Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) If the taxpayer requests a
hearing, the additional tax or overpayment shall not become due
and payable until after hearing and determination of the tax by
the tax appeals commission or disposition of the appeal pursuant
to stipulation and order under ss. 73.01 (4) (a) and 73.03 (25).
(2) No person against whom an assessment of income or franchise tax has been made shall be allowed in any action either as
plaintiff or defendant or in any other proceeding to question such
assessment unless the requirements of ss. 71.88 and 71.90 (1)
shall first have been complied with, and unless such person shall
have made full disclosure under oath at the hearing before the tax
appeals commission of any and all income that the person received. The requirement of full disclosure under this subsection
may be waived by the department of revenue.
(3) As soon as the appellant shall have filed a petition with
the tax appeals commission, all collection proceedings, except
proceedings under s. 71.74 (14), shall be stayed until final determination of the appeal and any review thereof.
(4) Any person who contests an assessment before the tax appeals commission or in court shall state in his or her petition or
notice of appeal what portion if any of the tax is admitted to be
legally assessable and correct. Within 5 days after notice by the
department, the appellant shall pay to the department the whole
amount of the admitted tax and such tax shall be appropriated in
accordance with s. 25.20. Any such payment shall be considered
an admission of the legality of the tax thus paid, and such tax so
paid cannot be recovered in the pending appeal or in any other action or proceeding.
(5) After final decision or other disposition, the record shall
be returned to the department of revenue, and the department
shall proceed to collect the taxes in the same manner as other income or franchise taxes are collected.
