(a) If any person fails to pay any tax imposed under this article for which that person is liable, a political subdivision may authorize the Department of Revenue to make a determination of additional tax, penalty and interest due under this section by the person. The determination will be based upon any information which is within the possession or which will come into the possession of the department. The determination will be made within three years after the date of the recording of the document, subject to the following:
(1) If the taxpayer underpays the correct amount of the tax by twenty-five per cent or more, the tax may be assessed at any time within six years after the date of the recording of the document.
(2) If any part of an underpayment of tax is due to fraud or an undisclosed, intentional disregard of rules and regulations, the full amount of the tax may be assessed at any time.
(b)
(1) Promptly after the date of such determination, the department shall send by mail a copy thereof to the person against whom it was made. Within ninety days after the date upon which the copy of the determination was mailed, the person may file with the department a petition for redetermination of the taxes.
(2) Every petition for redetermination must state specifically the reasons which the petitioner believes to be entitled to redetermination and shall be supported by affirmation that it is not made for the purpose of delay and that the facts set forth therein are true.
(3) The department, within six months after the date of filing of a petition for redetermination, shall dispose of the petition. Notice of the action taken upon a petition for redetermination shall be given to the petitioner promptly after the date of redetermination by the department.

(d)
(1) Notice of the action of the Board of Finance and Revenue shall be given by mail to the political subdivision. A political subdivision shall have the right to appeal in the same manner and within the same time as provided by law for the Commonwealth in the case of capital stock and franchise taxes imposed upon corporations.
(2) The political subdivision may request in writing the Office of General Counsel to render such legal advice and such representation as are required concerning every matter and issue arising in connection with an appeal from a decision of the Board of Finance and Revenue.
