Section 316-1-076 - JEOPARDY DETERMINATIONS AND ASSESSMENTS076.01 The Department of Revenue may initiate jeopardy determination and assessment proceedings if it determines that any of the following conditions exist: 076.01A The taxpayer is about to leave the State of Nebraska.076.01B The taxpayer is about to remove his or her property from the State of Nebraska.076.01C The taxpayer is about to conceal himself or herself or his or her property.076.01D The taxpayer is about to do any act which tends to delay, prejudice, or make ineffective any proceedings to collect sales or use tax from preceding or current years, unless jeopardy proceedings are immediately initiated. In any subsequent court proceedings, the finding by the Department of Revenue that one or more of these conditions existed shall be for all purposes prima facie evidence of the taxpayer's intentions.076.02 The Department of Revenue may declare that the tax period for the taxpayer is terminated, regardless of when the period would normally end; by sending a written notice to the taxpayer; and demanding immediate payment of tax due for the period. If the taxpayer desires to petition the Department of Revenue for a redetermination, he or she must do so in writing within ten (10) days after the service of notice in accordance with Reg-33-004.02B. Failure to file a petition for redetermination within ten (10) days shall cause the determination to become final. In addition, the Department of Revenue need not reconsider the determination unless the taxpayer within the ten-day period provides security, in an amount determined by the Department of Revenue, to insure compliance with the law. If the taxpayer has not been in default in filing returns or in making payments in the past, he or she may furnish security to insure that he or she will file a return and pay the tax at the next regular filing date. If the security is approved by the Department of Revenue, the payment of taxes will not be enforced until the expiration of the usual time period.076.03 If the taxpayer is outside of this state or leaves this state and ignores all demands for payment, the Department of Revenue may make use of collection agencies or attorneys located outside the state to enforce collection.076.04 If a taxpayer violates, or attempts to violate the rules and regulations regarding a jeopardy determination and assessment, an additional penalty of 25% of the total of the tax due, the interest owed thereon, and all other penalties resulting therefrom, or fifty dollars ($ 50.00), whichever is the greater amount shall be assessed.316 Neb.
