A. The comptroller shall issue written guidelines setting forth the terms and conditions applicable to the department's voluntary disclosure program, which permits eligible taxpayers and tax collectors to self- assess and pay their outstanding tax liabilities and interest in exchange for the waiver of all penalties. The guidelines, which may be amended from time to time, may permit eligible taxpayers and tax collectors to pay interest at a rate less than the amount set forth in Section 3-4-190 of this chapter and to pay not more than those liabilities arising during the four-year period immediately prior to the date on which a taxpayer or tax collector applies to participate in the program.
B. The guidelines may prohibit any taxpayer or tax collector that has received a written notice of tax audit or tax investigation to participate in the voluntary disclosure program with respect to the tax or taxes identified in the notice. The terms and conditions of the program shall be approved by the corporation counsel and shall apply to all taxpayers and tax collectors.
