A.R.S. 47:302, 321, 331 and R.S. 51:1286, collectively, impose a 4 percent tax on the gross receipts from hotel and motel room rentals.

D. Failure to comply with this electronic filing requirement will result in the assessment of a penalty of $100 or 5 percent of the tax, whichever is greater, as provided by R.S. 47:1520(B).

1. If it is determined that the failure to comply is attributable, not to the negligence of the taxpayer, but to other cause set forth in written form and considered reasonable by the secretary, the secretary may remit or waive payment of the whole or any part of the penalty.

2. If the penalty exceeds $25,000, it may be waived by the secretary only after approval by the Board of Tax Appeals.
