- Agent requested backdated registration, denied by CCS
- Taxpayer purchased properties for development
- Main issues: voluntary vs mandatory registration, Commissioner’s discretion
- TCO decided registration was voluntary, CCS’s decision not to backdate was correct
- Effective date of registration depends on voluntary or mandatory registration
- Commissioner may determine date of registration based on circumstances
