Section 804. Review; assessment of additional tax  


Latest version.
  • Any final determination
      of the amount of any tax  payable  hereunder  shall  be  reviewable  for
      error,  illegality or unconstitutionality or any other reason whatsoever
      by a proceeding under article seventy-eight of the  civil  practice  law
      and  rules  if  the proceeding is commenced within ninety days after the
      giving of the notice of such  final  determination,  provided,  however,
      that  any  such  proceeding shall not be instituted unless the amount of
      any tax sought to be reviewed, with such interest and penalties  thereon
      as  may  be  provided  for by local law, shall first be deposited and an
      undertaking filed, in such amount and with such sureties as a justice of
      the supreme court shall approve to the effect that if such proceeding be
      dismissed or the tax confirmed, the petitioner will pay  all  costs  and
      charges which may accrue in the prosecution of such proceeding.
        Where any tax imposed hereunder shall have been erroneously, illegally
      or  unconstitutionally  collected and application for the refund thereof
      duly made to the  proper  officer  or  officers,  and  such  officer  or
      officers  shall  have  made  a  determination  denying such refund, such
      determination  shall  be  reviewable  by  a  proceeding  under   article
      seventy-eight  of  the civil practice law and rules if the proceeding is
      commenced within ninety days after the giving  of  the  notice  of  such
      denial,  that  a final determination of tax due was not previously made,
      and that an undertaking is filed with the proper officer or officers  in
      such  amount  and  with  such sureties as a justice of the supreme court
      shall approve to the effect that if such proceeding be dismissed or  the
      tax  confirmed,  the petitioner will pay all costs and charges which may
      accrue in the prosecution of such proceeding.
        Except in the case of a wilfully  false  and  fraudulent  return  with
      intent  to  evade the tax, no assessment of additional tax shall be made
      with respect to the tax imposed under this article, after the expiration
      of more than three years from the  date  of  the  filing  of  a  return,
      provided,  however,  that  where no return has been filed as provided by
      local law, the tax may be assessed at any time.
