RELATED RULES--Table of Contents
 
Sec.  1.1562-7  Extension of statutory periods of limitation.

    (a)(1) Under section 1562(g)(1), the statutory period for assessment 
of any deficiency against a corporation which is a component member of a 
controlled group of corporations with respect to any taxable year, to 
the extent such deficiency is attributable to an election under section 
1562(a)(1) or a termination by consent under section 1562(c)(1), shall 
not expire before the expiration of one year after the date such 
election or termination is made.
    (2) Under section 1562(g)(2), the statutory period for allowing or 
making credit or refund of any overpayment of tax by a corporation which 
is a component member of a controlled group of corporations with respect 
to any taxable year, to the extent such overpayment is attributable to 
an election under section 1562(a)(1) or a termination by consent under 
section 1562(c)(1), shall not expire before the expiration of one year 
after the date such election or termination is made.
    (b) For purposes of this section, the deficiency or overpayment in 
tax attributable to an election under section 1562(a)(1) or a 
termination by consent under section 1562(c)(1) shall be that amount of 
the increase or decrease in tax over the amount previously determined 
(as defined in section 1314(a)) for any taxable year which results from 
the application or nonapplication of section 1562, as the case may be. 
In determining the amount of such increase or decrease, due regard shall 
be given to the effect of any change in the amount of the surtax 
exemption (or the application or nonapplication of the additional tax 
under section 1562(b)) on credits allowable for any taxable year. Thus, 
for example, as a result of such change it may be necessary to recompute 
the amount of the investment credit allowable under section 38 for a 
taxable year for which the election or termination is effective and for 
other taxable years affected, or treated as affected, by an investment 
credit carryback or carryover (as defined in section 46(b)) determined 
with reference to the taxable years with respect to which such election 
or termination is effective.
    (c) The provisions of this section shall not be construed to:
    (1) Shorten the period within which an assessment of a deficiency 
may otherwise be made or the credit or refund of an overpayment may 
otherwise be allowed or made, or
    (2) Apply to a deficiency or overpayment for a taxable year if the 
tax liability for such taxable year has been compromised under section 
7122, or is the subject of a closing agreement under section 7121.
