Reopening of assessment examines adequacy of service of statutory pre-reopening notice and the right to be heard; the court found doubt as to proper service of the notice under the statute and concluded that the taxpayer was likely deprived of a fair opportunity to present its case, consequently setting aside the subsequent notice and order issued on April 8, 2024.
