Sec. 45.37  Assessment.

    Whenever any person required by law to pay tax on tobacco products, 
and cigarette papers and tubes fails to pay such tax, the tax shall be 
ascertained and assessed against such person, subject to the limitations 
prescribed in 26 U.S.C. 6501. The tax so assessed shall be in addition 
to the penalties imposed by law for failure to pay such tax when 
required. Except in cases where delay may jeopardize collection of the 
tax, or where the amount is nominal or the result of an evident 
mathematical error, no such assessment shall be made until and after 
notice has been afforded such person to show cause against assessment. 
The person will be allowed 45 days from the date of such notice to show 
cause, in writing, against such assessment.
