Missouri Laws 148.680 – Hearing procedure on disputed amount — appeal
Terms Used In Missouri Laws 148.680
- Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
- State: when applied to any of the United States, includes the District of Columbia and the territories, and the words "United States" includes such district and territories. See Missouri Laws 1.020
In the event the tax due by the taxpayer shall not fairly represent the extent of the taxpayer’s business in this state, the taxpayer may petition for or the director of revenue may require, in respect to any part of the taxpayer’s business activity, if reasonable, an equitable allocation or apportionment of the taxpayer’s income. In the event the director shall determine that the correct amount of the tax is greater than that computed by the taxpayer, he shall, upon such determination, notify the taxpayer thereof by mail and shall fix a time and a place for a hearing relative thereto not earlier than thirty days after the date of such determination. Upon such hearing the director shall make such order as may be lawful, but such taxpayer shall have the right of appeal from such order as provided by law.
