270.78 Penalty for failure to make payment by electronic funds transfer.

(a) In addition to other applicable penalties imposed by law, after notification from the commissioner of revenue to the taxpayer that payments for a tax administered by the commissioner are required to be made by means of electronic funds transfer, and the payments are remitted by some other means, there is a penalty in the amount of five percent of each payment that should have been remitted electronically. The penalty can be abated under the abatement procedures prescribed in section 270.07, subdivision 6, if the failure to remit the payment electronically is due to reasonable cause.

(b) The penalty under paragraph (a) does not apply if the taxpayer pays by other means the amount due at least three business days before the date the payment is due. This paragraph does not apply after December 31, 1997.
