  • 1.
      An organization that is removed from the tax-exempt  organizations  list
      by  the  internal  revenue service pursuant to subsection (p) of section
      501 of title 26 of the United States Code shall not be exempt  from  any
      tax,  fee  or  other imposition administered by the commissioner, and it
      shall also not be an exempt  organization  with  respect  to  any  sale,
      transfer or assignment, beginning on the later of November eleventh, two
      thousand  three, or the date that the internal revenue service publishes
      revocation of the organization's tax-exempt status. In the case  of  any
      personal  income or corporate franchise tax imposed under or pursuant to
      the authority of this chapter, such revocation of  exempt  status  shall
      apply  with  respect  to  the  entire  taxable year in which the date of
      revocation occurs and to subsequent taxable years.
        2. An organization whose tax-exempt status has been  revoked  pursuant
      to  subdivision one of this section and whose tax-exempt status is later
      restored by the internal revenue service shall be required to  submit  a
      new  application  or applications and be approved before any such status
      shall be restored with respect to any such tax, fee or other  imposition
      administered by the commissioner.
        3.  An  organization  whose tax-exempt status is suspended pursuant to
      subdivision one of this section shall  have  the  right  to  appeal  the
      determination  using  the  procedure prescribed by article forty of this
      chapter or otherwise prescribed pursuant to this chapter, provided  that
      the  organization  cannot challenge the merits of the determination made
      by the internal revenue service.
        4. If an organization makes a sale of property or services on or after
      the date its exempt status has been revoked  under  subdivision  one  of
      this  section, such sale shall be taxable; and the organization shall be
      required to collect, pay or pay over any tax due on any such sale on  or
      after  such  date. If such organization fails to collect tax on any such
      sale, the purchaser shall owe any tax due and shall pay it  directly  to
      the  commissioner  in accordance with applicable law; provided, however,
      that, if such purchaser does not have knowledge that such organization's
      exempt status has been revoked, then such purchaser shall not be  liable
      for  any penalty or interest for failing to file a return or to pay such
      tax if such purchaser files such a return and pays such tax  due  within
      thirty  days of the date that such purchaser learns that the tax is owed
      on such purchase.
