FINDINGS OF FACT
1. Petitioner, Air Eon Associates, was the sponsor of a plan to
convert to cooperative ownership the premises known as Bon Aire Park
Cooperative I. On or about July 13, 1982, petitioner filed the offering
plan and began sales of the cooperative units. Petitioner sold
approximately 75 percent of the units prior to March 28, 1983 which was the
effective date of the tax on the gains from the transfer of real property.
All of the units were sold by the end of 1984 or the beginning of 1985.
2. In February 1987, the Division of Taxation (Division) commenced
a field audit which led to the conclusion that petitioner sold 10,615
shares, allocable to 42 cooperative apartment units, which were subject to
real property gains tax. On June 30, 1988, on the basis of the audit, the
Division issued a Statement of Proposed Audit Adjustment which stated that
tax was due in the amount of $238,231.00 plus penalty of $83,381.00 and
interest of $128,622.85 for a total amount due of $450,234.85. On or about
August 11, 1988, petitioner remitted $366,854.00 to the Division
