Section 11-302.1. Error in record of payment of tax or assessment  


Latest version.
  • (a)  If the records of the department of finance show a charge as paid
      due to a misapplied payment or other error,  and  the  department  later
      corrects  the  records,  interest  shall  not be imposed until after the
      department (i) corrects the error and (ii) sends a statement of  account
      or  other  similar  bill  or  notice stating the amount due and when the
      charge must be paid to avoid the accrual of interest.
        (b) The provisions of this section shall not apply to  an  installment
      of  tax  or  an  assessment  for  which payment, made electronically, by
      check, or by other means, was dishonored.
        (c) The provisions of this section shall not apply where the error  in
      the  records  of  the  department was made as a result of fraud or other
      criminal conduct by the taxpayer or any person  acting  on  his  or  her
      behalf or at his or her request.
