OPINION
Dawson, Judge:On June 18,1978, respondent made a 100-percent penalty assessment of $110,116.57 against the petitioner pursuant to sections 6671 and 6672,1.R.C. 1954,1 as being the person responsible for the failure to pay over withholding taxes collected by the Tangier Corp. for the taxable periods ended September 30,1969, December 31, 1969, and March 31, 1970. A notice and demand for payment (Form 17) was sent to petitioner on the same date.
On July 10,1973, the petitioner filed a petition with this Court for a redetermination of the assessment and also seeks an injunction against the collection of the taxes assessed. On July 25,1973, respondent filed a motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction on the ground that no statutory notice of deficiency, authorized by section 6212(a)2 and required by section 6213(a),3 was sent to the petitioner which would provide the basis for this Court’s jurisdiction.
On August 15, 1973, counsel for the parties presented their arguments at a motions session of the Court and subsequently filed memo-randa.
The United States Tax Court has limited jurisdiction. See sec. 7442.4 This includes Federal income, estate, and gift taxes which are subject to the deficiency notice requirements of sections 6212(a) and 6213(a). The deficiency notice requirements set forth in these two sections are limited to the taxes imposed by subtitle A (income taxes) and subtitle B (estate and gift taxes). Here we are dealing with a penalty imposed by sections 66715 and 6672 6 with respect to taxes imposed by subtitle C, the taxes required to be withheld by the employer from the wages of employees. There is no requirement that a notice of deficiency be issued before the assessment of the taxes imposed by subtitle C, and we have no jurisdiction to consider an assessed penalty relating to such taxes. This is plainly the view of two Courts of Appeals. See Shaw v. United States, 331 F. 2d 493, 494-495 (C.A. 9, 1964), and Enochs v. Green, 270 F. 2d 558, 560-561 (C.A. 5, 1959), involving predecessor section 2707(a) of the 1939 Code. Thus a deficiency notice is not needed for there to be an assessment under sections 6671 and 6672. Since a deficiency notice is a condition precedent to Tax Court jurisdiction, it is our conclusion that we lack jurisdiction of the taxpayer’s petition herein. See DaBoul v. Commissioner, 429 F. 2d 38 (C.A. 9, 1970).
Petitioner relies primarily upon the decision in Granquist v. Hackleman,, 264 F. 2d 9 (C.A. 9, 1959), to support his assertion that this Court has jurisdiction of his case. The Granquist case is clearly distinguishable from the instant case for the reasons stated by the Court of Appeals in Shaw v. United States, supra at 495.
This decision, did not involve an assessment under section 6672 for a penalty due to failure to account for withholding taxes, hut involved an assessment for additions under section 6651 for failure to file an income tax return as required by subtitle A of the Code. It was our opinion in Granquist that section 6659(b), as it then read, required that additions assessed pursuant to section 6651 be collected according to the procedures and restrictions required with regard to the collection of deficiencies of income tax. For that reason, it was held that an assessment made under section 6651 could be enjoined for failure to comply with the sections 6212 and 6213 notice requirements.
At the time of the Granquist decision, section 6659(b) by its terms applied only to sections 6651 and 6653. Neither the sections construed nor the reasons relied upon in deciding Granquist v. Haekleman, supra, are applicable to resolving issues raised under section 6672. * * *
Moreover, the Granquist holding is no longer applicable to sections 6651 and 6659(b) because Congress amended section 6659(b) at 74 Stat. 132 (1960). The express purpose of the amendment was to nullify the Granquist decision.
Accordingly, the respondent’s motion to dismiss this case for lack of jurisdiction will be granted and petitioner’s petition for an injunction staying collection will be denied.
An appropriate order will be entered.
All statutory references herein relate to the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, unless otherwise indicated.
