Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) If the commission believes that the assessment or collection of any tax or penalty in lieu of tax
will be jeopardized by delay, it shall, notwithstanding the assessment provisions of Title 59,
Chapter 2, Property Tax Act, Chapter 7, Corporate Franchise and Income Taxes, Chapter 10,
Individual Income Tax Act, or Chapter 12, Sales and Use Tax Act, immediately assess such tax
or penalty in lieu of tax (together with all interest, penalties, and additions to tax provided for by
law), and notice and demand shall be made by the commission for the payment thereof.
(2) If the jeopardy assessment is made before any notice of the tax deficiency to which the
jeopardy assessment relates has been mailed under Title 59, Chapter 2, Property Tax Act,
Chapter 7, Corporate Franchise and Income Taxes, Chapter 10, Individual Income Tax Act, or
Chapter 12, Sales and Use Tax Act, then the commission shall mail a notice under this section
within 60 days after the making of the assessment.
(3) The jeopardy assessment may be made of a deficiency greater or less than that set forth in the
notice of deficiency, which has been mailed to the taxpayer, and whether or not the taxpayer
has filed a petition with the commission. The commission may, at any time before rendering its
decision, abate such assessment, or any unpaid portion thereof, to the extent that it believes
the assessment to be excessive in amount. The commission has jurisdiction to redetermine the
entire amount of the deficiency and of all amounts assessed.
(4) If the jeopardy assessment is made after the commission has rendered a decision on a
taxpayer's petition for redetermination, the assessment may be made only in respect to the
amount of the deficiency determined by the commission in its decision.
