(3) (a) For purposes of this section, if any such return, claim, statement, or other document, or payment, is sent by United States registered mail: (i) such registration shall be prima facie evidence that the return, claim, statement, or other document was delivered to the agency, officer, or office to which addressed; and (ii) the date of registration shall be deemed the postmark date. (b) The commission may provide by rule the extent to which the provisions of Subsection (3)(a) with respect to prima facie evidence of delivery and the postmark date shall apply to certified mail. (4) This section does not apply with respect to currency or other medium of payment unless actually received and accounted for.
