Permission for a change in the basis of accounting shall be granted only upon written application and under rules and regulations promulgated by the commissioner.

- Any person reporting on the accrual basis of accounting shall be allowed a deduction for bad debts under rules and regulations of the commissioner on the same basis that bad debts are allowed as a deduction on state income tax returns.
