. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, a
voluntary disclosure agreement shall be null and void in the event
that the Franchise Tax Board finds that with respect to the agreement
any of the following circumstances exist:
(1) The qualified entity has misrepresented any material fact in
applying for the voluntary disclosure agreement or in entering into
the agreement.
(2) The qualified entity fails to file any returns for any taxable
year covered by the voluntary disclosure period agreed upon on or
before the due date prescribed under the terms of the agreement in
accordance with paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 19191.
(3) (A) The qualified entity fails to pay in full any tax, fee,
penalty, or interest due within the time prescribed under the terms
of the voluntary disclosure agreement in accordance with paragraph
(2) of subdivision (d) of Section 19191 or to pay any installments
thereof due within the time prescribed under the terms of an
installment payment arrangement in accordance with subparagraph (B).
(B) The Franchise Tax Board may enter into an installment payment
arrangement, which shall include provisions for interest, in lieu of
the full payment required under paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of
Section 19191. Failure by the qualified entity to comply with the
terms of the installment payment arrangement shall also render the
voluntary disclosure agreement null and void.
(C) Notwithstanding subparagraphs (A) and (B), an applicant
applying for an installment payment arrangement shall have the same
time periods as identified in paragraphs (1) and (2) of subdivision
(d) of Section 19008 to pay in full any tax, fee, penalty, or

for any taxable year covered by the voluntary disclosure agreement,
including any amount shown on a qualified amended return, as defined
in Section 1.6664-2(c)(3) of Title 26 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, understates by 10 percent or more the tax imposed under
either Part 10 (commencing with Section 17001) or Part 11 (commencing
with Section 23001) and the qualified entity cannot demonstrate to
the satisfaction of the Franchise Tax Board that a good faith effort
was made to accurately compute the tax.
(5) The qualified entity fails to begin to prospectively comply
with all franchise and income tax laws of this state as agreed upon
under the terms of the voluntary disclosure agreement in accordance
with paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 19191.
(b) In the event that the Franchise Tax Board finds that the
qualified entity has failed to comply under any of the circumstances
which render the voluntary disclosure agreement null and void as set
forth in subdivision (a), the limitation on assessment for any
taxable years and the waiver of any penalties as provided for in
paragraph (1) of subdivision (d) and subdivision (h) of Section 19191
shall not be binding on the Franchise Tax Board.
(c) The amendments to this section made by the act adding this
subdivision shall apply to voluntary disclosure agreements entered
into on or after January 1, 2011.
