SEC. 513. ASSESSMENT AND COLLECTION OF DEFICIENCIES. (a) PETITION TO BO ARD OF TAX APPEALS .-If the Commissioner determines that there is a deficiency in respect of the tax imposed by this title, the Commissioner is authorized to send notice of such deficiency to the donor by registered mail. Within 60 days after such notice is mailed (not counting Sunday as the sixtieth day), the donor may file a petition with the Board of Tax Appeals for a rede- terminat ion of t he defic iency. No assessment of a deficiency in respect of the t ax impos ed by th is title and no d istraint or pro- ceeding in court for its collection shall be made, begun, or prose- cuted until such notice has been mailed to the donor, nor until the expiration of such 60-day period, nor, if a petition has been filed with the Board, until the decision of the Board has become final. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 3224 of the Revised Stat- utes the making of such assessment or the beginning of such pr o- ceeding or distr aint during the time such prohib ition is in force may be enjoined by a proceeding in the proper court. For exceptions to the restrictions imposed by this subsection see- (1) Subsection (d) of this section, relating to waivers by the donor ; (2) Subsection (f) of this section, relating to notifications of mathematical errors appearing upon the face of the return ; (3) Section 514, relating to jeopardy assessments ; (4) Section 516, relating to bankruptcy and receiverships ; and (5) Section 1001 of the Revenue Act of 1926, as amended, relating to assessment or collection of the amount of the deficiency determined by the Board pending court review. (b) COLLECTION OF DEFICIENCY FOUND BY BOARD.-If the donor files a petition with the Board, the entire amount redetermined as the deficiency by the decision of the Board which has become final shall be assessed and shall be paid upon notice and demand from the collector.
