Whereas, Victor R. Hewett is the president of Sunway Electrical Contractors, Inc.; and

Whereas, Sunway paid $32,036.70 in sales tax between 1991 and 1994; and

Whereas, on February 6, 1996, the Department of Taxation advised Mr. Hewett that Sunway was not and never should have been required to make sales tax payments; and

Whereas, the Department of Taxation refunded to Mr. Hewett the amount of $11,645.75; and

Whereas, based on the expiration of the statute of limitations, the Department of Taxation did not refund $20,390.95 to Mr. Hewett; and
