*This information is for Model City Tax Code purposes only

 

(a) Notwithstanding Section___ -540(a), no interest or penalty may be assessed on an amount assessed as a deficiency if either:

(2) all of the following are true:

(A) a tax return form prepared by the Tax Collector contains a statement that, if followed by a taxpayer, would cause the taxpayer to misapply this Chapter.

(B) the taxpayer reasonably relies on the statement.

(C) the taxpayer's underpayment directly results from this reliance.

(b) Each employee of the Tax Collector, at the time any oral advice is given to any person, shall inform the person that the Tax Collector is not bound by such oral advice.
