A. A taxpayer who fails, neglects or refuses to produce such books and records either within or without this jurisdiction, in addition to being subject to other civil and criminal penalties provided by this chapter, shall be subject to a jeopardy fee or tax assessment by the city clerk.

B. This penalty fee or jeopardy assessment shall be deemed prima facie correct and shall be the amount of fee or tax owing the city clerk by the taxpayer unless he can prove otherwise by competent evidence. The taxpayer shall be notified by mail by the city clerk of the amount of tax so determined by jeopardy assessment, together with any penalty and/or interest, and the total of such amounts shall thereupon become immediately due and payable.
