(i) For a vehicle with a registration tax determined based on the actual sales price, the
commissioner must adjust the registration tax within two years of the initial registration
using one of the methods described in paragraph (d), clauses (1) to (3). The commissioner
must adjust the registration tax amount of any vehicle to correct an error or omission that
was made in determining or entering the registration tax amount or the destination charge
amount. The adjusted registration tax amount is effective starting with the vehicle's next
registration period. The commissioner must not collect any amount that would have been
paid but for the error or omission. When the commissioner makes an adjustment to the
registration tax amount pursuant to this paragraph, the commissioner must mail written
notice to the owner of the vehicle stating that an adjustment was made to the registration
tax amount, the reason for the adjustment, and contact information that the owner may call
to ask questions.
