(1)
As soon as practical after a return is filed, the department shall examine
it to determine the correct amount of tax. If the department finds that the
amount of tax shown on the return is less than the correct amount, it shall
notify the taxpayer of the amount of the deficiency determined.
(2) If any person fails to file a return or has improperly
purchased motor fuel without the payment of tax, the department shall estimate
the person's liability from any available information and notify the person
of the amount of the deficiency determined.
(3) The amount of the deficiency determined shall constitute
a final assessment together with interest and penalties sixty days after the
date on which notice was mailed to the taxpayer at his or her last-known address
unless a written protest is filed with the department within such sixty-day
period.
(4) The final assessment provisions of this section shall
constitute a final decision of the agency for purposes of the Administrative
Procedure Act.
(5) An assessment made by the department shall be presumed
to be correct. In any case when the validity of the assessment is questioned,
