(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this part, if the board finds that neither the person liable for payment of tax nor any party related to that person has in any way caused an erroneous refund for which an action for recovery is provided under Section 6961, no interest shall be imposed on the amount of that erroneous refund until 30 days after the date on which the board mails a notice of determination for repayment of the erroneous refund to the person. The act of filing a claim for refund shall not be considered as causing the erroneous refund.
(b) This section is operative for any action for recovery under Section 6961 on or after July 1, 1999.
(Added by Stats. 1998, Ch. 612, Sec. 5. Effective January 1, 1999.)
