§ 56-4-219 — Refund of erroneously paid taxes

(a) With respect to any revenues or receipts collected by the department, any other law to the contrary notwithstanding, the amounts determined to have been erroneously paid may be refunded by the procedure developed by the commissioner of finance and administration and approved by the comptroller of the treasury. (b) The procedure shall provide that no refund shall be made unless within three (3) years from December 31 of the year in which the erroneous payment was made the refund is either requested by the claimant or made by the state on its own motion. A refund of taxes that is based solely on a final court adjudication shall not be made to any person that is not either a party to the action or a party to another similar action brought pursuant to title 67, chapter 1, part 9. The decision of the appropriate state official with respect to any refund request shall be final and not subject to review in accordance with the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act, compiled in title 4, chapter 5.
