STATEMENT OF THE CASE

This matter came before the Utah State Tax Commission for an Initial Hearing pursuant to the provisions of Utah Code Ann. §59-1-502.5, on October 19, 1998.

APPLICABLE LAW

General powers and duties of the Tax Commission Utah Code Ann.§59-1-210.

Any taxpayer may file a request for agency action, Petitioning the Commission for redetermination of a deficiency Utah Code Ann.§59-1-501.

Petitioner operated a business in which he was a member of a limited liability Corporation. All other members of the corporation withdrew their status as bank signors leaving Petitioner solely responsible for the liability for payment of approximately $$$$$ in taxes, penalties and interest which was determined from the true filed returns which were filed and paid late.

Respondent pursued collection on the account and filed a lien against Petitioners home. Petitioners home was sold and the lien satisfied.

Petitioner requests that the Collection Division not to pursue him solely for the delinquent assessment but to pursue the other members of the COMPANY A.

Respondent is following their routine collection procedures based on a liability arising from true filed returns. Therefore the Tax Commission determines that Petitioner has no appealable action since Petitioner agrees that the liability is correct. The Tax Commission denies Petitioners request and dismisses the appeal.

DECISION AND ORDER

Based upon the foregoing, this appeal is dismissed.

DATED this 29 day of October, 1998.
