2020 Nevada Revised Statutes
Chapter 360A - Administration of Certain Taxes and Fees on Fuels
NRS 360A.370 - Notice of delinquency and demand to transmit certain assets: Issuance and effect.
1. If a person is delinquent in the payment of any tax or fee required by chapter 365, 366 or 373 of NRS or NRS 445C.330 or 590.120, or if a determination has been made against the person that remains unpaid, the Department may:
(a) Not later than 3 years after the payment became delinquent or the determination became final; or
(b) Not later than 5 years after the last recording of an abstract of judgment or of a certificate constituting a lien for the tax or fee owed,
give a notice of the delinquency and a demand to transmit personally or by registered or certified mail to any person, including, without limitation, any officer or department of this State or any political subdivision or agency of this State, who has in his or her possession or under his or her control any credits or other personal property belonging to the delinquent taxpayer, or owing any debts to the delinquent taxpayer or person against whom a determination has been made which remains unpaid, or owing any debts to the delinquent taxpayer or that person. In the case of any state officer, department or agency, the notice must be given to the officer, department or agency before it presents the claim of the delinquent taxpayer to the State Controller.
2. A state officer, department or agency which receives such a notice may satisfy any debt owed to it by that person before it honors the notice of the Department.
3. After receiving the demand to transmit, the persons so notified may not transfer or otherwise dispose of the credits, other personal property, or debts in their possession or under their control at the time they received the notice until the Department consents to a transfer or other disposition.
4. Each person so notified shall, within 10 days after receipt of the demand to transmit, inform the Department of, and transmit to the Department all such credits, other personal property, or debts in his or her possession, under his or her control or owing by that person within the time and in the manner requested by the Department. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 5, no further notice is required to be served upon that person.
5. If the property of the delinquent taxpayer consists of a series of payments owed to him or her, the person who owes or controls the payments shall transmit the payments to the Department until otherwise notified by the Department. If the debt of the delinquent taxpayer is not paid within 1 year after the Department issued the original demand to transmit, the Department shall issue another demand to transmit to the person responsible for making the payments informing that person to continue to transmit payments to the Department or that his or her duty to transmit the payments to the Department has ceased.
6. If the notice of the delinquency seeks to prevent the transfer or other disposition of a deposit in a bank or other credits or personal property in the possession or under the control of a bank or other depository institution, the notice must be delivered or mailed to the branch or office of the bank or other depository institution at which the deposit is carried or at which the credits or personal property is held.
7. If any person so notified makes any transfer or other disposition of the property or debts required to be withheld or transmitted, to the extent of the value of the property or the amount of the debts thus transferred or paid, he or she is liable to this State for any indebtedness due pursuant to chapter 365, 366 or 373 of NRS or NRS 445C.330 or 590.120 from the person with respect to whose obligation the notice was given if solely by reason of the transfer or other disposition, this State is unable to recover the indebtedness of the person with respect to whose obligation the notice was given.
