§ 375.330 — Waiver of tax, penalty and interest

Nevada § 375.330

• Jurisdiction: Nevada
• Title 32: REVENUE AND TAXATION
• Ch. 375: Taxes

Text

1. The county recorder may waive any tax, penalty and interest owed by the taxpayer pursuant to this chapter, other than the tax imposed by NRS 375.023 , if the taxpayer meets the criteria adopted by regulation. If a waiver is granted pursuant to this subsection, the county shall prepare and maintain on file a statement that contains:
(a) The reason for the waiver;
(b) The amount of the tax, penalty and interest owed by the taxpayer; and
(c) The amount of the tax, penalty and interest waived by the county.
2. If the county recorder or a designated hearing officer finds that the failure of a person to make a timely payment of any tax imposed is the result of circumstances beyond his or her control and occurred despite the exercise of ordinary care and without intent to avoid such payment, the county recorder may relieve the person of all or part of any interest or penalty or both.
3. If a person proves to the satisfaction of the county recorder that the person has in good faith remitted the tax in reliance upon written advice provided by an officer or employee of the county recorder, an opinion of the district attorney or Attorney General, or the written results of an audit of the taxpayer’s records conducted by the county recorder, the county recorder may not require the taxpayer to pay delinquent taxes, penalties or interest if the county recorder determines after the completion of a subsequent audit that the taxes the taxpayer remitted were deficient.
