Article 1.5. Suit For Tax of California Revenue And Taxation Code >> Division 2. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 6. >> Article 1.5.

The Controller may request the Attorney General to bring suit for the recovery of any unpaid tax, interest, penalties, and costs.

The Attorney General shall bring suit for any amount due and costs on the written request of the Controller and in the name of the people of the State of California in a court of competent jurisdiction in the County of Sacramento.

Payment of an amount to the board for and on account of the tax and the acceptance thereof does not bar an action by the state to recover any additional amount which is actually due.

In the action a writ of attachment may be issued in the manner provided by Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 485.010) of Title 6.5 of Part 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure without the showing required by Section 485.010 of the Code of Civil Procedure.

In the action a certificate issued by the board showing unpaid taxes determined against any supplier shall be prima facie evidence of all of the following:
  (a) The determination of the tax, the delinquency thereof, and the amount of the tax, interest, penalties, and costs due and unpaid to the state.
  (b) The indebtedness of the supplier to the state in the amount of the tax, interest, and penalties therein appearing unpaid.
  (c) The full compliance by all persons required to perform administrative duties under this part with all the forms of law in relation to the determination and levy of the tax.
