• Title 39: Taxation
• Art.: Procedure and Administration

Text

(1) As used in this part 1, unless the
context otherwise requires, frivolous submission means a request for a hearing
related to the tax set forth in part 1 of article 22 of this title made pursuant to
section 39-21-103 or 39-21-104 that is based on a position that was previously
rejected in a published opinion by a Colorado or federal court.

(2) If the executive director determines that a request for a hearing made
pursuant to section 39-21-103 or 39-21-104 is a frivolous submission, the executive
director may reject the request. If the executive director does not reject the
request, the provisions of section 39-21-103 or 39-21-104 shall apply.

(3) If the executive director rejects a taxpayer's request for a hearing:

(a) The executive director shall notify the taxpayer in writing within a
reasonable time after receiving the taxpayer's request that the taxpayer's request
has been rejected; and

(b) The executive director shall make a final determination within a
reasonable time after receiving the taxpayer's request for a hearing and shall send
the taxpayer a notice of final determination accompanied by a notice and demand
for payment by first-class mail as set forth in section 39-21-105.5.

(4) A taxpayer may appeal the final determination of the executive director
in accordance with the provisions of section 39-21-105.

(5) Unless an appeal is taken as provided in section 39-21-105, the tax,
together with interest thereon and penalties, if any, shall be paid within thirty days
after mailing of the notice and demand for payment by the executive director.
