Legal Department


Settlement Division

The Settlement Division administers the Board's Administrative Settlement Program. Under this program, staff negotiate settlements of certain Sales and Use Tax and Special Tax and Fee cases consistent with a reasonable evaluation of the risks and costs of litigating those cases. To be eligible for this program, cases must be the subject of an appeal, protest or claim for refund pending before the Board. Additionally, the Division's Offers in Compromise Section considers and processes offers to compromise undisputed final tax or fee liabilities and requests for relief of liability under the Innocent Spouse and Equitable Relief provisions of the Revenue and Taxation Code. The Division's Investigations and Contracts Section provides legal oversight and support to the Investigations Division, other BOE management and staff and the Board on matters involving tax evasion and fraud, including criminal tax law matters and implementation of the Cigarette and Tobacco Products Licensing Act of 2003 (AB71). The Section also provides legal oversight and support on contract matters.
