(a)Failure to pay tax.-- If any person fails to pay any tax imposed by this chapter for which he is liable, the department may make a determination of additional tax and interest due by such person based upon any information within its possession or that shall come into its possession. All determinations shall be made so that notice thereof shall reach the parties against whom made within five years after the due date of the tax. Any assessment may be made at any time during that period notwithstanding that the department may have made one or more previous assessments against the taxpayer for the year in question or for any part of that year. In any case, no credit shall be given for any penalty previously assessed or paid.

(b)Failure to file report.-- Where no report is filed, the amount of the tax due may be assessed and collected at any time as to taxable transactions not reported.

(c)False or fraudulent report.-- Where the taxpayer willfully files a false or fraudulent report with intent to evade the tax imposed by this chapter, the amount of tax due may be assessed and collected at any time.

(d)Extension of period for assessment.-- Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this chapter, where, before the expiration of the period prescribed therein for the assessment of a tax, a taxpayer has consented in writing that the period be extended, the amount of tax due may be assessed at any time within the extended period. The period so extended may be extended further by subsequent consent in writing made before the expiration of the extended period.

(e)Petition for redetermination.-- Promptly after the date of the determination, the department shall send, by first class mail, a copy thereof to the person against whom it was made. Within 90 days after the date upon which the copy of any such determination was mailed, such person may file with the department a petition for redetermination of the taxes. The petition for redetermination shall state specifically the reasons which the petitioner believes entitle him to the redetermination, and it shall be supported by affirmation that it is not made for the purpose of delay and that the facts set forth therein are true. It shall be the duty of the department, within six months after the date of any determination, to dispose of any 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.

(f)Review and appeal.-- Any person shall have the right to review by the Board of Finance and Revenue and appeal in the same manner and within the same time as provided by law in the case of capital stock and franchise taxes imposed upon corporations.
