gypsum, limestone, magnesite, marl, mica, mineral pigments, peat, potash, precious stones, refractories, rock phosphate, salt, sand, silica, slate, soapstone, soda, sulphur, and talc. “(8) Timber block.— The term ‘timber block’ means an operation unit existing as of December 31, 1941, which includes all the taxpayer’s timber which would logically go to a single given point of manufacture, but shall not include any operation unit acquired after December 31, 1941. 56 Stat. 906 “(9) Normal unit profit.— The term ‘normal unit profit’ means the average profit for the base period per mineral unit for such period, determined by dividing the net income with respect to minerals recovered from the mineral property (computed with the allowance for depletion computed in accordance with the basis for depletion applicable to the current taxable year) during the base period by the number of mineral units recovered from the mineral property during the base period. “(10) Estimated recoverable units.— The term ‘estimated recoverable units’ means the estimated number of units of metal, coal, or nonmetallic substances in the estimated recoverable minerals from the mineral property at the end of the taxable year plus the excess output for such year. All estimates shall be subject to the approval of the Commissioner, the determinations of whom, for the purposes of this section, shall be final and conclusive. “(11) Exempt excess output.— The term ‘exempt excess output’ for any taxable year means a number of units equal to the following percentages of the excess output for such year: “100 per centum if the excess output exceeds 50 per centum of the estimated recoverable units; “95 per centum if the excess output exceeds 33% but not 50 per centum of the estimated recoverable units; “90 per centum if the excess output exceeds 25 but not 33% per centum of the estimated recoverable units; “85 per centum if the excess output exceeds 20 but not 25 per centum of the estimated recoverable units; “80 per centum if the excess output exceeds 16% but not 20 per centum of the estimated recoverable units; “60 per centum if the excess output exceeds 14% but not 16% per centum of the estimated recoverable units; “40 per centum if the excess output, exceeds 12% but not 14% per centum of the estimated recoverable units; “30 per centum if the excess output exceeds 10 but not 12% per centum of the estimated recoverable units; “20 per centum if the excess output exceeds 5 but not 10 per centum of the estimated recoverable units. “(12) Unit net income.— The term ‘unit net income’ means the amount ascertained by dividing the net income (computed with the allowance for depletion) from the coal or iron ore or the timber recovered from the coal mining property, iron mining property, or timber block, as the case may be, during the taxable year by the number of units of coal or iron ore, or timber, recovered from such property in such year. “(b) Nontaxable Income From Exempt Excess Output.— “(1) General rule.— For any taxable year for which the excess output of mineral property which was in operation during the base period exceeds 5 per centum of the estimated recoverable units from such property, the nontaxable income from exempt excess output for such year shall be an amount equal to the exempt excess output for such year multiplied by the normal unit profit, but such amount shall not exceed the net income (computed with the allowance for depletion) attributable to the excess output for such year. “(2) Coal and iron mines.— For any taxable year, the non-taxable income from exempt excess output of a coal mining or iron mining property which was in operation during the base56 Stat. 907period shall be an amount equal to the excess output of such property for such year multiplied by one-half of the unit net income from such property for such year, or an amount determined under paragraph (1), whichever the taxpayer elects in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Commissioner with the approval of the Secretary. “(3) Timber properties.— For any taxable year, the nontaxable income from exempt excess output of a timber block which was in operation during the base period shall be an amount equal to the excess output of such property for such year multiplied by one-half of the unit net income from such property for such year. “(c) Nontaxable Bonus Income.— The term ‘nontaxable bonus income’ means the amount of the income derived from bonus payments made by any agency of the United States Government on account of the production in excess of a specified quota of a mineral product or of timber the exhaustion of which gives rise to an allowance for depletion under section 23 (m), but such amount shall not[53 Stat. 14](/us/stat/53/14).[26 U. S. C. § 23 (m)](/us/usc/t26/s23/m). exceed the net income (computed with the allowance for depletion) attributable to the output in excess of such quota. “(d) Rule in Case Income From Excess Output Includes Bonus Payment.— In any case in which the income attributable to the excess output includes bonus payments (as provided in subsection (c)), the taxpayer may elect, under regulations prescribed by the Commissioner with the approval of the Secretary, to receive either the benefits of subsection
(b)or subsection
(c)with respect to such income as is attributable to excess output above the specified quota.” "

For the purposes of this subparagraph, the excess profits net income for the short taxable year shall not be placed on an annual basis as provided in subparagraph (A), and the excess profits net income for the twelve-month period used shall in no case be considered less than the excess profits net income for the short taxable year. The benefits of this subparagraph shall not be allowed unless the taxpayer, at such time as regulations prescribed hereunder require, makes application therefor in accordance with such regulations, and such application, in case the return was filed without regard to this subparagraph, shall be considered a claim for credit or refund.

(c)and
(d)are applicable to any current taxable year, subsection
(d)shall be applied without regard to subsection (c), and subsection
(c)shall be applied as if the tax under this subchapter, except for subsection (c), was the tax computed under subsection

(A)or
(B)would apply to the relationship between the parties. “(b) Circumstances of Adjustment.— “(1) If— “(A) in determining at any time the tax of a taxpayer under this subchapter an item affecting the determination of the excess profits credit is treated in a manner inconsistent with the treatment accorded such item in the determination of the income-tax liability of such taxpayer or a predecessor for a prior taxable year or years, and “(B) the treatment of such item in the prior taxable year or years consistently with the determination under this subchapter would effect an increase or decrease in the amount of the income taxes previously determined for such taxable year or years, and “(C) on the date of such determination of the tax under this subchapter correction of the effect of the inconsistent treatment in any one or more of the prior taxable years is prevented (except for the provisions of section 3801) by the[53 Stat. 471](/us/stat/53/471).[26 U.

The amount of each such tax previously determined for each such taxable year shall be

There shall then be ascertained the increase or decrease in each such tax previously determined for each such year which results solely from the treatment of the item consistently with the treatment accorded such item in the determination of the tax liability under this subchapter. To the increase or decrease so ascertained for each such tax for each such year there shall be added interest thereon computed as if the increase or decrease constituted a deficiency or an overpayment, as the case may be, for such prior taxable year. Such interest shall be computed to the fifteenth day of the third month following the close of the excess profits tax taxable year with respect to which the determination is made. There shall be ascertained the difference between the aggregate of such increases, plus the interest attributable to each, and the aggregate of such decreases, plus the interest attributable to each, and the net increase or decrease so ascertained shall be the amount of the adjustment under this section with respect to the inconsistent treatment of such item. “
(e)Interest in case of net increase or decrease.— “(1) If an adjustment under this section results in a net decrease, or more than one adjustment results in an aggregate net decrease, the portion of such net decrease or aggregate net decrease, as the case may be, subtracted from the tax which represents interest shall be included in gross income of the taxable year in which falls the date prescribed for the payment of the tax under this subchapter. “(2) If an adjustment under this section results in a net increase, or more than one adjustment results in an aggregate net increase, the portion of such net increase or aggregate, net increase, as the case may be, which represents interest shall be allowed as a deduction in computing net income for the taxable year in which falls the date prescribed for the payment of the tax under this subchapter.” "

(a)(relating to interest on certain obligations of the United States and its instrumentalities) over gross income, or the aggregate of such excesses minus the aggregate of the amounts of excess profits net income, as the case may be, for such taxable years shall be adjusted to such extent as the Commissioner, under regulations prescribed by him with the approval of the Secretary, prescribes as necessary in order that such base period year shall reflect income for a period of twelve months. For the purposes of this section, a taxable year of a component corporation beginning within the base period which also begins with or within the taxable year of the acquiring corporation in which the acquisition occurred, or which also begins with or within the same base period year with which or within which began such taxable year of the acquiring corporation, shall be considered a taxable year of the acquiring corporation, 56 Stat. 927and such taxable year shall be considered to have begun in the base period year with which or within which such taxable year of the acquiring corporation began. “(b) By adding the plus amounts ascertained under subsection
(2)for each year of the base period; and “(1) If the tax under this subchapter is being computed for a taxable year not beginning after December 31, 1941, by subtracting from such sum, if for two or more years of the basis period there was a minus amount, the sum of the minus amounts, excluding the greatest; or “(2) If the tax under this subchapter is being computed for a taxable year beginning after December 31, 1941, by subtracting from such sum the sum of the minus amounts. If the amount used under the preceding sentence for the lowest year is less than 75 per centum of the sum of the plus amounts reduced by the sum of the minus amounts for the other years in the base period divided by three, the amount which shall be used for such lowest year shall be 75 per centum of the amount last ascertained. “(c) By dividing the amount ascertained under subsection
(b)by four. “(d) In no case shall the average base period net income be less than zero. In the case of a taxpayer which becomes an acquiring corporation in any taxable year beginning after December 31, 1939, if, on September 11, 1940, and at all times until the taxpayer became an acquiring corporation— “(1) the taxpayer owned not less than 75 per centum of each class of stock of each of the qualified component corporations involved in the transaction in which the taxpayer became an acquiring corporation; or “(2) one of the qualified component corporations involved in the transaction owned not less than 75 per centum of each class of stock of the taxpayer, and of each of the other qualified component corporations involved in the transaction,the average base period net income of the taxpayer shall not be less than

(B)the average base period net income of the taxpayer computed without regard to the base period net income of any of its qualified component corporations involved in the transaction. As used in this subsection, the term ‘qualified component corporation’ means a component corporation which was in existence on the date of the beginning of the taxpayer’s base period. “(e) For the purposes of subsection
(1)of this section— “(1) If neither the taxpayer corporation nor any of its component corporations was actually in existence on December 31, 1936, the excess profits net income of each such corporation for each base period year at no time during which any of such corporations was actually in existence, shall (except in the case of a corporation which became a component corporation of its acquiring corporation before the beginning of the acquiring corporation’s first taxable year which began in 1940) be an amount equal to 8 per centum of the excess of— “(A) in the case of any such corporation to which paragraph

For the purposes of this paragraph, stock in either such corporation which has in the hands of the other corporation a basis determined with reference to the basis of stock previously acquired by the issuance of such other corporation’s own stock shall be deemed to have been paid in for the stock of such other corporation. “(4) In determining whether, for any taxable year, the deductions plus the credit for dividends received and the credit [53 Stat. 18](/us/stat/53/18).[26 U.

For the purposes of this paragraph, stock which has, in the hands of the taxpayer or first corporation, as the case may be, a basis determined with reference to the basis of stock previously acquired by the issuance of the taxpayer’s or first corporation’s, as the case may be, own stock, shall be considered as having been acquired in consideration of the issuance of the taxpayer’s or first corporation’s, as the case may be, own stock. “(2) If during the taxable year for which tax is computed under this subchapter the taxpayer acquires assets in a transaction which constitutes it an acquiring corporation, the amount includible under subsection (a), attributable to such transaction, shall be limited to an amount which bears the same ratio to the amount computed without regard to this subsection as the number of days in the taxable year after such transaction bears to the total number of days in such taxable year. “(g) In the case of a partnership which is a component corporation by virtue of section 740
