Section 141.787 - Jeopardy assessment; procedure.
CITY INCOME TAX ACT (EXCERPT)
Act 284 of 1964
141.787 Jeopardy assessment; procedure.
Sec. 87.
(1) If the administrator or the department believes that collection of the tax withheld from an employee's compensation as imposed under this ordinance will be jeopardized by delay, the administrator or the department of treasury, whether or not the time otherwise prescribed by the ordinance for making the return and paying or depositing the tax has expired, shall immediately assess the tax and interest and additions provided by the ordinance. The tax, interest, and additions shall become immediately due and payable and the administrator or the department of treasury shall make an immediate notice and demand for payment, notwithstanding when the withheld tax is otherwise due and payable.
(2) If the administrator or the department finds that a person liable for the tax administered under this ordinance intends quickly to depart from the city or to remove property from this city, to conceal the person or the person's property in the city, or to do any other act tending to render wholly or partly ineffectual proceedings to collect the tax unless proceedings are brought without delay, the administrator or the department of treasury shall give notice of the findings to the person, together with a demand for an immediate return and immediate payment of the tax. A warrant or warrant-notice of levy may issue immediately upon issuance of a jeopardy assessment. When the warrant or warrant-notice is issued, the tax shall become immediately due and payable. If the person is not in default in making a return or paying a tax prescribed by this ordinance, and furnishes evidence satisfactory to the administrator or the department of treasury that the return will be filed and the tax to which the finding relates will be paid, then the tax shall not be payable before the time otherwise fixed for payment.
