Article 4. Jeopardy Determinations of California Revenue And Taxation Code >> Division 2. >> Part 24. >> Chapter 3. >> Article 4.
If the board believes that the collection of any amount of
fee will be jeopardized by delay, it shall thereupon make a
determination of the amount of fee due, noting that fact upon the
determination, and the amount of fee shall be immediately due and
payable. If the amount of the fee, interest, and penalty specified in
the jeopardy determination is not paid, or a petition for
redetermination is not filed, within 10 days after the service upon
the taxpayer of notice of the determination, the determination
becomes final, and the delinquency penalty and interest provided in
Section 46154 shall attach to the amount of fee specified therein.
The feepayer against whom a jeopardy determination is made
may file a petition for the redetermination thereof, pursuant to
Article 5 (commencing with Section 46351), with the board within 10
days after the service upon the feepayer of notice of the
determination, but he or she shall, within the 10-day period, deposit
with the board such security as it determines to be necessary to
ensure compliance with this part. The security may be sold by the
board at public sale if it becomes necessary in order to recover any
amount due under this part. Notice of the sale may be served upon the
person who deposited the security personally or by mail in the same
manner as prescribed for service of notice by Section 46202. Upon any
such sale, the surplus, if any, above the amount due under this part
shall be returned to the person who deposited the security.
(a) In accordance with such rules and regulations as the
board may prescribe, the person against whom a jeopardy determination
is made may apply for an administrative hearing for one or more of
the following purposes:
(1) To establish that the determination is excessive.
(2) To establish that the sale of property that may be seized
after issuance of the jeopardy determination, or any part thereof,
shall be delayed pending the administrative hearing because the sale
would result in irreparable injury to the person.
(3) To request the release of all or a part of the property to the
person.
(4) To request a stay of collection activities.
(b) The application shall be filed within 30 days after service of
the notice of jeopardy determination and shall be in writing and
state the specific factual and legal grounds upon which it is
founded. The person shall not be required to post any security in
order to file the application and to obtain the hearing. However, if
the person does not deposit, within the 10-day period prescribed in
Section 46302, such security as the board may determine to be
necessary to ensure compliance with this part, the filing of the
application shall not operate as a stay of collection activities,
except the sale of property seized after issuance of the jeopardy
determination. Upon a showing of good cause for failure to file a
timely application for administrative hearing, the board may allow a
filing of the application and grant the person an administrative
hearing. The filing of an application pursuant to this section shall
not affect the provisions of Section 46301 relating to the finality
date of the determination or to penalty or interest.
