Statute Text
shall be due and payable annually, on or before April 15, for the
preceding calendar year. The tax shall be delinquent if not paid by the due
date, which shall be determined without regard to any extension of time for
filing the return.
(2) Subject to
the provisions relating to estimated tax payments provided in subsections (4)
and (5) of this section, on or before April 15, each taxpayer shall make out a
return on the form prescribed by the Department of Revenue showing the amount
of the tax for which the taxpayer is liable for the preceding calendar year and
the other information the department considers necessary to correctly determine
the tax due and shall mail or deliver the return, together with a remittance
for the amount of the tax, to the office of the department. The return shall be
signed and verified by the taxpayer or a duly authorized agent of the taxpayer.
Whenever in its judgment good cause exists, the department may allow upon
written application made on or before the due date further time not exceeding
30 days for filing a return.
(3) All payments
received under ORS 321.005 to 321.185 and 321.560 to 321.600 shall be credited,
first, to penalty and interest accrued, and then to tax due.
(4) Each taxpayer
expecting to incur a liability pursuant to this section in excess of $1,500 for
any calendar year shall, on forms prescribed by the Department of Revenue, make
and file with the department on or before the last day of the month following
the end of each calendar quarter an estimate of the taxpayers tax liability
for the year. At least one-quarter of the estimated tax shall be remitted to
the department with each estimated tax report and the balance shall be remitted
to the department on or before the last day of January of the following
calendar year, without regard to any extension of time for filing the return.
(5) If the amount
remitted with an estimated tax report filed on or before the due date thereof
is at least 25 percent of the tax of the taxpayer as due for the calendar year
preceding the year for which the report is made or at least 20 percent of the taxpayers
tax liability as due for the year for which the report is made, or 100 percent
of the tax liability on the actual merchantable forest products harvested for
the calendar quarter preceding the due date of the estimated tax report, no
penalty or interest shall be charged. Otherwise a penalty in the form of
interest at the rate established under ORS 305.220 shall be assessed for the
period of delinquency calculated on the difference between the payment made and
the payment that would have been due had the taxpayer estimated the liability
for the quarter in an amount equal to the liability as due for such quarter.
The provisions of ORS chapters 305 and 314 relating to penalties and interest
shall not apply to the estimated tax payments described in this section. [1953
