La. Admin. Code tit. 61 § III-1548

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 11, November 20, 2024
Section III-1548 - Consolidated Filers - Electronic Payment Required
A.R.S. 47:1519(B)(1) allows the secretary to require consolidated filers to pay sales and use tax by electronic funds transfer.
B. Effective for all taxable periods beginning on or after December 1, 2021, all payments by any consolidated filer shall be electronically transferred to the department on or before the twentieth day following the close of the reporting period using the electronic format provided.
C. For purposes of this Rule, specific requirements relating to the procedures for making payments by electronic funds transfer are set forth in R.S. 47:1519 and LAC 61.I.4910(E).
D. Failure to comply with the electronic funds transfer requirements shall result in the tax payment being considered delinquent and subject to penalties and interest as provided under R.S. 47:1601 and 1602.
E. If a consolidated filer has made a good faith attempt and exercises due diligence in initiating a payment under the provisions of R.S. 47:1519, this Rule, and LAC 61.I.4910(E), but because of unexpected problems arising at financial institutions, Federal Reserve facilities, the automated clearinghouse system, or state agencies, the payment is not timely received, the delinquent penalty may be waived as provided by R.S. 47:1603. Before a waiver will be considered, consolidated filers must furnish the department with documentation proving that due diligence was exercised and that the delay was clearly beyond their control.
F. In any case where the consolidated filer can prove payment by electronic funds transfer would create an undue hardship, the secretary may exempt the taxpayer from the requirement to transmit funds electronically.
G. The tax returns must be filed electronically; separately from the electronic transmission of the remittance.
