Franchise Tax Board Review. (a) In addition to the reporting requirements in section 6, Taxpayer agrees to comply with the FTB’s review of the books and records for purposes of determining if Taxpayer has complied with the requirements of this Agreement.
(b) For any business other than a Small Business, Taxpayer acknowledges that the FTB shall review the books and records of all taxpayers allocated a Credit pursuant to this Agreement to ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and agrees to cooperate with the FTB in such a review. In the case of a taxpayer that is a Small Business, Taxpayer acknowledges that a review of the books and records of a taxpayer shall be made when, in the sole discretion of the FTB, a review of those books and records is appropriate and agrees to cooperate with the FTB in such a review. If the FTB exercises its discretion to review the books and records of a Small Business taxpayer, the review will be conducted to ensure compliance with this Agreement. The guidelines and procedures for these reviews are outlined in the FTB’s Notice #2014-2 dated November 7, 2014.
(c) These reviews will not constitute an audit of the tax return under Part 10.2 (commencing with section 18401) of the RTC and the regulations thereunder, and will not preclude the FTB from auditing any issue in any taxable year, including a taxable year included in the term of this Agreement.
(d) If during the review of the books and records, the FTB determines there is a potential material breach of this Agreement by Taxpayer, and notwithstanding RTC section 19542, the FTB shall notify GO-Biz and provide, in writing, detailed information regarding the basis for that determination.
