(6) The arguments referred to in paragraph 4 (d) are dealt with by the tax administrator's staff closest to the supervisor to whom they are directed.

Service by public decree

(1) If the tax administrator does not know the residence or registered office of the recipient, the document shall be served by a public order, unless a representative is appointed in accordance with Article 10 (2). The same procedure shall apply where the addressee of the document at the place of his residence, seat or address of service which he has notified to the tax administrator is not staying.

(2) Service by a public order shall be carried out by hanging for 15 days in the usual place of notice of the place of deposit of the document with its precise designation. The notice of deposit of the document shall be posted, on the one hand, at the registered office of the tax administrator whose document is to be delivered to the recipient and, on the other hand, at the place of the beneficiary's last residence or registered office. The public order is issued by the authorities of the municipality, which will also confirm the period of suspension, for the request of the competent tax administrator. The last day of this period shall be deemed to be the day of service.

§ 20

Delivery by a collective regulatory list

(1) Where the tax administrator provides for a tax by means of a comprehensive statutory list, it shall set out the statutory list for public consultation for 30 days; they shall declare the beginning and the time of unloading publicly. The last day of this period shall be the day of service.

(2) The delivery of the bulk list shall be carried out by notifying its unloading by means of an order on the official plate of the municipality indicating the type of tax thus determined, the time from which it is landed and the place where it can be consulted. In the event of a public consultation, the tax authority shall be notified of its tax liability. The public authorities of the municipality shall ensure that the comprehensive list is unloaded at the request of the competent tax administrator, which shall also confirm the time of unloading.

§ 21

Initiation

(1) The proceedings shall be initiated on the date on which the submission of the tax entity or other person involved in the proceedings was made to the competent tax administrator or the date on which the tax entity or other person involved in the proceedings was informed of the first act taken against it in the tax proceedings by the tax administrator or other persons covered by the law.

(2) If this or special law so provides, tax entities shall submit to the competent tax authorities the returns, reports and accounts on the prescribed forms.

(3) Other submissions in tax matters such as notifications, requests, proposals, objections, appeals, etc., may be made either in writing or orally, or using transmission techniques (telex, telefax, etc.), unless the tax legislation expressly provides that they are to be made in writing.

(4) Submission by telegraphic or other transmission techniques shall be repeated in writing or orally into the Protocol within three days of dispatch. If such submission has all the other required particulars, the lack of handwritten signature may be removed by giving consent in writing or orally within the same period. This period may not be extended or refunded in the previous situation.

(5) The content of the submission is crucial for the management, even if it is incorrectly marked. The submissions must show who is doing them, what is involved and what is proposed.

(6) The submission shall be made at the local tax administrator and shall be confirmed on request.

(7) If the application of defects for which the tax administrator is not eligible for consideration is made, the tax authority or other person involved in the proceedings shall ask the tax authority or the other person involved in the proceedings to remove them in accordance with its instructions and within the time limit specified by the tax administrator. At the same time, he will learn the consequences of not removing them. Where the date on which the proceedings are initiated is the date on which the time limit for the decision of the tax administrator starts, or where the time limit is derived from that date, the time limit shall be interrupted in accordance with this paragraph and the new time limit shall start to run only from the date on which the defects are remedied.

(8) If the submission is corrected within the time limit set, it should be viewed as if it had been submitted without a defect on the day of the original submission. If the corrected submission is submitted after the expiry of the deadline, it shall be deemed to have been lodged on the date on which it was lodged after the correction. In the absence of compliance with the tax administrator's call, this submission shall be viewed as if it had not been lodged at all.
