II. Release Abnormality Procedure

Prior to the date when the people's court rules on and accepts the application for mandatory liquidation, the taxpayer's account is recognized as an abnormal one by the competent tax authority, making the taxpayer fail to make tax declaration and affecting the enterprise's asset disposal. In this case, the liquidation group may go to the competent tax authority to handle the procedures of removing abnormality with the Civil Ruling(duplicate) of the people's court on accepting the mandatory liquidation case and the Letter of Decision (duplicate) designating the liquidation group.
The liquidation group shall, according to the account book of the taxpayer it has taken over, truthfully reapply tax declaration during the abnormality period of the account before the mandatory liquidation is accepted.

The competent tax authority shall go through the procedures for removing the abnormality of the account in accordance with the law.
