§ 9007. Determination and redetermination of tax, penalties and interest due. (a) Determination.-- If the department is not satisfied with the report and payment of tax made by any
distributor under the provisions of this chapter, it is authorized to make a determination
of the tax due by the distributor based upon the facts contained in the report or
upon any information within its possession. (b) Notice.-- Promptly after the date of determination, the department shall send by registered
mail a copy to the distributor. Within 90 days after the date upon which the copy
of the determination was mailed, the distributor may file with the department a petition
for redetermination of such tax. A petition for redetermination must state specifically
the reasons which the petitioner believes allow the redetermination and must be supported
by affidavit that it is not made for the purpose of delay and that the facts set forth
are true. The department shall, within six months after the date of a determination,
dispose of a petition for redetermination. Notice of the action taken upon any petition
for redetermination shall be given to the petitioner promptly after the date of redetermination
by the department. (c) Administrative appeal.-- Within 60 days after the date of mailing of notice by the department of the action
taken on any petition for redetermination filed with it, the distributor against whom
the determination was made may by petition request the Board of Finance and Revenue
to review the action. A petition for review must state specifically the reason upon
which the petitioner relies or must incorporate by reference the petition for redetermination
in which the reasons have been stated. The petition must be supported by affidavit
that it is not made for the purpose of delay and that the facts set forth are true.
If the petitioner is a corporation or association, the affidavit must be made by one
of its principal officers. A petition for review may be amended by the petitioner
at any time prior to the hearing. The board shall act finally in disposition of petitions
filed with it within six months after they have been received. In the event of the
failure to dispose of a petition within six months, the action taken by the department
upon the petition for redetermination shall be deemed sustained. The board may sustain
the action taken on the petition for redetermination or it may redetermine the tax
due upon such basis as it deems according to law and equity. Notice of the action
of the board shall be given to the department and to the petitioner. (d) Sanctions.-- If a distributor neglects or refuses to make a report and payment of tax required
by this chapter, the department shall estimate the tax due by such distributor and
determine the amount due for taxes, penalties and interest. There shall be no right
of review or appeal from this determination. Upon neglect or refusal, permits issued
to the distributor may be suspended or revoked by the department and required to be
surrendered to the department. Cross References. Section 9007 is referred to in section 9017 of this title.
