I/M/O THE BOARD’S REVIEW OF THE APPLICABILITY AND CALCULATION OF A CONSOLIDATED TAX ADJUSTMENT, BPU Dkt. No. EO12121072
On January 23, 2013, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (“BPU” or “Board”) issued an Order establishing a proceeding to address the issue of Consolidated Income Tax Adjustments (“CTAs”). CTAs result from the filing of a consolidated income tax return by a utility, its parent, and other members of a consolidated income tax group. The methodology currently utilized by the BPU to calculate CTAs has been utilized for approximately 20 years. Given the changes in tax laws and corporate structures over this period, the BPU has determined that it would be appropriate to review its consolidated income tax policy.
