Practice question
Does describing a tax as final make a genuinely erroneous overpayment categorically incapable of refund under any applicable remedy?
- Yes; every error involving final tax is immune from correction.
- No; because every final tax can automatically be deducted from regular tax.
- No; an appropriate erroneous-tax refund claim remains distinct from treating final tax as ordinary creditable withholding.
- Yes; the payee may never challenge an unlawful collection.
- No; because parties may privately repeal the statutory tax.
