(c) Any taxpayer 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 so notify the applicant.
