Article 5. Miscellaneous of California Revenue And Taxation Code >> Division 2. >> Part 8. >> Chapter 7. >> Article 5.

Proceedings for the collection of any tax imposed by this part may be commenced at any time after the tax is due and within 10 years from and after the time a delinquency determination is issued pursuant to the provisions of this part.

In any proceeding for the enforcement of the estate tax a certificate by the Controller showing the amount due is prima facie evidence of the imposition of the tax, of the fact that it is due, and of compliance by the Controller with all the provisions of this part in relation to the computation and determination of the tax.

No injunction, writ of mandate, or other legal or equitable process shall ever issue in any suit, action, or proceeding in any court against this state or any officer of this state to prevent or enjoin the collection of any tax imposed by this part.

The Controller may bring suits in the courts of other states to collect estate taxes payable under this part. An official of another state which extends a like comity to this state may sue for the collection of similar taxes in the courts of this state. A certificate by the secretary of state of another state, under the great seal of that state, that an official thereof has authority to collect its estate or other transfer taxes is conclusive evidence of the authority of that official in any suit for the collection of those taxes in any court of this state.

The remedies of the state for the enforcement of the tax imposed by this part are cumulative, and no action taken by the Controller or any other state official constitutes an election by the state or any of its officers to pursue any remedy to the exclusion of any other remedy for which provision is made by this part.
