1.    The commissioner has the power and authority to ascertain and determine whether or not any report or remittances filed with the commissioner are correct, and if the person filing such report has made an untrue or incorrect report or remittance or has failed to make the required report, the commissioner shall ascertain the correct amount of taxes due and give immediate written notice to the person filing the incorrect report or remittance or who failed to file the required report. Any person receiving notice from the commissioner that the person has filed an incorrect report or remittance or failed to file the required report shall remit the tax assessed by the commissioner within fifteen days of such notice unless within fifteen days of the notice such person makes application in writing to the commissioner for a hearing under chapter 28-32 before the commissioner. The tax becomes delinquent if within fifteen days of the notice it is not paid or an application for a hearing is not made. Taxes assessed by decision of the commissioner pursuant to chapter 28-32, if not paid, become delinquent five days after the time for appeal from the commissioner’s decision has expired, except that if an appeal from the commissioner’s decision is taken to the district court of Burleigh County, such taxes, if not paid, become delinquent five days following final judicial determination.
