Section 45-14-242.05Failure to report; delinquency.

If any distributor, storer, or retail dealer fails to make monthly reports or fails to pay any tax imposed pursuant to this part, the tax shall be delinquent and there shall be added to the amount of the tax a penalty of 25 percent, and if in the opinion of the county commission a good and sufficient cause or reason is shown for the delinquency, the penalty may be remitted. The county commission may make returns for delinquent taxpayers upon the information reasonably obtained and add the penalty prescribed by this part. If any person shall be delinquent in the payment of any tax imposed pursuant to this part, the county commission shall issue execution for the collection of the tax, directed to the county sheriff, who shall proceed to collect the tax in the manner now provided by law for the collection of delinquent taxes by the county tax collector and make return of the execution to the county commission. The tax and the penalties provided for shall be held as a debt payable to the county by the person against whom the tax shall have been imposed or against whom the penalties shall have accrued, and all taxes and penalties shall be a lien upon the property of the person against whom the tax shall have been imposed and the penalties shall have accrued in the county and anywhere in this state.
