(2) Except in the case of a wilfully false or fraudulent return with intent to evade the tax or fee, no assessment of additional tax or fee shall be made after the expiration of more than three years from the date of the filing of a return or from the original due date of a return, whichever is later. Where, before the expiration of the period prescribed under this subsection for the assessment of an additional tax or fee, a taxpayer has consented, in writing, that such period may be extended, the amount of such additional tax due may be determined at any time within such extended period. The period so extended may be further extended by subsequent consents, in writing, before the expiration of the extended period.

If such authority is so delegated, examinations of such records and returns by the Commissioner of Social Services and determinations by the Commissioner of Social Services that such tax or fee has been underpaid or overpaid shall have the same effect as similar examinations or determinations made by the commissioner.
