REVENUE AND TAXATION CODE
SECTION 7660-7663
7660. If any supplier fails, neglects, or refuses to file the return within the time prescribed by this chapter, the board shall estimate the motor vehicle fuel removals, entries or sales for the period for which he or she made no return within the time required. Upon the basis of this estimate the board shall determine the tax due from the supplier, and shall add to the tax a penalty of 10 percent thereof. The board may make a determination for more than one period and may make one or more determinations for the same period. 7661. All determinations so made, exclusive of penalties, shall bear interest at the modified adjusted rate per month, or fraction thereof, established pursuant to Section 6591.5, from the last day of the month after the close of the monthly period for which the amount or any portion thereof should have been returned until the date of payment. 7662. If the neglect or refusal of a supplier to file a return is due to fraud or intent to evade the tax, a penalty of 25 percent of the tax shall be added thereto in addition to the 10 percent penalty provided in Section 7660. 7663. Promptly after making its determination the board shall give to the delinquent supplier written notice of the estimate, tax, and penalty, the notice shall be given in the manner prescribed in Section 7671 for giving notice of a deficiency determination.
