Section 710:1-5-116 - Interest and penalty waiver requests

(a) Waiver requests. In the event, a taxpayer prior to business closure by affixing of a placard as provided in Section 710:1-5-122, pays the delinquent tax in full and requests, in writing, a waiver of interest and penalty, the waiver request will be treated as a stay to the business closure and a hearing will be scheduled in the same manner as hearings to business closures in Section 710:1-5-120.

(b) Consideration of the request. Before the scheduled hearing date, the waiver request must be considered by the applicable Division or Tax Commissioners, dependent upon the amount requested to be waived, and the taxpayer advised regarding approval/disapproval of the request.

(c) Applicability of waiver request. If the waiver request is approved, the hearing will be stricken from the docket and the taxpayer will be deemed compliant for purposes of the business closure proceedings. If the waiver request is not approved or only partially approved, the taxpayer will be afforded the opportunity, prior to or at the hearing, to pay in full the outstanding interest, penalties and fees or enter into an installment agreement to pay the outstanding amounts subject to the provisions of Section 710:1-5-115.
