MS Code § 27-65-35 (2013) What's This?

If no return is made on or before the due date by any taxpayer required to make a return, the commissioner, as soon as practicable after the due date, shall make an assessment of taxes and damages from any information available, which shall be prima facie correct. The commissioner shall give written notice to the taxpayer of the tax and damages thus assessed and demand payment within sixty (60) days from the date of the notice. The notice shall be sent by mail to the taxpayer, or delivered by an agent of the commissioner either to the taxpayer or someone of suitable age and discretion at the taxpayer's place of business or residence. However, if the taxpayer shall file a return and pay the tax shown to be due within sixty (60) days from the date of the assessment, the return and payment shall be accepted in lieu of the assessment.
