Section 50IAC4.2-10-4. Abnormal obsolescence adjustment for commercial airlines and commercial buslines

   (a) Commercial airlines and the buses of commercial buslines used and operated in interstate commerce may claim an adjustment for abnormal obsolescence, as defined in 50 IAC 4.2-9-3, on the tangible personal property reported pursuant to this section, if the taxpayer follows the procedures and meets the requirements regarding an adjustment for abnormal obsolescence contained in 50 IAC 4.2-9.

  (b) No adjustment will be allowed for normal obsolescence as defined in 50 IAC 4.2-9. The determination of the tentative true tax value pursuant to 50 IAC 4.2-4 automatically makes an allowance for this type of obsolescence.

  (c) The term abnormal obsolescence will be strictly construed and limited to a situation where unforeseen changes in market values, exceptional technological obsolescence, or where destruction by a catastrophe occurs if such events have a direct effect upon the valuation of the property at the tax situs in the state of Indiana.

  (d) The dollar amount of the adjustment may not exceed the allocatable portion of the true tax value of the particular unit of property as determined pursuant to this section for which the carrier claims an adjustment.
