If the tax administrator shall determine that the excess payment was made in good faith, the tax administrator may make the refund with interest at the annual rate provided by § 44-1-7.1 from the date of the excess payment.

(b) Any corporation whose claim for refund has been denied may, within thirty (30) days from the date of the mailing by the tax administrator of the notice of the decision, request a hearing and the tax administrator shall, as soon as practicable, set a time and place for the hearing and shall notify the applicant.
