1014. An assessment shall, subject to being varied or vacated on an objection, appeal or summary appeal and subject to a reassessment, be deemed to be valid and binding notwithstanding any error, defect or omission in the assessment or in any proceeding relating thereto.
However, where a court vacates an assessment on the ground that it has been issued beyond the period during which the Minister may reassess or make an additional assessment under paragraph a, a.0.1 or a.1 of subsection 2 of section 1010, as the case may be, the assessment replaced by the assessment so vacated remains valid and binding, but any time prescribed by a fiscal law and applicable in regard thereto begins to run from the date of the judgment vacating the last assessment.
