§40-26-3. When tax due; monthly reports and payments.

The taxes levied under the provisions of this chapter, except as otherwise provided, shall be due and payable in monthly installments on or before the twentieth day of the month next succeeding the month in which the tax accrues. On or before the twentieth day of each month after this chapter has taken effect, every person, firm or corporation on whom the taxes levied by this chapter are imposed shall render to the Department of Revenue, hereinafter referred to as the department, on a form prescribed by the department, a true and correct statement showing the gross proceeds of the business for the next preceding month, together with such other information as the department may demand and require, and at the time of making such monthly report the taxpayer shall compute the taxes due and shall pay to the department the amount of taxes shown to be due. The department, for good cause, may extend the time for making any return required under the provisions of this chapter, but the time for filing any such return shall not be extended for a period greater than 30 days from the date such return is due to be made.
