Reference: Sections 6561, 7710, 8851, 30174, 30175, 30261, 38441, 40091, 41033, 41085, 43301, 45301, 46351, 50114, 55081 and 60350, Revenue and Taxation Code.

(a) A petition for redetermination must be filed within 30 days from the date that the notice of determination was mailed to the person against whom the notice was issued.

(b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), a petition for redetermination of a determination issued under Revenue and Taxation Code section 30173 (Cigarette and Tobacco Products Tax Law) must be filed within 10 days from the date that the notice of determination was mailed.

(c) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), a petition for redetermination of a determination issued under Revenue and Taxation Code section 41033 (Emergency Telephone Users Surcharge Law) must be filed within 60 days from the date that the notice of determination was mailed.

(d) A determination contained within a notice of determination becomes final if a petition for redetermination is not filed within the applicable time period set forth in subdivision (a), (b), or (c).

(e) A petition for redetermination is premature and not valid if it is filed before a notice of determination or notice of successor liability is issued. However, a premature petition for redetermination may be treated as an administrative protest under regulation 35019.

(f) Except for a jeopardy determination, collection activities will not commence until a liability is final. The filing of a timely petition for redetermination will prevent the liability in the notice of determination being petitioned from becoming final, and will prevent the commencement of collection activities with regard to amounts contained in the notice of determination being petitioned, until the petition has been acted upon and the assessed liability becomes final.
