No action commenced by the state against any person or corporation for the recovery of any sum in the nature of a tax, or for the recovery of the penalty for nonpayment thereof, shall be barred or defeated by reason of the omission or failure of the commissioner to perform the duties required of him.
Conn. Gen. Stat. § 12-32
