(3) After considering the taxpayer's protest, including any matters presented at the final conference, the department shall issue a final ruling on any matter still in <br>controversy, which shall be mailed to the taxpayer. The ruling shall state that it is a <br>final ruling of the department, generally state the issues in controversy, the <br>department's position thereon and set forth the procedure for prosecuting an appeal <br>to the Kentucky Board of Tax Appeals.
