(a) The department may, in its discretion, enter into a written installment payment agreement with a person for the payment of any surcharges due, together with interest thereon and any applicable penalties, in installments over an agreed period. With mutual consent, the department and the taxpayer may alter or modify the agreement. (b) Upon failure of a person to fully comply with the terms of an installment payment agreement with the department, the department may terminate the agreement by mailing a notice of termination to the person. The notice shall include an explanation of the basis for the termination and inform the person of the person’s right to request an administrative review of the termination. Fifteen days after the mailing of the notice, the installment payment agreement shall be void, and the total amount of the surcharge, interest, and penalties due shall be immediately payable. (c) The department shall establish procedures for an administrative review for persons requesting that review whose installment payment agreements are terminated under subdivision (b). The collection of surcharges, interest, and penalties that are the subject of the terminated installment payment agreement may not be stayed during this administrative review process. (d) Subdivision (b) shall not apply to any case where the department finds collection of the surcharge to be in jeopardy. (e) Except in the case of fraud, if an installment payment agreement is entered into within 45 days from the date on which the department’s notice of determination or redetermination becomes final, and the person complies with the terms of the installment payment agreement, the department shall relieve the penalty imposed pursuant to Section 41090.
