34179.8. (a) If an offset or withholding of sales and use tax is ordered by the Department of Finance pursuant to this part, the State Board of Equalization shall reduce the distribution of sales and use taxes collected under Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 7200) of Part 1.5 of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code to the entity that is the subject of the offset or withholding and shall direct the Controller to issue a warrant in the amount of any offset pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 34179.6 to the county auditor-controller. The county auditor-controller shall distribute this amount to the taxing entities for the former redevelopment area according to Section 34188.
(b) (1) If a court has issued a final judicial determination or the department determines that some or all of the amount collected through the offset of sales and use tax has been paid by another means and no additional amount is owed, the court or the department shall notify the State Board of Equalization of that determination. Upon notification, the State Board of Equalization shall reverse the relevant amount of sales and use tax offset, add any penalty payable under subdivision (i) of Section 34179.6, and adjust the next distribution of sales and use tax to the affected local entity by reducing the allocation of tax to the General Fund and increasing the distribution to the local entity by that sum.
(2) The board shall inform the Controller of the reversal of the offset of sales and use tax undertaken pursuant to paragraph (1). The Controller shall send a demand for payment to the county auditor-controller for the amount of the offset reversal, excluding any penalty amount determined by the court pursuant to subdivision (i) of Section 34179.6 to be applicable to the offset. The auditor-controller shall reduce allocations to taxing entities in the next distributions under Section 34188 until the amount of the reversed offset is recovered and shall pay such recovered amounts to the State Controller for deposit in the General Fund.
(c) (1) If an offset of property tax is ordered by the county auditor-controller pursuant to this part, the auditor-controller shall reduce the distribution of property taxes to the entity that is the subject of the offset and shall distribute the amount to the taxing entities for the former redevelopment area according to Section 34188.
(2) If a court has issued a final judicial determination or the department determines that some or all of the amount collected through the offset made pursuant to paragraph (1) has been paid by another means and no additional amount is owed, the court or the department shall notify the county auditor-controller of that determination. Upon notification, the county auditor-controller shall reverse the relevant amount of property tax revenues offset in the next distribution of property tax to the affected local entity by reducing the allocation of tax to the taxing entities of the former redevelopment area under Section 34188 and increasing the distribution of property taxes to the local entity that was subject to the offset.
