Posted
The California Attorney General has confirmed the Office of Tax Appeals (OTA) may decline to apply a tax regulation in a taxpayer appeal if it conflicts with the relevant statute. OTA must afford appropriate deference to the issuing agency, but its authority extends to setting aside the regulation for that appeal. OTA lacks authority to invalidate or repeal the regulation more broadly or to apply its conclusions outside the specific appeal.
