Corporations or mining companies shall receive an extension of seven months for filing the return of a corporation subject to tax under chapter 290 or for filing the return of a mining company subject to tax under sections 298.01 and 298.015 if:

(1) the corporation or mining company pays at least 90 percent of the amount of tax on or before the regular due date of the return;

(2) the balance due shown on the regularly required return is paid on or before the extended due date of the return; and

(3) interest on any balance due is paid at the rate specified in section 270.75 from the regular due date of the return until the tax is paid.

Subd. 3. Withholding returns. The commissioner shall grant an automatic extension of 60 days to file a withholding tax return with the commissioner provided all the withholding taxes have been paid by the date prescribed by section 289A.20, subdivision 2. In any case where good cause exists, the commissioner may grant an extension of time of not more than 60 days for filing a withholding return.
