1. If:

(a) The Board determines that a taxpayer who is a licensed gaming establishment is taking any action with intent to defraud the State or to evade the payment of the tax or any part of the tax imposed by this chapter, the Board shall establish an amount upon which the tax imposed by this chapter must be based.

(b) The Department determines that a taxpayer who is not a licensed gaming establishment is taking any action with intent to defraud the State or to evade the payment of the tax or any part of the tax imposed by this chapter, the Department shall establish an amount upon which the tax imposed by this chapter must be based.

2. The amount established by the Board or the Department pursuant to subsection 1 must be based upon the tax liability of business entities that are deemed comparable by the Board or the Department to that of the taxpayer.

3. If:

(a) The Board determines that a taxpayer who is a licensed gaming establishment is liable for the tax imposed by this chapter but the amount upon which the tax must be based is vague or subjective, not capable of reasonable determination or is the subject of a dispute that cannot be proven to the reasonable satisfaction of the Nevada Gaming Commission, the Nevada Gaming Commission may establish the amount upon which the tax must be based by multiplying the number of admissions to the facility where the live entertainment was provided by an amount not to exceed $50. The provisions of chapter 463 of NRS relating to the imposition of penalties and interest apply to the determination of the amount of tax owed by the taxpayer pursuant to this section.
