Section 6070.5 Of Article 2. Permits From California Revenue And Taxation Code >> Division 2. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 2. >> Article 2.
6070.5
. (a) The board may refuse to issue a permit to any person
submitting an application for a permit as required in Section 6066 if
the person desiring to engage in or conduct business as a seller
within this state has an outstanding final liability with the board
for any amount due under this part.
(b) In addition to the provisions of subdivision (a), the board
may also refuse to issue a permit if the person desiring to engage in
or conduct business as a seller within this state is not a natural
person or individual and any person controlling the person desiring
to engage in or conduct business as a seller within this state has an
outstanding final liability with the board as provided in
subdivision (a). For the purposes of this section, "controlling" has
the same meaning as defined in Section 22971 of the Business and
Professions Code.
(c) For purposes of this section, a liability will not be deemed
to be outstanding if the person has entered into an installment
payment agreement pursuant to Section 6832 for any liability and is
in full compliance with the terms of the installment payment
agreement.
(d) If the person submitting an application for a seller's permit
has entered into an installment payment agreement as provided in
subdivision (c) and fails to comply with the terms of the installment
payment agreement, the board may seek revocation of the seller's
permit obtained by the person pursuant to this section.
(e) (1) Whenever any person desiring to engage in or conduct
business as a seller within this state is denied a permit pursuant to
this section, the board shall give to the person written notice of
the denial. The notice of the denial may be served personally, by
mail, or by other means deemed appropriate by the board. If served by
mail, the notice shall be placed in a sealed envelope, with postage
paid, addressed to the person at the address as it appears in the
records of the board. The giving of notice shall be deemed complete
at the time of deposit of the notice at the United States Postal
Service, or a mailbox, subpost office, substation or mail chute, or
other facility regularly maintained or provided by the United States
Postal Service, without extension of time for any reason. In lieu of
mailing, a notice may be served personally by delivering to the
person to be served and service shall be deemed complete at the time
of the delivery. Delivery of notice by other means deemed appropriate
by the board may include, but is not limited to, electronic
transmission. Personal service or delivery by other means deemed
appropriate by the board to a corporation may be made by delivery of
a notice to any person listed on the application as an officer.
(2) Any person who is denied a seller's permit pursuant to this
section may request reconsideration of the board's denial of the
permit. This request shall be submitted in writing within 30 days of
the date of the notice of denial. Timely submission of a written
request for reconsideration shall afford the person a hearing in a
manner that is consistent with a hearing provided for by Section
6070. If a request for reconsideration is not filed within the 30-day
period, the denial becomes final at the end of the 30-day period.
(f) The board shall consider offers in compromise when determining
whether to issue a seller's permit.
