§1310. Appeals
A. Any international traveler whose refund has been rejected by a refund agent may appeal such rejection to the commission by sending a letter to the secretary stating why the refund should not have been rejected. The international traveler shall attach to the letter the information required in R.S. 51:1308(A)(1), (2), and (4).
B. The secretary shall mail copies of the appeal to the other commission members. The written decision of the commission shall be rendered within sixty days from receipt of the appeal.
C. If the commission rejects the refund, the secretary shall send a copy of the commission's decision and copies of the international traveler's appeal documents to the Louisiana Board of Tax Appeals and shall notify the international traveler of the action taken. Receipt of the documents by the board shall be deemed an appeal for a determination of an overpayment and the provisions of Chapter 17 of Subtitle II of Title 47 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950 shall apply, provided that the facts stated in the international traveler's appeal documents shall be accepted as constituting a prima facie case and the presence of the international traveler shall not be necessary for disposition of the case; and further provided that no interest shall be awarded on any refund granted.
