However, the Department shall enter into such agreement only if such audited partnership or tiered partner demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the Department, that the alternative method is reasonably expected to provide for the reporting and payment of taxes, penalties, and interest due under the provisions of this article. Application for approval of an alternative reporting and payment method shall be made by the audited partnership or tiered partner within the applicable time period specified in § 58.1-399.1 or 58.1-399.2.
