§19-1702. Petitions for Review.
(1) Every petition for review of any decision or determination
relating to the liability of any person for any unpaid money or claim
collectible by the Department of Revenue, for or on behalf of the City or the
School District of Philadelphia, including, but not limited to, any tax, water
or sewer rent, license fee or other charge, and interest and penalties thereon,
shall be filed with the Tax Review Board within 60 days after the mailing of a
notice of such decision or determination to the
petitioner.
[235] (2) Every
petition for review shall state the reasons upon which the petitioner relies and
shall include a certification by the petitioner that the facts set forth therein
are true.
(3) The Tax Review Board shall within a reasonable time
consider each petition for review and notify the petitioner in writing of its
decision
thereon.
[236] (4) The
filing of a petition for review shall not stop the accrual of interest and
penalty otherwise
due.
[237] (5) The filing
of a Petition for Review shall be deemed to include therein, whether or not
specifically stated, a request for the waiver of interest and penalties. The
Board shall rule upon the waiver of interest and penalties in conjunction with
its ruling upon the Petition for Review. The failure of the Board to abate
interest or penalties in whole or in part in its decision on the Petition for
Review shall have the effect of a denial of such
abatement.
