72 P.S. § 7407.2
§ 7407.2. Jeopardy assessments
(b) If the department believes that a taxpayer intends to depart from the Commonwealth, remove the taxpayer's property from the Commonwealth, conceal himself or property of the taxpayer from the Commonwealth, or to do any other act that may prejudice or render wholly or partly ineffectual any action to collect any tax for the prior or current tax periods unless the action is brought without delay, the department shall declare the current tax period of the taxpayer immediately terminated. In this case, the department shall issue a jeopardy assessment for the tax period declared terminated and for all prior tax periods, whether or not the time otherwise allowed by law for filing a report or paying the tax has expired.
(d) The jeopardy assessment shall be paid to the department upon receipt of the notice of jeopardy assessment. Payment of the jeopardy assessment does not eliminate the taxpayer's obligation to file a report. If prior to the filing of a report the department estimates that additional unpaid tax is due the Commonwealth, the department may issue additional jeopardy assessments or estimated assessments pursuant to section 407.1.1
(1) The collection of the whole or any amount of a jeopardy assessment may be stayed, at any time before the assessment becomes final, by filing with the department a bond or other security in such amounts as the department may deem necessary, not exceeding one hundred twenty per cent of the tax for which the stay is desired.
(2) Upon the filing of the bond or other security, the collection of the amount assessed that is covered by the bond or other security shall be stayed. The taxpayer shall have the right to waive the stay at any time in respect to the whole or any part of the amount covered by the bond or other security. If the taxpayer waives any part of the amount covered by the bond or other security, then the bond or other security shall be proportionately reduced upon payment of the amount waived. If any portion of the jeopardy assessment is abated, the bond or other security shall be proportionately reduced at the request of the taxpayer.
(4) If it is determined that the making of the jeopardy assessment is unreasonable or that the amount assessed is inappropriate, the assessment may be abated, the assessment may be redetermined in whole or in part, or the department or the taxpayer may be directed to take such other actions as may be appropriate.
