§40-15A-5. Duplicate of federal returns filed with federal authorities; computation by Department of Revenue; disposition of proceeds.

(a) A duplicate of all the returns filed with the federal authorities in connection with the federal generation-skipping transfer tax shall be filed with the Department of Revenue of the State of Alabama. When such duplicate return is filed with the Department of Revenue, it shall compute the amount of tax that would be due upon said return as federal generation-skipping transfer tax imposed under any federal act permitting credit for a state generation-skipping transfer tax and shall assess against the transfer the amount levied and found to be due under the provisions of such act or acts. If, after the filing of any duplicate returns herein required and the determination of the state generation-skipping transfer tax, the federal authorities shall increase or decrease the amount of the federal generation-skipping transfer tax, an amended return shall be filed with the Department of Revenue, showing all of the changes made in the original return and the amount of final increase or decrease in the federal tax. In the event of an increase in the federal tax, the Department of Revenue shall assess against the transfer the additional amount found to be due hereunder. In the event of a decrease in the federal tax, the state shall refund to the transferor its proportion of said decrease.

(b) The tax imposed by this chapter shall be due and payable on or before the time prescribed for filing the return and making payment of the federal generation-skipping transfer tax, and such payment and duplicate return shall be filed and paid with the Department of Revenue by the person who is required to make the return according to regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury, in accordance with the guidelines of §2662, Internal Revenue Code.

(c) All revenues collected under the provisions of this chapter shall be deposited to the State General Fund.
