SECTION 19071-19074
19071. The taxes imposed by Part 10 (commencing with Section 17001) or Part 11 (commencing with Section 23001) upon any taxpayer other than a transferee for which any person other than the taxpayer is liable may be assessed against that person in the manner provided for the assessment of deficiencies. The taxes may be assessed at any time within which deficiency assessments may be made against the taxpayer; provided, however, the running of the period of limitations upon the assessment of the liability imposed upon any person other than the taxpayer shall, after the mailing of the notice provided for in Section 19033 to the taxpayer, be suspended for the period during which the taxpayer exercises an administrative remedy as provided in Section 19041, 19045, or 19048. 19072. The provisions of this part respecting the collection of taxes apply to the collection of the taxes from the person secondarily liable to the same extent and with the same force and effect as though that person were the taxpayer. 19073. The amounts of the following liabilities, except as hereinafter provided in this section and Section 19074, shall be assessed, collected, and paid in the same manner and subject to the same provisions and limitations as in the case of a deficiency (including the provisions in the case of a delinquency in payment after notice and demand, the provisions authorizing proceedings in court for collection, and the provisions prohibiting claims and suits for refunds): (a) The liability, at law or in equity, of a transferee of property of a taxpayer, in respect of the tax (including interest, additional amounts, and additions to the tax provided by law) imposed upon the taxpayer. (b) The liability of a fiduciary under Part 10 (commencing with Section 17001) in respect of the payment of any such tax from the estate of the taxpayer. Any such liability may be either as to the amount of tax shown on the return or as to any deficiency in tax. 19074. The period of limitation for assessment of the liability of any person other than the taxpayer who is a transferee or fiduciary of the taxpayer shall be as follows: (a) In the case of the liability of an initial transferee of the property of the taxpayer, within one year after the expiration of the period of limitation for assessment against the taxpayer. (b) In the case of the liability of a transferee of a transferee of the property of the taxpayer, within one year after the expiration of the period of limitation for assessment against the preceding transferee, but only if within three years after the expiration of the period of limitation for assessment against the taxpayer; except that if before the expiration of the period of limitation for the assessment of the liability of the transferee of a transferee, a court proceeding for the collection of the tax or liability in respect thereof has been begun against the taxpayer or last preceding transferee, respectively, then the period of limitation for assessment of the liability of the transferee of a transferee shall expire one year after the return of execution in the court proceeding. (c) In the case of the liability of a fiduciary, not later than one year after the liability arises or not later than the expiration of the period for collection of the tax in respect of which the liability arises, whichever is the later; (d) Where before the expiration of the time prescribed in subdivision (a), (b) or (c) for the assessment of the liability, both the Franchise Tax Board and the transferee or fiduciary have consented in writing to its assessment after that time, the liability may be assessed at any time prior to the expiration of the period agreed upon. The period so agreed upon may be extended by subsequent agreements in writing made before the expiration of the period previously agreed upon. (e) Notwithstanding any of the above subdivisions, the running of the period of limitations upon the assessment of liability against any transferee shall be suspended for the period during which the taxpayer exercises an administrative remedy as provided in Section 19041, 19045, or 19048.
