§ 67-1-1406. Notice and demand.

If the commissioner or the commissioner's delegate makes a finding that the collection of such tax is in jeopardy, notice and demand for immediate payment of such tax may be made by the commissioner or the commissioner's delegate, and, upon failure or refusal to pay such tax, collection of the tax by levy shall be lawful without regard to the ten-day period provided in § 67-1-1405. Before a levy is made under § 67-1-1405 upon the salary or wages of a person with respect to any unpaid tax, the commissioner or the commissioner's delegate shall notify the person in writing of an intention to do so. The notice shall be given not less than ten (10) days before the date of the levy by delivering it in person, or by leaving it at the dwelling or usual place of business of the person, or by mailing it to the person's last known address. The ten-day period provided for in subsection (b) does not apply to a levy, if the commissioner or the commissioner's delegate has made a finding pursuant to subsection (a) that the collection of the tax is in jeopardy.
