any person other than the taxpayer who is a transferee or fiduciary
of the taxpayer shall be as follows:
(a) In the case of the liability of an initial transferee of the
property of the taxpayer, within one year after the expiration of the

(b) In the case of the liability of a transferee of a transferee
of the property of the taxpayer, within one year after the expiration
of the period of limitation for assessment against the preceding
transferee, but only if within three years after the expiration of
the period of limitation for assessment against the taxpayer; except
that if before the expiration of the period of limitation for the
assessment of the liability of the transferee of a transferee, a
court proceeding for the collection of the tax or liability in
respect thereof has been begun against the taxpayer or last preceding
transferee, respectively, then the period of limitation for
assessment of the liability of the transferee of a transferee shall
expire one year after the return of execution in the court
proceeding.
(c) In the case of the liability of a fiduciary, not later than
one year after the liability arises or not later than the expiration
of the period for collection of the tax in respect of which the
liability arises, whichever is the later;
(d) Where before the expiration of the time prescribed in
subdivision (a), (b) or (c) for the assessment of the liability, both
the Franchise Tax Board and the transferee or fiduciary have
consented in writing to its assessment after that time, the liability
may be assessed at any time prior to the expiration of the period
agreed upon. The period so agreed upon may be extended by subsequent
agreements in writing made before the expiration of the period
previously agreed upon.
(e) Notwithstanding any of the above subdivisions, the running of
the period of limitations upon the assessment of liability against
any transferee shall be suspended for the period during which the
taxpayer exercises an administrative remedy as provided in Section
19041, 19045, or 19048.
