If the department | 0022| has neither granted nor denied any portion of a claim for refund | 0023| within one hundred twenty days of the date the claim was mailed | 0024| or delivered to the department, the person may refile it within | 0025| the time limits set forth in Subsection B of this section or | 0001| may, within ninety days, elect to pursue one, but only one, of | 0002| the remedies in Paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection. In | 0003| any case, if a person does timely pursue more than one remedy, | 0004| the person shall be deemed to have elected the first remedy | 0005| invoked. The remedies are as follows: | 0006| (1) the person may direct to the secretary a | 0007| written protest against the denial of, or failure to either | 0008| allow or deny, the claim, which shall be set for hearing by a | 0009| hearing officer designated by the secretary promptly after the | 0010| receipt of the protest in accordance with the provisions of | 0011| Section 7-1-24 NMSA 1978 and pursue the remedies of appeal from | 0012| decisions adverse to the protestant as provided in Section | 0013| 7-1-25 NMSA 1978; or | 0014| (2) the person may commence a civil action in | 0015| the district court for Santa Fe county by filing a complaint | 0016| setting forth the circumstance of the claimed overpayment, | 0017| alleging that on account thereof the state is indebted to the | 0018| plaintiff in the amount stated, together with any interest | 0019| allowable, demanding the refund to the plaintiff of that amount | 0020| and reciting the facts of the claim for refund. The plaintiff | 0021| or the secretary may appeal from any final decision or order of | 0022| the district court to the court of appeals. | 0023| B. Except as otherwise provided in [Subsections] | 0024| Subsection C [and D] of this section, no credit or refund of | 0025| any amount may be allowed or made to any person unless as the | 0001| result of a claim made by that person as provided in this | 0002| section: | 0003| (1) within three years of the end of the | 0004| calendar year in which: | 0005| (a) the payment was originally due or the | 0006| overpayment resulted from an assessment by the department | 0007| pursuant to Section 7-1-17 NMSA 1978, whichever is later; | 0008| (b) the final determination of value | 0009| occurs with respect to any overpayment that resulted from a | 0010| disapproval by any agency of the United States or the state of | 0011| New Mexico or any court of increase in value of a product | 0012| subject to taxation under the Oil and Gas Severance Tax Act | 0013| [the Oil and Gas Conservation Tax Act, the Oil and Gas | 0014| Emergency School Tax Act] and the Oil and Gas Ad Valorem | 0015| Production Tax Act [or the Natural Gas Processors Tax Act]; or | 0016| (c) property was levied upon pursuant to | 0017| the provisions of the Tax Administration Act; | 0018| (2) within one year of the date an assessment | 0019| of tax is made or a proceeding begun in court by the department | 0020| with respect to any period that is covered by a waiver signed on | 0021| or after July 1, 1993 by the taxpayer pursuant to Subsection F | 0022| of Section 7-1-18 NMSA 1978; or | 0023| (3) for assessments made on or after July 1, | 0024| 1993, within one year of the date of an assessment of tax made | 0025| under Subsection B, C or D of Section 7-1-18 NMSA 1978 when the | 0001| assessment applies to a period ending at least three years prior | 0002| to the beginning of the year in which the assessment was made, | 0003| but the claim for refund shall not be made with respect to any | 0004| period not covered by the assessment. | 0005| [C.
