§1625. Appeals from the collector's disallowance of refund claim A.(1) If the collector fails to act on a properly filed claim for refund or credit within one year from the date received by him or if the collector denies the claim in whole or in part, the taxpayer claiming such refund or credit may appeal to the Board of Tax Appeals for a hearing on the claim filed. No appeal may be filed before the expiration of one year from the date of filing such claim unless the collector renders a decision thereon within that time, nor after the expiration of sixty days from the date of mailing by registered mail by the collector to the taxpayer of a notice of the disallowance of the part of the claim to which such appeal relates. (2) A taxpayer's proper appeal to the Board of Tax Appeals within sixty days from the date on any notice of disallowance issued shall also establish that the appeal was filed within sixty days from the date of certified or registered mailing of the notice. B. A notice of disallowance, if issued, shall inform the taxpayer that he has sixty days from the date of the certified or registered mailing of that notice to appeal to the Board of Tax Appeals, and that any consideration, reconsideration, or action by the collector with respect to such claim following the mailing of a notice by registered mail of disallowance shall not operate to extend the period within which an appeal may be taken. C. In answering any such appeal, the collector is authorized to assert a demand for any tax and additions thereto that he may deem is due for the period involved in the claim for refund or credit, and the Board of Tax Appeals shall have jurisdiction to determine the correct amount of tax for the period in controversy and to render judgment ordering the refunding or crediting or any overpayment or the payment of any additional tax, interest and penalty found to be due. Amended by Acts 1958, No. 433, §1; Acts 2015, No. 210, §1, eff. June 23, 2015.
