298.27 COLLECTION AND PAYMENT OF TAX.
The taxes provided by section 298.24 shall be paid directly to each eligible county and the
Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Board. The commissioner of revenue shall notify each
producer of the amount to be paid each recipient prior to February 15. Every person subject to
taxes imposed by section 298.24 shall file a correct report covering the preceding year. The
report must contain the information required by the commissioner. The report shall be filed
by each producer on or before February 1. A remittance equal to 50 percent of the total tax
required to be paid hereunder shall be paid on or before February 24. A remittance equal to the
remaining total tax required to be paid hereunder shall be paid on or before August 24. On or
before February 25 and August 25, the county auditor shall make distribution of the payments
previously received by the county in the manner provided by section 298.28. Reports shall
be made and hearings held upon the determination of the tax in accordance with procedures
established by the commissioner of revenue. The commissioner of revenue shall have authority to
make reasonable rules as to the form and manner of filing reports necessary for the determination
of the tax hereunder, and by such rules may require the production of such information as may
be reasonably necessary or convenient for the determination and apportionment of the tax. All
the provisions of the occupation tax law with reference to the assessment and determination
of the occupation tax, including all provisions for appeals from or review of the orders of the
commissioner of revenue relative thereto, but not including provisions for refunds, are applicable
to the taxes imposed by section 298.24 except in so far as inconsistent herewith. If any person
subject to section 298.24 shall fail to make the report provided for in this section at the time and
in the manner herein provided, the commissioner of revenue shall in such case, upon information
possessed or obtained, ascertain the kind and amount of ore mined or produced and thereon find
and determine the amount of the tax due from such person. There shall be added to the amount
of tax due a penalty for failure to report on or before February 1, which penalty shall equal ten
percent of the tax imposed and be treated as a part thereof.
If any person responsible for making a tax payment at the time and in the manner herein
provided fails to do so, there shall be imposed a penalty equal to ten percent of the amount so due,
which penalty shall be treated as part of the tax due.
In the case of any underpayment of the tax payment required herein, there may be added and
be treated as part of the tax due a penalty equal to ten percent of the amount so underpaid.
A person having a liability of $120,000 or more during a calendar year must remit all
liabilities by means of a funds transfer as defined in section 336.4A-104, paragraph (a). The
funds transfer payment date, as defined in section 336.4A-401, must be on or before the date the
tax is due. If the date the tax is due is not a funds transfer business day, as defined in section
336.4A-105, paragraph (a), clause (4), the payment date must be on or before the funds transfer
business day next following the date the tax is due.
