STATEMENT OF CASE

This matter came before the Utah State Tax Commission upon a Petition for Reconsideration, dated XXXXX, filed by Petitioner as a result of the Commission's final decision dated XXXXX.

APPLICABLE LAW

Utah Administrative Rule R861-1-5A(P) provides that a Petition for Reconsideration "will allege as grounds for reconsideration either a mistake in law or fact, or the discovery of new evidence." Under this rule, the Tax Commission may exercise its discretion in granting or denying a Petition for Reconsideration.

DECISION AND ORDER

The Commission has reviewed the letter of Petitioner and finds that it does not meet any of the criteria set forth above to constitute grounds for reconsideration. Petitioner is simply restating the arguments made at the formal hearing. Based upon the foregoing, it is the decision and order of the Utah State Tax Commission that the Petition for Reconsideration is denied. It is so ordered.

DATED this 29 day of February, 1996.

BY ORDER OF THE UTAH STATE TAX COMMISSION.
